With her whole world shaken and most everyone abandoning her, she sits alone in her house as she waits for the end of the world. Yeah, kind of a downer ending for a surprisingly short book but...oh hey, Andri's back, and she here to cheer our hero up and get her to save the world! Weird, we could've sworn everyone would be dead and eaten by this issue, annnnd we just realized we lost a bet. Things come to a head when father and daughter clash!

"MONSTER MASH"
The Basterds have been discovered! Luckily though it's by test pilot Hal Jordan (Rocket's pretty darn sure he's heard that name before but this guy insists he's lived on this Earth his whole life) and it's just in time because Spider-Ham has found himself as the main course at Warrior Woman's banquet. Things get even more personal when they find that it's the Nazi Super-Apes guarding her castle. Gorilla Man and Hit Monkey have got more then words for them, it's time for some serious poop flingin (Sorry, I, I had to! How often do you get a chance at that metaphor?) and fists flying (See, saved it!) Meanwhile Hal Jordan, Rocket and Squirrel Girl get the pleasure of kicking Warrior Woman all over the local Bavarian landscape....oh wait she's super-strong and capable of hypnotism. Which is why the hypnotized Spider-Ham blindsides Rocket and the rest of the plan goes south very quickly. If only they had a super strong member of the team, then everything would...wait, does anyone else smell that? Smells like a swamp just got up and walked in!

“MID-SEASON REPLACEMENT” Part One “The X-TEAM”
In 2014, a crack reality television broadcasting unit was sent to prison by a corrupt Mojoworld court for a crime they didn't commit. These men and women promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the rebel underground. Today, still wanted by Mojo, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them... maybe you can hire... The X-Team!
Major Domo’s rating report: A retro reboot of sorts, this program is the highest rated series among rebel sympathizers of all age brackets but has yet to find mainstream appeal.
“That's because there's not enough surprisingly shocking deaths! Let's get all George R.R. Martin up in here and start killing off some beloved established characters! Especially the scum I made famous that had the audacity to lead an insurgency against me! Good thing I, Mojo, have plot armor... right?”
Mojo's clone, creatively named Mojo II by network TV screenwriters, has hired the X-Team to assassinate their former boss, Mojo! Can Longshot and his crew, comprised of Spiral, NFL Superpro, Quark, and Screwball, complete the mission? Or will their series go on permanent hiatus? Someone will die (shockingly), and no one is safe!

DOC SAMSON: SUPERHUMAN THERAPIST #1 **New Series**
Written by: DAN SLOTT
Plot by: MIGHTY ROMAN
Art by: WILL CONRAD
‘Big Time Part 1: I love New York’
Leonard Samson. Acclaimed therapist, surgeon and short lived sitcom actor (but he doesn't talk about that). Now he’s hittin’ the big time-and moving to New York City.
Even superheroes need a therapist at some point. So the good doctor has moved to NYC, to rehabilitate America’s shadiest criminals-whether they like it or not!
Diary of Leonard Samson-January 7th: I've finally got my first patient in New York-Owen Reese. He seems nice enough for someone who can restructure reality. Anyway, after walking home from the office, I decided to have a relaxing after-noon off. I fed the ducks at central park, relaxed in the sun while reading a paperback book, and destroyed a couple of robots who were attacking civilians. I felt a lot more refreshed after that.
But, not all of my patients are reliable as Owen. For some reason, Doctor Doom isn't turning up to his appointments-let’s see if I can change that.
