Plot by NX01A

Theme Song: Flo Rida ft. David Guetta - Club Can't Handle Me

“FLORIDA MAN”

•Jesus-fueled property damage. Shirtless arson. Drunken mass murder. Incestuous extraplanar portals. There are few things that men in Florida won't do. The question is: Why?! ELSA BLOODSTONE believes the phenomenon is due to demonic possession. With her new arcana-erasing Soul Sword, MAGIK is eager to perform forceful exorcisms, especially after she used it to banish BLACKHEART in Paris.

•While DOCTOR VOODOO and MAN-THING try to stop one Florida Man from performing a live streamed bestiality-driven summoning, Elsa and Magik track another Florida Man intent on turning his fast food customers into zombies by lacing their burgers with synthetic cathinone bath salts so they will eat his brains.

•And has AGATHA HARKNESS found the heart of darkness in the Florida Woman holding a preschool hostage by reciting Coldplay lyrics backwards, thereby inadvertently incanting some of the most vile spells from the Book of Sins: the Darkhold?

“THE MAN THAT TIME FORGOT” PART 1

Deep in the Savage Land, T'Challa, W'Kabi and Ka-Zar have found the exiled Inhuman Karnak but they've also found something that is very disturbing! Someone or something has turned once gentle dinosaurs and tribespeople into savage killing machines! Karnak was tracking one of the tribesman, hoping that he would lead him to answers! Now working together, the four of them have found a strange ship of unknown origin, cloaked from ordinary eyes but not from T'Challa or Ka-Zar. Using stealth, they begin to approach the vessel when suddenly it opens and from it emerges a humanoid figure easily 10 feet tall with sinewy features and a large head. And behind him, savage creatures that were once human. He leads them to an area where frightened men, women and children are being kept as prey for the newly-created monsters that were once like them. They are nothing but pawns in an experiment, all for the amusement of a being called... The Six Million Year Old Man! Next issue: Evolve or Die!

CAPTAIN AMERICA #5

Plot by EXCITER

Written by FRANK MILLER

Art by SEAN GORDON MURPHY

“GENERATIONAL CONFLICT”

Congresswoman Roja-Oñederra continues to indoctrinate her newly hand-picked Captain America, the young America Chavez, in the philosophies of her secret master - the Soviet super-soldier Omega Red! Chavez readily absorbs messages about how the Soviet Union embraced racial and gender equality while the U.S. denied civil rights to women and minorities. Soon, she will be a true believer. But first, Omega Red demands a test...

A protest against Roja-Oñederra’s far-left policy proposals has sprung up in Brooklyn Heights and Chavez is tasked with silencing their “hate-speech” by any means necessary! Yet when the confrontation inevitably turns violent, the shield of Steve Rogers is there to defend the right to peacefully assemble! In this confrontation between Captain Americas, she says he’s no longer suited to wear the colors as a cis white male, a tool of the patriarchy, now defending “literal” nazis. He responds. “Ma’am, I’ve fought literal nazis... and these people aren’t them!” But mere peak-human Steve Rogers is dramatically outgunned in this fight by the flying, super-strong and hyper-fast Fuertonan from the Utopian Parallel. He’s got to find a way to deescalate the situation because, even if Chavez won’t act on “the will of the proletariat” and finish him... Omega Red will!

Meanwhile, Agent Mockingbird follows a lead on the mysterious George Tarleton who may be responsible for the disappearance of several geniuses from their respective big corporations. But when she encounters a high-tech soldier in yellow and black, will she discover that she’s been “A.I.M.ed” in the wrong direction?

Plus: A Frontlines Op-Ed by Sally Floyd, “Make O\*N\*E\* the Loneliest Agency: Why we Must Defund the Office of National Emergency.”

"THE VISITOR”

A rupture in space and time has brought an alien robot to the Enforcers' doorstep. Or rather, their basement.

And what it tells them could change history as they know it.

Dominic Fortune digs deeper into his investigation and uncovers a spy ring with roots in the missing colony of Roanoke.

The most baffling part of the discovery is that it isn't affiliated with any known country or nation.

Could there be an unseen nation that's been hiding all this time?

THE MIGHTY THOR #5

Plot by EXCITER

Written by ALAN MOORE

Art by MIKE MIGNOLA

“CONGRESS WITH SERPENTS”

The Congress of Worlds: an assembly of representatives joined to resolve issues of and between the Nine Realms. Today a representative from Midgard speaks. Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross, an esteemed military leader from the realm’s most powerful nation, the United States of America, demands that Asgard extradite a criminal most foul. Bruce Banner, a.k.a. the Hulk, wrought untold destruction on Midgard and now Midgard seeks justice and retribution. Odin, however, knows the Hulk’s actions were due to the curse of the In-Betweener. The All-Father absolved the Hulk of crimes related to a similar rampage on Vanaheim and would deny Ross’ request - but what say the speakers of the other realms? To ignore their voice again may be folly, as Odin’s ever-spying ravens have already whispered to him regarding rumors of discontent with his rule...

Meanwhile, the Sons of Odin arrive in Alfheim. Thor, Loki, and Balder have been sent at the request of the Queen of the Light Elves to investigate stirrings of the Jormungandi, a snake-like race descended from the enormous Midgard Serpent once prophesied to kill Thor during Ragnarök. The God of Thunder, never one to passively accept fate, ensured that prophecy would never come to fruition by slaying the monstrous wyrm centuries ago. The beast’s spawn, however, escaped to the woodlands of Alfheim where they’ve naught been much trouble - until now. It seems they have an aggressive new cold-blooded leader who aims to see the old prophecy fulfilled. And his name... is Fin Fang Foom!

Plus, the revelry after the Rock Trolls were granted a new homeland may have borne unexpected fruit. Lady Sif... is with child!

OLD MOON CRONE #5

Written by AMY REEDER

Plot by CAPTCLEGHORN

Art by VERONICA FISH

“ROUTE 66, EXIT 3: OKLAHOMA, KO”

Theme song: Susan Herndon - "The Bad Roads of Oklahoma”

The Wonderous Whiz Wagon and its three passengers, Lunella, the Recorder and Killraven continue their journey across what remains of the United States in the far future. The sparse landscape and flat terrain make travelling somewhat easier, but this wouldn’t be a superhero comic without problems, amirite?

The assorted Native American tribes that have reclaimed the middle areas of the continent have allowed our heroes passage, but that permission is capable of disappearing at anytime. The problem is the current inhabitants of middle America hate technology and because there is little in this area the Badoon want, the Native Americans are free to return to a simpler life. The 22nd century marvel of the whiz wagon and an alien built android data repository won’t go over well here.

When faced with a problem where there is no obvious solution, a tactic is to go back to first principles. In order to keep the citizens of this new land happy, Lunella agrees to build them creations and devices to make their lives easier using only simple machines as the Greeks defined them. To Lunella’s advantage Val’s voice in her head has intimate knowledge of the Keewasi tribe and if all goes well…

Welcome to the halfway point.
