In issue #10, Roger Aubrey'd freed himself (and spearheaded the freeing of his fellow Invaders) from the clutches of the Mental Organism Designed Only for Control.

MODOC's master, the Power of the Century Game, had responded by flipping his Starpoint from " Control " to " Killing " - and MODOK had in turn killed Roger.

The resolution of the latest move in the world-spanning Century Game was now the Power and MODOK versus the Invaders - Steve Rogers going for the game player, and his comrades going for the chief pawn - in Lower Manhattan, New York City.

( The Power caught Steve's shield, thrown at him. )

Issue #7'd ended with AIM taking Lower Manhattan in New York City. It was the next move in the world-spanning Century Game, the one that Bucky Barnes'd broken away from Steve Rogers to join, to end the way he wanted to.

Steve and friends, gathering to prevent that move, were caught off guard. Most of them (excepting Hawkeye and Black Widow, who either couldn't be claimed for multiple issues of a Captain America story or just weren't) were diverted to Baxter Springs, Kansas.

AIM's beekeepers went about their work in issue #8 as if no one'd even tried to forestall them.

( They were enthusiastic. )
