Synopsis

On the run from the government, Spider-Woman has made it to California when suddenly, she is attacked by two super powered Pacific Overlords as she investigates a boat pulling into dock with no running lights. Even with the Avengers West trying to pull themselves together from their recent reformat, they respond to Spider-Woman's plea for help. The team tracks down the Overlord's base and finds it is guarded by a giant toddler with concussive powers. They also learn that Dr. Demonicus is behind the plot.
