    "Being Tony Stark" 2 of 2
    FEATURING JAMES BOND!
    Even though he's in building across the street, he's already several moves ahead of his target. It is game of chess, but his opponent will think it's a game of cat and mouse. There are 2 Tony Starks in the penthouse across the street, they are identical and both are targets. However, this time he only wants the "Spymaster". James Bond has had them under surveillance for weeks. A sudden transit into the location by Q designed short range wingsuit is the best option for a sudden and stealth assault. He knows Iron Man must not be a part of the equation and 007 knows 100 ways to incapacitate Stark, he chooses the most painful one after a snarky comment. Through the streets of New York City they have a car chase scene, but not like the movies as neither wants to draw attention. Spymaster and Bond know that one of them will not walk away from this confrontation. In a back alley, with silencers applied to their side-arms, Bond say his witty one-liner. Then for one of them it ends and for the other it's over.

    TOMORROW’S WAR ACT 2: PART 1 “THE ARTIFICIAL AGE” – ***GUEST STARRING MELINDA MAY & FITZSIMMONS!***
    DAREDEVIL vs. SHIELD! Decima Agents have infiltrated SHIELD and turned them against the Man Without Fear! Now he has to escape the Helicarrier – which is going to be difficult when it’s currently in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean! With Fury absent – Daredevil’s only help at getting off the Helicarrier may have just arrived in the form of the “Calvary,” Melinda May – and two scientists, the pair known as FitzSimmons.
    Meanwhile, on the ground, the Punisher’s HQ comes under attack from SHIELD Agents working under Decima’s Orders! Can Finch and Castle escape from the wrath of a Decima-controlled SHIELD – or - will the Dawn of the Artificial Age begin with their capture?

    TOMORROW’S WAR ACT 2: PART 2 “THE OLD GODS” ***GUEST STARRING MELINDA MAY & FITZSIMMONS!***
    Frank Castle and Harold Finch have been captured by Decima Agents – and are now forced into a meeting with John Greer – who is the man behind the scenes, controlling all the stakes. Greer wants Finch to accept his ultimatum and join him – or one by one, every superhero will have their identities exposed to the known world. That won’t be a problem for people like Tony Stark – whose identities are public knowledge – but for people like Spider-Man, who have a family and friends their identity is protecting - it’s another matter.
    However, Finch is a smart man – and has thought of a backup plan! Decima’s Agents all wear masks of their own – so that makes the perfect cover for Luke Cage and Anya Corazon to sneak into Greer’s HQ – right under the nose of the man who currently has all the cards.
    Meanwhile – Daredevil, Melinda May and FitzSimmons race against the odds to stop Samaritan from going online in New York – but first, they’ll have to fight their way to the top of the Empire State Building – which is swarmed with both rogue SHIELD Agents and those who openly support Decima!

    Harold Finch has been taken via Quinjet to the top of the Empire State Building as the only person who can stop Samaritan from going online in the dramatic conclusion to this summer’s epic event! However – can even Finch stop Samaritan for good, or just delay its release?
    Meanwhile, Melinda May, Anya Corazon, Luke Cage and The Punisher have to stall for time against an army that outnumbers them almost seven hundred to one – as every SHIELD agent available and every Decima Mercenary converge on the Empire State Building – with or without knowledge of Decima’s true purpose – in an effort to hunt them down. Whilst this means that the group are going to eventually gain some allies in the form of Mockingbird and Nick Fury, they're still going to be vastly outnumbered and heavily outgunned. If they were to stop Samaritan however, things might take a different turn. There's just one problem. Finch has been shot, and lies bleeding, and heavily wounded. Before he looses consciousness he's going to have to talk FitzSimmons through the process, provided that they themselves can avoid attack from the massive army.
    But whilst this is all going on, someone's coming for John Greer. He has a press conference where he's about to announce a new era for humanity - with or without the aid of Samaritan, but first, he's going to have to avoid the wrath of Matt Murdock - The Man without Fear!

But when America traces the Delegate’s energy trail to New York City, she’ll have to watch her back…because she’s the next target for kidnapping by the sinister Decima organization! And this game of cat-and-mouse through the city streets will only intensify, as America is joined by Rita DeMara, Elsa Bloodstone, and Jessica Jones, a.k.a ALIAS INVESTIGATIONS, after Decima agents tried to get to Luke Cage through Jones and their baby! It’s a free-for-all brawl as the ladies team up to raise more than a little hell, and finally arrive at one of Decima’s underground locations…only to find the Decima’s multiversal energies being siphoned off to power the deadly Samaritan program…and Decima’s newest creation, the android RECORDER 451! And they’ll be in for the shock of their lives, as the director of the program steps forward: Marc Spector, otherwise known as MOON KNIGHT!

    “THE DECIMA RUN” Part 2 of 3 “ONLY THE BEST OF INTENTIONS” **A TOMORROW’S WAR TIE-IN!**
    It’s betrayal of the worst kind, as MOON KNIGHT stands before MS. AMERICA and ALIAS INVESTIGATIONS as an operative of the criminal Decima organization…only to reveal himself as an undercover operator, as he helps them dispatch a warehouse worth of Decima agents! The mistrust remains, though, with Moon Knight stating his true intentions of keeping the criminal names offered by the Samaritan program for himself! But morality discussions will have to wait…as Decima’s hyper-intelligent android RECORDER 451 goes online, and attempts to flee from our heroes, while more agents arrive! It’s a patchwork team divided as Ms. America attempts to disconnect the Utopian Delegate from the machine, Bloodstone, Yellowjacket, and Moon Knight pursue the Recorder, and Jessica Jones stands alone against a small army of enemy operatives! And when help arrives in the form of Gambit, Cloak, and Dagger, the SHADOWLANDERS, things will only get worse…because Recorder 451 has activated his 450 predecessors, while the Delegate’s multiversal energies begin to overheat!

    It’s the SHADOWLANDERS and ALIAS INVESTIGATIONS against Decima’s secret army of agents…and all 451 of their refined and cybernetically enhanced androids! And while Bloodstone brushes off Gambit’s advances between shooting robots in the head, and Cloak teleports off to help Ms. America handle the Delegate, one Shadowlander will have a singular goal in mind: Moon Knight has pursued Recorder 451, and plans to rip the Samaritan program out of it! But he’ll have to move fast…as Decima’s underground lair begins crumbling apart, with the Delegate’s multiversal energies becoming erratic and destructive! With no options left to save her fellow Utopian, Ms. America begins breaking up fights and collecting the heroes together, before it’s too late. And as Cloak shields everyone against the onslaught of energy and teleports them out of there, they’ll bear witness to a shocking sight: the Decima agents and Recorder robots flung across all of time and space itself! But there are bigger issues at hand when our heroes arrive at the Empire State Building…Jessica Jones standing shoulder-to-shoulder with her husband LUKE CAGE, Ms. America ready to pummel Decima into the ground, and an already victorious Moon Knight holding 20% of the Samaritan database!
    Follow MS. AMERICA, ALIAS INVESTIGATIONS, and the SHADOWLANDERS to the final fight in DAREDEVIL #12!

    “JUDGMENT IS A FOUR-LETTER WORD” Part 1 of 2 “FROM BEYOND THE GRAVE”
    After a brush with heroism (and a talking, surly duck named Howard), and weeks spent losing malpractice cases against him, Ralph finally catches a break…as his opposition and rival, the famous HARVEY BIRDMAN, and a dozen of his clients have gone missing! Yay? Except the police have their sights set on the Legal Eagle as their prime suspect, and he and the WRECKING CREW have just two hours before the police knock down the door of their beloved Bologna Barn (also, where they sleep)! But when noggins are put together instead of fists, the Crew can solve just about anything: the Wrecker’s magical crowbar reveals ancient forces at work, Thunderball’s science knowledge reveals a disturbing lack of evidence at the crime scenes, and Bulldozer suggests it’s a trap (and Piledriver…he’s wearing khakis this issue)! And when Bulldozer turns out to be correct, Ralph G. Fake will walk right into the middle of an ambush, by the seeker of justice for the dead and dying…Michael Hart, THE JUDGE!

With no options left Hobie sends an open message on all frequencies…to Josiah and Carlie, who have agreed to an alliance, to Rocket Racer and Frog-Man, saved from the wrath of Justin Hammer by their new boss Thomas Fireheart, to Lady Stilt-Man, eager to leave her hospital bed and see her best friend.
