It started as a joke. A mega-sized star in a far-off galaxy named Jeni because Tony Stark thought since it was 8,657,309 light years away, the name was fitting was heading towards a collapse. But the variations in the look of the star made it obvious that a gamma-ray burst was going to happen. A color study of the star’s elements as well as the star’s polar direction made it clear the burst was coming in less than 27 hours and it was headed straight for us. Richards, Stark, Pym, and many others all agreed that the outcome of the Extinction Level Event was inevitable. What would you do with only one more day?

'X OF WANDS' Part 1/4 'MINOR ARCANA'

•When BLACKHEART spawned dozens of half-human, half-demon toddlers with death touches, MAGIK reluctantly sent them to be raised in Limbo by her kidnapper, BELASCO, rather than have them loose on Earth or killed (Agents of A.R.C.A.N.A. #6-7). Time works differently in Limbo, and it turns out those toddlers are half-mutant, not toddlers anymore, and definitely not staying in Hell!

•S.H.I.E.L.D.'s new Wizardry Alchemy Necromancy Department has been informed by Belasco's infernal lawyer that the Limbo Lord intends another hostile takeover of Earth. Pursuant to the Hell Lord Accord 2020, champions from both planes must choose their warriors, weapons, and where duels will take place over the course of a single day to decide if the takeover will be successful. For some reason, W.A.N.D. wants AGATHA HARKNESS' help in choosing the warriors. Perhaps that has something to do with PROFESSOR X's subtle psionic suggestions. With mutant warriors selected by Agatha (and Charles) and wands chosen by Belasco, the first battle begins on the fiery plane of Gehenna!

•Tall, dark, and handsome KIMARIS wields his psionic energy whips, demonic death touch, and the Wand of Xyggondo against MAGIK and her stepping disks, Soul Sword, and the Wand of the Wise. Magik is weary of the Wand of Xyggondo since it was crafted by her ancestor, GRIGORI RASPUTIN, and his dark power still haunts the shaft. She is more weary of falling into the clutches of Belasco again... and she should be.

•The magic continues in UNCANNY X-MEN #25!

CAPTAIN AMERICA #25 \*One More Day Tie-In\*

Plot by EXCITER

Written by FRANK MILLER

Art by SEAN GORDON MURPHY

“TRUTH, EVEN IN THE FACE OF OBLIVION”

They say the world is about to end. It’s not an end you can stop by punching or throwing a shield. Captain America doesn’t appear able to stop it himself.

In Brooklyn Heights, Steve Rogers is with his closest friends. Friends that, through struggle and triumph alike, have become family.

Bucky Barnes. The Winter Soldier. 90 years of brotherhood. They say he’s a murderer, but Steve knows that’s a lie.

Natasha Romanoff. The Black Widow. They say she is and always was a Russian agent, but Steve knows that’s a lie.

America Chavez. Ms. America. They say the alien immigrant sold out by working with him, but Steve knows that’s a lie.

Bobbi Morse. Mockingbird. They say she’s blindly loyal, but Steve knows that’s a lie.

Johnny Irwin. Bonebreaker. They say the former Reaver is irredeemable, but Steve knows that’s a lie.

And they all hear that, before the world ends, their nemesis Omega Red and his army of thugs plans to topple “the ultimate symbol of America’s historical hypocrisy”: the Statue of Liberty. But Steve knows Omega Red’s beliefs are a lie, and that no matter what happens, Lady Liberty will not fall. He won’t let it.

It’s easy to stand up in good times, when the future seems certain. But it’s in the trying times, when nothing is certain, that standing up requires strength. Captain America will not give up, not even when others he respects have already quit. Not even when the majority tells him it’s hopeless. Not even when it looks like there is no way forward. Not now, not ever.

For the people gathered around him that he cares about. For the people worldwide that believe in him. Even for the people that hate him, even if they hate him more for it. Steve Rogers will not stop fighting for what’s right. Because they all tell him that it’s over... but Steve knows that’s a lie.

The fabulous FF that with only one more day,

“ONE DAY CAN BEND YOUR LIFE.”

Jeni had fired the shot 8,675,309 years ago and the Gamma Burst is just over 26 hours away, heading towards Earth at the speed of light. There’s no way to move the planet or to block the gamma blast, but Reed Richards and Bruce Banner have come up with an idea. Since gamma rays are part of the electro-magnetic spectrum like light is, could the earth be made invisible by someone who does stuff like that? And the answer is “sure, but…” Sue Storm’s powers are not potent enough to cover an entire planet nor can it reach that far down the spectrum outside the visible range. Luckily Dr. Doom has a machine which he will allow the FF to use, in return for a favor to be named later. The device will steal energy and bestow it into Sue’s body increasing her powers many times over. Will it work? Read the book, pilgrim.

Meanwhile, even at a ridiculous power boost, Sue doesn’t have much time and needs to not waste her energy so the FF go to the Moon to do this. The moon, being 236,000 miles from Earth will allow about a second and a quarter advance warning. Talk about last second saves, amirite?

Meanwhile, the Torch works to get the Pogo Plane ready for a flight to the moon and the Thing works to pilot it there and land safely while Reed is busy.

Also keep in mind that if the FF fails, being on the moon and protected from the gamma burst will save them, but they can’t live for long with only the Pogo Plane supplies. Alicia and Franklin also come along for the ride.

“THE ESCAPE”

After years in exile with the Asgardians, Dr. Bruce Banner only just moved back to Earth and assumed a leadership role at the newly established Fort Kirby. When contacted by the esteemed Reed Richards of the Fantastic Four, he thought he’d finally been accepted and was being requested for a classic superhero team-up. Turns out, it was just a scientific consultation due to Banner’s expertise in gamma radiation. In about one day, the Earth will be destroyed... by a gamma pulse. Talk about irony.

The plan Earth’s mightiest scientists concoct involves making gamma rays invisible on Earth. No gamma rays means no Hulk... maybe forever. If it works, the Hulk is as good as dead.

Bruce had dreamed about being free of the monster for years. Hulk turned his life into complete chaos. His career, his marriage... Hulk cost him everything.

And yet, when he needed him the most, Hulk was there. He defended. He avenged. He smashed those who needed smashing.

With time ticking away, Banner has two options. Stay. Maybe he and Hulk both die, but Hulk definitely dies. If Earth can be saved, he gets to return to normalcy - free to pursue his scientific dreams, free to have a family... free to get angry.

Or go. Leave the world he just came back to. Return to space and try and find a place to live with his other half.

What will he choose?

“TWILIGHT OF MIDGARD”

Before he ascended to kingship, Thor Odinson was long-regarded as the protector of Midgard. As a young god, he cared for its mortals. He never stopped caring, even during the painful events of “Civil War.” Now he learns that all life on Midgard may be eradicated. The realm has just one more day...

His first thoughts turn to evacuation, but how? And to where? The Asgardian Throne no longer controls the Nine Realms, to whom he granted Independence. He no longer has any power to order any Realm to accept the humans, nor would he be comfortable in unilaterally assigning such a burden. After all, it was Odin’s decision to house Troll refugees on Vanaheim that started the Götterdämmerung War that still rages. So what can he do?

Tales say that the first mortal man and woman, Ask and Embla, were found by Odin and his brothers on Midgard and gifted with life, intelligence, and senses. From those two sprang forth all of humanity.

Thor may not be able to save everyone on Midgard, but he can at least save a couple like Ask and Embla... and bring them to a new world to rebuild their race. The question remains, however, who on Earth is worthy of such a gift? Make your choice when you purchase the book:

A. Steven Rogers and Natasha Romanoff (See CAPTAIN AMERICA)

B. Eddaic Neopagans Lars and Astrid Jarlsson (see THE MIGHTY THOR #17)

Turk is, at best, an interesting, if ineffectual and mediocre thug. His self-confidence is enormous even though it has no real foundation. However, Turk has lifted a few self-help books from the local Barnes and Noble (Amazon declined his stolen credit card)... What he has picked up is getting a new idea and providing what people need. So he figures with the COVID pandemic, people need stuff cleaned. Come with us as Turk learns a mob cleaner is not the same thing as getting rid of germs, or even basic housekeeping. We wonder if Daredevil will or if he needs to show up. Can we do a 900 number for this?

The Liberty Legion’s Maria Hill has been summoned by Governor Andrew Cuomo of New York. He has reason to believe that, since the Bar with No Name has gone out of business, a group of eleven supervillains will be gathering in a secret location to do the unthinkable... have Christmas dinner! They’d already done it on Thanksgiving and now they’re at it again... Can Maria possibly bring these monsters to justice? Or at least bring one of them in so their meeting is appropriately limited to ten attendees?
