[Exciter]

We present to you Age of Marvels: New Universe, a collection of all new fan-made issues on “sale” this month for FEBRUARY-MARCH 2024!

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 for a month and sales are tallied on the third Friday 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.

ACADEMY X #3
Written by TILLIE WALDEN
Plot by H-E-D

Passages — Cyber Stockholm Syndrome
Cormick “Pipeline” Grimshaw of the Dark Riders has an idea: use his powers to trap the Paragons in cyberspace!
It’s very important to him that the Dark Riders win the intermural competition — and the best way for them to win is to keep the Paragons out of it!
The Dark Riders aren’t all on board with the plan.
Pixie thinks it cruel. Jetstream and Bling! thinks it will cheapen any victory.
But Deadbolt supports Pipeline. And with Deadbolt as their de-facto leader only, Pipeline immediately put the plan into action!
…only to accidentally trap *both* teams in cyberspace instead!
It’s an inauspicious first meeting between the two squads, to say the least.
Of course, they immediately start to fight… but in the digital arena, the Riders have the upper hand!
Chance has an idea: if Pipeline’s powers are keeping them digitized, then disrupting his powers might let them free.
On the other hand… it might kill them.
Time to find out.

'A QUEEN OF INFINITE SPACE'
•Cloaked MAGIK watches S.H.I.E.L.D. Wizardry Alchemy Necromancy Department agents take immortal mutant sorceress SELENE, her were-mutant vassal FRIEDRICH VON ROEHM, and the mystical HUNTER IN DARKNESS into custody. NIGHTWATCH, GHOSTDANCER, and JAINE CUTTER believed Illyana's assertion that their W.A.N.D. superiors were misguided about her, MAN-THING, and BOG-BOY being affected by Lovecraftian radiation, and that something sinister was going on. Magik didn't come away empty handed, though, having retrieved the fabled Grimorium Verum from defeated Selene.
•After the DARKCHILDE's planar throne ascension, DOCTOR STRANGE and CLEA go back to their respective demesnes. The Dark Dimension is as brutal as ever, and Earth remains a confounding melange of contradictions.
•Clea's trek into the long night of the Dark Dimension seems longer than usual, the interdimensional space between Limbo and her demesne seems infinite. Something is keeping her in the interstitial no-places but no one puts Clea in a cage. Shedding her own Faltine blood onto orichalcum daggers, Clea carves her way through endless nothing down to her kingdom!

STAR TREK: AVENGER #3
Plot by EXCITER
Written by D.C. FONTANA
Art by JASON FABOK
“ONE MAN CAN CHANGE HISTORY”
Spock. One of the most pivotal individuals in Federation history. He saved the universe on multiple occasions. He died and came back. He was directly responsible for peace initiatives with two of the Federation’s most implacable foes; the Klingons and the Romulans. His actions created entire new timelines. To alter the course of his long and prosperous life, in even subtle ways, would have profound repercussions in multiple universes…. and that is exactly what the Suliban Cabal and their mysterious benefactor (the “future guy”) intend to do!
A mixed-species child, Spock was raised by his parents, Sarek and Amanda Grayson. The Cabal plans to destabilize his development, making him a different person, by altering events so that his upbringing is impacted by a highly emotional adopted human sister: Michael Burnham. This is the Cabal’s last chance to effectuate the changes it needs in order to win the Temporal Cold War!
Against the Cabal stands Captain Morgan Bateson and the crew of the U.S.S. Avenger!
Bateson’s first officer, Robin Lefler, takes command of the ship! In the year 2236, she moves to prevent a Klingon attack on the Doctari Alpha Research Post: the very attack which, orchestrated by the Cabal, would leave Burnham an orphan!
Meanwhile, Captain Bateson leads an away team into the future to strike directly at the Cabal’s mysterious benefactor! But Bateson, Pendari Champion, and Mordock walk into a trap - and soon discover the identity of the “future guy,” who is neither a guy nor originally from the future! It’s her! It’s been an older Michael Burnham all along! And she’s thought of everything!
To end the Temporal Cold War forever, Commander Lefler must break the time loop and prevent Burham from retroactively causing her own origin! And Lefler’s got to do it before her Captain is killed in the future! But is it already too late? Is her only hope… a young Spock?

Writer: JOSHUA DYSART
Artist: SALVADOR LARROCA
Plotter: Marvell2100
ROGUE NATION: FEAR OF A BLACK PANTHER!
Welcome to WNN(World News Now)! I'm Jenna Myers! And I'm Erica Brysun! It's been four months since the devastating attack on the people of N'Gabo by the super-powered nation of Wakanda! As humanitarian aid continues to pour in, the UN has assembled to vote on whether to designate Wakanda as a rogue nation and designate it's leader King T'Challa as a war criminal! Stay tuned to WNN as we continue to bring you the latest!!!
In Wakanda, T'Challa, Shuri and his advisors continue to investigate how missiles from Wakanda were launched into N'Gabo! They need answers fast to find whoever was behind the missile attack and prevent a needless conflict that would only result in more deaths! However, there is a growing mindset some among his advisors. For too long has Wakanda held back, not shown her true power. Many of them would welcome a fight with the other world powers! They have always looked at Wakanda with an envious eye! All this talk of punishing Wakanda has made them angry! If the world wants war then let's give them war!
Elsewhere, inside N'Gabo, the death toll continues to climb as the citizens cry out in desperation while some seek vengeance! Inside the Presidential palace, a different conversation is going on. President Markus Zulu is furious. How did this attack happen? It was not supposed to be this way, Wakanda was the one that was supposed to be destroyed! Standing with him are Moses Magnum, Red King of The Hellfire Club and one other. Magnum tells Zulu to calm down for a moment and listen to their ally. This was an unfortunate but necessary step in their plan.
From the shadow emerges a familiar face, one that looks just like...T'Challa? His name is The Coal Tiger and he is a survivor from the previously destroyed Ultimate Universe! He places his hand upon Zulu's shoulder and tells him to relax. In order for them to achieve their sacrifices had to be made. The thousands of N'Gaban who died will be honored and their deaths will not be in vain. Their sacrifice will give rise to hate for Wakanda and the Black Panther! With that hate the entire world will turn against Wakanda and then they will come in and burn T'Challa and his country to the ground!

VALIANT CAPTAIN AMERICA #63
Plot by EXCITER
Written by FRANK MILLER
Art by SEAN GORDON MURPHY
“THE REGROWN HEAD OF HYDRA”
The tale of the thousand year reign of HYDRA is well known in the Valiant Age Universe. It began with Daniel Whitehall, “the Kraken,” who arrived in the year 2024 from another reality. He brought with him advanced technology - including the means to control minds. He found allies: Project Rising Spirit, an A.I.M.-style organization with unethical weaponry; the H.A.R.D. Corps, a combat unit with neural implants that let them mimic the powers of harbingers (this universe’s version of mutants); Master Darque, a powerful necromancer; and Roku, an unparalleled assassin. With their help, he stole and corrupted both the U.S. Government and the minds of the world’s heroes, including X-O Manowar, Bloodshot, and Ninjak. Thus, the Kraken succeeded where he failed in his own universe (in the instant classic WORLD WAR ZEMO). At his presidential inauguration, the Kraken’s reign was baptized in the blood of his greatest enemy: Captain America was kidnapped from the Age of Marvels Universe… and publicly executed as a show of strength! Hail valiant HYDRA!
By the 41st century, the damage caused by the Kraken was profound. Earth was a dystopia. One man saw it all happen: the “Eternal Warrior” Gilad Anni-Padda, an immortal hero. He could not stop it then, but after carrying a dead hero’s vibranium shield for 2000 years, maybe he can stop it now. Gilad has recruited his brother Ivar, the “Timewalker,” and Rai, the positronic guardian of New Japan (the entire country became an orbital space station to escape HYDRA). Using Ivar’s Tachyon Compass, Gilad plans to go back in time to 2024, prevent Captain America’s execution, and stop HYDRA! But President Kraken has safeguards in place to prevent any interference…

•In the Den of the PSYCHO-MEN, ARCHANGEL defends unconscious M and ROGUE against the CONTROLLER, PROFESSOR POWER, PSYCHO-MAN, and PSI-BORG! Since Warren literally shed his techno-organic murder drone personality, he's back to feathery wings plus an unexpected evolution of his natural mutant powers. As the Psycho-Men feel their life forces leave their bodies, they fight back physically and psychically against an angel who has been through several baptisms of fire, an angel who can go toe to toe and mind to mind with them. Will the Psycho-Men survive the rapture?
•With her plan to have her adopted daughter Rogue permanently absorb M's versatile abilities complete, Outer Sphere Ebon Queen DESTINY turns her extraordinary prescience to the ongoing mutant war. Her vision fails beyond her next possible move: the exceedingly dangerous task of directing the rage of MAGNETO and the instability of the SCARLET WITCH at APOCALYPSE's Russia! En Sabah Nur's sights are set on CYCLOPS & PHOENIX's unborn child, and his HORSEMEN will try taking out the X-Men's most powerful allies first: the Outer Sphere! In saving her own skin and MYSTIQUE's, Destiny hopes to save the present from the dark future she sees burning just beyond the horizon.
•While Destiny makes her plans secretly, the other Courts make their plans openly. A strike team consisting of BANSHEE, LADY KWANNON, NIGHTCRAWLER, and X-23 will escort Cyclops & Phoenix to Cassidy Keep where the combined Outer Sphere will protect them. A good plan but a temporal blind spot may keep Destiny from seeing what lies between the strike team and their targets.

HULK IN SPACE #1
Plot by EXCITER
Written by MATT KINDT
Art by RON GARNEY
“IMPERIUM”
In the grim, dark galaxy of the Large Magellanic Cloud… there is only war! The beleaguered Kree Empire, a military-technocratic dictatorship, extends to nearly a thousand worlds. There and beyond, the Imperial Militia fights endlessly in the name of the Kree’s Supremor: the Supreme Intelligence, a fusion of machine and the brightest organic minds of Kree history, followed as a king and worshiped as a god. The Kree’s fiercest battles have been against the shapeshifting Skrulls, with whom they’ve been at war for hundreds of thousands of years. Yet other threats abound.
Today, in the Helgentar system, the threat is the Brood - an all-consuming plague of insectoids that traverse space to find hosts for their spawn. Already, the casualties on planet Helgentar Alpha IV are catastrophic. The imperial militiamen tasked with eliminating this threat are the “Lunatic Legion,” an elite chapter known for unconventional warfare led by Admiral Galen-Kor. But these exterminators find more than they anticipated…
Their scans show that the Brood is engaged in battle with a massive, green humanoid - one that is absolutely brimming with gamma radiation. How this “Hulk” got to the planet is completely unknown, but it’s virtually unheard of for any singular being to be able to stand against a Brood rush like this.
Thus, Galen-Kor formulates a plan.
They’re going to conscript this Hulk into the Imperial Militia… or kill him along with the invading bugs! For the Supremor!

'MUTANT WAR' Part 3 'TORONTO RAPTORS'
•Polaron beams from orbit blast the arctic tundra outside Aujuittuq in northern Canada, disintegrating a large section of the place that never thaws. Once excess radiation dissipated, the alien DEATHBIRDS OF PREY teleported down via warp-wave, and two Shi'ar Death Commandos led their human mutant-Shi'ar hybrid slaves to confirm the destruction of the threat predicted by royal priests.
•Polarons don't behave quite the same way near absolute zero, and are easily deflected. The locals called him ᐊᐃᔅᒪᓐ but CYCLOPS & PHOENIX realized he was an errant ice golem created by ICEMAN which thought it was the real thing. Its attempts to convert its sentient ice to flesh failed, and it realized the truth thanks to Jean's telepathy. In its last moments, it sacrificed itself to save the pair and their unborn child, and the lovers won't let its death be in vain. They would hunt their hunters!
•Cyclops couldn't help thinking haemopyric ADAM-X looked oddly familiar once the young man and teleporting surfer SLIPSTREAM lay unconscious on the snow.
•Reactive adapter LIFEGUARD's telepathic defenses were difficult but Phoenix broke through, sending the woman to sleep.
•With the fodder dealt with, Cyclops faced winged DEATHBIRD in bloody combat while Phoenix was shocked as KORVUS knelt and offered her his Phoenix Blade. She had felt this power before when the cosmic entity put her back in her proper body after a disastrous encounter with a demon-mutant. The fraction of a sliver of the Phoenix Force within the sword offered its aid in protecting her family. Will Jean accept it?

AMAZING FANTASY #47 (STAR TREK: AVENGER #3) (This is the final issue of my Star Trek arc! I hope you all enjoyed it. I tried to use elements from all iterations of Trek, to answer some lingering questions, and to resolve some paradoxes!)
BLACK PANTHER: #1 (Ultimate AOM lives on! Auspicious relaunch!)
VALIANT CAPTAIN AMERICA #63 (man, I really loved the initial Valiant relaunch from ~2012. Such great characters!)
E⨂CELSIOR #13 (I hate it when people drive in my temporal blind spot)
HAWKEYE AND SPIDER-WOMAN #27 (symbiotes always time traveling too!)
HULK IN SPACE #1 (marvel cosmic never gets enough attention!)
THE INITIATIVE #2 (damn this is awesome. Opposing teams led respectively by US Agent and Nuke? Love it! We should do a cross-over!)
OGHT (Original Gangster Human Torch): Jim Hammond…Commie Smasher! #4 (a song and an epic commie threat? Must read!)
THE MIGHTY THOR #63 (dark elves never get the proper respect - until now!)
SILVER SURFER #7 (SS in the Nova Matrix!)
UNCANNY ⨂-MEN #62 (ᐊᐃᔅᒪᓐ should come back to life via magical top hat)
VENOM: AGENT OF SHIELD #14 (Iron Soldier sounds cool!)
X-MEN: RED & SILVER #2 (when your own organization turns on you!)

[CaptCleghorn]

The books rock. Buy them all. ALL, I decree!!

ACADEMY X #3 (Heads you win, tails I lose, got it.)
ADAM WARLOCK #7 (OK, so I will gladly pay you two weeks before last Tuesday for a Time Gem today?)
AGENTS OF A.R.C.A.N.A. #62 (It would have really sucked if Steve was watching Interstellar while waiting.)
AMAZING FANTASY #47 (I love these throw everything in and hit puree type stories. Well done!)
BLACK PANTHER: #1 (If Moses Magnum is related to Thomas Magnum, please make it the Tom Selleck version.)
VALIANT CAPTAIN AMERICA #63 (I'd vote for a Kraken, just to hear the call "Release the POTUS!")
E⨂CELSIOR #13 (The feathers are back, baby.)
HAWKEYE AND SPIDER-WOMAN #27 (Don't grandparents let grandkids get away from anything? I mean, I know these are comic books, but soft grandparents are the true universal constant.)
HULK IN SPACE #1 (I don't think anyone has ever tried to draft the Hulk.)
THE INITIATIVE #2 (Hmmm, infant in a rocket landing in a Kansas cornfield. Everything I've ever read, saw on the movies or TV, or seen on Broadway says intellectual property fortune. Get that baby!)
OGHT (Original Gangster Human Torch): Jim Hammond…Commie Smasher! #4 (There is a song and it will be posted as soon as I finish blogging my purchases.)
THE MIGHTY THOR #63 (You know, if your child remains kidnapped after their age of maturity, the kidnappers are responsible for both college and wedding expenses. True. Read AOM Law, coming this summer)
SILVER SURFER #7 (Old School Stan Lee Title, Book of the Month!)
UNCANNY ⨂-MEN #62 (If you walk into a Toronto bar and yell "Leafs Suck!", someone will probably buy you a beer. yell "Leafs Rock!" and another probably beer. Say you don't care about hockey and you won't get out in one piece.)
VENOM: AGENT OF SHIELD #14 (If Venom does not try the "I lie." trick from Jim Kirk, I will be very sad. see I made a sad face)
X-MEN: RED & SILVER #2 ("You mean you were serious about the first team you had that turned evil?")

OK, this song (which ids the inspiration to the final issue of OGHT) needs a couple of explanatory details. One, this song was considerably bigger in the eighties when there was an actual USSR. Crowd reaction was considerably bigger then. Second, he is James Taylor's brother.

Vintage classic. Just needs a flying guy on fire to complete the stage show!
