Synopsis for "Look Around... There's no Way Out"
Maria Hill has found the body of "Hank Pym". Video evidence points to the Avengers having something to do with this and other random acts of violence. She calls the Avengers in and asks them where they were three hours ago. Telling Maria it wasn't her. Iron Man locates the "Rogue" Avengers in New York City.
Previously on AIM Island, new Adaptoids have been developed. They were sent out to capture the Rogue Avengers. In the battle, the Hulk is freed from the Rogue Avengers control and leaves the team. Hank Pym is killed (which leads to the discovery of his body last issue...). Several Adaptoids were apparently destroyed and the Rogue Avengers have retreated to hide in the city.
