Description
Having returned from Hyper-Space, Fury, in his office, dictates a letter to Jimmy Woo. He's unsure if The Claw, Suwan & Von Voltzmann, who all turned out to be robots, were the same ones Jimmy knew in the 50's or not. As he drops off to sleep, he gets a message from Val about a UFO and takes off in her Jaguar XK-E. In the middle of Manhattan, a crowd of people and a TV news crew watch the arrival of a UFO, from which steps a beautiful, golden-skinned alien named Vaengr. He offers them "The Prism Of Miracles", which the elders of his people hope will "banish all hatred, crime, war and violence forever". Fury, Val & Dugan arrive, and go aboard his spaceship, but Val discovers Vaengr is not what he seems! Meanwhile, Jimmy receives Fury's message, which invites him to become a SHIELD agent. Aboard the alien ship, Fury is shocked as Val & Dugan are fried to ashes-- then, both he & Vanegr mutate into monstrous insect-like forms and do battle, while outside "greedy Earthlings" have turned on the Prism of Miracles-- really a "world-killing machine"-- as Vaengr reveals his race's purpose is to "destroy all life-- everywhere"! As Earth's complete destruction begins... Fury wakes from his nightmare. As he lights up a cigar, Dugan tells him of a report just in about a UFO.
