Age of Marvels: New Universe – November 2021 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 2021!

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 well over a decade! 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.

AGENTS OF A.R.C.A.N.A. #35
Plot by NX01A
Written by GRANT MORRISON
Art by JEROME OPEÑA
Theme Song: Faster Pussycat - Poison Ivy
'Project Sulfur' Part 2 'Attack of The Giant-Size Woman-Things!'
•With the help of the resurrected ex-wife of former MAN-THING Ted Sallis, dread DIABLO recreated the SO-2 Serum which made Ted into a shambling horror. Esteban Corazón de Ablo didn't stop there, amplifying SO-2 with his abstruse alchemy to create an invasive floral species able to swallow an entire ecosystem... or dimension. And so Diablo became the ruler of Limbo, its now sylvan demons at his command.
•Dr. Ellen Brandt awoke in muck, a vegetable monster who knew itself to be human, whose will and genius were suborned to those of Diablo. She is no more able to help Ted and his companions than she is able to stop herself from helping Diablo in the next step of his plan.
•Every garden has a serpent. After beating each other senseless, MAGIK and the SCARLET WITCH are approached by two serpents! S'YM and N'ASTIRH may be infected with Diablo's verdant agent but they're still demons, and they offer the powerless heroes a chance to free themselves and damn themselves at the same time. While N'astirh works with AARKUS the VISION, DOCTOR STRANGE, and DOCTOR VOODOO on the base spell for a paranormal paraquat, S'ym infects Wanda, Illyana, ELSA BLOODSTONE, and AGATHA HARKNESS with a weakened version of the SO-2 Serum not bound to Diablo's will.
•While the sorcerers work, the denizens of Limbo and Diablo himself must brace themselves for the attack of the GIANT-SIZE WOMAN-THINGS!

RACHEL is on the ground close to the crowd while nearly 150 yds away, JACK sits in the snipers' aerie waiting for his moment. His mind is clear, he has no doubt and he will do his job. RACHEL calls him and he tells her that she needs to be ready to move.

She takes to the podium and talks about her promise to bring back American jobs, the American workers and most importantly the American dream! JACK patiently waits for his moment as his crosshairs are squarely on the Senator's chest. Then, the moment that everyone has been waiting, Sen SHARON KELLY has announced that she will run for the President of the United States! But her next announcement shocks everyone and is received with even greater applause! Her running mate will be former U.S. Sen. and world-renowned FANTASTIC FOUR member SUSAN STORM!

CAPTAIN AMERICA #35
Plot by EXCITER
Written by FRANK MILLER
Art by SEAN GORDON MURPHY
“THE SAVAGE SHIELD OF CAPTAIN AMERICA” part two “STRANGERS IN A STRANGE TIME”
The Hyborian Age. Steve Rogers and Jake Gallows, a.k.a. Punisher 2099, struggle to discover when they are. Although Jake’s universal translator allows them to communicate with the barbarian locals, nothing seems familiar. Textbooks never mentioned a brutal land called “Cimmeria.” They’re in an era of sword and sorcery lost to history that may be very, very long ago.
Have they any long-lived friends alive in this time period? Thor? Or perhaps Odin? Deciding the Asgardians are their best chance at returning home, they set out to find them… but discover lethal threats along the way. Marauding bands from Nordheim to the north and Picts from the west threaten the frigid land, but more insidious are the cults dedicated to the long-forgotten Elder Gods, the most menacing of whom… is Chthon! Can the heroes from the future save a Cimmerian village from a Chthonic necromancer and his undead minions? What consequences will Steve’s attempt to do so have?
Meanwhile, in the current year, Chinese forces that were sent by the Mandarin into Madripoor to help fight the Negation Wave (see NEGATION: THE HOME FRONT #4) still haven’t left. Madripoor’s Chancellor, Tyger Tiger, in the past would have reached out to “Captain America” Steve Rogers for help. But the loyalties of “Captain America” Arkady Rossovich are far more dubious as she suspects he is in the Mandarin’s pocket. Who can she turn to?
Plus: A Frontlines Op-Ed by Sally Floyd, “Do You Know Anyone that Supported the Winter Soldier’s Failed Attempt to Steal the Mantle of Captain America?: Why You Should Report Them Immediately.”

“Something Evil This Way Comes, Part I.”
LILI CROMWELL sits alone in an empty castle. She thinks of BARON BLOOD and how she has failed the legacy he left behind.

She holds the stake in her hand, staring at it, ready to plunge it into her heart. But before she can take her own life, she hears footsteps walking down the long dark hall coming closer. She tenses herself, ready to face whatever walks thru the door. She's surprised to see a well dressed, middle-aged man enter the room. She moves with lightning speed, ready to deliver a killing strike! But with a single wave of his hand, he freezes her in her in mid-air.
He talks to her in a calm, soothing voice telling her that he is not here to fight. He releases his hold and tells her that he wants her to fulfill her destiny, to help him usher in a new age. LILI laughs and tells him that he is no different than the others who have approached her before with grand visions of world domination. He looks at her and smiles and tells her that he has no interest in ruling this Earth or any other. No, he has a much simpler goal in mind. He intends to bring fear, chaos and sheer terror to every living soul on the planet! And once they are done, then everyone can die! Next Issue: Welcome to Hell!

F^2 #2
Written by Kieron Gillen
Plot by CaptCleghorn
Art by Jamie McKelvie
Special Schematics by Eliot Brown
“Screw the Benefits, I Want My Powers Back!”
F Squared is settling quite well into their new digs in the Midtown Manhattan Baxter Building. New York’s Senators, relieved that Dr. Storm will not be seeking a statewide office, welcome our team to the Big Apple. Reed and Hank have set up their respective laboratories and have started work while Jennifer Walters flexes her legal muscles in making sure F^2 Inc. maintains full compliance with NYC’s ecological guidelines.
Jenn’s legal muscle are all she currently has as her Gamma induced alter-ego She-Hulk has been out of her system since “One More Day”. We published a trade PB and everything. However, she had considerably more control over her larger, far more powerful body than her cousin did and she is pressing Reed and/or Hank to “Pump Me Up” (kids, google this).
As for our fearless leader, Johnny Storm, he’s touring Jack Kirby High School, Ben Grimm’s Alma Mater on the so-called mission of telling students about the new team and its mission, but is really trying to dig up clues as to where Ben Grimm might be. Ben’s monstrous transformation at the end of Negation left him totally deflated and depressed causing him to go off on his own. While finding some clues, he does find another genius to bulk up his fantasy comicbook superteam roster. Lunella Lafayette, a nine year old girl of incalculable (well, off the scale, anyway) intelligence and a personality that makes Sheldon Cooper (google him too, kids) seem actually personable.
“But wait, there’s more!” (yep, another google assignment) Nadia Pym is on patrol as the Wasp and comes across Paste Pot Pete. Pete received a pardon for his role in the Negation event, but is close to veering off onto another dark path. Other teens bring home stray dogs, Nadia Pym brings home stray super-villains.

“THE MOST CONNECTED THERE IS”
“Judges, lawyers and politicians have a license to steal. We don’t need one.” - Carlo Gambino
Joe Fixit is livin’ large, literally and figuratively! The gray goliath ordered a record-setting amount of Prosecco and scungilli at the Legitimate Businessmen’s Social Club to celebrate being formally “made” by the Don. It seems “Silvermane” Manfredi was quite pleased with the cybernetics Joe jacked from the Reavers. Good thing the Don don’t know Joe had to smash his son, “Blackwing” Manfredi, while on the job. Hey, the kid came at him with gamma-enhanced bats, what was he ‘sposed to do? Hammerhead and the boys helped Joe dispose of the evidence, and their lips are sealed. That means Joe’s future in the Maggia looks bright!
Little did he know that he was about to experience an intense restaurant standoff. “Captain America” and his Dark Avengers, including a Red Hulk, just walked through the door. Joe’s racket has somehow come to their attention. Question is, who squealed? More immediate question is, can Joe fix his way out of this one and avoid arrest by these g-men mooks?
