The day after a day unlike any other
The War Of The Realms is over and Thor and Tony Stark are relaxing in the Avengers Mountain hot tub. Thor lost 1 eye in WOTR but regained Mjolnir from the Sun. He keeps checking he's still worthy enough to pick it up (after the long period after Original Sin when he wasn't). Stark says Thor is the only god he'd follow to Hell and back. Thor responds that Iron Man is the 1st mortal he'd choose to stand at his side. But Tony calls him on that, saying Steve Rogers is the 1st man *either* of them would pick in a fight.As if on cue Captain America shows up and asks who they're fighting. When he learns that there's no current enemy he admonishes them for abandoning all the post-War world-wide cleaning up that needs doing. Tony has kept his Iron Man helmet on in the pool and says he's remote-piloting a dozen armours on the job. Thor advises Cap to take some down-time, but Steve says he hasn't got his swimsuit. The other 2 says they don't either, so naked Rogers joins them for 5 minutes.Meanwhile in the Pentagon Phil Coulson surveys an array of LMDs of Nick Fury (the old white 1 who is now the Unseen) who act as his security team. They have reported an intruder. And then Black Panther drops in via a ventilation shaft. Coulson orders the Fury's to arrest him but T'Challa knocks them down with a force blast.Panther says he's here to prevent conflict between the Avengers and the Squadron Supreme Of America. Coulson claims that the Squadron successfully defended Washington DC while the Avengers were losing New York. BP counters that all they did was send the Frost Giants to Canada, which Coulson says is not *his* problem.T'Challa accuses Coulson of being a murderer. (He's presumably referring to the unidentified Agent Of Wakanda that Coulson killed at the end of #11. Or maybe he suspects Phil of having something to do with the murder of Gen'l Ross over in Cap's series?) He asks Coulson if the Squadron know *what* Phil is. (Referring to Coulson's mysterious return from death, which we know has something to do with Mephisto. But BP should really be asking if the Squadron know what *they* are, because we know they are creatures under Coulson's control with false memories.) Cue Doctor Spectrum using his Power Prism to melt a hole in the wall.On Avengers Mountain She-Hulk is taking a brief rest after disposing of Frost Giant bodies. She's covered in their blood, which excites Blade. SHulk tries unsuccessfully to flirt back at him, as he heads off to hunt vampires with the baby Boy-Thing on his shoulder. SHulk heads inside to look for alcohol.Captain Marvel and Robbie Reyes have 'borrowed' Tony Stark's speedboat to go fishing for Muspelheim Firesharks which Carol Danvers figures Sub-Mariner collected and dumped in the waters around their HQ. She also figures this will be R&R, but RR blurts out that being Ghost Rider and an Avenger is continually terrifying. Carol tells him that being an Avenger *is* terrifying. And her mother recently (Life Of Captain Marvel mini-series) confessed to being a Kree, the aliens who conquered their way to a galactic empire. But on the other hand she can *fly*, so perks does being Ghost Rider give Robbie? In answer Robbie goes GR and turns the boat into a hellboat going many times faster than TS's speedboat could do.Back in Phil Coulson's office the Squadron Supreme step in. Nighthawk and Hyperion try to arrest Black Panther. T'Challa tells them he know that they aren't the real Squadron Supreme, and he knows that Coulson is working for someone other than the US Government. He asks them how they know they can trust him. Then he contacts Broo, the mutant Broodling, to teleport him back to Avengers HQ.Back in the pool Cap tells the other 2 that Daredevil with Heimdall's omniscience warned him about a new dangerous version of Starbrand. But the others tell him to stop talking shop, including Carol and Robbie who've joined them, not naked. And then She-Hulk arrives and she *is* naked.Thor checks his hammer again in case impure thoughts about SHulk have made him unworthy. Tony is worrying about only being a backup copy of the real person (see almost every issue of his current series). Steve is worrying about all the menaces on their current list. Carol is worrying about what happens when they have to fight the Kree. SHulk says the tub's not hot enough so Robbie becomes GR again to heat it. He's still afraid but at least now he's with 'family'.And in the penthouse T'Challa uploads scans he made of the Squadron and asks the computer to compare them with other versions. And cross-reference files on the Squadron, Coulson and the other menaces to find any connection.And in Las Vegas Mephisto contemplates chess pieces representing the Avengers and some of the menaces, plus some related to things Daredevil mentioned to She-Hulk last issue.

Blood hunt part 1
In Blood Hunt #1 users of the Darkforce were used to cover the Earth in darkness, hiding the Sun, and the world was overrun by vampires. The regular Avengers were attacked by a group of super-vampires called the Bloodcoven. Black Panther and Thor were apparently killed and Scarlet Witch captured.Now Captain Marvel has called Captain America (Steve Rogers) to gather ex-Avengers to help in the fight. And he's made some calls.Even more now he's killing vampires while he waits. This is war so he's now a soldier rather than a superhero. Then the 1st of his recruits joins him by throwing a bus at some attacking vamps. It's Hercules and he's come armed with the 'sun-kissed' sword of Apollo. A hail of arrows announce the arrival of Hawkeye (Kate Bishop). Quicksilver zooms in with a personal goal to wade through vampires until he reaches his captive sister. The last recruit Hazmat uses her radiation power to blast the foes with simulated sunlight.Pietro Maximoff is impatient (as usual) to make saving Wanda a priority, but Cap says everyone's priority should be saving people from the vampires. The ones they've been dealing with here are just disorganised cannon fodder. But there are also organised groups rounding people up, probably to serve as blood banks, and they should be their targets. Internally Steve is agonising over the choice. As a superhero he wants to save everyone but as a soldier he knows that the way to save the most is to end the war.Speedster Quicksilver scouts around on foot while the other 4 pile into an Avengers version of SHIELD's flying cars. Hawkeye spots a bunch of vamps in matching uniforms herding people with cattle prods. Hazmat (Jen Takeda) notes that they're wearing Nazi outfits. QS reaches them 1st and Cap and Herc drop from the sky to join him. Hazmat also gets down somehow to add her blasts. Hawkeye stays in the car, steering with her feet while she fires arrows. Herc throws Hazmat at the enemy (replicating the Colossus/Wolverine fastball special). Pietro notes that Steve's shield isn't flying right. Cap tells him it's a special edged in silver that he had made after he was temporarily a werewolf (his #402-408). Hercules comments that he himself once became a Spider-Man (Herc #7-8 during the Spider-Island event). Jen wonders what she's getting into being an Avenger.Kate wonders where Nazi vampires come from. A burly vamp throttling Pietro comments that they are another example of a master race conquering their lessers, until Cap's shield decapitates him. Herc blames the Kull-era surface Atlanteans for using the Darkhold to create the 1st vampire (Varnae, as revealed in Bizarre Adventures #33). Cap adds that he's known good people cursed by vampirism (eg Blade, Hannibal King) but he's never known a good Nazi. Whatever, they kill all the Nazi vamps and free their prisoners.But then a vortex beam sucks heroes and victims alike up into a helicarrier. Hazmat plans to wreck the craft with an EMP, but Hercules (of all people) warns her that it would endanger them and the city below. And Cap is less-than-surprised to see the vampire behind the Nazis is his old foe Baron Blood.

Twilight dreaming part 1
The Avengers have defeated the Ashen Combine, the 1st Tribulation Event predicted by Kang The Conqueror, and the villains' sentient orbiting Impossible City has agreed to be their new base.But now we seem to be in the middle (or rather near the end) of another crisis. The Moon is split in 2 and things are raining down on Earth. We see large alien beings stomping around while humans vomit blood(?). The Avengers, especially Scarlet Witch, are mourning a fallen Vision. It's the same gang as current but they are wearing older costumes, especially Carol Danvers dressed as Warbird or Ms Marvel. However Captain America is still Sam Wilson.We learn that the Black Presbyter is unravelling reality and the children of the Anti-All have been released. The multiverse of the 8th Cosmos is dying and the Avengers can only avenge it. But 1 by 1 they are defeated:- Thor then Carol then Black Panther (invoking the Tiger God who also dies) and Iron Man then Cap boosted by the power of Wanda Maximoff.The Witch is left alone but then she realises that someone has been describing events in a voiceover to us. She sees someone watching who turns out to be Nightmare. He agrees when she calls it all a trick but says it's also real. As he defends himself from her attack she wakes up to find the others asleep on a floor in the Impossible City. (And they're all in their current costumes including herself.) They're all there except Vision. (Well, I don't see Panther either, which may or may not be significant.)Then Vision enters and says that he saw them all fall asleep, but then some others arrived. They now follow him in and announce themselves as Myrddin and his Twilight Court who are here to put an end to Kang.

Hit back
Last issue, in the middle of dealing with Mad Thinker's attack on their Impossible City orbiting base, Carol Danvers complained that they were frustrated waiting for Tony Stark's go ahead to attack Orchis who had driven most mutants off Earth and maybe killed many of them.Now Stark appears in his new armour (donned in his #15) and recaps the above and their (in particular Feilong's) stealing his tech to build their Iron Sentinels while persuading humans that they were saving them from the evil mutants. Now he tells them that he and the mutants have everything ready so the Avengers can take the fight to Orchis. (He doesn't specifically mention here that his Model 72 armour is made from the mutants' mystery metal called mysterium.)Iron Man leads the big-hitters Captain Marvel, Thor and Vision to totally destroy an automated Sentinel factory in Alaska. Observing them from the Avengers Desk in Orchis base Juno is the 3-D Man (Delroy Garrett). He gets a holographic call from MODOK to remind him that they hired him keep tabs on his old team. But Delroy responds that he'd warned them that the Avengers were a serious threat but they didn't listen. MODOK reminds him that Orchis has taken down the mutant nation Krakoa while the Avengers hid in their orbiting base. Garrett reminds *him* that they hired him for his record of spotting hidden dangers. He saw the Skrull menace before Secret Invasion. He recognised the mutant problem before Orchis even existed. Meanwhile a flight of Box Sentinels are heading to intercept the 4 Avengers as they cut across Canadian airspace, but the Impossible City teleports them home. And Carol Danvers sends a message from the Mighty Avengers to the Secret Avengers.At an Orchis mutant re-education centre in Oklahoma computer systems go down and all screens are filled with the Black Panther's symbol. As BP himself appears out of the shadows to slash open the protective suits of the techs he begs Carol not to call them the SAv. He unlocks all the cells and tells the mutants they are being rescued. They're not too sure about that when faced with Orchis goons with guns. But Captain America (Sam Wilson)'s thrown shield knocks some of the gunmen off their feet as he asks nicely for them to let the people go. Other gunnies claim the they're not scared of him. But he suggests they *should* be scared of his companion Scarlet Witch and of Panther behind them. The freed mutants are teleported to the City to be greeted by CM and the other 3. 1 mutant asks Vision to go help the 3 Avengers who are now facing Sentinels as well as more troops, but the synthezoid is certain of his comrades' ability to win, which we see they are doing.3-D Man reports to MODOK about the liberation of the re-education centre. MODOK objects to the word 'liberation' but Garrett says he's just thinking like the Avengers in order to understand them - but that doesn't mean he can work out where they'll hit next. He again tells his boss that the foe weren't 'hiding' in their orbital City but planning their attack, knowing that they would only get 1 shot. The City is a Sword Of Damocles hanging over Orchis' head, but he says a sword can be blunted.Either the writer can't count or we skip a stage and move on to the Avengers' target 4, an Orchis datacore farm in Minnesota. It's the big 4 again and Thor laments to Captain Marvel that the building is proof against his lightning because they expected Storm. But Iron Man and Vision physically break in which disrupts the EMP shielding allowing the Thunder God to fry the electronics within. MODOK petulantly asks Garrett how the enemy knows where their sites are and how to bypass their systems. Delroy reckons it's all down to Black Panther. MODOK questions 3-D Man's loyalty, suggesting he rates the foe suspiciously highly. Garrett says that last time he was an Avenger on an Initiative team he fought in the Skrull Invasion but was thrown out for killing a Skrull (a somewhat biased account of Initiative #19).In the Impossible City Captain Marvel hands over command to T'Challa because the time limit on her Nega-Bands is going to send her to the Negative Zone releasing powerless Yuna Yang to take her place (see the current CM series to learn what this is all about). She is greeted by the City's AI speaking out of 1 of the Mad Thinker's plastoid robots from last issue. It has successfully reprogrammed them and we see others handing out food to the liberated mutants.In target 6 (another skip), another re-education centre in Louisiana, Orchis troops fire on Scarlet Witch but Wanda Maximoff freezes their bullets in midair. She gives the enemy 1 minute to surrender before she sends the bullets back to them. However BP and Cap take some of them down anyway so she borrows Sam's shield to magically guide it to KO the rest. The trio send more mutants to the City, who is delighted to have so many guests to look after. 3-D Man realises it's not all down to BP, it's the skills of all the Avengers, and Orchis can't do anything about the City's alien teleportation tech. MODOK panics and agrees to give Garrett whatever he needs to stop the Avengers.Target 8 is the long-range comms hub in the Azores. The big 3 (minus Danvers) smash through guardian Sentinels. But Yuna calls them back to the City. Orchis have reacted faster and cleverer than they hoped, and they're attacking the City with a horde of Sentinels. The plan is obviously to take out the teleportation system that allows the Avengers to strike at all the Orchis bases so quickly.

Blood hunt finale
While the main Avengers team is away in the Blood Hunt mini-series fighting the source of the dark skies and vampire hordes (it's the ancient 1st vampire Varnae), Captain America (Steve Rogers) has assembled a small team (Hawkeye (Kate Bishop), Hazmat, Hercules and Quicksilver) to protect the civilians of New York. But they wound up trying to rescue many who were taken by Nazi vamps to a stolen SHIELD Helicarrier under the control of Cap's old vampire foe Baron Blood. They killed a lot of vamps and sent as many prisoners as they could down in escape capsules. But there are lots more of both. But now Cap has taken control of the 'Carrier.He's flying the huge beast with a simple joystick control. It's a rough ride but at last we see his plan. The vampires have covered the sky world wide with Darkforce, blotting out the Sun. But Cap just flies the Helicarrier up *through* the cloud into the light. He uses comms to advise his troops to continue the fight, while he puts the craft on autopilot and returns to *his* battle with the Baron. Blood reminds him that sunlight can't harm *him*, so Cap just has to keep beating him up.The vampires have painted over the portholes. But Hercules just rips 1 door open and starts throwing vamps out. And Hawkeye uses a sonic arrow to melt the paint (maybe) on others. Hazmat just continues to us her radiation, tuned to simulate sunlight, to kill vamps directly although she feels bad about doing it while they're running away. Quicksilver notes that they are all running in the same direction so he contacts Cap by Avengers Communicard to say he suspects they're up to something. Steve tells him to deal with it (but possibly with a coded subtext), but Blood gets him with a low blow while he's distracted.Cap goads John Falsworth into bragging about his plan. His troops will scuttle the ship, killing Cap and his Avengers and the abducted humans in the crash/explosion because none of them can fly unlike Blood himself. Cap points out it will kill the other vampires too, but the Baron boasts that he can easily find more credulous followers. However we learn that the Communicard link is till open and Pietro Maximoff has recorded the conversation.Q tells Hazmat and Hercules to keep killing vamps and protecting the humans. Hawkeye says she'll come with Pietro as a guide because as a 12-year old SHIELD geek she memorised the layout of helicarriers. He picks her up and zooms to her recommended destination - the reactors on Deck F. Jen Takeda and Herc continue with the enforced sunburn and forced ejection. Jen reminds the demi-god how they met when she was at the Avengers Academy. In its #29 he was a guest instructor to demonstrate Olympic wrestling in the nude (as they did in ancient Greece). She also recalls that the Academy feared she was destined to be a supervillain. He replies that now he's fully-clothed and she's an Avenger so it's all worked out fine. Except, she points out, that they're stuck on a helicarrier that's going to explode.When Pietro and Kate get to Deck F they have to kill more vampires. She explains to him that she learned from her study that the fastest way to scuttle a 'carrier is an emergency reactor dump. But they are locked out of the control room and the plans she studied obviously didn't include the access codes. Pietro makes Kate wait before smugly saying he has a way to get in. He presses a communications button to talk to the (4) vamps inside who claim they are willing to die with the ship for the cause. Baron Blood will ensure they are remembered as heroic martyrs. But then Quicksilver plays the recording of Blood's conversation with Captain America and they are immediately disillusioned. Q promises to let them live and they unlock the door and run out and away.Pietro leaves Kate to handle the reactor and says he's going to help Cap. But instead he quickly catches up with the fleeing 4. And he has a bag of wooden stakes. They protest that he said he'd let them live, but he points out they're vampires and not alive. And anyway breaking his word doesn't bother him because vamps have his sister Wanda and he's very angry about it.The Herc and Jen team have run out of vampires to kill and are trying to find Cap (and neither of them have ever studied helicarrier plans). But find him they do, still fighting BB. Hazmat reports that Hawkeye has the reactor sorted and they've killed all the vamp troops. So Blood dives through a window into the sky to fly away. Cap throws his shield but misses because it's the special silver edged version for killing vampires and werewolves. Pietro arrives too late to do anything but he says he learned from Cap himself to always have a backup plan. And his backup plan is Hawkeye currently aiming a silver-tipped arrow at the Baron.But the issue ends there so we don't know if she gets him.

(no title given)
Kang The Conqueror was attacked by new villain Myrddin (in Timeless (2023)). He sought succour from the Avengers and in return warned them about the upcoming Tribulation Events. Now he can't tell them any more because he's in a coma but the 1st Event is here, the Impossible City now orbits Earth.Within the City we see the Ashen Combine - 5 interdimensional city-slayers, who now pick 5 juicy cities to attack. Idol Alabaster lands in Vatican City, Italy to harvest the worship that powers her. The Citysmith takes Toronto, Canada and begins to twist it and its population into an artwork. Lord Ennui picks Manila in the Philippines as a city that never sleeps and brings its people the gift of stillness. In Sydney, Australia the Dead reawakens the dead. And in Helsinki, Finland Meridian Diadem's minions start capturing people.The Avengers are assembled in the Jarvis Lounge atop a New York skyscraper. Captain Marvel just tells them each to pick a target and go for it but Black Panther (T'Challa) advises a more thought-out approach. Carol Danvers realises the truth of his words. She tells Tony Stark to assemble data from satellites and other sources, and the synthezoid Vision to process the information at his high speed. Scarlet Witch and Thor should prepare to send others to designated targets, but everyone will attack either the 5 individuals or their orbiting base.Stark has found nothing about the foes in all the databases (eg SWORD's) they have access to, but he's passed all current data to Vision who analyses it as follows:- Manila is suffering an entropic attack, and Toronto a metrokinetic attack (a term he invents). Vatican City has a psi-event and Sydney is invaded by ghosts. In Helsinki there's an army taking prisoners. There's nothing he can say about their base. Meanwhile CapM has already designated targets.Idol Alabaster, looking like a giant egg with a face and wings and taloned feet, is perched atop the Egyptian obelisk in St Peter's Square psychically compelling the people to bow down and worship her. Thor approaches and denies that she is a god because that's not how gods gain worshippers.The Citysmith is an alien draped in a hooded cloak which shrouds his features in darkness. Only his evil grin is visible as he moulds the city to his whims. The emotions of its citizens are of course part of the artwork, but I don't see how any emotion remains but terror. Iron Man confronts him in his new blue stealth armour and criticises the result on artistic grounds.In Sydney what Vision called ghosts are really exhumed corpses. They aren't classic zombies but the dead who seek revenge on the living. Scarlet Witch now stands between them. She isn't at this point faced by their raiser who is a humanoid with a noose around his neck and a hangman's hood over his head.Vision's opponent is the robotic Meridian Diadem who wears what looks like an electronic tag around 1 ankle. Her armoured 'children' have gathered people in chains to be punished for their crimes. When Vision asks what crimes they have committed she replies that all organic beings commit crimes, and she will submit them to correction and the best of them will join the ranks of her 'children'.The crowned and 6-armed Lord Ennui surveys the surrounding people he has put to sleep and laments that it evokes no feelings in him. He wonders if this time he'll feel something when they start to die, but suspects not. Captain M arrives to assure him that this time *will* be different.Meanwhile Panther and Captain America (Sam Wilson) invade the Impossible City, which we learn is a sentient being whose memories the Ashen Combine deleted.

Hit back (part 2)
Last issue Iron Man told the Avengers that he and the X-Men were finally ready to confront Orchis so the team including him set out to raid various Orchis bases and send any mutants freed to their orbiting base the Impossible City. Disgruntled ex-Avenger 3-D Man had been tasked to predict and counter their moves. He wasn't doing well until he decided to send a fleet of Iron Sentinels to attack the City. Only Captain Marvel hadn't been sent out on the raids, but that's because her current personal circumstances meant she had to swap places with Yuna Yang in the Negative Zone.Now Yuna and the City's AI have to deal with the Sentinels alone. The City is shooting the robots down as fast as it can but they'll get through in approximately 12 minutes. It could dimensional-shift out of the way but the D-Shift engines will take 16 min to spin up. And it daren't take computing power away from the defences to mass evacuate the mutants.In Orchis base Juno 3-D Man is gloating to his holographically-present boss MODOK that he located the City despite its stealth screen and frequent orbit changes. MODOK complains that Orchis can't afford to lose that many Sentinels because they are required in other areas of conflict.The active Avengers have been running as 2 different teams with the City teleporting them between targets. Black Panther, Captain America (Sam Wilson) and Scarlet Witch have reached target #9, Mutant Re-education Centre K-19, and destroyed the prison and ported the mutant inmates to the City. The attack on the City is aimed to disrupt all this teleporting. It turns out that the Avengers know about 3-D Man's involvement and T'Challa says he underestimated Delroy Garrett's competence. Wanda Maximoff will go to help defend the City while the other 2 will be ported to Juno base.The heavy-hitter team Iron Man, Thor and Vision are ported into the midst of the attacking Sentinels where they join the Witch in destroying them while the City aims where they aren't. But the robots are built to adapt to the powers of attackers, which Vision computes will take 6 mins. So they concentrate on maximising the damage before then. The City estimates it won't be enough so Yuna clashes her Nega Bands together to initiate the swap with Captain Marvel. Carol Danvers says it will only give her 3 minutes so she goes outside to make them count. While the now 4 battle she tells the others that in a few minutes she'll be replaced by vulnerable Yuna. Wanda promises to protect her.In Juno base an alarm signals that BP and CA have arrived. 3-D Man claims to have planned for this and cuts MODOK's holographic link. He faces the pair and rants about how they threw him off the team (an older version) and now he's shown them he's better than them. BP admits to having underestimated Delroy who *told* him that he'd attack them to the *best* of his ability. Garrett doesn't understand that and thinks T'Challa's trying to trick him. But BP says that it's Garrett who was the trick and it's time for him to wake up, and he speaks something in Old Wakandan.We now see a memory where Panther sends Delroy deep undercover as an embittered ex-Avenger, hypno-conditioned to *believe* that he wanted to help Orchis against his old teammates, with the code phrase above to snap him out of it. While under he will consciously try to defeat the Avengers but subconsciously he will pass them information (such as where the targets they hit were).Meanwhile some Sentinels get past the City's defences. IM and Vizh head in to take them out. Carol gets pulled back to the Neg Zone and Wanda keeps Yuna alive in space. Then 3-D Man comes back to his sense and calls off the attack. BP infects Orchis' computers with a virus and he, CA and 3-D Man are teleported to the City.The remainder of the issue is an epilogue days later after the fall of Orchis. The team are celebrating while scooping up bits of Sentinel. Delroy Garrett has gone off on his own business. But then Vision alerts them to a problem with many huge black whirlpools in the atmosphere down on Earth.

A grand tradition
We open with the Mad Thinker in a straight jacket in a padded cell telling someone he needed no excuse to attack the Avengers.In #3-6 the Avengers defeated the Ashen Combine, aliens who arrived in their Impossible City spacecraft. In return for being freed from the villains' control the AI City volunteered to be the team's base. Now we see the team contemplate the villains encased in amber within the City. Tony Stark finds the situation acceptable but Carol Danvers isn't happy with her team being long-term jailers. There has to be a way of rehabilitating them. And she points out in particular that Meridian Diadem contains thousands of imprisoned innocents.Then Carol turns to another problem with the anti-mutant organisation Orchis who attacked Krakoa in the X-Men: Hellfire Gala 2023 1-shot. Stark is working closely with the mutants and they have a grand masterplan, but he's asked the Avengers to stay out of it until it's all in place. But Captain Marvel is getting impatient. (The Avengers will have their shot next issue.)Discussion is interrupted by the arrival of Edwin Jarvis, the team's butler, with a hulking aide. He's been invited to make the new base more hospitable. Jarvis then walks away while introducing himself and his companion Mr Sweeny to the omnipresent AI. Sweeny seems to have a gastric upset which Jarvis blames on his bad diet. Jarvis impresses on the AI that while it is the Avengers' job to battle cosmic menaces it is their job to cater for their more human needs. It is possible that a sustaining sandwich might be the difference between victory and defeat. To that end the cartload of boxes that Sweeny is pulling contain the makings of the individual members' favourite foods.Meanwhile in a private conversation 'practical' Black Panther suggests they just dump the Ashen Combine into the Sun. Thor fancies firing them at the Orchis Forge orbiting there. T'Challa tries to apologise to Thor. But the Lord Of Asgard says that kings don't apologise to each other, they come to a mutual understanding as equals.Jarvis is teaching the City AI to make Scarlet Witch's favourite food Utica Greens. We learn that Sweeny is actually the bully Bruiser who Jarvis defeated in a fight in #201 of the original series, which apparently turned his life around. He's still suffering from indigestion, and we are shown Thinker saying that he had planted a Pym-Reduced Assault Payload in his corned beef sandwich. And that at this point he transmitted an activate order from his secret bunker. At which point Sweeny spews up his guts and a bunch of Man-Slayer androids expand from the result.Ex-marriage partners Scarlet Witch and Vision are also having a chat. The synthazoid Vision admits he's hasn't been dating lately but suggests that Wanda Maximoff must be besieged by would-be suitors. It's her turn to admit that she almost had a date with Loki recently (#8 of her recent series). Vision pretends to vomit. And then they hear the AI's alarm message about the android invasion.The Man-Slayers are chasing Jarvis and Sweeny. Edwin asks the City to defend them but the AI responds that it has many devastating weapons to aim at external threats but its former masters gave it no internal weapons in case it used them against themselves. But Thor's hammer Mjolnir intervenes followed by the other Avengers, including Stark in his current grey Iron Man armour. After a brief battle the plastoid Man-Slayers merge into 1 giant version.Then the City mentions to Captain America (Sam Wilson) that if they got the Man-Slayer outside in space then it *could* shoot it. He sends the flying powerhouses Captain Marvel, Iron Man, Thor and Vision to propel the plastoid out of an airlock where the City blasts it with a ship-to-ship particle beam which disassembles it into it's component plastoids. The AI suggests that it could reprogram them as useful bodies for itself.Meanwhile Jarvis deduced that the Thinker is behind the attack. He got the AI to track the transmission beam between Man-Slayer and MT's base. And he and Sweeny planned to take the attack to *him*. Sweeny found it appropriate that Thinker was a 'super-nerd' because beating up nerds used to be his speciality. Now the ship teleports them to MT's lair and they assault him with fists and a cricket bat.Now we see that he's been incarcerated in the Ravencroft Institute for the criminally insane. And he's been talking to himself in a mirror. But he gloats that the Man-Slayer attack was just a feint. His true purpose was to find out where and how the Ashen Combine were imprisoned.And the attack did also have 1 effect - the Utica Greens were ruined.

Twilight dreaming part 3
The issue starts with a flash back to before #7. Captain Marvel chats to the Avengers' new orbiting base the Impossible City. She apologises for sending Black Panther and Captain America to 'kill' it in #4. The AI City assures her that it was going to commit suicide anyway but the Avengers inspired it to live instead. Carol Danvers reveals that she sent T'Challa on the mission because he would do the *hard* thing, but Sam Wilson was there to do the *right* thing. But then all but Vision fall suddenly asleep which leads to them face Nightmare in #7-8.Scarlet Witch woke up at the end of #7 and joined the synthezoid in fighting the attacking Twilight Court in #8. Myrddin had sent them because the heroes were sheltering the comatose Kang The Conqueror. While the duo held them off Wanda Maximoff also allowed the other Avengers to escape from Nightmare's realm. And at the end of last issue the 2 full team's faced off.As per Marvel-usual the teams split up into individual duels. CA's shield fends off Lancelot's light-swords until he hurls it past her to strike Bedivere's helmet and rebound to hit *her* in the back of the head. Galehaut is eager to fight the god Thor who decries her as a creation of science/magic without even a weapon to match his hammer Mjolnir. So she manifests a much bigger hammer. Panther attacks Parsifal, who stayed out of the battle last issue because 7 against 2 wouldn't be fair. Now however he successfully counters BP's attack because he can never be defeated as long as his cause is just. Scarlet Witch wants a rematch with the sorceress Mordred but King Artor takes her on. She is the living Darkhold but he wears the armour of Chthon. Meanwhile Bedivere faces Iron Man. But the 2 engineers spend more time complimenting each other's armours than fighting. And Mordred's magic holds off Vision while the nano-construct Bercilak's space-time warping deflects CM's blasts.CA has taken his fight with Lancelot into the air. Thor and Galehaut are clashing hammers. IM extrudes a wrist blade to counter Bedivere's sword, and B is still  complimenting him. As is Parsifal with BP who asks some teammate to exchange foes with him. Artor seems to be absorbing the Chthon-based spells SW throws at him. Vision is steadily breaking through Mordred's mystic shields when she asks for help from Bertilak, who diverts 1 of CM's blasts hit V in the back.Now IM says that their individual foes are too evenly-matched to them and suggests a general swap. Team leader CM broadcasts the call and leaves Bertilak to punch Lancelot. IM and BP swap enemies. BP rips open the back of Bedivere's armour with his Antarctic vibranium claws while Tony Stark sheds his armour in front of Parsifal who immediately stops fighting because it wouldn't be a fair fight and his cause would no longer be just. V leaves Mordred who gets blasted by Mjolnir-lightning. Similarly when CA engages Bertilak whose power is purely defensive he ends the duel by refusing to strike. Galehaut is enraged when SW replaces the god she wanted to fight but Wanda counters the magic of G's ancient hammer with her much older Chthon-magic. Then Vision ends the whole battle by plunging his hand into Artor's chest and gripping his heart. The king urges them not to yield but his knights won't see him killed.Now Carol Danvers has the chance to ask Wanda Maximoff what the fight was all about (because it started while she and others were trapped by Nightmare). SW says that their leader Myrddin brought them here to take Kang. But now the Avengers realise that M (last seen at the end of #7) didn't take part in the battle.And now we see him standing over K's comatose body in the sick bay.

Twilight dreaming part 2
The issue opens in space with a view of the Glasshouse, a large spacecraft with what resembles a huge sword & scabbard pushed through it. This is the home of Myrddin and his Twilight Court.Inside bright Lancelot (the Star) spars with merry Galehaut (the God) watched by Bedivere (the Engineer) and Bercilak (the Construct) (who doesn't speak but is still understood). Bedivere comments that Galehaut always lets Lance win, but she'll never let her know that. Galehaut suggests she and Lance go sample some of Bedivere's hidden brew, but the Star only has eyes for Artur (the King). However he, whose frail body is trapped in soul-cursed armour of Chthon, pines only for Parsifal (the Icon) the perfect knight training alone, but he daren't admit his feelings. The commentators are joined by Mordred (the Witch). Bedivere compares his ability to see how things fit together with her ability to see how they come apart. She tells them that Myddin is sending them against the Avengers.Now we pick after the end of last issue where we saw the 7 members of the Court arrive in the orbiting Impossible City to confront only Scarlet Witch and Vision. Vision had been standing alone against them (off-panel) before Wanda Maximoff joined him. Now Artur suggests they fight no more and the Avenger duo just hand over Kang The Conqueror. Scarlet Witch casts a spell at them but it dissolves before it reaches them because Mordred disassembles it. Vision sends a blast at her from the solar jewel on his brow but Bercilak diverts it with a space warp. The King suggests surrender again - there is no dishonour when 2 face 7 and the man they defend is a villain. The synthezoid says that the Avengers currently have need of Kang so they will not give him up. Wanda reminds him that the other Avengers are trapped by Nightmare. However she adds that she has a plan to rescue them but it will take time to work, so they must stall the foes.The Avengers' nightmare is that the Earth, the universe and reality are all unravelling and they can't stop it. Thor sees Asgard die, Iron Man Manhattan, Black Panther Wakanda, Captain Marvel the Impossible City and Captain America (Sam Wilson) Washington DC. But Nightmare detects SW mentally contacting the Thunder God and telling him he's in a dream created by Nightmare. He is angry because while the others are mortals who are always at the mercy of their dreams, he as a God is 1 of the dreams that they are at the mercy of. He calls down the lightning and shouts "Avengers assemble" to wake them up.In mid battle Wanda tells Vizh that her plan is working. She is casting spells so quickly that Mordred can't dispel them all. So Lancelot attacks her with her twin blades but SW conjures up a flaming axe to counter them. Until Galehaut fells her with a mighty punch. Meanwhile Vision fights Bedivere, alternating between diamond hard and intangible, and eventually breaks his sword and smashes him down. Mordred asks Parsifal why he doesn't join in, but his sense of justice prevents him from getting involved in such an uneven contest.The other 5 Avengers now know that they are in Nightmare's Realm. Their captor confronts them and claims they can't escape unless he lets them go. He claims to have been disrespected by Jean Grey and General Strange, and as a Fear Lord he deserves respect. So he'll let them go if the admit that he's beaten them and surrender. Panther, Marvel and Iron Man declare that Avengers never surrender. But Thor laughs and says that his obligation to help Vision and Wanda is greater than his pride - so he surrenders on behalf of the others.Vizh and Wanda are severely beaten and Artur asks them again to hand over Kang. But then the other 5 Avengers appear to stand between them. And Parsifal smiles because now the scales are balanced.

Citykillers part 4
The 1st of Kang's predicted Tribulation Events, the Ashen Combine, has arrived. Each of the 5 alien citykillers attacked a different city, and 5 Avengers opposed them while Black Panther and Captain America (Sam Wilson) infiltrated their empty orbiting spaceship the Impossible City and planted bombs. But the City told them it was an AI forced to work with the Combine. It claimed that the heroes' bombs wouldn't seriously harm it but it was going to commit suicide to stop the Combine ravaging other worlds. Unfortunately for the Earth this would trap the aliens here where they would continue to destroy other cities. The Avengers have vowed that *they* will stop the Combine but the City believes this is impossible.In Vatican City Thor faces Idol Alabaster who is empowered by worship that it induces in the populace, and uses that power to blast the Thunder God. But Thor says *his* power doesn't require worship, and he uses Mjolnir to call down thunder and lightning.In Toronto the Citysmith has caused part of the city to entomb Iron Man with 1 hand of his Mark Nil black stealth armour sticking out. But Tony Stark tells his suit's AI BOSS to initiate the program to imitate the Vision's density-changing ability, despite the AI's warning that the untested prototype will probably wreck the armour. It turns out that he's been waiting for the villain to come near to gloat. Now he phases out of the trap and then goes dense to punch the bad guy.In Sydney The Dead has animated the bodies of the dead and they're attacking Scarlet Witch. But Wanda Maximoff has deduced that the alien chose Sydney because of the huge old Rookwood Cemetery, and the sheer number of dead bodies powers him. So she casts a spell to take them both to Antarctica where there are very few human corpses.In Helsinki Meridian Diadem's troops are standing around watching the synthezoid Vision succumbing to density-manipulating coils emanating from her robot body. But now he accesses the computer code that Ultron embedded within him at his creation, code that he has learned how to resist. And he sends that code back up the tentacles to infect the villain.In Manila Lord Ennui sees Captain Marvel flying towards him carrying an oil truck. He reminds her that his entropy field will automatically disintegrate it when she throws it at him. But that's not the plan. Carol Danvers ignites the fuel and absorbs the energy.Back in Vatican City Thor used the thunder he summoned to render the people of the city unconscious. Now Idol Alabaster has no worship to feed off when the Asgardian attacks him.And in Toronto Iron Man continues relentlessly beating Citysmith up and then power dives him into the ground.In Antarctica, where Wanda reminds us that the only large human settlement is in the Savage Land on the other side of the large continent, she traps The Dead in mystic chains and encloses him in a coffin.In Helsinki Meridian Diadem lies twitching as Ultron's evil code overwhelms her.In Manila CM feeds so much energy into Lord Ennui that it overloads him. And as he collapses he thanks her for finally making him feel something.Last issue the Impossible City told BP and CA how the Citysmith had laced a parasitic nervous system through its body, and Panther used his AI Kimoyo Beads to trace the circuitry. Now he causes the bombs they placed to destroy only those parts of the ship. And the City is joyously free.Later the 5 alien villains are encased in 'amber' on board the City. We learn that they were originally prisoners here but then the City's heroic creators disappeared and the prisoners escaped. CapM wonders if they know these heroes but the AI reminds her that its memories were destroyed (by Meridian Diadem). The City now asks to join the Avengers (ie become their new base). They accept.Story 2:- The truth is out thereScript Kalinda Vazquez. Pencils Alba Glez. Inks Elisabetta D'Amico. Colours Matt Milla.In a church in the New Mexico desert Bonita Juarez sees a man praying to God to stop his Angels punishing him. He tells her how bright lights come every night and frighten his family and livestock.That night she stands watch as Firebird. But Captains America and Marvel turn up too because they've detected unusual electromagnetic readings and think it may be the start of another Tribulation Event (Bonita doesn't understand what they're talking about). 3 buzzing lights appear in the sky but then they head off towards Roswell. The 3 flying heroes follow them to where they surround a house in the desert.Firebird feels that the 'aliens' aren't aggressive, and a girl comes out of the house to say that *she* called them here by hacking into a telescope array. Bonita now persuades the lights to go back to space.The girl Zoila Rodriguez says that her sister Ines disappeared a few months ago (and she has no other family). She suspected alien abduction so she sent out a signal hoping to attract the ones who took her. Bonita offers to let Zoila stay at her place for a while. Meanwhile the Avengers will add her sister to their database and analyse the signal data the lights were emitting.

Twilight dreaming part 4
The Twilight Court have attacked the Avengers in their new orbiting base the Impossible City. But it's only a misdirection while their wizard boss Myrddin goes to kill Kang The Conqueror comatose in the med bay.His touch awakens Kang who he congratulates on warning the Avengers about the 1st Tribulation Event, the Ashen Combine. (The team defeated them in #3-6, and their AI base willingly became the Avengers new HQ.) Myrddin holds Kang down with his wooden staff as he reminds his foe of their last encounter (the 2022 Timeless 1-shot) where his Twilight Court fought him until Myrddin himself dealt a fatal blow, causing the Conqueror to flee through time to 'his' Avengers. Myrrdin calls them that because he believes they are Kang's unwitting pawns.Myrddin reminds him (and us) of their rivalry (as described in Timeless). They both seek the missing moment that no chrononaut like themselves can access. They both believe that moment is a locked door behind which lies a prize they call the Grail. And they both want it for themselves. Kang reminds *him* that the Tribulation Events bar the way to the missing moment and only heroes can win through them and unlock the moment. And that is why the wizard created his Twilight Court. Myrddin suggests that this is what Kang wants the Avengers for.He decides not to kill Kang after all because he likes the challenge of an opponent. But he's still going to tilt the scales by handicapping him. He uses the mystical/electrical emanation from his hand again, this time to delete from Kang's mind everything he knows about the missing moment and the Tribulation Events (helpfully explaining to his foe and us what he's doing). And he magically takes his leave just as Captain Marvel and Iron Man arrive at high speed (because they realised at the end of last issue that Myrddin wasn't in the battle).They're surprised to find Kang awake and angry at their failure to protect him. He tells them about the stolen knowledge. (He possibly only remembers that it *existed* because Myrddin told him what he was taking.) He calls for a status report from his armour which says it is fully repaired. So he causes it to envelop him and timejumps away declaring that the Avengers are once more his enemies.Later we see Scarlet Witch and Thor visiting Nightmare in his Dream Realm. He reminds them how he had the team at his mercy (#8) and only let them go because the Thunder God admitted defeat and surrendered. Wanda Maximoff says that she is the Living Darkhold and Thor is the All-Father of Asgard and as such they are easily the equal of a Fear Lord. Nightmare denies being in league with Myrddin, claiming that the wizard just took advantage of his attack on them.Wanda then claims to know that rather than being the Lord of Nightmares he is instead addicted to the fear they cause, and she asks what would happen to him if there were no more dreamers to prey on. Thor suggests that the dream he trapped them in (#7-8) was in fact *his* nightmare - the end of the universe. And his move wasn't an attack but a cry for help against that end. Nighty admits that someone is planning to murder the 8th Cosmos but he can't detect who they are. But 1 thing he does know is that the Avengers will either prevent it or cause it.

(no title given)
The Avengers are facing the 1st of the Tribulation Events predicted by Kang The Conqueror as the alien Ashen Combine attack 5 cities on Earth.We begin this issue as Black Panther and Captain America (Sam Wilson) continue their invasion of the Combine's orbiting spaceship called the Impossible City (which we but not they know is sentient, and it's giving us a continuous voiceover). CapA is flying through the huge 'city' (which *does* appear to contain buildings) and has still found no living beings. Meanwhile BP is planting explosive devices throughout it which will cause it to crash and burn up during re-entry. Sam reminds T'Challa that they agreed not to blow the blow the place until they were *sure* there were no lives to save. (There's still bad blood between them after recent events.)In Vatican City Thor faces Idol Alabaster who claims to be a god too, but only because he mentally causes the populous to worship him from which he derives power. Alabaster now tries to get the Thunder God to worship him too but it doesn't work. The flying 'god' easily evades Thor's thrown hammer. But when the Asgardian calls down the lightning on him he learns that the attack causes pain to the worshippers.In Sydney The Dead has animated corpses from their graves to remind the living of their existence. Scarlet Witch erects a mystic shield to keep them away from the fleeing populace. Then she sends 2 mystic tornadoes to shatter the skeletons. But when The Dead responds another 'ghost' rises from within Wanda Maximoff, the demon Chthon who she has imprisoned within her.In Toronto The Citysmith is turning the city and its people into a work of art. Iron Man opposes him  but the alien claims to be misunderstood and unappreciated as all great artists are. So he forms part of the city into a grasping metal arm and hand, followed by a giant earthen worm with metal girders for teeth that tries to swallow our hero.Back in the Vatican Thor sends storm winds to buffet his opponent. But Idol Alabaster repeats that the Thunder God daren't harm him for fear of hurting his supplicants. But he on the other hand is free to blast Thor with the power he has absorbed.In Sydney Wanda tries to convince herself that the voice of Chthon is just an illusion caused by The Dead. But Chthon reminds Wanda that she has had difficulty telling reality from illusion before. And that she has the power to destroy all the other Avengers, and she's used it before. Her angry response makes her lose control of her magics and the skeleton army attacks her.In Toronto the 'worm' gulps down Iron Man. And Citysmith transforms it into a tall spire with Tony Stark's metal-covered hand projecting from the top.Up in the Impossible City Cap and Panther have worryingly lost contact with the ground troops. We see Thor plummeting to the ground, Scarlet Witch overwhelmed by skeletons and Iron Man trapped. T'Challa assures Sam that if Wanda can't get them back to Earth he has a backup plan. Sam is sure there's no life in the city so they prepare to blow the place up. But then the City lets them know that *it* is itself alive.

Blood hunt part 2
In the Blood Hunt event vampires have blocked out all sunlight and are overrunning the globe. The current Avengers are busy with the main problem so meanwhile Captain America (Steve Rogers) has gathered together an ad hoc team (Hawkeye (Kate Bishop), Hazmat, Hercules and Quicksilver) to help the citizens of New York. They found that vampires in Nazi uniforms were capturing people who were than transported into an ex-SHIELD Helicarrier. And the vampire leader was Cap's old vampire foe from WWII and later, Baron Blood.Blood orders his vamps to kill the heroes but keep the 'cattle' they've just transported up. Hawkeye fires an arrow at him and Cap hurls his shield. The Baron catches both but finds that this version of the shield is edged with silver which burns him. Steve tells his team he'll draw BB away while they defeat the leaderless vampires and take the civilians to escape capsules 1 deck below. And he goads his foe into following him into an access tunnel.Hazmat advises her colleagues to close their eyes as she emits a massive amount of radiation in the form of sunlight which harms the vamps. Then Herc picks her up and smashes a way to the deck below, leaving Pietro Maximoff as a rearguard. As Cap leads Blood on a merry chase he asks him if he's behind the dark sky. John Falsworth admits that he isn't, but he'd already acquired the Helicarrier and his willing troops so he jumped at the opportunity. But he does intend to be at the top of the pile in the new order which will succeed the human world. Cap correctly deduces that he's kidnapping humans as foodstock.Meanwhile Hawkeye is ushering people into the escape pods while Hazmat blasts any approaching vampires. Jen Takada worries that they might be over the ocean, but Kate assures her that SHIELD's pods can float and contain emergency supplies and locator beacons. Jen asks if she fantasised being a SHIELD Agent as a kid, and a flashback shows she did. But we see the ejected capsules parachute down to safety(?!) in the City.Hercules contacts Captain America via Avengers Communicard to let him know the civilians are safe. Cap's plan is now that they 'neutralise' the small number of vamps they've seen and take control of the ship. At that point Blood catches up with him and tells him that he may only have the small number of active troops that he can feed, but he has many more to call on. And Cap sees a large hold full of coffins. And when he reports that to his troop, Quicksilver informs him that *they* have found another hold full of many more people in cages. Which Hawkeye claims is way more than the available escape pods can take.Falsworth enters the hold and begins to awaken the rest of his vamps. Cap tosses in a pair of grenades and leaves. In the other hold Hercules starts to rip open the cages. Quicksilver reckons the people need a stirring speech to give them confidence. He and Hazmat think this calls for Captain America. But it's Hawkeye who steps up. She says she understands that they're afraid because she too doesn't have superpowers, but the other Avengers do have powers and will keep them safe.Slightly singed Baron Blood tracks Cap down to the Helicarrier's control room (containing some presumably vampire burning corpses). Steve uses the intercom to tell everyone to hold tight, and does a hard right turn.

(no title given)
The issue starts with Captain Marvel (Carol Danvers) sitting on the Moon looking back at Earth and pondering why some heroes join the Avengers. She guesses that Tony Stark is haunted by his past and strives to have a net positive effect on the world. And immortal Thor is prompted to do it because of mortals' brief fragile lives. She herself does it for the beautiful planet. She also sees the title Avengers not as a warning to their foes but to themselves not to lose something like the Earth that would *need* avenging. She gets a call from Iron Man to say there's an incident, and as current chairman it's her privilege to put out the call "Avengers Assemble". We then see the new team attacking the giant Terminus at Project PEGASUS.This story will be interspersed with flashbacks to Carol recruiting the current team. And here's the 1st, 7 days ago in the Jarvis Lounge in the new (as yet unidentified) Avengers HQ. Tony lets her know that the members of the previous team have elected her as Chairperson and her 1st job is to organise their replacement team. Carol tells him she doesn't want the Avengers to be the world's policemen any more, she sees them more as troubleshooters solving problems and saving lives. Tony agrees that change is good after the God Quarry (Avengers Assemble event). She says the 1st person she wants on the team is *him*. He was expecting her to go straight for Jessica Drew (Spider-Woman), but she responds that Jess, Rhodey (War Machine) and Jen (She-Hulk) are her personal/Captain Marvel team and she doesn't want to mix the 2. She wants *him* to be her Executive Officer - she'd rather have him with her than against her (as in the fairly recent Civil War event. And also he's her AA sponsor and he needs support for his own current problems (in his own mag where he's lost his company and all his money). (But *that*'s mixing  personal and professional!). Tony agrees.Back in the present Iron Man briefs CapM on the foe. Terminus is a cybernetic being who's effectively immortal because his nanite spores eventually regrow him every time he's destroyed. And he's also got small Termini drones and he's currently attacking Project PEGASUS for their energy. At the moment he's smashing through defending conventional forces.6 days ago CM goes to Asgard to see Thor. Even though nowadays he's weighed down with the responsibility of ruling the place he readily agrees to be on the new roster. As far as this founding member is concerned he's a permanent Avenger. She asks him if her guess about his motivation is right and her (hesitantly) agrees. She thinks to herself that they *both* lead a pantheon of gods.In the present Carol details Cap and Panther to evacuate civilians from the Project while she and Thor take Terminus head on. The Thunder God boasts of his record at giant-felling and Captain Marvel advise the robot to stand down or she'll sick the most dangerous man alive on him.5 days ago she locates T'Challa alone on a yacht in the middle of the South Pacific. She dismisses his question of how she found him by saying that if he *really* wanted to hide she wouldn't have been able to. She reminds him  of recent events (in his recently ended series) where he developed Killswitch Protocols against potential threats to Wakanda including his fellow Avengers, but this led to him being deposed as King and as Black Panther. So she puts it to him that he wanted her to find him so he has a chance to make amends, and to become again the Avenger that he never stopped being.He too obviously agreed because he's here now saving people from wolf-like Termini. He correctly deduced they would be vulnerable to Antarctic vibranium. He guides Project scientists towards waiting autopiloted quinjets but takes the senior engineer with him to deal with the main problem.Still 5 days ago Captain Marvel finds the 2 Captain America's sparring in a gym. They indulge in what seems to be a running joke of all calling each other 'Cap', and she asks Sam Wilson to join her team. She tells them she's already got Tony, Thor and T'Challa - the last causing Sam to get angry (after their 'disagreement' in CA: Symbol Of Truth #5). So she says she now needs a Captain America, but she wants 1 who can represent the normal people and keep the 'gods' grounded - and Steve Rogers, Living Legend of WWII won't do that.Again Sam-Cap obviously agreed because the flying Cap is here cutting down flying pterodactyl-like Termini with a bit of help from Iron Man. CA says the birds in the area sense a large electromagnetic local field. Then giant Terminus hits Thor into orbit and aims his eye-blasts at PEGASUS. CA deflects it but the recoil sends him through a wall to where BP is keeping wolf-termini off his scientist. It's a prickly meeting but they get on with the job.4 days ago CapM locates Vision at the North Pole site of the Avengers recent HQ in the body of a dead Celestial (which has now relocated to the God Quarry). He's been thinking about the Judgement Day event where the reawoken Celestial judged all of humanity individually. The synthezoid now admits that he wasn't judged. Carol points out that many people were judged without being made aware of it. But Vizh fears that he was passed over because the 'god' considered him a mere machine. Carol doesn't remind the android that he's proved his humanity many times over. Instead she reminds him that he shouldn't care what a space god thinks because he's actually *met* his own creator (Ultron) and rejected *his* opinions.The pep talk obviously worked because Vision's on the new team and he's just retrieved unconscious Thor from space. He warns the others to stand clear and then hits Terminus with a solar jewel blast which staggers the robot. But it recovers and claims that it needs the power from Project PEGASUS because the Convergence is coming. Panther and CapA report that PEGASUS have developed an artificial black hole reactor which they believe is what the giant robot is after. But the attack has damaged the reactor's containment and the black hole will be released to start eating the planet unless someone can do the impossible.3 days ago Carol visited Scarlet Witch in her new home the Emporium in Lotkill NY (see her current series). Over cups of tea Wanda Maximoff agrees to be an Avenger again before being asked. She denies reading her friend's mind, she just knows her and the Avengers. And the team is the stable centre of her life so she'll always answer the call. (Except when she goes insane and disassembles them!)Now the battle mage is casting a spell to contain the black hole but the many em-fields generated by PEGASUS experiments are causing interference. They must get the black hole clear of the site. Iron Man and Vision are keeping Terminus occupied, and now Thor rejoins them. BP and CA continue to deal with the Termini. So CM decides to take on the new job. She propels the huge reactor slowly into the sky while the other 3 powerhouses stop Terminus from interfering. Panther warns her that it's dangerously unstable and she should get clear before it blows, but Carol can't let it go off so near the ground. And SW needs it further way anyway. CM continues to raise it higher as her compatriots finally have Terminus down. Sam Wilson flies up to catch her her when she falls. Wanda casts her spell. And the reactor explodes.Next thing Carol Danvers knows she's in a strange place which we are informed is 'nowhen, nowhere, null-time, the nothingness between moments' and it's where Kang The Conquerer is dying (from a wound inflicted in the 2022 Timeless 1-shot). He has a warning for her.

Impact part 1
2 weeks before Blood Hunt something from space slams into the ground in the Ural Mountains.Now in their orbiting Impossible City HQ the Avengers hold a debriefing meeting about the Blood Hunt event. Captain Marvel thinks they failed in their job to protect Earth but Black Panther disagrees. He says that they won in the end but Carol Danvers says they shouldn't have allowed it to happen at all. Thousands died (but Scarlet Witch points out that billions survived). CM thinks that it may have been the 2nd Tribulation Event that Kang warned them about (#2). The Ashen Combine/Fall Of The Impossible City was the 1st (#3-6). Maybe this was what Kang called Endless Night? So they should have been prepared for it. But now as a result Dr Doom is Sorcerer Supreme, the young Spider-Man is a vampire and vamps are all now Daywalkers. She stalks off in frustration. Captain America (Sam Wilson) thinks she's right, but Iron Man says he'll go talk to her.1 week before Blood Hunt a man approaches a petrol station and gives the owner a lump of gold in payment and a USB stick asking him to wait 10 days and then hand it in to the local news. The man appears to be Hyperion.Tony Stark catches up with Danvers atop a New York skyscraper. They are both recovering alcoholics and Tony was Carol's sponsor. She claims that she's stuck on step 4 of the 12 Step Programme, a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves. He wonders if she's just traded 1 addiction for another - guilt.Meanwhile T'Challa asks the City AI how it feels about having been taken over by Varnae and his vampires (in Blood Hunt of course). Cruel of the Bloodcoven compromised its systems, but more importantly it faced its big fear of being once again the servant of monsters like the Ashen Combine. It retreated into just obeying Panther's commands when he was turned into a vampire. But it blames itself now for not fighting back with its plastoid army. T'Challa says he understands. But he mentions the still-extant threat of their (and Kang's) enemies the Twilight Court (#7-8). And now the City mentions something new, that when they attacked it couldn't sense them at all.Wanda Maximoff is in search of Sam Wilson but runs into her ex-husband Vision in a garden area which he explains that he and the City have created. As synthetic beings they are both fascinated by organic life. She asks him his opinion on Carol's statement and Sam's agreement. Vizh says he agrees too. His striving to become a person rather than a machine has made him realise that the loss of 1 life is too many.Now we see the mystery man standing amidst ruins on Pluto. He decides it's time to return to Earth and end it.Sam Wilson has taken an Impossible City portal to Atlanta to visit Storm who he hasn't seen since last year's Annual (when they were on opposite sides in the conflict over Agatha Harkness and the Darkhold in that summer's Annuals event). He invites her to fly with him while they discuss something. He asks her if she thinks the Avengers failed the world during Blood Hunt. After some general questions she assures him that they did the best they could. She mentions her own part in a war (presumably on Arakko (Mars)) in which victory only came with losses (during the Fall Of X event). You can't save everyone but you should always try.Now Sam gets round to the real reason he came. He apologises that the Avengers didn't act sooner when Orchis threatened the mutant community. They should defend mutants as well as the rest of humanity. As such he thinks there's a need for a mutant on the team, and he thinks it should be her. (And coincidentally(?) lightning strikes nearby.)The last interlude is in Gainsville, Florida where the USB stick has been handed in  to a newsroom.Thor is roasting a pig on a fire pit that the City has created for him. Then he and the other Avengers see a TV transmission where Hyperion announces that he used to be Earth's greatest hero, but that turned out to be in a fake reality (created by Mephisto in the 2021 Heroes Reborn event). But that would make *him* a lie, and *he* remembers it as true. But if *he* is true then this Earth is a lie. He claims he can't tell which is really a lie, his life or the Earth. So he's chosen to end both by slamming into the planet at the speed of light. He's warning Earth so that its inhabitants can make their peace with their fate.This issue has a short backup story:- Deadpool and Wolverine: Weapon X-Traction part 6Writer Ryan North. Artist Javier Garron. Colourist Edgar Delgado. Letterer Joe Sabino. Editor Tom Brevoort.This is part of a series of backups in recent issues of various titles. The last was Immortal Thor #13.Deadpool and Wolverine were sucked through a portal to a parallel universe and have since been bouncing through a series of bizarre timelines. Along the way they've noticed that the universes they visit start to disintegrate (and they don't know that it's happening to Earth-616 too). Deadpool has reasoned that they've been chosen to save the multiverse. And in the last chapter he argued that they must have been chosen to do what they do best, kill people. They just have to figure out who they're supposed to kill.So now this issue they bop quickly through many universes killing as many people as they can before they're moved on (possibly on the assumption that they must be portalling in *near* their target).We see universes of:- Moustachioed gentleman superheroes. Ape superheroes (been there, done that). Spider-folk (ditto). Hulk-types. Mini-Galactuses. Another Thanos (starting to repeat).Wolverine despairs of this tactic working so DP suggests they each raise an army to kill even more people faster. Logan doesn't think this'll work either but they give it a go. It doesn't do any good. As another universe disintegrates and another portal sucks them away Wade Wilson suggests they fight *each other*, but Logan points out they started that way.But this portal takes them to nowhere and Logan suggests there are no more timelines left. They exchange recriminations and try to exchange blows. But they are too far apart, and in the void there's no purchase to move closer.Then a little girl appears and claims to be regretting giving them the assignment. They've no idea who she is.To be continued in Spectacular Spider-Men #6.

(no title given)
In the 1st issue Terminus tried to get hold of Project PEGASUS' artificial black hole reactor. Captain Marvel's new Avengers team stopped him but the reactor was damaged. CM carried it into the sky as Scarlet Witch cast a spell which contained the explosion. However Carol Danvers was transported to a null-time where Kang The Conqueror was dying but had a warning for her.Wanda Maximoff, Vision and Thor surround the black hole which is collapsing and they don't know how to rescue Carol. But then she reappear with bleeding Kang in her arms.We skip forward a bit to Black Panther (T'Challa) in Mexico City where Hydra are holding 50 hostages with a death-spore bioweapon demanding the release of some of their leaders. We learn that Hydra intend to release the spores no matter what happens. BP breaks in to the building and swiftly takes down all of the terrorists and then reports back to CM that it was as 'he' said.Back in the null-time Kang had been holding his guts in and waiting for when he knew Marvel would arrive. He said he had things she needed to hear but Carol didn't trust their long-time foe. So to gain her trust he gave her a list of 1000 people the team could save in the next 24 hours.In Central India Thor has stopped a train from falling through a ruined bridge into the river below. Many more lives saved on Kang's list.In null-time Kang admitted that he didn't care about those lives but he wanted to bribe the Avengers to gain revenge on Myrddin and the Twilight Court who killed him (in the 2022 Timeless issue). He told Danvers that the villain sought a prize that Kang had been after too. But if he gets it then the whole universe will be doomed. And Kang offered even more info about what was coming for them, called the Tribulation Events.Now Iron Man and Vision save an aircraft over Dublin with 1 of its engines on fire.Kang told CM about mass-casualty events that would hit Earth. He mentioned the King Of Magic, the Death Moon, the Cannibal Culture, the Endless Night and the Others. He didn't know the order of their arrival but he did know that the Impossible City would be 1st. But Carol was concerned about keeping *him* alive.Captain America (Sam Wilson) finds a trucker named Paul outside Pittsburgh who's about to take some pills so he can stay awake to deliver desperately needed medical supplies to Columbus. Cap tells him he's going to lose concentration in Zanesville and cause an accident in which he and 43 others die, and the meds won't get through. So now Sam will drive the truck while Paul gets some sleep.In New York City in the Jarvis Lounge Thor returns through a portal arranged by Scarlet Witch. She's been providing 'transport' and now all 1000 people have been saved, but she thinks they need a better solution in future so that she can be a field operative. Thor ponders whether they could use Bifrost, the Rainbow Bridge. Captain Marvel has been coordinating their efforts while keeping on eye on Kang's condition in his hospital bed, waiting for him to regain consciousness and tell them more.And above the Earth the Impossible City spacecraft comes through a warp gate.

Impact part 2
Last issue Captain America (Sam Wilson) went to recruit Storm to the Avengers as a mutant voice, and Hyperion announced to the world that he's going to commit suicide by destroying the Earth.The other 6 Avengers in their Impossible City base orbiting Earth have detected him outside the orbit of Pluto racing towards them. Black Panther reminds them that the various Hyperions that the Avengers have encountered have all been virtually indestructible and can attain near light speed, and this 1 is probably no exception. Captain Marvel reckons his resulting kinetic energy could crack the world in half. Vision estimates he'll arrive in about 5.5 hours but it will be difficult to track his exact path.Sam arrives with Ororo Monroe who hasn't accepted membership yet but is willing to help in *this* crisis. And team leader Carol Danvers knows just how she can. Storm goes to Merle, Alaska where a group of X-Men led by Cyclops have established a base in 1 of Orchis' abandoned Sentinel factories. Scott Summers invites her to join them but she says neither of them could now take orders from the other so she'll be better off in the Avengers which is more an assembly of equals. She's here for the services of an omega-level telepath, and since Charles Xavier is under arrest for conspiring with Orchis then Quentin Quire will have to do along with the last working Cerebro machine.Tony Stark says that the Avengers Deep-Space Monitoring Station can't locate Hyperion, T'Challa adds that the Intergalactic Empire Of Wakanda can't find him either, and Vision confirms that he and the City's AI can't predict where he is. And Stark doesn't know how they'll stop him even when the find him. Then the City relays a call from Blade, who enslaved it (again) when he was possessed by Varnae the original vampire during Blood Hunt. But Eric Brooks is calling because he's the only 1 apart from Hyperion (and Nighthawk) who remembers the world Mephisto created where Hype's Squadron Supreme were the equivalent of the Avengers (in the 2021 Heroes Reborn event).Scarlet Witch goes to visit Dr Strange and Clea at their Sanctum Sanctorum and brings them up-to-date on the situation. Clea's not inclined to believe anything Blade says since she had to fight him when he tried to kill her lover (Blood Hunt again). Stephen Strange reminds her that Blade was possessed at the time, and Wanda Maximoff adds that she too suffered at Varnae's hands - but Blade was an Avenger and she trusts him.Next stop is Bifrost, the road to Asgard, now guarded by Heimdall's sister Sif with her new designation the All-Seeing. CapA and Thor have come to see her. They both sympathise with Hyperion but they have a world to protect. Cap leaves the Thunder God with his fellow Asgardian and takes a City teleport back to base. Sif asks Thor if he's "told them" and he answers "Not yet".Back on the City base CapM finds Tony, T'Challa and Vision building vibranium hypersonic missiles. Blade told them Hype was vulnerable to the metal so they plan to detonate the missiles in his path. With the time-dilation due to near-c travel he won't have time to notice them let alone avoid them. At least he should die instantly.The 3 remote sites check in:- Storm reports that the 'mind' is online. SW says the 'soul' is online. And Thor assures them the 'eyes' are online. CM gives the order. The 3 mystics become 1 astral being and connect with Quire who's jacked in to Cerebro, and then they link up with Sif. And the magic/mutant/god composite locates the target and relays the coordinates to the Avengers. Iron Man and the City AI plot Hyperion's trajectory and Black Panther tells the City to teleport the bombs. The AI sends 1 of its plastoid avatars with them to observe and report.Carol and Vision both regret what they're doing, but Carol thinks Hyperion planned it that way. He wants to die but can't kill himself, so he set the situation up so the Avengers would find a way to do it for him. He never expected to reach Earth. Suddenly Vizh has an idea. The synthezoid asks the City if it can create a dimensional gateway in the path. The AI objects that they discarded that idea because the damage it sustained during Blood Hunt means he wouldn't be able to close the gate afterwards for hours, and Hyperion would just come back. Vizh asks "What if he didn't want to come back?", and then he explains his plan.But we of course skip that and just see it put into action. A gateway sends surprised Hype to a parallel universe which is now designated Earth-901. The plastoid avatar follows and communicates with him via radio waves. The angry foe attacks  but the AI continues to explain that this Earth was ravaged by the Ashen Combine and all its heroes killed, and that the Impossible City had been forced to bring the villains to it. Now that it is free of them the AI can make amends by bringing him here to be the world's saviour. And Hyperion gladly accepts the job.Later in a green area within the City Storm and Thor converse. He asks her if she has decided to accept Avengers membership. She says she's still thinking about it. He urges her to accept because they will need her. She notes that he didn't say 'we' and he confesses that he'll have to leave the team. He's having certain difficulties (in the Immortal Thor series) including being accused murder (of Roxxon boss Dario Agger and an imposter Thor created by Enchantress in his #9-10). He doesn't want the Avengers' name tainted by his problem. So he wants her to be the replacement Thunder God.

(no title given)
The Ashen Combine, the 1st Tribulation Event predicted by Kang, arrived in #3 and attacked 5 cities. 5 of the Avengers went to confront them while Black Panther and Captain America (Sam Wilson) headed for their huge orbiting spaceship base the Impossible City. Last issue concentrated on Thor vs Idol Alabaster in Vatican City, Scarlet Witch vs The Dead in Sydney and Iron Man vs The Citysmith in Toronto while BP and CA planted bombs to blow up the base which seems to be deserted. But at the end the City contacted them to tell them it was a sentient AI. And "we're all going to die".The AI continues that their brave friends are fighting its masters but they can't win because the Ashen Combine are very good at what they do, which is killing cities.In Helsinki the synthezoid Vision faces the robotic Meridian Diadem whose armoured minions gather up the populace to be punished for their 'sins', and the best of them will become more of her 'children' who fight him for love of her. She says they are willing to die for her. Vizh says that he too was created to obey his evil master but he rebelled. Now that he has KO'd all her servitors she won't be able to create more from the city's people. She claims to have innumerably many more but he says he can't see any. But then she opens the front of her body to reveal a portal.On the base ship the AI explains to his audience that her body contains a tesseract space where live all her janissaries. Idol Alabaster is projecting a field of worship-compulsion that will spread geometrically. The Citysmith's metrokinesis allows him to shape the city however he wishes including using it for offence or defence. The Dead animates the dead for psychic carnage. And in Manila Lord Ennui is the embodiment of entropy. They are all unstoppable.Panther asks the City if *it* is unstoppable too because soon his bombs will tear it apart. The AI responds that the bombs will only damage 28% of it. Cap A wonders why, if they can't kill *it* and it doesn't seem to want to kill *them*, did it say that they were all going to die. The AI promises to explain.But meanwhile we see Captain Marvel blasting Lord Ennui to no avail but he doesn't fight back. He says he prefers to let entropy take its course. And he emits his entropic field which accelerates that process and causes Carol Danvers to crash to the ground because he's absorbed some of her life energy. She throws a car at him but he absorbs the energy in its molecular bonds and it crumbles to dust.The ship's AI claims the Impossible City was built by other heroes that the Combine defeated. Then Citysmith created a parasitic nervous system that runs through the City. Meridian Diadem destroyed some of his memory core so he doesn't remember who he was. But they cruelly left him his conscience so he can be appalled at the crimes he is party to while being unable to act to stop them.Inside Meridian Diadem's tesseract we see a few of the battalions at her command activated to exit and attack Vision. They arrive all screaming "Kill for Mother". She explains that the natural chaos has been corrected out of them so that they now love order and being controlled. She also explains that she has gathered weapons from hundreds of worlds. And metallic serpents emerge from her capable of density manipulation, and so able to hurt the density-changing synthezoid.Meanwhile in Manila Captain Marvel is carrying the victims of Ennui's energy-draining 2 at a time to nearby Quezon City. Ennui points out that her efforts are futile. She asks him what he *wants*? He claims no-one's ever asked him that before. He says he's bored because nothing can affect him. He wants to feel something, and the nearest he gets to it is stopping others from feeling. But he admits to mildly enjoying her company.The AI asks BP and CA what ethical choice remains when someone is forced to continue to be responsible for the death of millions. It says that the only choice left is suicide. Their bombs can't kill the City but it will kill *itself*. This will prevent the Combine from moving on to ravage any other worlds. Unfortunately for Earth it will leave them trapped here to continue destroying *their* cities.Cap and Panther repeat the Avengers' oath that wherever innocent lives are in danger they will stand and say "No". And we see the other 5 scattered Avengers saying "No" too.

On an Italian battlefield, Spitfire and Union Jack are staging guerilla attacks against the Nazis while waiting for their comrades in the Invaders to rendezvous. They check in on the gravely wounded Paul Anselm and his friends who urge immediate medical care if they are to save Paul….
Meanwhile, the Invaders and the Avengers (disguised as various contemporary heroes) survey the Aryan Wall which has made Europe into a literal fortress.

Nick Fury and his Howling Commandos (actually just Dum Dum Dugan and Gabe Jones), and they make their plans. They board a giant drill tank and set out; on the way, Iron Man confesses to Captain America his guilt over opposing friends in his recent war; Cap assures him he was only doing what he thought was right….
A pair of soldiers report their failure in Italy to the Red Skull.

He has already slain these heroes and many more, and has their corpses pinned to the wall as trophies….
