'THE TRUE COST OF SURVIVAL!'
***Doom foray into the future has revealed the Dark Con's plans to him - To cast everyone into the oblivion reserved solely for him! It seems the Dark Con is lonely and desires company in the void, a need Doom plans to supply. If the Dark Con requires a world to keep him company then Doom will provide one, and as he crushes the skull of his weak future self he knows exactly where to find this world! His plans will require the co-operation of others though and the fools have no stomach for a simple sacrifice let alone plunging an entire world into darkness so Doom will simply maneuver them like the pawns that they are! First though he needs a deal from Heaven, he doesn't necessarily have to go to Heaven to find one of those though. There is plenty of Heavenly power walking around on Earth and Doom will harness it to serve himself.
***Rachel Van Helsing aka the Penance Rider hangs in chains in the Dark Con's cells and doesn't even realise that the mind of Doom has turned to her. She has a part to play in Armageddon, an entire world will dance on her fingertips above the terrible void. And Doom will whisper into her ear, "Let it burn!" And it will. Souls will be damned, the Dark Con will end, Doom will be victorious and Heaven itself will beg his mercy! Survival always comes at a cost!

“PREEMPTIVE WARFARE” Part One “YOU DON'T HAVE TO LIVE LIKE A REFUGEE”
His name was Keldor, and once he was a prince of his realm. But he was greedy. He wanted more. After an unsuccessful attempt at a coup, he reached out to the universe, desperately seeking any source of power that could help him overcome his enemies - and he found the Dark Dimension. With the magical might he discovered there, his face melted away and he ceased being Keldor. From that moment forth, he was indelibly transformed into the malevolent sorcerer... Skeletor! But why is he being targeted by the Defenders?
Dr. Strange, Hulk, Namor, the Silver Surfer, and the de-powered Beyonder have finally returned from the dystopian future. They brought with them a list, and you better believe they're checking it twice – because this list was written by the Dr. Doom of 2040 and it details how to preemptively foil Dormammu's impending plans to conquer the Earth Realm! First item – eliminate the man who would become one of Dormammu's top lieutenants and who is destined to murder Stephen Strange – (you guessed it) Skeletor! But in the year 2015, Skeletor is banished from his home of Eternia, slowing amassing power in the hinterlands of the majestic realm of K'ai. Though Doom forgot to mention that Skeletor had made friends with the refugees from the warrior world of Polemachus and their Hulk-hating leader, Arkon the Magnificent! Which members of the Defenders will be willing to do whatever it takes to save Earth from Dormammu? Which will be willing to engage in preemptive warfare, where there must be casualties?
