Continuity Notes
In this issue the Avengers meet at Doctor Doom’s castle to use his Time Platform, which previously appeared in Fantastic Four #23. However in that issue the Time Platform had been relocated to the Baxter Building. This continuity issue was later clarified in Fantastic Four Annual #11: the Time Platform from Fantastic Four #23 was a duplicate built by Mr Fantastic, whereas the original Time Platform remained in Doom’s castle.


Though Captain America did not learn it at this time, Bucky did indeed survive, as revealed in Captain America Vol 5 #8.
