“BALLS IN THE AIR”
NFL Superpro, kidnapped and held in the mind-mashing Chamber of Echoes, has been forced to kneel before his new Crtl-Left overlords: the Controller and Flag-Smasher! (“The NFL’s ratings are WAY DOWN. Boring games, yes, but also the propensity to be turned into super-villains.”). The formerly sporting hero now has a vendetta against the brave men and women who serve our nation. But you wouldn’t like General Thaddeus Ross when you don’t support our troops! The Red Hulk is tasked with reclaiming NFL Superpro’s indestructible uniform (“If you don’t respect our flag, you don’t deserve metahuman powers! TOO BAD!”), but discovers NFL Superpro’s real plan is to spike a football-shaped tactical nuke into the end zone known as Fort Bragg! Can the gamma-fueled veteran stop the ultimate show of disrespect and save over 50,000 active duty military personnel?
Meanwhile, Tony Stark has refused to share technology with the American military (see THE INVINCIBLE IRON MAN #13). (“Selfish clown Tony Stark could save lives but doesn’t care about our troops. SAD. He’s neither Iron nor man.”). Therefore, Trump has decided to use his entirely-legal power of eminent domain to seize certain Stark Tech property - including enhanced body armor. (“He’ll be fairly compensated, believe me. He should be thanking me for the investment.”). But is Iron Man going to happily turn the equipment over when U.S. Agent, Punisher 2099, and Silver Sable come knocking at his tower door?
Plus, a foreign power has been covertly operating an espionage agency on U.S. soil. They’re the “American” Hatute Zeraze (see THE BLACK PANTHER #35), and the Squad intends to route them out! (“Pussy Cat is going to find out that I’m the big dog and America’s my yard, so he better stay out!”).

“I AM THE INTERNATIONAL LAW”
Judge Dredd hates wrongful convictions. They pervert the law, but he is the law... and he refuses to be perverted. Therefore, he plans to apply his unique brand of judicial review to the death sentence imposed by the High Court of the People's Republic of Hydra upon the (literally) howling commando, Warwolf, whom Dredd knows to be innocent. The PRH prosecuted Warwolf for the assassination of their Vice President Baron Strucker, but they got the wrong lycanthrope. It was really Werewolf by Night, who had to put Strucker down to end the threat of the Global Warning. Dredd and Hawkeye were with him. Now, the three of them must travel into enemy territory to rescue the most hated man(wolf) in the country. It’s no easy task, but is Werewolf by Night ready to confess to his actions if it can prevent the execution of an innocent agent?
Fortunately, HYDRA is distracted. Destro has returned and is leading a new iteration of COBRA (see AGENTS OF ATLAS #40). This infuriates Hydra Commander, formerly known as Cobra Commander, who assumed leadership of the organization after it merged with the original COBRA following their war (see HYDRA-COBRA WAR #1-4). He does not tolerate upstarts... and tasks Viper with cutting the head off this new snake before it can fully establish itself! But will she get help from an unexpected source - Snake Eyes, Black Widow, and the Secret Avengers? Or will they prevent her own intervention?

Ever feel that there’s just some kind of impenetrable barrier between you and your lady? In my case, it’s a dimensional barrier! I’m the Merc with a Marriage, Deadpool, but just as I was about to file the paperwork to officially become “Wade Quinn” (taking her name - so progressive!), I got hijacked from the New Dawn Universe and brought back here to the Age of Marvels by Carmen Sandiego against my will! (I suspect Mcgaffer put her up to it when he saw I was about to explode the Gotham line’s sales and was worried he didn’t have enough glossy paper to meet demand). Now I’m in full romance novel-mode as I embark on a grand adventure to return to my one true love at all costs! But damn, crossing dimensional boundaries is hard (and the Global Line isn’t winning the monthly poll enough for me to get consistent crossovers... you all should work on that)! It looks like the only one who has the technology to cross over easily is the master thief who stuck me here - but where in the world is she? And damn, she also stole my katana collection! I was gonna use that to put my kids through college! (Or was I going to put my katanas through college kids... either way, I need ‘em back!). It’s up to me and the ‘Bolts to track down Carmen, bring her to justice, and “re-appropriate” her dimension-hopping tech - and my heart is on the line!!

“WELCOME TO PLANET NINJA” part one “THE HIDDEN PATH”
Those subjugated by the Kree Empire could not always fight back in the light, so warriors emerged from the shadows. Martial artists from a thousand different worlds, with a hundred thousand different fighting disciplines, struck at nerve centers of Kree imperialism with stealth and sword. Eventually, these intergalactic ninjas even colonized a planet that was itself, like its inhabitants, stealthy and undetectable. They named it Halana (“No to Hala” in Kree). The only way to reach this secret world was to cut reality itself with a super-sharp blade and create a portal, and the only blades capable of doing that were forged by the silent smiths of Halana. One such blade was brought to Earth long ago by Kree monk refugees, stolen by the Hand, stolen by the Starjammers, and then finally stolen by a band of Skrull ninjas. Led by Pagon, who masqueraded as Elektra for some time and perfectly mimicked her skills, the Skrulls have now opened a gateway to Halana and crossed over. Their intentions are unknown but cannot be good. Elektra, Echo, Zen, and the other members of the Hand boldly pursue them... and what they find on the other side will shock you! What awaits on Planet Ninja?!?
Meanwhile, Storm Shadow sits on Shadowland’s thrown in Elektra’s absence. But with so many of the Hand’s fingers off world, the demonic ninja Deathwatch sees an opportunity to strike at his rivals...

Part Two
Having sorted out last issue's misunderstanding, Eddie Brock (Venom) and Eric Brooks (Blade) now set their sights on taking down an ancient sect of cultured vampires calling themselves the Antimis who have been literally feeding off the millennial generation they see as culturally inept with their disposable media and lack of artistic ingenuity. No one even paints anymore, except on those bloody useless computer screens as if that was expressing anything of substance! Setting up a techno club as bait called Drip in an all too cool for it's own good abandoned meat packing warehouse that only plays useless, repetitive eurobeats and styled in hipster goth decor, as if the mindless meat jackets could appreciate or were even aware of real music like Bach composed, the vamps aim to give them true pain and death, the only way that will lead the young generation to understanding art and the enjoyment of living. The more he hears, the more convincing the ancient bloodsuckers' argument sounds to an "old school" fella like Edward Brock, or maybe it's the fact that he was bitten that is causing these new urges. Ever seen a vampiric symbiote? You will want to sink your teeth into this issue.

“ENTER PALADIN”
Killing them would be easier. A flick of the wrist and the small sliver of a blade will pierce their eye and the terrorist will collapse to the floor, hostages go free and Paladin is cheered as the hero he is...except that never happens for the Punisher. Damn, Purple Man's programming and Lester won't be quiet either. The newest hero, Paladin has arrived at a hostage situation at the U.N. This is classic "introduce yourself and your tights to the world" stuff! And he needs to do this right! Dr Kafka is watching and he must show her how good he is, prove he's a hero to be swooned over. Well she promised to pay him more attention if he could do this. Whether that's strapped down to a hospital gurney kind of attention...actually that's the kind of attention he'd quite like. Was that his thought or Lester's? Anyway back to saving the hostages, and bullets have been fired at and it's time to show off the mad skills I have and is that Mick (me newly beloved brother) taking down the terrorists in a far too heroic style for me to come off as the head honcho? No, that's my spot on the gurney and I'm taking it. No one's going to miss these terrorists anyway.

However, the Torch is nowhere on Earth which only adds to the confusion! Medusa, feeling the pressure from Maximus to choose Khan as her mate, has made a decision that has drastically changed the intricate plans enacted by her and Black Bolt. They wanted to draw the NuHuman rebel Khan from hiding but they did not expect Maximus to be involved. What now of their plans and what is the secret that they are keeping from Khan?
Elsewhere Triton, Tom Corsi, Luna, Reader and Iso travel to old Attilan to retrieve an ancient artifact, forgotten in the move to the Blue Area of the Moon.

They come searching for the Regenesis Matrix, a device that hasn't been used in over 10,000 years. It was a precursor to the Terrigen Crystals, the means in which Inhumans were transformed to their natural state. No one outside of the Royal Family knows about the Regenis Matrix so it should be fairly easy to retrieve. So imagine their surprise when they find the device in the hands of one of the oldest Inhumans of all, Serpentor! Next Issue: Honor Thy Father!

Welcome to the Hyborian Age! Where every death conceivable is around every corner!

Bishop has already been captured and condemned to die as a demon after unwisely using his guns on the local populace and Bucky must now wade through a heavily armed horde of barbarians to save him!

Theme Song: Peter Gabriel - Solsbury Hill
LAURA KINNEY has escaped from DARKWORLD with the help of DR. STEPHEN STRANGE, but now she must adapt into a dimension which already has an X-23. The world itself has its problems, but compared to the DARKWORLD, it is virtually heaven for her. But then she remembers that the world she's left behind doesn't have a X-23 and she thinks of all the good that could be done upon her return. But getting back may be even more complicated than getting there, as an unearthly being has noticed STRANGE's attempt to meddle with the universal laws, and DORMAMMU casts his attention on the young mutant. Will she be able to make it home alive? Thankfully LAURA has an ace up her sleeve in the form of this world's LAURA KINNEY, who may be able to help her return home.

PANDORA'S BOX FINALE
The witches have called forth a great flood that will soak New Orleans, intent om wiping it from the face of the Earth for good - so they can save the world at the cost of one city. As the Brotherhood of Mutants reunite following a split to save as many people as they can, time is running out as the city itself has become a battleground. To make matters worse, CYCLOPS has abandoned the team and now MAGNETO has left too, urgently taking a message from an old friend who he first met 27 years ago. Something dark is awakening again in the small town of Derry, Maine. But what could be more important to Erik than saving New Orleans? In desperation and short on numbers, knowing that what he has won’t be enough - HAVOK may have to make a deal with an untrustworthy source to save the city, even if it means exiling the Brotherhood from a place that they called home.
