Theme Song: The Auctioneer Song, Leroy Vandyke 
Captain America finds himself back on Earth after a long and torturous year – first in space, and then he’s had to do WW2 all over again. Now arriving back to his own timeline through the Rift in Cardiff, he finds himself instantly surrounded by not four, but five major powers who want him back in the game, batting for their team. Two splinter factions of SHIELD, HYDRA, TORCHWOOD and UNIT. He’s going to say no to all of them, right? Steve’s place is with the Avengers, of course? However, when a sixth party enters the game, and kidnaps Steve right under Captain Jack Harkness’ nose, things are about to get real interesting. Because they may have captured Captain America – doesn’t mean that they’ve put him down for good, and they're prepared to sell him to the highest bidder in an auction that will decide who has the official ownership of one of the world's strongest superheroes! An auction this big is bound to draw the attention of both friend and foe, and Captain Jack Harkness may have to come up with a rather... unorthadox attempt to rescue his friend.

"Stark Incarcerated" (Part 1 of 3)
Inside the Maximum Security Prison for Meta-Human Criminals, known as The Vault: Inmate TS616, formerly known on the outside as Tony Stark aka Iron Man. The only suit he owns now is bright orange, equipped with an anklet destabilizing any super powers an inmate may have. A product of Hammer Technologies. A hard fought contract but it isn't as if they didn't have the inside edge seeing as one of their own happens to be this institution's Warden - Justine Hammer!
Tony is introduced to his cell. If you thought being an ex-Avenger stuck inside a facility filled with former enemies you helped put in here, or having to be a subserviant liege to a fierce business rival was bad enough...meet your new bunkmate - Anton Vanko!
90 minutes a day in "The Yard" for physical activity. This is where Tony is taught the heirachy within the adamantium laced walls. The Corrupter runs the show with his henchmen Powderkeg and Ghost. And it looks like Tony has become their latest target. He isn't going to get much help in these parts, that is until Vanko steps in to save his neck....with a catch, of course.
"Stark, you're the only one here with the intelligence to help me. You busted out of a cave once. I read. You're gonna help me bust out of this godforsaken place!"
"Why would I do that? We hate eachother, remember?"
"Because (A) I just saved your neck. If you hadn't realized, everyone in here wants to gut you, so you need me. (B) You don't want to be in here anymore than I do. And (C) the people that put you here, that messed with your mind. They came to us at AIM first. You help me get out of here and once we are outside, I'll give you their name." (dun dun dun)
Meanwhile, in New York City: Pepper Potts walks into the office of Dakota North, Private Investigator. "I need you to find out what happened to Tony these past few months. I know him.. He did not do this, not of his own mind. Please Dakota. I need answers. I need to clear his name. We have to get him out of that prison and the hell he has brought upon us all."
In Chicago: Reconstruction has begun, rebuilding Stark Tower and the damaged city itself following the Battle of Chicago, where Tony Stark and the Avengers stopped Project Mayhem's (and their mini quinjets) attack on the financial district. Volunteers dig through the rubble. One particualr group all seem to be wearing matching black hoodies with a logo that reads "Rising Tide." And they just happened to have found what they were looking for, Iron Man's battle damaged helmet, which seems to be trying to communicate something...."I am Jarvis. I am Tyler Durden. I am Jarvis. I am Tyler Durden......" To Be Continued!
Joining series writer Brian K. Vaughan for STARK INCARCERATED are legendary artist David Mazzucchelli (Batman: Year One, Daredevil: Born Again) and True Detective scribe Nic Pizzolatto, as this criminally talented trio takes you deep inside Tony Stark's new world, literally and metaphorically.

“THE SNAKE BENEATH THE SKIN” Part Three “SACRIFICE THE FUTURE” 
The black sands of arid Stygia were harsh and full or perils, not the least of which was the insidious Snake Cult that had slithered its way into control of the region. A theocracy ruled by the priests of Set, their high priest was the malevolent sorcerer Thoth-Amon. Upon his head sat the Cobra Crown, the fabled artifact Conan and his band of mercenaries were hired to claim for the Brotherhood of the Shield. Impossible to take directly, the task required subterfuge. But when the would-be thieves disguise themselves and infiltrate Thoth-Amon's black mass, the sorcerer reveals that he has captured certain enemies and aberrations that would be ritualistically slaughtered as sacrifices to Set and his demigod son, Damballah. The sacrificial offerings: every member of the Brotherhood of the Shield! The Shield-Bearer, founder of the nascent Brotherhood, is heralded by Thoth-Amon as the greatest sacrifice at all, given that the Cobra Crown has revealed the Shield-Bearer as a man lost in time... a man that was once and in the far future would be known as Captain America! Can Conan stand idly by and watch this slaughter, or will he incur the wrath of the dark Elder God?

“A HISTORY OF NINJA VIOLENCE”
***HYDRA-COBRA WAR Tie-In***
As the Hand and the Arashikage ninja clans battle it out for their respective sides in the HYDRA-COBRA War, experience the true origins of their rivalry - which dates back to 14th century feudal Japan!
Legend speaks of a mighty Emperor who appointed his most capable general to protect treasure blessed by Hachiman (八幡神), the god of war. The general did such a good job and the treasure was so well concealed that its location was lost with the ascendancy of subsequent emperors, and the general's family would evolve into the elsuive Arashikage. For generations, the Arashikage worked as ninja (忍者), developing a reputation for being able to perform impossible tasks. At some time in the 16th century, the clan was corrupted by worship of a demon known as the Beast (野獣), who imparted his adherents with dark magic. Both the Silent Master and the Hard Master, leaders of the Arashikage and predecessors to Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow respectively, rejected these dark practices and attempted to exile their practitioners. It did not go smoothly. This is the story of the bloody genesis of the Hand! Find out why what happened so long ago is still causing ninja violence today!

Well when it started to look like Megs was going to lose, one of his Decepticon cronies switched sides. In exchange for valuable intel, he's been given a spot on our supervised super-villain work release program. Meet our newest teammate - Starscream! Juggernaut and Ghost seem to hate him, but "Detroit Steel" Sasha Hammer experiences a different and uncharacteristic emotion... love??? How will the new team dynamic play out on our next mission - a seek and destroy (and oh yeah, rescue) into America's heartland, where Andreas Von Strucker and HYDRA have turned local good ol' boys bad, given them Asgardian weapons (how'd they get those anyway? I always get outbid on eBay), and set them on a mission to tear down the federal "govmint" one tax-collector at a time! Wait a minute, we have to defend the IRS? I thought we were the good guys...

Meanwhile, Peter Parker adjusts to new life working as a consultant for the FBI, where keeping his identity secret will be harder than he could ever have imagined, because of course, Red knows his identity already, and the only reason Spider-Man hasn't been exposed along with Daredevil is that Red has decided that his identity is best kept hidden. As both Peter and Red begin to tackle their first case on Red's Blacklist, a mysterious man known as Arcane, Peter learns of a few benefits of working with the FBI - namely the luxurious new apartment near their Blacksite! However, Peter's new roomate may be just as secretive as his new co-worker - IZOMBIE's Liv Moore, who just so happens to be a zombie, with her own powers to access memories and personalities of the recently deceased, seconds after eating their brains.
