CAPTAIN AMERICA #4

Plot by EXCITER

Written by FRANK MILLER

Art by SEAN GORDON MURPHY

“NEW MODEL”

* Guest-starring the Invincible Iron Man!\*

Following his exploits in the Middle East, Steve Rogers appreciates the need to liberate the United States from its reliance on foreign oil... and he believes Tony Stark might be the man to do it! The genius billionaire playboy philanthropist is looking to change the world by manufacturing commercial vehicles fueled by low-yield versions of the same arc reactor that powers his famous suit of armor, and he intends to give the world a sneak peek at two prototypes: a sleek sedan called the “Tour Machine” and a rugged SUV known as the “Trailbuster” (names are still being workshopped in focus groups). Steve wants him to succeed, but the list of people who don’t is enormous: big oil, the automobile industry at large, and those foreign powers that hold America in their petroleum-filled grasp, just to name a few. So it’s unclear just who hired Donald Pierce and his cybernetic mercenaries, the Reavers, to crash Stark’s Pasadena press conference and destroy the prototypes. What is clear, however, is that Captain America isn’t going to let that happen!

Perhaps unrelated, one of Stark’s top scientists abruptly resigns and falls off the grid in a pattern that mirrors recent disappearances of big brains from Roxxon, Horizon Labs, and the Rand Corporation. The only link? A cryptic question scrawled on notepads left on their desks: “Who is George Tarleton?”

Meanwhile, with Steve away from Brooklyn, Congresswoman Roja-Oñederra unilaterally appoints a new Captain America that better reflects her diverse constituency. Sally Floyd’s popular op-ed identified the perfect candidate: Miss America Chavez. She’s female, a lesbian, and being a Fuertona from the Utopian Parallel she’s not technically Hispanic but she’s close enough. Her vast array of powers and skills dwarf those of the mere peak-human Steve Rogers. And best of all, she has the righteous zeal and impressionable mind of a millennial. She’s the perfect choice... to be surreptitiously indoctrinated by the Soviet super soldier Omega Red!

Plus: A Frontlines Op-Ed by Sally Floyd, “Would you Drive your Kids to School in a Proton Cannon? Why Stark’s Cars are Ridiculously Unsafe for our Roadways.”

FANTASTIC FOUR #4

Written by Kelly Sue DeConnick

Plot by CaptCleghorn

Art by Tom Grummett

“ONE TRUTH AND MANY LIES”

Senator Paul Hart is dead, killed in the fracas caused by Unus’ escape last issue. Seriously, you shoulda bought and read the book.

As a result, Ben, Reed, and Sue have been summoned to Washington DC to testify before a Congressional committee regarding the breach of security on a US installation, the resulting death of a US Senator, and the escape of a mutant terrorist (Unus). Because testimony scenes are terribly boring, our writing staff is ripping off Rashomon and tweaking each story just a bit. Who’s being truthful? Who’s lying? WE WILL be letting you know the real story, but YOU WILL have to buy the book. That’s how we roll.

Meanwhile, Johnny, in LA dealing with the Wendy Winter problem last issue wasn’t on base so he’s free from needing to testify. But he’s home alone when Thundra returns looking for someone. Who? That’s a surprise!

There are two shock endings to this issue. The first, Paul Hart’s successor is selected. And that result ain’t good for our heroes. The other surprise ending is the Villain reveal we’ve been building towards since day one.

Plot by MARVELL2100

Art by SALVADOR LARROCA

“VULTURE CAPITALISTS!”

Tony, Rhodey and Bethany Cabe meet with a special Wakandan envoy to discuss a joint space venture. With their combined resources, Wakanda and Stark Energy could lead mankind to the stars and also become Earth's first line of defense. After a successful meeting with more talks agreed on, Tony heads back to his private lab to work on his latest project, Iron Man. His encounter with Kang(see issue #1) has shown him that his armor is not ready to face all the threats he may encounter.

As he incorporates new tech and ideas into the armor, he receives a call from his Personal Assistant Pepper Potts. He has a visitor waiting to see him. Tony heads to the reception area and is surprised to see his old college friend Col. Bruce Talbot. As the two reminisce about past glories, Bruce tells Tony that this is not a friendly visit. He's here on behalf of the US Gov't and that they need his help. He stuns Tony by telling him he knows about Starks meeting with the Wakandans. Talbot tells him that it's a good thing and that he could Tony's help. The United States wants him to become a spy and tell him everything that he can learn when he travels to Wakanda!

Meanwhile Arno, Zeke Stane and the Hammer girls are beginning their covert attack on Stark Energy. They have created their own company called Resolute to rival Stark Energy and privately Arno is secretly working on his own armor. They may be brothers but Arno will prove to Tony that he will always be Superior!

THE MIGHTY THOR #4

Plot by EXCITER

Written by ALAN MOORE

Art by MIKE MIGNOLA

“DIVINE JUSTICE”

The Hulk has been subdued and the In-Betweener’s curse dispelled... but the destruction he wrought remains. Bruce Banner must now stand before the All-Father in judgement. The Vanir, led by Queen Frigga, demand a swift execution as Vanaheim bore the brunt of the Chaotic Hulk’s rampage. Yet Odin, questioning Hulk’s culpability, sees a spark of worthiness in the monster from Midgard. Perhaps a test is in order?

To gain ultimate wisdom, the King of Asgard famously once made a sacrifice of himself to himself. He hung from the great cosmic world tree Yggdrasil for nine days, stabbed and bleeding, as he peered into the waters of the fathomless Well of Urd below until secrets and truths untold were finally revealed to him. If the Hulk can survive such an ordeal, Odin will pardon his crimes. If he cannot, then Asgardian justice will be served!

Meanwhile, for his part in defeating the Hulk, the troll Ulik has been granted an island on Vanaheim for his people to build a new homeland. Having earned the respect of his rival the mighty Thor in battle, the two now face a new challenge - how much mead can they drink?!

But not everyone is feeling celebratory, especially not the native Vanir... nor Loki, who feels cheated of credit for the victory and believes the green brute who pummeled him deserves naught but a painful end. Fortunately for the god of mischief, he knows someone on Midgard who would agree. The Hulk humiliated this man in battle, slew his people, destroyed his armaments, and even deflowered his daughter! So wouldn’t it be interesting if General Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross found out that his mortal enemy could presently be found in Asgard?

OLD MOON CRONE #4

Written by Amy Reeder

Plot by CaptCleghorn

Art by Veronica Fish

“ROUTE 66, EXIT 2: ST. LOUIS”

Our intrepid travelers of the future have gotten ahold of the Wonderous Whiz Wagon! However, they are set upon in the Badoon run New St. Louis. However, beneath the ground lies the string of caves once used by brewers of beer to keep their stocks cool. Lunella got a lot out of her undergraduate education. She did spend almost 18 months earning her first degree, but a love of beer was not part of it. She was, you know, only 11 at the time.

However, man’s love for alcohol and Lunella’s love of science may be able to finally work together. Certain grains have been shown to be poisonous to the Badoon, who have developed a taste for Earthly libations. Our team’s mission: To use the few excess parts of the Whiz Wagon to brew beer from the grains the Badoon cannot digest, thus making them sick or worse.

Killraven and the Recorder are working above ground, trying to negotiate safe passage through the western half of the continent from the tribe of native Americans who have regained authority over a large area and who would rather not see anyone, Badoon or Immigrant Human enter their domain.

“LEVITICUS Leviticus 19:19”

•Free of the government and the Brotherhood, X-23 adjusts to life at Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters with the help of STORM. The brutality with which X-23 killed MAGNETO's daughter, ANYA, haunts Ororo, and she wonders if there is any hope for one so at ease with murder to live a so-called normal life.

•There once was an elf who wanted to be a priest. His name was KURT WAGNER, a devout Catholic, a brimstone teleporting mutant who looked like a demon. He was once part of MUTANT FORCE with his mother and extended family, a group of mutants trying to make a name for themselves while robbing the people they saved, a group whose actions led to the crippling of CHARLES XAVIER. Even after that trauma, Professor X showed Kurt a better way by offering him a place at the school, left him with nothing but his faith after he turned his back on his villainous family.

•SCOTT SUMMERS tries to deal with the adamantium claws-induced traumatic brain injury that robbed him of control over his optic blasts. For someone previously so effortlessly in control, his entire worldview shatters under the weight of his disability. Can shy JEAN GREY help him adjust or will he push her away?

•In the midst of their pain, will Kurt and Scott find solace in REV. WILLIAM STRYKER's CHURCH OF HUMANITY and its promise to transform unhappy mutants into contented humans?
