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.

As the son of Reverend Park, leader of the Glorification Church, he’s not used to being embarrassed.

•On Earth, Doctor Strange sits in his Sanctum Sanctorum, waiting for...
• The Eye of Agamotto pierces the time loop, allowing Stephen Strange's astral form to see.
•...the ghosteward to arrive with his favourite hot Da Hong Pao.
•The cold tea sits on the table before him where his physical form has been reliving the same moments of boredom, according to the grandmother clock, for the past eight hours. His sanctum sanctorum has been carefully searched but the smallest signs of manual or magical perusal are revealed under Agamotto's merciless gaze. His most heavily warded artifacts remain untouched but the intruders worked through the more accessible tomes and scrolls to cross-reference and collate information about... eschatonic scission! Duplicating, splitting, and banishing a timeline is one of the most difficult and powerful spells in existence; a spell Strange and his fellow Agents of A.R.C.A.N.A. cast weeks ago to save this Earth from insane Outer Gods. His heart grows colder when he realizes the intruders weren't looking to cast the spell. They were researching how to undo it.
•And in Limbo... The DARKCHYLDE sits on a throne made from the bones and screams of would-be usurpers, her thoughts spiraling from one vanquished enemy to another as she relives their slaughter in visceral detail. Her life and her enemies' deaths are but a dream, a nightmare from which MAGIK's twin cannot wake.

He calls a meeting with the heads of the Hatute Zeraze and the Dora Milaje. He tells Akili and Okoye to secure the return of all Wakandan citizens in foreign lands back to the homeland by any means necessary!
He turns to tells Shuri and tells her to gather W'Kabi and the Wakandan Council for a special session when he returns.

They tried to imprison him, but he refused to be stopped! Freed from the Kraken’s clutches with help from Rai, the Eternal Warrior, and the Timewalker (last ‘ish!), Captain America defies his enemies and rallies allies that HYDRA also despises!
Jack Boniface bonded with a Loa spirit to become the “Shadowman.” HYDRA has been persistently trying to eradicate him, deeming his religion primitive and backwards… but Cap understands how powerful Shadowman’s faith can make him!
Harbingers (also known as psiots), are this universe’s version of mutants - and “the Renegades” appear to be this universe’s version of the X-Men. Peter Stanchek, Faith, and Torque have been persecuted by HYDRA, who hates them for being unregulated and dangerous living weapons… but Cap wants to ensure they have the right to defend themselves!
And finally, Cap recruits a native from far off the grid who refused to let federal authorities under the control of HYDRA into his idyllic “Lost Lands”! He is Turok: Dinosaur Hunter!
Faced with foes no single hero could withstand, Cap leads this assemblage of Valiant Age champions, and others, in an effort to beat back HYDRA and liberate their friends and fellows from the mind control that has made them accomplices to the Kraken’s takeover!

•SABRETOOTH's healing factor is pushed to the limit by QUICKSILVER's plagues even as the speedster flays skin from bone with every hypersonic touch. Can the brilliantly perverse mind of BEAST and the unstable psionic mind of TYPHOID MARY cure this PESTILENCE before Sabretooth goes extinct?

HULK IN SPACE #2
Plot by EXCITER
Written by MATT KINDT
Art by RON GARNEY
“O’ CAPTAIN… NOT MY CAPTAIN”
The Kree “Lunatic Legion” have exterminated all the Brood on Helgentar Alpha IV… with significant help from the Hulk! Leveraging bonds formed in combat, Admiral Galen-Kor offers Hulk membership in his imperial militiamen chapter - and, surprisingly, Hulk accepts! Hulk has an interest in protecting his new “battle buddy” Dor-Art, as well as a romance brewing between himself and the double-tough Kona Lor. Plus, he has no other way home!
Although Hulk was a stranger to the Lunatic Legion, he was well-known to the Supreme Intelligence. When it receives reports of the new recruit, it redirects the Lunatic Legion to a priority mission custom tailored to Hulk’s skills and experience…
The Skrulls have been at war with the Kree for countless millennia. Traditionally, neither side has been able to secure a significant advantage over the other… until now! The Skrulls have a new battlefield commander: Pitt’o Nili. Pitt’o’s former assignment was on Earth. Although ultimately thwarted, Pitt’o nonetheless spent months undergoing a procedure that allowed him to perfectly replicate, in mind and body, Captain America. Now he brings those skills to the Kree-Skrull front - and the Kree are being pushed back!
The Supreme Intelligence knows that the Hulk has fought both with and against Captain America and, therefore, The Hulk knows this new enemy better than any Kree. Accordingly, the Lunatic Legion’s new mission… is to terminate Pitt’o Nili with extreme prejudice!
Fighting Brood was one thing, but does Hulk want to embroil himself in this never-ending conflict? Might he be persuaded if he discovers that Pitt’o’s next target is Kree-Lar, home to over 50 billion Kree Imperial citizens - most of whom are civilians?

Janet wants something better for herself in this life and she believes that she can find it by joining The Initiative!
In Littletown Kansas, Freedom Force has arrived at the scene of an alien rocket that crashed into a cornfield. Inside the ship was an infant humanoid lifeform.

A few hundred yards away, American Eagle(Jason Strongbow) and Kimera(Monica Chang) are observing Freedom Force. That ship and whatever was in there must be important enough for Gyrich to send his A-team out to handle this. They need to find out what it is and how to stop HAMMER before they turn it into another one of their military assets. They contact Agent 13 and let her know that they are following Walker and his team to find out more.

Plot by EXCITER
Written by ALAN MOORE
Art by MIKE MIGNOLA
“DARK SIDE OF THE ELF”
Thor and Ares have journeyed to the dark world of Svartalfheim in an attempt to rescue Thor’s kidnapped daughter. Young Angerboda has been taken by Malekith to his Ebony Throne, a fortress protected by several dark elf clans. These clans, already formidable, have been transformed into nearly-unbeatable “Kursed” warriors. Thor and Ares, given their natural instincts, both thought a frontal assault would be the best strategy. They barely escaped with their lives… It is clear now that these two gods need help, and they find it in an unlikely place!
The Daughters of Døkkr - Illska and Sārga - want to lead Svartalfheim again. They ruled the Realm during the Götterdämmerung War, and did distasteful things to maintain that power - like entering a polyamorous marriage with Freyja’s son Balder the Brave (way back in AOM VALENTINE’S DAY SPECIAL #1!). Now, they want Thor, as King of Asgard, to annul that marriage - and instead bind them in unholy matrimony to their new mate: Kurse!
Algrim the Strong was once a loyal servant of Malekith - until the vile wizard betrayed him! Left for dead, Algrim survived and was discovered by a Beyonder. That all-powerful being transformed him! Algrim became the nearly unstoppable “Kurse.” But the treacherous Malekith would never cease his vexations, stealing and corrupting Kurse’s gifts! This affront will not stand! Kurse will take everything from Malekith: his throne… and his life!
To get his daughter back, will Thor help facilitate a dark elf coup d'état? Will doing so violate the treaty that Asgard signed at the end of the Götterdämmerung War that granted independence to the Nine Realms?

Cover for XMR&S #3!

[CaptCleghorn]

Buyest them all. All the books shall be boughted!

ACADEMY X #4 (Make it a future Super Bowl so you can predict a half time score and be famous forever more.)
AGENTS OF A.R.C.A.N.A. #63 (Stories like this require attention to detail and can't just fill it in with a big fight scene. I look forward to this.)
AMAZING FANTASY #48 (The story was originally called The Blessings of Hell but I couldn't do the 007 thing with only one O.)
BLACK PANTHER #2 (Are Michelle Winzer and Jill Krichard the character finds of 2024? Can I ship them?)
VALIANT CAPTAIN AMERICA #64 (I want an omnibus collection of the complete Frontlines Op-Eds by Sally Floyd.)
E⨂CELSIOR #14 (Forget chess, Apocalypse and Magneto need to find partners and play Double Bughouse. Google it.)
F² Ω (In which we see Jenn complain about doing all the heavy lifting while Wyatt, Nadia, and Hank wonder why there's any question about it.)
HULK IN SPACE #2 (Romance? Might the next story be ... "Hulk In Love!")
THE INITIATIVE #3 (Underdog heroes with something to prove. And with Marvstyle.)
THE INVINCIBLE IRON MAN #1 (There is an original German version of this issue, right?)
THE MIGHTY THOR #64 (Døkkr Sārga Götterdämmerung We should have a coup d'état against all those accented letter. Oh, coup d'état? Never mind.)
X-MEN: RED & SILVER #3 (Why did it take me so long to get X-Men RED on Mars?)
UNCANNY ⨂-MEN #63 (I know what Scott and Jean feel. I'm waiting on an April 6-8 or 1-2, damned if we know snow prediction myself.)
VENOM: AGENT OF SHIELD COLLECTED EDITION *Prelude to BLACK METAL* (There's a Certificate of Authenticity, right?)

[FFJamie94]

ACADEMY X #4 —
AGENTS OF A.R.C.A.N.A. #63 — good for her!
BLACK PANTHER #2
VALIANT CAPTAIN AMERICA #64 — poor Cap just keeps getting stuck out of our era
E⨂CELSIOR #14 — if only Zaladane was here!
F² Ω — end of an era!
THE INVINCIBLE IRON MAN #1 — I guess Red Widow figured out how to solve a problem like Maria.
THE MIGHTY THOR #64 — I’m all for ethical polyamory, but this doesn’t sound like it qualifies…
X-MEN: RED & SILVER #3 — did I do all of this to homage the typo for Mars in House of X #1? I’ll never tell.
UNCANNY ⨂-MEN #63 — see next month’s X-Men Red and Silver finale for how they got here!
VENOM: AGENT OF SHIELD COLLECTED EDITION *Prelude to BLACK METAL* — thanks for doing the wiki work for me here!
