A note explains that the next issue would feature a fill-in by Tony Isabella and Don Heck. However a decision was made to cancel the Giant-Size line, although a fifth issue appeared several months later with reprinted material. The story scheduled for Giant-Size Avengers # 5 instead appeared in Avengers #'s 145-146.
