The Old Order

I had read the Avengers on and off for about two years before picking up #210. Earth's mightiest heroes split up across the globe to battle the powerful Weathermen. Beast went to Buenos Aires; Scarlet Witch and Vision went to Kansas; Wasp and Wonder Man went to Antarctica; Captain American and Iron Man went to London; Thor remained in New York. Only after the others left did Thor encounter the robot Jocasta, who still lived at Avengers Mansion yet somehow was overlooked. I very much liked this combination of Avengers and was disappointed when #211 reorganized the lineup.
