Titled ‘The Ghost of Avengers Mansion’, the new issue sees Janet Van Dyne trying to grapple with the mystery of amnesiac mystery man Vic Shade who is inhabiting the body of her former foe, Whirlwind. Meanwhile a ghost is haunting the corridors of Avengers Mansion and, as you’ll see, picking off people who get in its way.

Marvel’s official synopsis for the new issue reads:
“MYSTERY AT THE MANSION! Her name is Janet Van Dyne. She’s known “Victor Shade” for years - as the Vision’s cover identity. His name is Victor Shade. Whoever he is, he’s not the Vision. And together, they’re hunting the Ghost of Avengers Mansion - a ghost who might just be…the Vision? Did we mention our guest star?”
