Featuring a plethora of guest stars (including Daredevil, who embarrasses himself in front of the youths by referring to himself as the “scarlet swashbuckler”.)
THUNDERBOLTS #8: While Citizen V untangles bureaucratic red tape to get ahold of the Avengers’ files, the rest of the team fights for their lives against their captors, the Elements of Doom. But only Songbird is unshackled, and Techno is already dead… mostly.
THUNDERBOLTS #6: Baron Zemo—I mean, Citizen V—is concerned that his teammates are becoming too attached to the notion of being heroes, and vows to remind them of who they really are. Plus: the Elements of Doom strike fear into the heart of the city!
FANTASTIC FOUR #10 (1997): The FF and the Inhumans face off against Maximus in the caves beneath Attilan, and he has his sights set on Crystal. Johnny, already enamored with her, doesn’t take this sitting down.
HEROES FOR HIRE #4: Hercules is off the team and Luke Cage is on it! They go up against Killer Shrike, Whiplash, Orka, and Shockwave… but that’s just a warmup for the U-Foes and the Controller, doing the bidding of the Master.
HEROES FOR HIRE #3: The Master intends to save the world by killing 70% of the population (take THAT, Thanos)—& he wants Luke Cage to help by joining the Heroes for Hire & spying on them. Hercules is still out of control, meanwhile, and may prove a danger to himself and the team.
