CORPORATE AVENGERS #3 ***Limited Series***
Written by CHIP ZDARSKY
Plot by EXCITER
Art by SKOTTIE YOUNG
“THERE'S NO LIMITED LIABILITY ON REVENGE”
Be transformed into a superhero and make millions as a company spokesperson. Why wouldn't ex-Guardsman Samuel "Ramshot" Caulkin agree to that? Unfortunately for him, it was too good to be true. After months of agonizing gene therapy, Samuel gained the proportionate strength and agility of a camel, a massive hump that allowed him to go weeks without water, and the ability to comfortably endure extreme temperatures. He was... Joe Camel! But things didn't go as "smooth" as his tagline implied. Before the Corporate Avengers Initiative finalized their Super Team, the others decided that they didn't want to be associated with a tobacco company. Joe Camel was out, destitute, and as an anthropomorphic camel, had limited prospects for getting normal work. He was left with only one thing - a burning desire for revenge! The big corporations would pay, and he'd recruit other Super Team rejects to help him! Arnim Zola's creation, the non-human bioform called Doughboy, was literally molded by Pillsbury into the adorable "Poppin' Fresh" - but he killed a man who poked him in the tummy. Melf, nicknamed the "Elf with a Gun," was a great "Ernie Keebler" before he, unsurprisingly, shot several bystanders. The Rubber People, sentient rubber containers spawned from the imagination of reality-warper Jimmy Jupiter, were perfect mascots for Rubbermaid - before it was revealed that they were fascists! Now they're all about to kill every corporation hiding assets in Panama - unless Colonel Sanders (Mac MacKenzie), the Google Android (Titanium Man), Erin Esurance (Lady Punisher), Tony the Tiger (Man-Eater), #Twitter (Red Raven), the Energizer Bunny (Blackjack O'Hare), and Spuds MacKenzie (Thori the Hel Hound) can stop them!

“YOU'RE NO GOOD TO ME DEADPOOL” Part Three “DEADSPACE”
If you've been following along, you probably know that right now the score is Boba Fett: 2, Deadpool: 0. But like Comedy Central's "At Midnight," only the final round matters! Last issue, Fett injured most of my Thunderbolts teammates then busted out the carbonite to freeze Starscream, Sasha Hammer, and their in utero hybrid baby (gas/electric/milk). With his bounty secured, ol' Buckethead peaced out from planet Earth - but I never leave a man or woman or alien robot thing behind! I'm calling in favors, and Colonel John Jameson, commander of the U.S.S. Excelsior, owes me one for making sure he wasn't "fixed" when he devolved into a feral cosmic werewolf (don't ask). Set phasers to overkill, Deadpool's going to space! But the pursuit does raise the question, who would pay Fett to abduct such a unique family unit? You probably guessed - it's the galaxy's most infamous hoarder - Benecio Del Toro, a.k.a. the Collector!! (Loved him in "Sicario"). Time to kick some cosmic entity ass! But crap, this guy is an obsessive completist - turns out, he wants both America's first intergalactic starship and Canada's greatest regeneratin' degenerate for his collection too! But does the Collector also want the galaxy's most prolific bounty hunter and the only pristine clone of Jango Fett not damaged by artificial aging? Turns out, he does! And you know what that means... UNLIKELY TEAM-UP!!!

“WHAT REPTILIAN EYES YOU HAVE” Part One “THEY'RE WITH HER”
The People's Republic of Hydra is a sovereign nation, recognized by the U.N., with a booming central city and an ambitious intergalactic space program. HYDRA has come a long way since the period after World War II, when it emerged as the world's premiere super-terrorist organization. But HYDRA's origin goes back so much farther, to a time and a holy crusade that its current leadership has forgotten...
It began as the primordial Snake Cult, a twisted religious sect lead by the Serpent Men - reptilian descendants of the many-headed Elder God, Set. The Cult's first effort to covertly infiltrate and dominate human society was foiled in the Hyborian Age by Conan and a time-displaced Captain America (see Conan the Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. #1-4)... but they never gave up. For millennia they have hidden themselves among mankind, assuming positions of power. Yet, their grandest charade has just failed. Hank McCoy recently secured the 2016 Democratic nomination for President of the United States. That means that secret Serpent Woman Hillary Clinton did not, and decades of manipulation and scheming were wasted! This pushes the Serpents into a dangerous corner. If they can't take America, then they'll take the nation forged from their legacy - the People's Republic of Hydra!!! When Hillary attempts to use her influence to persuade Nick Fury to lead Hawkeye, Black Widow, and the other Secret Avengers on a covert mission to dethrone Hydra Commander that could cause an international incident possibly leading to World War III, will Fury follow orders - or will he see that she speaks with a proverbial (and in her true form, literal) forked tongue?

Begrudgingly, Sharp realizes that he truly is the only one who can resist Ogun's possession and accepts the responsibility - but Ogun himself has other plans and isn't about to allow the mask that hosts his spirit to leave the face of the Hand's new leader, Storm Shadow! In fact, he's been hard at work crafting other demonic masks to host the forlorn spirits of the Hand's most malevolent and lethal fallen ninjas from decades and centuries past! His goal is to literally turn his enemies into allies... and he's prepared to risk Storm Shadow's life to ensure he succeeds! Is there any way for Snake Eyes to avoid being possessed and liberate the Hand from Ogun without killing his sword-brother?
Meanwhile, Scarlett's hacking skills have allowed her to pinpoint the location of Gregory Stark for the first time since he went underground. But instead of telling her lover Snake Eyes, she decides to confront the man that scarred him herself. Soon it's just Scarlett, a specialized crossbow, and Gregory in Gregory's isolated bunker. Will she choose revenge or justice?

The Agents of SHIELD have returned to their own Earth following the saving of an old one and the team are immediately put to the test when their appearance through a gap between realities interrupts a HYDRA meeting. Only Fitz and Simmons remain suspicious of the gap between reality and wonder what consequences it could cause if it opened further, so decide to remain behind in Turkey to investigate it. Jason Bourne however must work to adapt in a world that is not his own, having been pulled through the gap with Daisy and the rest of Team SHIELD, Robert Gonzalez and Kate Lethbridge-Stewart. The good news is that Grant Ward may be left behind, meaning that the team have one less enemy to face. The bad news – whilst they are able to capture three important HYDRA figures they can only hold the head of HYDRA Divisions captive whilst the other two can prove their innocence. The question is though – who is the real head of HYDRA’s Division X? Coulson has to make a judgement call that if he gets wrong could have dramatic consequences for the rest of the Marvel Universe.

However unknown to Mystique, Trask is plotting to launch an ambitious Sentinel Program and is cruel enough to use his daughter as bait to lure Mystique into his trap! But Trask didn’t count on her allies, and the fact that March and his reluctant ally Ealy may not be “The World’s Worst Private Detectives”, after all.
And meanwhile, Moria McTaggert brings in Professor Xavier to a top-secret CIA Facility where it is revealed that they have captured a Russian mutant, who is close to the upper ranks of the Russian Government. Xavier realizes that this mutant, Ladinov Rozicky, may be the perfect bargaining chip as part of a trade between him and a fellow captured American mutant, Francis Stewart. But Xavier must go alone to East Berlin to facilitate the exchange.

Plot by MCGAFFER
Art by NEAL ADAMS
King Bishop, First Lord of the Shining City is not taking his world being cast into the void easily! The Blindfold Zodiac were so concerned with stopping the disruption from one Earth they forgot about what may come from the myriad other earth's! Bishop, imprisoned and used as a human battery to perpetually power an entire City after a nuclear war! His captivity was designed so that he would protect the City from absorbing the fallout and power out. Not one of his captors factored on the populace that came to the City for salvation starting to worship him! They would come dying of radiation sickness and they would use their machines to have Bishop cure them. Bishop knows Shi'ar technology when he see's it. When the revolution happened it was nothing to use that technology to create a suit helping him to contain the masses of energy and become a literal God! Now someone seeks to simply cast him into darkness! This will not stand, a God does not fall quietly...
