—Captain America (Steve Rogers)We've served with him for years-- yet none of us can say he truly knows him. T'Challa is a breed apart... a man of pride and mystery! Still, ever since I first met him, I've felt a certain bond of kinship... and never more so than now-- for just as he is leaving the Avengers-- so, too must I!

Synopsis for "All the Sounds and Sights of Death!"
As tensions between the romances of Swordsman, Mantis, Scarlet Witch and Vision continue to grow due to each person's troubles (Mantis' attraction to Vision, Swordsman's feeling of unworthiness to Mantis, Vision's confusion over who he truly loves, and Scarlet Witch's jealousy of Mantis) The Black Panther also begins to wonder how much more time he must spend away from his home nation when he is visited by the racist ambassador of Rudyarda, Ronald Pershing.
Pershing has come to ask for the Avengers' help in a matter of urgency. However, this turns out to be a trap perpetrated by Klaw and Solarr who manage to trap Pershing, Black Panther, Vision, Scarlet Witch, Swordsman, and Mantis in a sound dome. The six of them are then threatened with being incinerated by Solarr unless the rest of the Avengers meet their demands.
Thor, Captain America and Iron Man then work to try and find the location of Klaw in order to free their comrades, but instead end up fighting a series of sound creatures created by Klaw. Eventually, the Black Panther realizes that Pershing is really Klaw in disguise and exposes and defeats him, causing Solarr to fall as well.
Notes
Continuity Notes[]
- The Black Panther will leave the team at the conclusion of this issue and will not return to the team until Avengers #159.
- In this issue, Captain America has a private conversation with Iron Man and Thor during which he reveals that he intends to give up being Captain America. However, he doesn't tell anyone else what he's planning nor does he yet leave the team. As a result, he is still active as an Avenger in Giant-Size Avengers #1. Steve Rogers doesn't make it official until the end of Captain America #176 and the fact that the Avengers later issued a statement about Captain America withdrawing from their ranks was revealed in Captain America #177. Except for a brief appearance (in his new identity as the Nomad) in Avengers #131, Captain America will not appear in this title until he returns as a regular in Avengers #141.
Publication Notes[]
