"CITY OF ANGELS" Part 2 of 4
You would think being a real angel in the City of Angels would be a perfect setting for Angela to start her new life on Earth or at least a mediocre fish out of water sit-com. WRONG. She's an angel of death, born to hunt and kill the purest, vilest forms of evil. However, evil is relative and it's always in the eye of beholder. With the council of She-Hulk and long-distance leadership of Bruce Banner, Angela is leads a vicious assault on the shape-changing Skrulls who have completely overrun Hollywood. Can Micronaut, Kick-Ass, Michelangelo, Spider Ham and the Six-Million get behind her no-holds barred, unrelenting, in-your-face fight-style. She's like a video game hand-to-hand combat character with a big sword and no off-switch. What happens when the Bionic Man gets in her way, well it ain't pretty! What does the West Coast Avengers' Skrull assault have to do with the popular sitcom "That's What She Said"? Who does the powerful extra-dimensional force infuse with the almighty power of Captain Universe? Kevin Hart or Ryan Reynolds? Why not both?!?
Finally, She-Hulk wins a case releasing her latest para-normal client into her custody, but is La La Land ready for GOKU!?!

"CHANGE OF VENUE"
Shulkie is making adjustments in her life. After her big move to California (see WEST COAST AVENGERS #1), she's officially opening Mason & Walters LLP, a boutique firm specializing in paranormal and superhuman law. Her limited-liability partner is none other that the legendary attorney who, quite literally, litigated his way out of Hell (see SHE-HULK: ATTORNEY AT LAW #15) - Perry Mason. But new beginnings are the perfect place to meet new enemies. L.A. has sunshine, but it also has smog. And where there's smog, there's Hedorah the smog monster! Rather than attacking the city in it's giant form, though, this time the smog monster is employing a more subtle methodology to work his way into more people's lungs... gentrification?!?
Plus, attorney Janice Lincoln has noticed the grand opening of She-Hulk's new firm - and as the current go-to lawyer for every super-villain in L.A., she isn't pleased with the competition! She aims to do something about it with a summons and complaint... and an armored battle-suit that makes her the Beetle!

He's Tony the Tiger, fierce defender of goodness whose claws and highly attuned senses are kept sharp by Kellogg's Frosted Flakes breakfast cereal and it's brand new flavors: marshmallow, cinnamon, and "Choco Zucaritas"!

Since then, Maneater had returned to mercenary work where he eventually found himself captured and brainwashed by a group of aiyars (Indian ninjas) called the Khanjaror. They've been using him to terrorize Mumbai like a modern day anthropomorphic Shere Khan, and because the Control Group wants to keep this turn of events hush-hush to avoid bad P.R., the only one who can stop him now is his old teammate: "Colonel Sanders" Al MacKenzie! Can the Colonel find a way to unwash his friend's brain before he and his famous white suit are torn to shreds?

"REVISIONIST HISTORY"
The Squad faces adversity on all sides, and the Bold Urban Commandos are poised to achieve their greatest victory yet! After critically injuring conservative hero Walker, Texas Ranger, the BUCkies' campaign to tear America's cultural heritage asunder and reshape the nation in their own radical-leftist image gains momentum ("They've got shields, maybe made of vibranium, I don't know, and clubs, possibly made of uru. I think this is a problem."). Now their leader, the self-proclaimed "anti-fascist" Flag-Smasher ("Irrelevant clown villain smashes things made of cloth. Total dummy."), has announced his next targets: the Washington Monument and the Jefferson Memorial in D.C.! As U.S. Agent, Tigra, and Harry "Green Goblin" Osborn take every effort to protect the landmarks, Punisher 2099 recognizes that the BUCkies possess weaponry from his era - including temporal-displacement tech. It's then that he realizes the true scope of their plan. They're not just trying to destroy America's great statutes and monuments... they're trying to completely erase them from history!
Meanwhile, the unhinged Commissar of the Asian nation of Sin-Cong has announced plans to develop his country's first artificially intelligent android battalion despite warnings from the U.S. ("Superhuman solutions are in place, locked and loaded, should Sin-Cong act unwisely in choosing to create an army of Ultrons."). President Trump has promised "Fire and Fury," but the Human Torch declined Trump's invitation ("Cowardly Johnny isn't even the first Human Torch, and burns at least 80% less hot than Jim Hammond."), so Red Hulk will have to do. But on a mission to apply "political pressure" near the demilitarized zone on Sin-Cong's border, can even General Ross and Silver Sable control "the Fury," a deadly "cybiote" of incalculable power?

Hey, D.P., watcha doin' over here? Dictatin' a solicitation? Can I try?
Well, Harley, not to humblebrag, because your "supporting character" slot in BATMAN really is impressive, but I've been doing this for 25 issues so I think, given my experience, I really should be the one to inform the readers about-
A-a-a-hem! So, I've totally been in a feud with Madame Mask, a super-weapon smuggler (and maybe the supervisor of a brothel?). She's from D.P.'s universe, but she formed some kinda relationship with my former flame, Mister J himself. My ex-puddin' is kinda obsessed with me, even though I keep tellin' him we're done. Le sigh... wish I could find a guy as dreamy as 2011's Green Lantern, but the only one who seems interested now is dorky D.P. (who I plan to friendzone hard). Anyways, Mister J and D.P. are now involved in this macho shoot-'em-up mutual jealousy conflict and there's been a teensy weensy bit of collateral damage (mayyyyyybe two cities blocks, no biggie).

Variant "A Tale of Two Venoms" Cover by MARK BAGLEY
"OF HUMAN BONDAGE"
Eddie Brock may have convinced Johnny Storm that he squashed his beef with the skrulls (see last issue and FF #39) but Eddie isn't the most trustworthy or forgiving fella. And the skrull-nullifying device the symbiote "borrowed" from the Baxter Building (also FF #39) actually works! Brock now has his coworker and secret skrull Ethan Edwards locked away powerless in his apartment, using him as live bait to lure in and trap more of his kind. And on a professional level, abducting the Daily Bugle's ace reporter gives Eddie the chance to scoop his next big story, with a little physical encouragement of course - something about a vampire nightclub in Manhattan?
But before Eddie can move on to ambushing skrulls or investigating bloodsuckers, he is paid a visit by the former full fledged symbiote carrier Flash Thompson, having tracked him down after seeing Venom on the news battling it out with aliens in midtown. Flash confronts Eddie, making it known he fears Brock can not handle the power and responsibility that he has been given and suspects he is up to something, little does Flash know what is tied up in the closet. Brock tells the symbiote inside him to choose who is truly worthy. When the symbiote remains silent, Eddie smirks, "You have no legs to stand on here, Thompson, so get out before you really make us angry." Now to break that big story...but what to wear? Conveniently Eddie has just the thing in black to cut the line of Manhattan's hottest goth bar.....Club Drip!

The Starjammers, swashbuckling pirates of the cosmos, discovered that the Earth-born ninjas in the Hand secretly possessed the long-lost, ancient, and incredibly dangerous (and therefore incalculably valuable) Kree weapon known as the Halana Blade - and in a daring and unexpected raid, they plundered it right from the heart of Manhattan's Shadowland! But the Hand has come under new management since Corsair and his band of space buccaneers last visited the planet. Its new shogun, Elektra, will not tolerate such brazen theft and will reclaim her clan's treasure! Enter the mysterious Ronin, the heretofore nameless finger of the new Hand whom Elektra finally reveals to be none other than Zen: Intergalactic Ninja! A discarded work of Rigellian genetic engineering trained by the Mystic Masters of Om, the unparalleled martial artist Zen was the first alien who came looking for the Halana Blade - though he was convinced it was safe in Elektra's hands. He does not feel the same way about space pirates...
Zen has a starship that can give pursuit, but first Elektra, Zen, and Echo must break into U.S. Space Command to steal information on the Starjammers' course. Too bad the crew of the U.S.S. Excelsior happens to be in port and ready to defend their home base!
Meanwhile, Storm Shadow, Raphael, and a recovered Jimmy Hudson travel to Vietnam to learn from the reclusive Priests of Pama what exactly the Halana Blade is. Unfortunately, these exiled Kree monks have long memories and recognize that it was Storm Shadow's ancestor who stole the blade from them in the first place...

MOON KNIGHT: PHASES OF THE MOON #2 (of 4)
Written by DOUG MOENCH
Plot by CAPTCLEGHORN
Art & Cover by BILL SIEKIEWICZ
"Part Three: Sefkhet"
Khonshu, Egyptian God of the Moon, has decided to make his move. He rules with the power of a celestial body arguably considered part of a binary planetary system. He has ruled since the days of the earliest human civilizations. He wants it all.
Sefkhet is the Egyptian goddess of the Moon. She bristles with jealousy at the Wakandan gods increasing power and authority. She takes advantage of Khonshu’s plan and blesses Wakandan royal family member Shuri with lycanthropy, transforming her into a were-panther, angry and under the influence of the foreign goddess. When Marc Spector’s quinjet is being refueled in Wakanda, Moon Knight is forced to battle a were-creature who combines the powers of a lycanthrope with that of the Panther Gods. Even more frightening is the threat of Jack Russell escaping the quinjet cabin before he escapes Khonshu’s control.
"Part Four: Mama Killa "
After barely escaping Wakanda, Marc and Jack make it across the Atlantic. Jack is starting to fight off the effects of Khonshu’s slowly fading control. However, a hurricane in the Caribbean makes for a rocky ride, forcing the quinjet to land in Mexico.
Mac Gargan has been a low level super-villain for years who now finds himself hustling a living and garnering a small fan following as a masked wrestler, a luchadore, south of the border. But before his next match, Mama Killa, the Incan Goddess of the Moon takes her turn in trying to stop Jack and Moon Knight and allow the Moon deities control over the earth and sun. Gargan receives his lycanthropic change. It’s a battle between Moon Knight and the venomous man-sized Were-Scorpion! As the fight goes south for Marc, can he dare to depend on his only potential ally, Jack Russell, Werewolf by Night? And will they survive the sting of The Scorpion Deathlock?!?
Special bonus! We’ve got Battling Bill to do these chapters in styles reflective of the art of the countries the stories take place in. The Captain now has to change Mr. Siekiewicz’s oil for his next 20,000 miles, but for our fans, it’s worth it.

"THE DEATH OF DORMAMMU"
The hordes of the Dark Dimension pour onto the once idyllic world of K'ai like maggots over carrion. Scores of mindless ones ravage everything in sight, guided by those fiends who willingly serve as Dormammu's lieutenants - the malevolent Skeletor and the vile Mumm-Ra. Across the field are K'ai's battle-weary protectors: it's queen, Jarella, and her paramour, the Incredible Hulk; their unlikely ally, the Abomination, who wants to save his newly adopted world; plus Namor, the Silver Surfer, Mothra, Cheetara, Dr. Strange, and what remains of the realm's "Defenders" army. This is the inevitable battle that's been looming for years (see THE DEFENDERS #0). But when Dormammu himself enters the fray, all hope is lost. K'ai will fall and Earth will be next. Yet, months ago the hobo Stabitty Jones sacrificed himself by absorbing and releasing back into the multiverse the omnipotent power contained within the Crucible (see KILLING THE FANTASY #5), and in those brief moments of clairvoyance he foresaw a solution. He restored the powers of the Beyonder but bent his personality towards altruism for one reason. For one moment. For this moment. With the fate of several realms at stake, the Beyonder must kill Dormammu! Does even he have enough power to do it? And if he does, what unforeseeable consequences would such a monumental slaying bring about?
Meanwhile, Dr. Strange misses the first court date in his divorce proceeding - leading to a default judgment for his jilted bride! The Sanctum Sanctorum and 75% of his other holdings now belong to Mephista!

Dear Mr. Secretary,

The letter is in his hand. His impeachment is unavoidable, and rather than put the nation through more fractious tumult, Beast has decided to resign with dignity. But not yet. Not before he takes care of one last bit of unfinished business...
The X-Men succeeded in defeating Bastion and exposing Senator Kelly as his pawn, and with the opposition in the Senate removed, Beast can finally authorize a "kinetic military action" against the leader of the nation of Krakoa - his evil doppelgänger from another dimension, Dark Beast! Krakoa has been in a civil war with MUSIK rebels, but with MUSIK's leader Daken removed, the conflict has subsided. Now is the time to oust Dark Beast before he can unfurl whatever grander evil scheme he has planned. Beast himself leads Storm, Nightcrawler, Kitty, Rogue, Colossus, and Jubilee as Seal Team X is assembled for one final mission. But not everyone in America is willing to endorse Beast's goal of regime change. Moreover, Krakoa itself is prepared to act in self defense... and the actions Dark Beast is willing to take are unspeakable!
Meanwhile, Wolverine and Daken discover who it was that liberated them from death row in a federal super-max penitentiary: Professor Charles Xavier! But why?

Meanwhile, X-23 and Project Zero are heading back to rescue Gambit – but they have Gideon Mace’s army on their tail, and Project Zero may be forced to sacrifice himself in order to keep their pursuers at bay.

PANDORA'S BOX
"FOOL'S GOLD"
Theme Song: LCD Soundsystem - American Dream
FREE CITY NO MORE? The supernatural and mutant communities of New Orleans have reached a boiling point across New Orleans with several riots erupting in the city as new arrivals flock through its city when it is at is busiest. The Mayor declares a city-wide lockdown, calling support for the National Guard following a failed coup by the over-ambitious Fidel Castro, who has tried to lead a revolution with his growing band of followers from his Radio Station. But while behind bars, Castro finds himself in the same jail cell as a follower of the Red Skull, who can get him a one-on-one audience with one of history's greatest evils. Meanwhile Scott Summers begins to question his role as leader of the Brotherhood whilst his brother Alex zeroes in on the location of Pandora's Box, the ancient artefact from the Hyborian Age that could lead to ruin for the entire world, knowing that he is not alone, and enemies are watching his every move. Alex and the Brotherhood may soon learn that getting to the box was the easy part. What comes next may well be their hardest task yet. And in the shadows, the magical community of New Orleans are planning a desperate gambit to save their city from the Red Skull - even if it means bringing it to its knees first in the form of a flood unlike anything this world has ever known before.

Bishop reluctantly agrees and is soon glowing a colour no human, even in this crazy world, has ever glowed.
