Taking a broad historical overview of the Marvel Universe by reading through the major events and crossover events in order. (Thanks to The Marvel Event Timeline at https://comicbookreadingorders.com/marvel/event-timeline/ and Marvel Unlimited)
Author: Steve Englehart
Artist: Sal Buscema
Inker: Frank McLaughlin
This issue features two more matches in the Avengers-Defenders War, which sees the two teams locked in conflict as proxies in a struggle between Loki and Dormammu. The first match up pits Hawkeye against Iron Man.
Hawkeye is clearly outmatched, but Englehart writes a plausible way he could hold off Iron Man and take his part of the Evil Eye--although he doesn’t show much concern for bystanders in the process.
Here, Englehart is much less successful at explaining why the Sorcerer Supreme couldn’t magic his way out of the situation much quicker than he does.
