“DAWN OF THE PLANET OF THE CYBERMEN” Part Four of Five “Bring Me the Head of Spider-Man"
Theme Song: Joan Jett – Rebel Rebel
It's time to stop the brainwashing broadcast of John Lumic's L-Phones, and on the run from the FBI who are currently working for John Lumic (Doctor Who), Peter Parker is forced to call an old ally out of his retirement in Italy, Harold Finch (AoM's Cage & Finch, Person of Interest), who's willing to help Spider-Man after his rescue of Aunt May and the defeat of the Cyborg Spider-Man. Finch has come up with a plan to stop the broadcasts and that involves disabling Lumic's two newly constructed L-Towers, which transmit the technology across the world! However, there's just one problem - they're on the other side of New York from Spider-Man's temporary base of operations, a disused High School school, and the whole of New York is crawling with both Cybermen and the FBI, as well as criminal gangs and corrupt police officers, who have been mobilised with one objective in mind - stop Spider-Man!
Thankfully, Peter has criminal allies of his own in the form of Raymond "Red" Reddington (The Blacklist) and Carl Elias (Person of Interest), and help from Spider-Gwen, Sherlock Holmes (Elementary), Mary Jane Watson & Liv Moore (IZombie). And MJ has just come up with a new plan to help Peter out, because after all, why have an army of Spider-Men from across the multiverse if you can't use them, right?
Either way, the battle for New York has begun.

Alternate "Storm Shadow loves Echo" Valentine's Day Cover by AMANDA CONNER
"THE FIVE FINGERS"
The smoke has cleared following the Hand versus Foot war, and one ninja has emerged as undisputed shogun - the leader of a new, united clan. Her name is Elektra, and she's dedicated to making this reformed Hand a force for good!
Having expunged the dark magic practitioners, Elektra has assembled a new ruling council referred to as the Five Fingers. She is the thumb, who is essential and works with the others to create a strong grip. Echo, the deaf warrior with photographic reflexes, is the pointer finger. Her unwavering integrity will guide the Hand in a positive direction. Master Splinter, mentor of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, is the ring finger due to his aspirational dedication and commitment to the honorable practice of ninjutsu. The little finger is Ronin. Many have worn the mask in the past, but this mysterious Ronin will serve a small but important role that only Elektra knows. And finally, the middle finger is the Arashikage master Storm Shadow. He is bold and defiant and isn't afraid to take necessary action. He led the Hand before Elektra, and now he is her most trusted advisor... and perhaps more?
From their base in Manhattan's Shadowland, the new Hand embarks on its first mission, which will also be the repayment of a debt to an old ally: the rescue of Jimmy Hudson, the young "ultimate" Wolverine and son of Logan, who they've learned has been held captive since the dissolution of the X-S.C.A.P.E. covert opts team by the terrorist organization Black Spectre! Is the Hand ready to take action that might already start another war?

Alternate "Bullseye loves Typhoid Mary" Valentine's Day Cover by AMANDA CONNER

• Things have settled down around The Reclamation Project building after a few days of suppressing the media. The body has been properly disposed of in the dark of night. Oh, if you haven't been paying attention patient Leonard (whom you may know by his old moniker Bullseye) saved the facility from an armed intruder by gauging out his eyes and making his brain mush with a broken mop handle. The fact that the intruder happened to be a notorious hitman named Stone Cold may have raised a few alarms but that type of concern gets silenced quickly by the mysterious powers that be behind the Reclamation Project. In fact, it seems like this recent incident has been rather therapeutic for Leonard and administration believes he is ready for the next step in his rehabilitation process.
• Target: Hell's Kitchen. The Irish Mob have been making huge inroads into the criminal underworld of the city with intimidation, racketeering, narcotics distribution, alleged human trafficking, reportedly smuggling in highly advanced weaponry from Latveria and much, much violence. Beef with rival organizations has led to several innocent civilian casualties and has drawn the attention of the press. It is time to nip the problem in the bud.
• The Laundry Room. Deep in the basement of the facility, Leonard is introduced to the director of housekeeping, Melvin Potter. No longer will he wear blue and white spandex to draw attention to his actions. Nor will he need his white gown, his recent wardrobe of choice. For his next service calls for taciturn, a uniform of sleek, stealthy, impenetrable design, and a light weight but highly powerful rifle that needs no laser pointing, as it's handler is blessed with superhuman accuracy more advanced than any military tech could rival.
• The Assault. Leonard stakes out the Gang's hangout. It's meeting night for "The Dublin Dozen" what the leaders refer to themselves as. It's also when they count their profits, measure ***ks, make plans and get piss drunk on whiskey. At least they get to go out with a party! Bullseye takes aim!
• The Aftermath. Leonard must be a little rusty or perhaps it is the pharmacological nanites that slowed him just an instant to take that shot in the arm, the Latverian super-bullet penetrating his Zylon sleeves. Leonard leaves a trail of blood but none like the one he left inside the Pub across the street. As Leonard disappears into the night, a body drags itself across the barroom floor. A survivor. To be continued....
• Kill Count: (11, "Greenshirts" otherwise known as Irish Mobsters from Hell's Kitchen)

Today's Assignment: Leonard, write in your journal about your dreams. - Dr. Kafka

• Now I've come to learn that there's weird s**t out there and then there's the really weird s**t out there! There's this....thing?! That's the best word, I think. Anyways, they call him the Ghost Rider and he's this whole level of weird all out there on his own. To tell the truth, I kind of fancy that whole burning skull look. If I could have in my heyday, back when I was wearing masks, I might have ripped that off. Plus those blackholes for eyes, like the deepest darkest bullseyes you ever dared take aim at...but...but...those thoughts bring it on again. I'm "THE" hitman. Or was. #1 best. The GOAT. No one lived once in my literal and metaphorical sights. If the Doc only knew what I was capable of. But now I can't stop crying when I think about it. Seriously, when will I get my own damned screams out of my head? Back to the Ghost Rider and that specific level of weird thing. Ok, I admit there are few things that keep the likes of me and those just below, who am I kiddin', Way below my league up at night. That stare is hard to compare. Have you ever heard the "Snikt?'" because it's a bone-chilling sound that sends a shiver down even my spine. That's one too. But we all have nightmares about the Penance Stare that makes you want to skip sleep all together. This damned spook rides you down and then laughs as he makes you feel all the pain you've intentionally caused others. I tried reckoning it up once and I'm in no hurry to look the Rider in the eye. But why am I tellin' you this? Well the Rider ain't got nuthin' on one Dr. Ashley Kafka to leave me in a puddle of tears. In fact he should sit down and take lessons from her! But she's promised me there is a way for it all to stop. I'd kill to make all this guilt go away!
• Mini Kingpins pop up all the time, carve themselves out a little piece of the pie and if they're sensible, they disappear once they've made enough to retire on. Thing is, these guys are never sensible. Every now and then though, one of them gets fortunate and a real taste for the game. I loved those guys, they were my payroll. They're desperate to prove themselves the biggest dog in the yard and they'll pay anythin' for the likes of me or 'Pool or Sabes to thin the numbers. But that game is over so why am I starting to feel that all too familiar (and now shockingly guilty) rush from the prospect of working the other side of it, for the angels?! Who'd of thought that I could do my thing and be told I was the good guy? What a world. So far, they have provided me with some pretty cool toys too. Maybe I could apply for the Avengers after this? Kidding! I did hear the muties have a black ops team now. Maybe someday SHIELD will look at me a little different, come calling. My dreams? To get rid of the nightmares My own penance stare.. I want to be the best weapon I can be, and for the world to one day see me for what I am, what I always wanted to be - Little Leonard, the hero!

Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Take absolute power away from someone already absolutely corrupted, and they will murder who and whatever it takes to get it back! The Beyonder could do anything, and then he lost his powers (see DEFENDERS #9). Mephisto could make any bargain, and then he lost his powers (see CABAL #6). They worked together to kill the fantasy as "the Magician," a plan they've been concocting for a very long time (see DEFENDERS #13). Now, the source of ultimate power - the Crucible - will be claimed by either the Beyonder, Mephisto, or the most unlikely Defender of all: the last knifeman in the west, Stabitty Jones!

If either the Beyonder or Mephisto obtained the ultimate fantastical power, they wouldn't give it back. Could it be that Stabitty Jones claimed the Crucible himself and released its contents into the world? But the release of that much power would have annihilated him... Can the good Doctor discover whatever happened to Stabitty Jones?
Meanwhile, elsewhere another man awakens. He's in a white suit, has a Jheri curl, has limited reality-changing powers, and has a newfound altruism that he can't shake. The Beyonder is back, and all he wants is to Defend the universe!

Calling out to their victims, pleading for help before dragging them into the dark to scream for hours. These beings are among the scariest and foulest of the dark beings, beings that suddenly have a new lease on life! The Crucible has been at work and all of the ancient creatures crawl on the Earth once more, including some that we have forgotten how to fight! Eve has an idea about that though and has sent Ichabod Crane and the Shiver Man in search of the Lore, the words that can kill anything!

"TO SAVE THE FUTURE" Part Two of Four "THE CITY OF ANGELS"
Theme Song: Wang Chung - To Live and Die in L.A.
With the Summers brothers absent in the past and Magneto (See this month's X-Men: First Class) having joined them, Mystique, Blink and Sunfire find that the remaining Brotherhood of Mutants ranks are looking incredibly thin. Good news for them that Gambit has decided to show up to help boost their numbers! He also brings information on The Tempus Crew that have established themselves in New Orleans and a potential link to their origins in Los Angeles! It's time for the Brotherhood to head to The City of Angels, bringing an unlikely ally in Boyd Crowder (Justified) along with him, calling in on a favour that Boyd owes him as he attempts to navigate the criminal network in Los Angeles to find out more information on The Tempus Crew. However, Boyd is shocked to find his old frenemy US Marshall Raylan Givens in Los Angeles as well, and it turns out that the Tempus Crew are under investigation from multiple parties.
However, the mismatched group are about to learn that there's more than one meaning behind the name "The City of Angels", and it seems that no matter where they go, there's no escaping the wrath of The Weeping Angels (Doctor Who). But the Angels may have played their card too early and have revealed what they want in the process.
They desire more than anything, an Infinity Stone. And it's an artefact that just so happens to be the Tempus Crew's most prized possession. How it fell into their hands, they don't know. But one thing is certain, they know that they will stop at nothing to defend it.
