ADAM WARLOCK #4

Plot by GUANLISHABI

Written by JIM STARLIN

Art by RON LIM

"HOW STRANGE MY DESTINY! HOW STRANGE ALL MY DESTINIES!"

Adam Warlock is now both more of himself and less of himself.

After absorbing the soul of his past self into the Soul Gem, Adam Warlock wakes up back in the real world outside the bar on Shi'ar.

Epiphany!

Our main character now realizes that he is broken, just like the cosmos itself.

Warlock sacrificed himself to destroy the seal that locked all the gods during the Negation.

But that shouldn't be possible for any single cosmic entity even one as powerful as Warlock.

The reason he was able to destroy the god seal is because he didn't just explode one himself, but all him selves.

Along his cosmic kismet path. Adam Warlock in that moment sacrificed him selves across all time and space and created a new genesis point.

But due to Warlock's special connection to the Soul Gem, his broken soul managed to take over a clone Adam Cocoon created by High Evolutionary for Ultron during the Annihilation Conquest.

Just like himself, all of past selves and future selves have done the same, and now they are all loose upon this time period and in this universe.

But unlike himself, the other cocoons are broken long before his is broken.

And that was exactly why Adam came to Shi'ar Empire.

He saw in his vision that there is another himself in Shi'ar, fighting as a gladiator in a galaxy that hates him.

At the exact same time in the arena, the other Adam from the vision is beaten down to the ground.

The warrior beating the gladiator into a bloody pulp is unsurprisingly, another Adam.

And upon the forehead of the warrior Adam, the Power Gem, another one of the six Infinity Gems?!

CAPTAIN AMERICA #56

Plot by EXCITER

Written by FRANK MILLER

“IDENTITY CRISIS” part two “AND YOUR LITTLE SPIDER TOO”

The mantle of Captain America is finally safe with Steve Rogers after he defeated Arkady Rossovich, freezing “Omega Red” in ice… hopefully forever. But there are other imposters that formed the “Dark Avengers” yet to be dealt with.

Thaddeus Ross, the Red Hulk, is the easiest. He really was just looking for a way back to his old position after being fired for mistakes made during the “Civil War” event (General Ross sided with the Vanir and brought America to war with Asgard, see CIVIL WAR #1-4). In the intervening time, Ross fought against Zemo and partially redeemed himself, so Steve is willing to give him another chance! Is this a mistake?

Natasha and Bucky are less forgiving of Tilda “Deadly Nightshade” Johnson and Davos the Steel Serpent, who usurped the “Black Widow” and “Winter Soldier” names respectively. They’re going to handle things their way…

This just leaves Anton Miguel Rodriguez, f.k.a. “Tarantula,” perhaps the worst of the bunch. He’s leader of the Los Arañas Delvadia gang and has been using his official “Dark Avenger” status to flood the country with his army of killers and criminals from South America. Worse still, he is doing this using the stolen name “Spider-Man.” Steve knows a kid from Queens who might take issue with that and want to do something about it. It’s Captain America and the one-and-only, real friendly neighborhood Spider-Man in a team-up that will hopefully end this so-called “identity crisis”!

From today’s WSJ:

“Sen. Susan Storm after recently leaving the controversial Kelly Storm presidential campaign ticket has taken a COO position with the F² Foundation. Although neither stated nor denied, Storm’s familial relationship with high ranking members of the Foundation (brother John Storm, CEO and husband Reed Richards, PhD) is believed to have been instrumental in her selection to the post.

The staffing addition comes at a time when Gideon Industries is making a powerful attempt to acquire F². Gregory Gideon was the incumbent that Storm defeated in her election to the United States Senate.

Foundation counsel Jennifer Walters, in a prepared statement has said, “Gregory Gideon’s attempts will be thwarted and are not a reason for Dr. Storm’s joining the F² team.”

Meanwhile, Nadia Pym is enjoying calculating a course to the opposite of the sun accounting for slingshot and fluke consumption. You know, typical teenage girl stuff.

Cut. Print. That’s a wrap! Principle filming for the first season (which is only six episodes, not twenty-four like the good old days) of Disney+‘s bio-series “The Incredible Hulk,” starring Simon Williams as the titular green hero, is in the can! Now it’s just got to get through post-production, where nerds add all the special effects and other bells and whistles.

But that leaves Simon, who just teamed up with the real Hulk after initially fighting (a classic beat!) with nothing to do until the big Hollywood premiere…

Nothing, that is, except finish that pop album he’s been working on! Simon’s always fancied himself the triple treat: he can act, he can sing, and he can superhero… but this is his chance to prove that he can be big time at all three!

As the real Hulk begrudgingly agrees to join him to provide the final track with backing vocals - or, like, backing grunts and shouts - Simon’s brother Eric Williams, a.k.a. the Grim Reaper, lures them into a death trap! Will Simon have to posthumously win that Teen Choice Award for “Best Lead Actor” that he covets so dearly?

Plus: An iTunes promo code redeemable for a free download of Simon William’s debut album!

“HEL TO PAY”

Thor returns from his mission to Rigel-III, but his homecoming is not a happy one… for he must attend the funeral of his father. Slain by Ulik (see ULIK THE TROLL: WORLD WAR ZEMO #4), Odin Borson has finally gone to Valhalla. The former King and All-Father was a complicated figure, to some a hero and to many a tyrant, yet none can deny the impact of his life on the universe.

As All-Mother Queen Sif and her young children Magni and Modi Thorson officially host the ceremonies in Asgard, attendees from all of the Nine Realms and beyond arrive. From Jotunheim, Loki and his frost giants. From Midgard, Thor’s friends and former rivals Captain America and the Hulk, among other heroes. From Svartalfheim, the dark elven matriarchs Illska and Sārga. From Alfheim, light elf Queen Aelsa Featherwine. From Muspelheim, the fiery Aldrnari the Incinerator. From Nidavellir, the Four Kings of the dwarves: Norðri, Suðri, Austri, and Vestri. But the most shocking arrival is from Hel itself…

Hela appears publicly, now six months pregnant with Thor’s child. His seed was part of the price paid for his resurrection (see THE MIGHTY THOR #50), but now Hela has come to claim the rest of what she’s owed - and Thor cannot avoid paying his debt any longer. For unless and until he smites all of Hela’s enumerated rivals and brings the Norse afterlife to heel, he must forever remain… the Hel-Sworn Thor!

Plus, Mockingbird also returns from Rigel-III, where, on that far away battlefield, she and Thor were intimate (last ish!). But Barbara may have underestimated Thor’s godly potency… for now she too is with child!

As the Living Machine absorbs powers from the Silver Surfer, Tyrant tells Norrin that he respects Norrin's noble sacrifice.

And as a gesture of respect, Tyrant shows Norrin his memories from a distant past, the reasons for his rebellion.

The motives behind his crusade against the almighty Galactus, their creator.

With Negation, the powers of Anti Magic, superhuman powers were… Negated! The exception were, of course, magic, and technology.

Anti-magic did not work on technology.

And that, was the reason Tyrant, the living machine was created.

By giving a machine powers equal to his own, Galactus prepared for the return of his brother Charon a billion years ago.

The great machine would fight his war for him, and kill his brother for him.

But the machine gained sentience, and with sentience, came the same hunger that plagued Galactus.

Unable to sate his hunger, Tyrant rebelled against Galactus, and there was a War in Heaven.

Tyrant failed and was exiled by his creator from paradise, to only be known as the ancient cosmic conqueror.

After the failure at creating a purely technological weapon, Galactus began his search for soldiers.

And that, was the reason the Heralds of Galactus were created!?

What terrors could have fractured the mind of one raised in Limbo? Then Stephen relates their casting of an eschatonic scission: the creation of a duplicate damned timeline to sequester and banish the Great Old Ones and Outer Gods, an Earth and its people made to suffer and die instead of this one. DOCTOR VOODOO and ELSA BLOODSTONE were dead while AARKUS the VISION was left little more than a wisp of smoke suspended in a Kemetic bottle.

•Putting aside their horror at an act of planetary suffering and destruction, the X-Men have to decide what to do with a mutant sorceress who has lost her mind. Will their decision be as controversial as the eschatonic scission?

•On X-Isle, the SCARLET WITCH finally tells her father about her part in creating and condemning a world. MAGNETO is, of course, sympathetic. Hasn't he tried to wipe the planet clean of humans to make it safe for mutants before? He realizes now that there are better alternatives to extinction agendas but some humans haven't learned that yet.

•The Xentaurs and DeMutants of X-Isle come under attack by the MUTANT MASSACRERS! The INVINCIBLE MAN, NTH MAN, DOOMSDAY MAN, AND MODULAR MAN intend to wipe the island clean of mutants, but the Master of Magnetism and the Queen of Chaos will teach them a new lesson today.

“X-PLORATORY COMMISSION”

It was in September of 2017 that Hank “Beast” McCoy tendered his resignation as President of the United States. He’d served less than two years, but in that time he’d accomplished a lot. He’d helped manage the fallout after a weapon of mass mutation detonated over Buenos Aires. He dissolved KSI Industries, which hid Decepticon technology in Sentinels that it manufactured as part of Megatron’s scheme to conquer Earth. He exposed Senator Kelly’s deep state conspiracy and collusion with Bastion. He effectuated regime change in Krakoa, personally leading Seal Team X to take out Dark Beast. He ended global warming and, at the same time, foiled HYRDRA’s attempt to take over the world. Many have come to view his administration as a huge success in hindsight, especially given what’s been happening since then.

Hank himself still looks back on his campaign with fondness, smiling as he remembers his slogan - “McCoy 2016: The Next Stage in American Evolution!” With a rather weak slate of potential candidates for 2024, is it time for Hank to throw his proverbial hat back in the race? Can we hope for a return of President Beast?
