Spider-Verse | Comics

Morlun and his deadly family of Inheritors are coming after every single Spider-Man of The Multiverse and chances of survival is slim.

Peter Parker is back in his own body as the Amazing Spider-Man after one of his greatest foe Doctor Octopus had taken control over it by swapping consciousness with him a while ago. Back in action after months, he also discovers that there was another girl named Cindy Moon, bitten by the same spider that gave him powers in the first place.

The moment she was freed; her existence is revealed to Morlun through her scent, he recognizes her as "Spider-Bride" and states that The Great Hunt has begun. So he goes to Earth-311, where Peter Parquagh AKA The Spider was doing a stage show at Globe Theater and beat him to submission before devouring his essence.

Following an incident at Horizon Labs, Superior Spider-Man ended up in 2099 of Earth-TRN588 as but is aided by Gabriel O'Hara, brother of Spider-Man 2099. He gave Otto a halo-agent, which is an AI form of Anna Maria Marconi to help him go back home.

However, he reached parallel universes to discovering his counterparts from other realities of Civil War, Fantastic Five, House of M and one wearing Spider-Armor MK deceased. He then bumped into Morlun's estranged brother and one of the Inheritors, Karn chasing after Spider-Man India of Earth-50101, whom he rescued and recruited into a Spider-Army.

Otto already has assembled Spider-Monkey, Spider-Man Noir, Six-Armed Spider-Man and Spider-Girl of "Old Man Logan" reality. He heads for the one from Earth-8351, who moved away from New York to Russia, have even killed Kraven the Hunter in past and was trained with Wolverine before being attacked by Karn.

Octavius arrives just in time to save him from imminent death. When the monster was chasing Cyborg Spider-Man of Earth-2818, the Spider-Army ambushed on him but he quickly threw them off balance. Cyborg and Six-Armed Spidey are taken down in a sudden sneak attack by Karn's Inheritor siblings Brix and Bora.

Fallout between the three Inheritor family-members creates a distraction that allows Otto and his team to retreat. Back in his base, he tasks Cyborg to look for anything related to these hunters. He then sent Spider-Man India and Noir to locate the home dimension of Karn while Spider-Monkey and Six-Arms go to check for more attacks.

Meanwhile, Karn goes hunting Spider-God Ai Apaec while recollecting past events of his family going against the Great Weaver. His brothers and sisters fell against Master Weaver and his mother paid the price with her life when he hesitated. A mask is placed on his face as a reminder of shame and he started hunting solo.

Peter wakes up on a call from J. Jonah Jameson shouting at him to go over Armstrong Park and take pictures of a villain who is wrecking havoc there. When they came face to face, Spider Moon-Man couldn't even land a blow before getting devoured by Morlun.

He then returns to his family on Loomworld and his brother Daemos confronts him about his recent hunt. Upon his sister Verna teasing him, Daemos states that he has been avoiding a specific thread of entire Multiverse but he former disagrees and tells the latter to stay away from it as he has saved it for last. Daemos then recalls it as Earth-616.

Peter Parker wakes up seeing Cindy Moon next to him, who suggests that he should move to another city as she can take care of New York. They go outside bumping into Looter in a Spider-Tank stolen from Superior Spidey, who is taken down by the arrival of Anya Corazon AKA Spider-Girl, Spider-Woman and Spider-Man 2099.

Mayday Parker as Spider-Girl, Spider-Ham and Spider-UK showed up as well to warn him, because he faced one of them and lived. In Mountain Wundagore, Daemos decimated Justice, Nova, Sun Girl and Water Snake of New Warriors looking for Scarlet Spider.

When he proceeds to feed on Kaine, he stabbed the hunter with spikes and actually hurt him, causing Daemos to realize that he is the Other. Three different Spider-Men came through a portal to rescue Scarlet Spidey. One of them appears to be Gwen Stacy, whom Kaine thought as a clone but Ben Reilly of Earth-94 vouches for her.

Bruce Banner Spidey bites the dust and Old Man Spider led the others away. They all regroup at safe zone protected by Cosmic Spider-Man, who came with infant Benjy Parker. In Ultimate Universe, Miles Morales is attacked by Verna and her hounds.

He is rescued by Superior Spidey and his team before they could feast on him. Peter Parker of Earth-616 is being deemed as the "Chosen One" by every other Spider-Totem, because of his track record with Inheritors. When he comes face to face with Otto, a fight among the Amazing and Superior Spider-Man will determine who will lead their creed.

The Inheritor family are currently after the receptacles of powerful totemic entities; The Other, The Scion and The Bride for a ritual to avert a crisis on them. They attack on them and only an unlikely ally can help the heroes save the day.

Aliens – Fire and Stone | Comics

In the year 2157, 35 years after warrant officer Ellen Ripley of Nostromo spaceship and her fellow crew members dealt with a Xenomorph incident aboard, Weyland-Yutani Corporation has set up Hadley's Hope, a terraforming and mining colony of 158 colonists on the surface of LV-426, AKA "Acheron". When an Alien outbreak occurred in 2179, no one actually believed they could survive the horrific carnage unleashed upon them. Engineer Derrick Russell gathered a small band of survivors to escape an impending massacre.

As those blood-thirsty monsters were slaughtering unfortunate colonists, with help from surveyor Nolan Cale and supervisor Genevieve Dione, they managed to hop onto a mining vessel Onager, headed to the nearest planet LV-223 but not before losing more men to those monsters. A few Aliens were able to sneak into their cargo containers without anyone ever noticing except Cale. Crews on board Onager finally made it to LV-223 with a shaky landing and the planetoid apparently has a breathable atmosphere now.

What they didn't know was about the Prometheus incident that took place on that lifeless rock long ago and how it was responsible for a new ecosystem.  Right after landing on that barren moon, Derrick tells a few men to open the cargo for supplies to send a distress beacon. Despite Cale's warning, no sooner had they opened the cargo hold, creatures hidden inside barged upon those poor survivors. Some of them are instantly decimated and others were forced to flee to nearby jungle leaving their supplies behind.

Surviving colonists set up camps, scavenge for foods and argue with each other on survival decisions while being chased by Aliens every now and then to meet their fate. Dione and Cale starts having issues over whether to constantly looking for safety or take an offensive stance but Russell decides to stay out of group affairs. While all of his comrades were falling prey to the Xenomorphs, Derrick managed to capture one of the probes mapping LV-223 that was previously left by geologist Sean Fifield, siphoning valuable data from it.

As the overrunning horrors were swiftly reducing their numbers, survival become a primary focus for everyone and no one paid him any attention. More debacles arise between self-appointed leader and death still followed them almost everywhere like their own shadow. He dives into researching the mutagenic Black Goo that mysteriously seeded life on this entire moon. Within a crashed ship, he would eventually discover an Engineer lying dormant in his stasis but can he survive until he finds the key of life?

Mysterious entity Pandora approaches Man of Steel to open Pandora's Box thinking he was the purest of hearts but it tries to corrupt him and she escapes.

He and his friends then rushes to Kahndaq to stop Shazam from trespassing there to spread ashes of Black Adam but it quickly sparked a fight between them that eventually escalates to a point where things get too ugly.

AXIS | Comics

Following Avengers/X-Men War, Captain America decided to form a team of The Avengers with human and mutant superheroes from X-Men. They were almost immediately troubled by Nazi super-villain Red Skull has stepped into war-torn island nation of Genosha to claim the powerful mind of Professor Charles Xavier from his corpse and to create an army to rule world in his vision. With his new-found psychic powers, Skull decides to re-ignite the age-old war between humans and mutants to eradicate the latter race from Earth forever but Avengers Unity Division came in his way.

Red Skull then escaped to Genosha, turning it into a secret mutant concentration camp where his army of S-Men tortures and ran experiments on mutants. Upon hearing about Skull’s activities, mutant terrorist Magneto arrives at Genoshan island nation to confront him only to be captured and tortured by Red Skull. Help came in form of Havok, Rogue and Scarlet Witch, who broke in to help him back to his feet again. In a blind fury, Magneto slays the entire fleet of S-Men assembled there as well as Skull himself with his enhanced power boosts from Mutant Growth Hormone.

Everyone present there thought his menace was end for good, only for the villain to re-appear as the terrifying Red Onslaught. As Red Onslaught, Red Skull spreads his message of hatred worldwide to wage a new "World War Hate". Overwhelmed by Onslaught's power, Wanda Maximoff briefly gave in to him and Magneto were tossed around to one of the camps where he finds Cyclops, Genesis and Kid Omega all captured. Genesis got stabbed by Ahab while Cyclops and Havok were fighting but then Colossus, Nightcrawler and Storm brings the cavalry of other heroes in.

In Los Angeles, The Avengers came across Plantman and are exposed to some sort of rage pheromone emitted by him. This caused Sam Wilson to insult Thor to get hit by Jarnbjorn, then Vision crashing Odinson through Quinjet and Doc Green getting angry. Sunfire suddenly attacks Wasp for no reason at all and then Iron Man finally put a stop to this madness by taking down Plantman. With other fractured teams of The Avengers, Inhumans and X-Men, Iron Man arrives to face Red Skull in his newest form but then the latter unleashes two Adamantium Stark Sentinels on them.

Skull had Tony secretly build those killing machines during Civil War under his evil influence to fight all heroes against his reign. When seriously outmatched by Stark Sentinels, Rogue suggested Doctor Strange and Scarlet Witch to cast a spell that would invert Skull's moral axis and let Charles Xavier take over to stop Onslaught but didn't work at first for Nova's lack of experience. They reassembled once again only to fall, when Magneto arrives with an army of super-villains to buy Strange and Wanda time to complete their inversion spell but Stephen is taken out and Doctor Doom stepped in to help complete the spell.

Now their moral axis reversed, major super-villains like Absorbing Man, Carnage, Deadpool, Enchantress, HobgoblinJack O'LanternLoki, Mystique and Sabretooth turned into heroes and Doom was gone. Skull's body was left behind and a stir caused among the heroes regarding whether to wake him up to free Xavier or let The Avengers take custody of him. Meanwhile, X-Men members of Jean Grey School For Higher Learning have gathered from Genosha by Evan Sabah Nur turned a new Apocalypse to rule entire mankind by releasing a gene bomb to wipe out existence of all humans from New York City.
