Disclose Notes: Evolutionary War crossover.
Notoriously, this story eliminated all of Mantis' dialogue as part of Marvel editorial blackballing Englehart's attempt to add her to the West Coast Avengers' cast. This resulted in panels in which Mantis was the centre figure and had her mouth open but no speech balloon.
