"Iron Demon (Part 1)"

Down and out in the Malibu Hills. Tony Stark's life is in desolation. A complete freefall for the once self-tagged Billionaire-Playboy-Philanthropist-Avenger. His fortune, his company, his empire, his assets, his Twitter following...gone! Even his car, yep that sweet cherry red Audi R8 convertible is just a high speed memory (Uber, anyone?) All thanks to the machinations of Spymaster and an onslaught of superhero world saving that cost him everything. Well, almost everything. The man that had it all, now has to rely on the last resource he has left, after all it has always been his greatest weapon - his mind. Or does he? Well that, and J.A.R.V.I.S. 1.0, his legendary charm, a briefcase full of armor parts, and as much swagger as he can muster. But where is Tony, literally? Off the proverbial grid. The Avengers can not trace his location. SHIELD officially lists him as "Missing." His closest friends - Pepper, Happy, Rhodey can't find him. It is as if he doesn't want to be found. What IS he working on?

Down to ashes in the Windy City. Terror strikes the Heartland. A highly coordinated attack takes down Chicago's tallest skyscraper, which also happened to be one of the most technologically advanced and secure buildings on the entire planet. Witness Gregory Stark's Tower crumble to the ground in broad daylight. Eco-terrorists are being blamed. The news is bombarded with reports. Fear runs amok. The city is on lockdown. But who could orchestrate such a plan? The breadcrumbs have been left. Clues to a mystery. Who are The Rising Tide? What the hell is Project Mayhem? Gregory Stark needs help. He can not turn to the Avengers or the authorities for he has too much to hide. He needs someone he can trust, someone that needs his help as much as he does theirs. He needs...family. Welcome back, Tony!

Join the Invincible new creative team with more iron in their blood than meta-humanly possible of Brian K. Vaughan (Runaways, Saga, Y: The Last Man), Chuck Palahniuk (Fight Club, Choke, Lullaby), and Olivier Coipel (House of M, Siege, Avengers vs. X-Men) as they engineer the most Starkly shocking adventure yet. Iron Man as you have never seen him before. NEXT MONTH: 1st Rule of Flight Club - You do not talk about Flight Club!

Queen Jarella of K'ai is torn. Her people blame her lover, the Hulk, for bringing war to their homeland – even after he, Namor, and the Silver Surfer defended the capital from Arkon and his Polemachian warriors! Is there a revolution at hand? Can even the Hulk quell the rumblings of the proletariat? Was this Skeletor's plan all along?

In New York, Stephen Strange carefully tends to his curse-stricken wife, Mephista, though he is mindful of the other steps he must take to foil Dormammu's grand scheme. They say magic is science we just don't understand yet, but one scientist working in a re-purposed firehouse in Tribeca was making serious inroads to understanding. He'd already mapped out the theoretical framework for paranormal/quantum entanglement and weaponized the proton to use against supernatural entities. He could be the key to an anti-Dormammu human resistance, and that means Egon Spengler, Ph.D., is marked for death! Can Stephen, Valkyrie, and Wong get Egon to the safety of the Sanctum Sanctorum before the vile sorcerers Baron Mordo and Illidan Stormrage slay them all?

Meanwhile, two mere mortals that were both once nearly omnipotent are sitting down together. But why is the Beyonder conspiring with Mephisto, and does this meeting have to do with reclaiming their lost power?

* + - A Nightmare on Graymalkin Lane – Epilogue\*\*\*

The Uncanny X-Men have defeated Freddy Krueger, but they cannot bring back the teen mutants whose lives were claimed by the deranged slasher. As they bury their dead, Wolverine is left to contemplate what would happen if the world knew that Freddy was actually a mutant and, in fact, wasn't dead but was instead mind-wiped by Charles Xavier, implanted with a Shi'ar X-9000 Image-Inducer to make him appear differently, and living at the X-Mansion as a new gifted student code-named “Daydreamer.” Wolverine and Charles tried to kill Freddy in 1983, but he literally came back to haunt them. Will this approach be more effective? Not if the Shadow King can get inside Freddy's head and fix things...

Meanwhile, Nightcrawler and Kitty continue to covertly observe the activities of the mutant-hating extremist group, the Purifiers. But will their cover be blown by the arrival of the Purifiers new leader... the Nazi man of bees, Swarm? Not the bees! NOT THE BEES!

The tables are being rigged and the owner is using its regular attendees to participate in putting a drug on the black market that will make those who want to become mutants become mutants – but only for a week’s period and then with disastrous consequences, as newest team member, the self-styled New Invincible Man (Who's not really sure if there's an old Invincible Man or not, he just likes the sound of the word "New"), is about to find out. However, the Invincible Man finds himself with one last chance of redemption when the Brotherhood need someone to beat the house at their own game, using him as a distraction whilst they split up to stop shipments of drugs - before they can get to their intended precipitants in Harlan County, Kentucky, where a man named Boyd Crowder is waiting for them. However, with the drugs in three different places across Vegas, and with them all being shipped at the same time, it's going to be a very hard task for the Brotherhood, as it's only a matter of time before The New Invincible Man finds out that he isn't as Invincible as he thought he was.

The time has come to once again answer life's most duplicative question – who will sit upon the Clone Throne? This is Iron Geneticist: Mojoworld, and today's secret ingredient is... jellyfish DNA!

Longshot has just discovered Mojoworld's underground competitive cloning arena, and that makes two of us! Its up to him and his eclectic team of rebels, including the multi-armed Spiral and the domestically violent NFL Superpro, to enact an audacious plan – clone the original Mojo back to life and have him replace his own replacement, the “even worse” Mojo II! But the only place on Mojoworld to make that happen is at the Iron geneticist laboratories, where the team must compete against three other impassioned groups of amateur splicers. Who can make the best Mojo? And if there's more than one, will Mojo be beside himself with anger at the man who killed him in the first place? (That's Longshot, btw).

Major Domo’s rating report: Oh dear... I wish they'd allow us to focus group test the DNA before they use it. This is a risky ratings maneuver that is bound to displease the sponsors...
