This issue reveals what Carnage knows... as well as how he came to know it.

However, it’s not the fact that she’s discovered the information puts her life at risk. No, if only it were that simple. It’d be what she intends to do with the information next that puts Alex in the firing line – and even the assistance of Anya Corazon (who doesn’t know a thing about the Machine’s existence) aka Spider-Girl – may not be enough to stop her!

HIGH EVOLUTIONARY#2

 Plot By MCGAFFER

 "COSMIC SMORGASBORD"

 The Acanti breeding ground, rich with possibilities for genetic research! One problem is the bothersome insects that have infested the area, they have some rudimentary English which is slightly surprising...for the length of a heartbeat! The Brood is what they call themselves. A cosmic termite race! But then given the size of the universe perhaps they are not cosmic but quite simply a mundane and yet slightly bothersome insect problem in this vast immensity. Scale is everything! And so scale is what the High Evolutionary shall experiment with, to cross an Acanti with a Brood Queen, what monstrosity will that create? Will the other Broodlings hollow out this new creature to use as a living vessel? Will HE, like Jonah, be swallowed by the new great whale? Possibly. But what is science without risk? These Acanti hold secrets and these Broodlings know them best, introducing them much closer to one another may open up doorways to new areas. Of course the universe could suffer horribly as a consequence, or the universe could adapt to a new superpredator. Evolution on a cosmic scale, borne out of frantic desperation. Fascinating!

I speed across the world and see 2 factions at war. One group resides in a castle under the control of powerful sorceress with an iron mask who calls herself Lady Doom. The other faction is led by winged-woman who calls herself the Wasp. I've spied on both groups and have seen unbelievable characters. Talking racoons with guns and attitudes, a red hulking creature, a man armored in a war machine, a thunder god, a living bomb and a mysterious prisoner who lies in the dungeon. The Wasp's group call themselves the Avengers and Lady Doom has her Legion of Doom. More have arrived now, there is major battle at the castle and it's time for me to make my presence known. I must let these other lost ones know what I know...especially that this planet is actually alive!"

 Miami, Florida is a place of sun, sand, beautiful women, handsome men, and more recently, 100 mutants who work for Sebastian Shaw. Placed around various popular locales in Miami such as Miami Beach, the Art Deco district, South Beach, and Ocean Drive, their orders are to cause as much random violence as possible when they are given the go-ahead. Until then, they are to mingle with the populace and maintain a low profile.

 Armed with knowledge of the impending attack on Miami, Cable, Rachel, and X-Force teleport to the city. Moments after their arrival, law enforcement attempt to apprehend them because of the attack at the Pentagon. Rachel, Synch, and Ricochet attempt to reason with authorities while Cable, Domino, and Warpath attempt to slip away. However, a member of the 100 spies them and decides to attack...

 At an unknown location, Sebastian Shaw meets with a hooded figure. As the hooded figure gives instructions, Shaw's only response is “Yes Lord Bogan.”

Two stories begin to emerge: the museum talks about the threat posed by a malicious coven of witchbreed, stopped only by the valiant leadership of “Preacher John.” Meanwhile, the archives seem to tell a different tale: that of innocent men, women, and children persecuted for having abilities they didn't understand, by a supernaturally persuasive preacher. Sage realizes that something is very wrong, and goes to find her students. Unfortunately, Petra almost immediately wanders off to do her own thing, while Maggot tries to bring her back. The latter is an obvious mutant, and attracts some attention. The wrong kind of attention. You see, Salem has been mutant-free ever since the Witchbreed Trials. And the locals think that’s just fine. In fact, you might stay they think it’s Sublime…
