Age of Marvels: New Universe – November 2019 Solicitations

[Exciter]

We present to you Age of Marvels: New Universe, a collection of all new fan-made issues on “sale” this month for November 2019!

What is “Age of Marvels” and how does it work?

Age of Marvels is a fan fiction universe and solicitation game that has been in existence on the CBR boards for approximately ten years! It has gone through several iterations and has survived forum reboots! The way it works is that “plotters” write short solicitations for monthly comic books! Then participants “buy” the books they want to read! The books with the most buys get rewards. Sounds fun, right? So let’s do this! Which of this month's solicits interest and excite you? Let us know by posting which books you'd pick up in the virtual Age of Marvels Store (this solicitation thread). You can pull as many as you'd like, but also consider your "virtual budget" when making your selections, as sales are used to reward our titles and plotters. Registers are open all month and sales are tallied at the end of the month.

Absolutely anyone can make purchases right here in this thread - so please do!. It’s free and is basically just saying “I’d read this” or “I like this!” So let us know! There has never been a more excelsior time to join the fun!

If you want more information on Age of Marvels or are interested in plotting yourself, please visit us at the Age of Marvels Bullpen Thread.

Art by SEAN GORDON MURPHY
“PACIFIC THEATRE”
There’s a new threat to American interests in the Far East. After scrapping plans to utilize M.O.D.O.K.’s Super Adaptoids to address it, the Office of National Emergency’s Director Valerie Cooper subcontracts Captain America’s Stars and Stripes organization. But is Cap’s new enemy an old ally?
1942.
The War of Resistance against Japan had been raging since the 1931 invasion of Manchuria. After Pearl Harbor ten years later, the United States finally began to support the Chinese - and tales of the super-soldier, Captain America, made many in China yearn for their own hero...
Tem Borjigin was a criminal street urchin forced to flea Beijing during its occupation. His desperation and ruthlessness saw him enter the forbidden Valley of Spirits, where he found that the local myths were actually hiding an alien spacecraft. Slaying the extra-terrestrial guardian inside, Tem claimed ten rings from the vessel - each offering an incredible ability that allowed him to fight back against the Japanese. As his fame and infamy grew among allies and enemies alike, he became known as... the Mandarin! Yet fame and infamy have their consequences.
When the Americans intercepted intelligence that the Empire’s elite ninja, a division of the Hand, were being dispatched to slay the Mandarin, they pulled Steve Rogers and his sidekick Bucky Barnes from the European theatre and air-dropped them in with a special mission: save their eastern asset’s life! But can even these heroes of World War II defeat Japan’s most lethal mystical assassins?
And unbeknownst to Cap, the child soldier Bucky has classified orders: to obtain the Rings of the Mandarin for America... by any means necessary!
Plus: A Frontlines Op-Ed by Sally Floyd, “Fact Check: The Purpose of Ninjas is Not and Never Was to Flip Out and Kill People - An Exploration of the Unjustly Maligned Mental Health Status of the Average Shinobi.”

THE MIGHTY THOR #11
Plot by EXCITER
Written by ALAN MOORE
Art by MIKE MIGNOLA
“INTO THE FREY”
Asgard has fallen. In its ravaged Royal Palace, the Draugr King Thrain stands beside the throne now occupied by the All-Mother Frigga, who betrayed and slew her husband Odin. But what brought her... to this?
In the time before time, it is said that the sons of Buri, Bor and Njord, did war upon one another. Bor prevailed. His loyalists would become the Aesir of Asgard. Njord, having been slain, left his lieutenant Frey to shepherd his supporters into exile. They became the Vanir of Vanaheim. Thus they grew apart. But Bor’s successor, Odin, sought to reunite his race of “gods.” When Vanaheim refused, Asgard invaded. Much blood was shed. To end the strife, Frey’s daughter Freyja agreed to wed Odin. So betrothed, she was given an Asgardian name and her disobedient father was cast out of both Realms. And lo, Vanaheim carried on under Asgard’s banner - yet it’s people always yearned for independence. This desire multiplied after recent perceived insults to the Realm, including Odin’s decision to jeopardize Vanaheim by secretly granting land within it to the Midgardian monster, the Hulk, then forgoing the execution of the Hulk after he inevitably rampaged throughout the Realm, and then awarding more sovereign Vanaheim territory to Ulik’s barbarous Rock Trolls for helping end the threat that Odin himself created (see THE MIGHTY THOR #1, 2, 4 & 5).
No longer would Vanaheim be abused. And no longer would she be “Frigga.” She was Freyja again, now and forevermore. And no longer would the cursed undead Draugr be known as Thrain. He, too, had earned his original name. He was, once again, Frey! And woe be onto the enemies of their new royal family...
Elsewhere, Thor, Sif, Loki, Ulik, and the Hulk, amongst other survivors, attempt a retreat into the Sea of Stars aboard the Asgardian ship Skíðblaðnir. But in hot pursuit is the Naglfar, unrivaled vessel of the dead, and at its helm in none other than Malekith the Accursed! Can the heroes escape in time to save their most precious cargo - a barely-clinging-to-life Odin?!?
