***Supernatural:Survival***
'SECOND CHANCE TO DIE'
The emergence of the Marquis of Death has forced Doom to take desperate actions. He must survey the future so that he can predict the Dark Con's next move! Using his time machine to appear two years into the future even Doom is shocked at the desolation he discovers. There are no stars in the sky, a quick scan reveals that the Dark Con's influence has festered at existence itself and now reality begins to crumble. The Earth is dead, but it is not uninhabited. The Inquisition, a group of heroes who at the end of everything fell to their knees and begged for their salvation at the feet of the Dark Con on his throne, have detected Doom! Didn't they kill him over a year ago? Interesting information indeed, perhaps eliminating these heroes when he returns should be a higher priority. Mind you that's if he returns, these Dark heroes have been devoid of a prize to throw at the Dark Con's feet lately and Doom will do nicely. The attack is vicious but Doom is not without a surprise or two. Namely resurrecting his deceased self to join the fight. Kill these desperate fools, gather Intel from his future self and then put future self back into the ground! The fool was weak and got what he deserved and Doom can have no weaknesses!

"NEW GODS FOR NEW TIMES"
***The sea boiled as Atlantis slowly slipped beneath the waves! Millions of people screamed their last breaths as they were dragged to the ocean's bottom and the Erinyes circled overhead laughing at the pathetic mortals' fates. Typhon had come and destroyed a whole land in his celebration at finally being free from Tartarus. The Age of Monsters was truly about to begin and there was nothing anyone could do to stop them.
***Odysseus watched the stampeding herd of Minotaurs approach the City, even from the mountainside that he was watching from he could hear the screams. Mortals were being taught their place by new rulers, the Gods had grown bored with them and were entertaining themselves by releasing the foulest of beasts to do what they willed. The only possible respite would be for mortals to stand up, rise against the tide and show Olympus they would be neglected no more. But who would stand? It was time to assemble the heroes for one great effort, one last stand!
***Jason tried to crawl away, blood smeared against the cold stone floor behind him as he desperately used the last of his strength to gain distance between him and his tormentor. He had sought to deliver justice for Atlantis by waiting, concealed in Typhon's old home, for the monster's arrival. But it seemed someone else had the same idea! Her tail slammed into his spine and brought his efforts to a halt. Echidna, Mother of Monsters, the beautiful half woman half snake demi-god coiled Jason in her lower snake half and dragged him back to the shadows. It would be a long time dying, she hadn't had a mortal to play with for centuries.

ALL NEW JEWEL #2
“A New Legacy?” Part 2
Written by: KIERON GILLEN
Plot by: DARKSPELLMASTER
Art by: Artist's Name: MEGHAN HETRICK
In Scottsdale a recent rash of robberies has gotten the attention of Eli Bradley (Patriot) while visiting his mother and siblings. Even though he’s gotten out of the hero business a little reconnaissance wouldn’t hurt right? Especially since one of the stores that is a possible target is owned by a friend of the family. As for Jenifer and her problem. The good news is that Jamie figured out how to turn the belt off, the bad news is that Jenifer found some secret compartments that are holding a number of gemstones. Never put something curious into the hands of reporter’s kid, or at least that’s what Jamie’s discovering, as they discover that if one is placed inside the strange looking belt buckle and twisted, well the result is…a sudden influx of nanobots that morph into some sort of body armor suit with matching helmet! Pretty cool right?! Of course as far as SHEILD is concerned the missing item is second only to what the Alien crash, and that might mean more then what they thought, especially since there’s been more sightings happening, and then there was the case of the strange tinfoil hat man spouting something about a “Bird Man” from outer space landing in his back yard!

“MID-SEASON REPLACEMENT” Part Three “LONGSHOT AT SURVIVAL”

• Sixteen contestants/prisoners. Two tribes. Alliances will be formed, but once the votes are read, the decision is final, and the person voted out will be spontaneously combusted until dead. Who will be the sole survivor?
• Major Domo’s rating report: Always a solid ratings-netter in all core demographics, the audience simply loves watching enemies of Mojo II's regime struggle and scheme for their very lives!
• “If anyone has the hidden immunity idol and wants to play it, now's the time to do so... because if not, you're all gonna die!”
• Things couldn't be much worse. Longshot's team has been captured by Mojo II and sentenced to death! But how? Firing squad? Lethal injection? Electric chair? Of course not! They're placed on an island with a “tribe” of other political dissidents, forced to vote each other off until only one remains, and encouraged to compete for rewards and immunity – all for the pleasure of the viewing audience! And worse yet, Mojo II is the host! Can the alliance of Longshot, Spiral, NFL Superpro, Quark, and Screwball last until they're the final five? And if it can, who's getting voted out first? Can Longshot's plan to assassinate Mojo II with a torch at tribal council possibly succeed? It'll take some luck...
