“YOU'RE NO GOOD TO ME DEADPOOL” Part Two “THREE MEN AND A BOUNTY”
The much-anticipated smackdown between internet rivals moi (the Merc with a Mouth, Deadpool) and bounty hunter to the stars, Boba Fett, rages on! My team of Death-Denying Thunderbolts didn't exactly fare so well against the space invader last ish (understatement), with Ghost, Power Princess, and Doppelgänger ending up in the hospital and Starscream ending up frozen in carbonite! But when that happened, my common sense started tingling and I realized Starscream was ol' buckethead's bounty! Though, perhaps, not his only one... Boba's ship, the Slave I, hasn't broken orbit. That means he still has business on Earth, and I think I know what it is. "Detroit Steel" Sasha Hammer is in her third trimester and carrying Starscream's Decepti-kid in her very distended belly. This is the first ever hybrid between our races, and someone out in the universe must be willing to pay big bucks (or credits? Is that the accepted space currency?) to get their hands on the not-so-happy family. As a matter of professional pride, I can't let that happen. But Sasha left my team and joined Juggernaut's Unstoppable Thunderbolts a few issues ago. Soooooo it's going to be just super awkward to do a team-up with them right now... but drama sells, right?

“WHAT WE WILL GROW UP TO BE”
Prelude to “FREEDOM IS YOUR ONLY CHOICE”
If some twisted union between Captain America and the Red Skull ever resulted in offspring, you might imagine that offspring would very much resemble the man whom the press has nick-named “the Red, White, and Blue Skull”! This jingoistic zealot believes freedom is your only choice, and he leads an unsanctioned group of global vigilantes who believe the same. They go hard against "terrorists," and have become a persistent thorn in the side of non-democratic nations around the globe, including and especially the People's Republic of Hydra! Hydra Commander will no longer tolerate this and decides to send the treacherous spy Purple Widow to assassinate the Skull - but it's bring your kids to work day, and she decides that Hawkeye's HYDRA-indoctrinated pre-teen son Callum Barton should observe and assist mommy on the job in a kind of murderous internship. What could go wrong?
Meanwhile, Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. Nick Fury and his Secret Avengers debrief the time-displaced Judge Dredd about the next 200 years. In his future, a fascist regime – the Volgans - takes over a post-Putin, post-Rasputin Russia and starts a devastating world war that results in the planet's population centers shifting towards mega-cities. The first blitz is the Volgan's “Eight Hour War,” where the United Kingdom is demolished and enslaved in that brief amount of time. Obviously, Union Jack has a problem with that – and he's willing to defy orders and embark on an unsanctioned mission to take out the Volgan's leader, Marshal Vashkov, before the damage is done! But he's not expecting Vashkov's bodyguard... the Black Widow!?!

“THE MEN BEHIND THE MASKS” Part Two “WHO YOU ARE AND WHO YOU USED TO BE”
With the feared demonic mask forced upon his face, the new leader of the Hand - Storm Shadow - is possessed by the malevolent Japanese oni, Ogun! And the problem with fighting Ogun is that, as an incorporeal entity, you can only do damage to his host body. Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow's protege, Raphael, would rather avoid that... and Ogun's greatest enemy might know how! Wolverine guest stars and identifies the one man able to resist Ogun's possession, a mercenary named "Sharp." Sharp went by "Shogun" when he wore the mask and constantly heard Ogun's whispers in his mind, though he was uniquely able to resist them (most of the time). Snake Eyes, Raphael, and Wolverine must now track down this Sharp and convince him, one way or the other, to reassume the burden of hosting Ogun in order to protect the world from his otherwise unchecked evil – a task much easier said than done!
