Siege – Dark Avengers | Comics

Norman Osborn is trying to keep his Dark Avengers together from falling apart and succumbing to his Green Goblin persona.

Shortly after being agreed to work with Norman Osborn and joining his Dark Avengers, Noh-Varr was enlightened by Ms. Marvel that these are just criminals and madmen he has surrounded himself with before leaving. Confused and looking for guidance, he built a device to communicate with Kree Empire and roaming in disguise.

Curious to learn more about human behavior, he approaches a girl on street named Annie and starts talking but is soon interrupted by arrival of The Sentry, who is sent here by Osborn. They two collide and Marvel Boy seems to have a tough time dealing with the Golden Guardian but he eventually manages to escape with help from Annie.

He later establishes contact with Kree Supreme Intelligence and is told to become a savior of Earth. He then received a new costume with a set of improved Nega-Bands and dubbed as Protector. When a search party came looking for him, they couldn't sniff him out in any way and Noh-Varr came to secretly meet Annie in an alley.

Back in Avengers Tower, Ms. Marvel saw Sentry arriving while everyone was having a breakfast. In his watchtower, Bob arrives to find his wife Lindy already pointing an alien gun at him and got his head blown off completely. He regenerates back to life right away as Void takes over his body and quickly prevents her from taking her own life.

Siege – Dark Avengers | Comics

Robert assumes control over him in time to stop him from doing so while trying to remind their deal of not touching her. Bob tries to hurl himself into sun itself but his body regenerates again and Void takes control. He returns to Earth, hovering over city of Manhattan spreading his dark tendrils all over and causing massive destruction.

Fearing Norman to slip into his Green Goblin persona, his secretary Victoria Hand tries to convince him to see a psychotherapist. She goes to handle a lewd situation regarding Bullseye and Moonstone next when they all see an unearthly darkness slowly engulfing the sky and buildings of New York starts getting wrecked by it.

Suiting up promptly, Osborn tries to reason with Bob pointing out that if he keeps throwing tantrums like this, people who are capable of neutralizing him would surely come after him. Sentry then dials down his temper and Norman sees a terrified Lindy Reynolds looking at them from Watchtower, deducing her to have caused this.

Later that night, he goes to see Lester in his room and tasks him to take care of her in time of his choosing. After one of Cabal's secret meetings goes wrong when Doctor Doom is threatened by Osborn and blasted off by Void. He then unleashes a locust swarm upon them and everyone in Avengers Tower is instructed to evacuate quickly.

Victoria Hand was seeing to lead everyone out while Bullseye managed to fly Lindy on a copter and complete his task. By the time he arrived back, Bob has dealt with Doom by then and asks where his wife was. Hearing that she has committed suicide by jumping off to sea because of being scared of him, Robert immediately flips again.

It took all of Ares and Iron Patriot just to keep him away from Hawkeye before Sentry decides to go over and find her. Victoria sees Bullseye giving a subtle nod to her boss on his way out, which gives her a clear idea of what has just happened.

Dark Avengers – Molecule Man | Comics

Norman Osborn and his Dark Avengers go up against Molecule Man without knowing what they are up against.

A huge change in status quo took place when Norman Osborn replaced Tony Stark as Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. following "Secret Invasion". He has assembled a group of deranged psychos like Bullseye, Daken and Mac Gargan as well as reformed criminal Moonstone to join his new team of Dark Avengers alongside Ares and The Sentry.

Although Osborn is fashioning himself as Iron Patriot these days, he can't be trusted due to his history of mental issues and therefore, former top cop of the world Nick Fury has recently gone underground to form his own group of Secret Warriors that includes young heroes like Alex Aaron AKA Phobos, God of Fear and son of Ares.

When his father goes out, Daisy Johnson came to pick him up but none of them realized that Ares was following them. Their trail leads him to a barber shop, where he found Fury and his new recruits in a safehouse. Knowing that his son has chosen to be trained with Fury, he leaves and Nick orders everyone to abandon base urgently.

In Dinosaur, Colorado, two girls comes to a small diner and is asked to leave by few patrons. One of them goes to restroom and calls her boyfriend and notices the mirror on wall starts melting when she touched it. She freaked out screaming only for everyone else to turn into stone and their car outside wore into nothingness.

Dark Avengers – Molecule Man | Comics

Turn out, one of those girls was daughter to secretary of state and he called Osborn for a personal favor to find her. His secretary Victoria Hand points out that many have recently disappeared from there. Norman initially sends The Sentry out to Colorado for investigation but he soon is overwhelmed by unknown energy and blew up.

This immediately prompts Osborn to rally up his Dark Avengers team and H.A.M.M.E.R. crews to scene but he sent Venom back due to his unstable condition. Landing there, they all get vanished and Osborn finds himself before Owen Reese AKA Molecule Man, who is surrounded by Beyonder, The Enchantress, Mephisto and Zarathos.

However, it becomes very clear that no one else other than him and Norman are real around them. Reese states his will to be left alone in this town and have no intention of killing him because, then Reed Richards will show up to somehow stop him for good but forced Osborn to go through nightmares when he objects to that idea.

The Sentry materializes once again only to be torn apart, Venom turns into puddle of goo and Hawkeye into water, Ms. Marvel turned into stone, Wolverine gets trapped in vegetation and Ares is frozen. Seeing this situation getting out of hand, deputy director of H.A.M.M.E.R., Victoria Hand decides to declare full surrender to Reese.

As she approaches, Owen strips off her uniform to see if she is armed and she appeals to him that he restores everyone that got vanished. He then took her to the dimension where he kept Osborn trapped in his own psyche. He sees himself in Spider-Man costume right next to a pregnant Gwen Stacy over George Washington Bridge.

Norman changes into his Green Goblin persona, seeing everyone around him is just waiting for him to make a mess and fall badly. Then he sacredly look at a trio of monstrous versions of Ares, Iron Man and Spider-Man. Sentry gets pissed off for being repeatedly torn apart after some time and managed to violently burst through Owen.

New Avengers – Powerloss | Comics

Distrust among The Hood and his gang spreads after his recent fall but they seek out a new leader to defeat New Avengers.

Trying to set a trap for Norman Osborn and his "Dark Avengers", members of New Avengers have found themselves ambushed by The Hood and his gang of criminals. Despite being outnumbered and their power dampener being trashed, they managed to get out alive and it caused a friction among Hood's gang regarding his leadership skills.

When Madame Masque was trying to point out their lack of discipline and short-sightedness, Wrecker corrected her by saying that they are all in for a "gig". He also raised question about how Hood knew that Avengers were here even though it seemed that they were clearly expecting someone else, which creates a rift between them.

Parker Robbins and Wrecker go back and forth about how they both were doing fine than the other. As they all leave, Chemistro found the wrecked power disruptor left behind and took it to Dr. Jonas Harrow. Later at their secret hideout, Hood didn't show up for a payday but then Harrow presents his device and plan to them all.

Bucky Barnes returns to his place to find it as a mess but never got to raise it during their meeting where Clint Barton suggests that they straight out kill Osborn. Spider-Man strongly opposes this idea, which is against his own values as well as Avengers' but Luke Cage proposes that they at least have a discussion about the situation.

New Avengers – Powerloss | Comics

Argument between Clint and Spidey started to get heated on Osborn and then Bucky gets a message for an emergency at Times Square. They see Chemistro randomly wrecking havoc on streets and approach him only to fall one by one. Mockingbird was only one left standing and she beat him with shield and gun of Captain America.

Then all four of Wrecking Crew showed up next, which was too much for her even with some help from Ronin and Webhead. As Wrecker was poking Cage, he and his pals are blown away by arrival of Sentry but he too, fell soon to the dampener. Osborn and his cronies join shortly and have a talk with Harrow, who shows up on his armor HUD.

He simply wants to renegotiate a deal with Norman that he previously had with Robbins and he wishes to present him the device in return. To show worth of his word, Harrow took down his Dark Avengers before disassembling Osborn's armor. When a deal is finally made between them, his armor is restored and his team gets back on their feet.

Just when he was about to ask Venom to eat Spider-Man, incoming hit from a Quinjet scattered them all. Bobbi Morse came to rescue her friends out of this mess right on time but Daken claims to have their scent. Luke Cage was not feeling very well and is taken to Night Nurse, who informed them that he is having a cardiac arrest.

Since they couldn't get through his unbreakable skin and needed the disruptor for that, Cage walked over to his enemies and collapsed. He is taken into custody and taken care of while rest of his friends retreated. Back at their secret hideout, his wife Jessica Jones wants to go in for a rescue but Ms. Marvel stops her telling they have a plan.

Earlier, The Hood went after Doctor Strange to take his Eye of Agamotto and ended up fighting New Avengers, which left him badly burnt and without power. Loki came to his aid in hospital offering him another chance and he promptly accepted. He and Madame Masque are led to Cuba in search for a power greater than he ever wielded.

New Avengers – Powerloss (Hardcover)

For twelfth storyline of New Avengers monthly comic-book series, Marvel Comics have assigned writer Brian Michael Bendis (House of M, Secret War) and artist Stuart Immonen (All-New Captain America – Hydra Ascendant, Ultimate Fantastic Four – Doom) to work on issues #55-60 from ongoing titular publication back in 2010.

Current narrative of "Powerloss" is set during "Dark Reign" crossover event and takes place almost simultaneously alongside previous story "Search for the Sorcerer Supreme". With a power struggle already tearing up criminal underworld of New York, villains have gotten their hands on a device that can strip anyone of their power.

End of Luke Cage?

After Parker Robbins briefly went away from scene, everyone in his gang has thought him to be gone for good and sided with Dr. Harrow. He arranges and demonstrates a show of what he can offer to Norman Osborn before handing him that device. The Avengers were caught in a trap without even knowing but then made it out eventually.

Only one greatly affected by that machine was Luke Cage, who needed a heart surgery and had to go back to Osborn. Though they treated Cage, a transmitter was put in his heart to make sure he follows suit when he fully recovers. More of this madness will continue to and even come to an end on upcoming "Siege" tie-in story up next.

New Avengers – Search for the Sorcerer Supreme | Comics

Although Doctor Strange is back, a search for his new successor begins with The Hood seeking his powers.

Now that Tony Stark is not Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. anymore, New Avengers are on the run because Norman Osborn is in charge of everything. Aside from running a new task force H.A.M.M.E.R., he has assembled his own version of "Earth's Mightiest Heroes" with their twisted and villainous counterparts as Dark Avengers.

Some heroes went underground and many like Clint Barton AKA Ronin became vocal about their opinion on Osborn in public. When his team tries to choose a leader, Barton is elected and he picks Ms. Marvel as his second-in-command. They ask for Spider-Man to share his real identity with them and he reluctantly does so after all.

Turns out, Jessica Jones was a classmate of Peter from high school and had a crush on him, which irks her husband Luke Cage a little. Before they proceed to plan ahead to take Osborn down, Doctor Strange arrives there to seek help. He barely survived an encounter with The Hood, who is currently after his Eye of Agamotto.

It appears that Stephen Strange is no longer a Sorcerer Supreme of Earth dimension as he used dark arts to save his friends earlier. He has been looking for a new contender for his former title ever since and met Young Avengers member Wiccan in New Jersey but their conversation is interrupted midway when he sees Parker Robbins outside.

New Avengers – Search for the Sorcerer Supreme | Comics

Strange told Billy Kaplan to run and attempts to face Hood alone but not only did he fail to reason with Robbins, he soon realized that his enemy has grown more powerful than he is now. Instead of running, Wiccan came out helping with his powers, allowing them both to escape from there and he came here to gather strength.

New Avengers insists on helping Strange as they were after Robbins, who has ties to Osborn. Meanwhile, Hood goes to Dormammu seeking help to ease his pain and meets Madame Masque. Not knowing what he's been up to, she suggests that they go look for Doctor Strange to get help and removes her mask before kissing him.

They all head to New Orleans trying to find the new rightful owner for Eye of Agamotto in a Quinjet that Carol "borrrowed" when she left Mighty Avengers. What Strange is mostly concerned about is that even people like Doctor Doom or Hood could be a candidate for being next Sorcerer Supreme and that would be disastrous.

On their way, the Eye suddenly activates by itself and starts display all of its possible holders before getting disappeared, most likely to its new owner. They are hit by a missile by Madame Masque, prompting Spidey and Wolverine to go after her. Logan ran into heavy fire and Spider-Woman engaged her until Captain America took her out.

In his apartment, Daimon Hellstrom was arguing with his ex-wife Patsy Walker AKA Hellcat over phone. The Hood comes at him guns blazing thinking he has what he is looking for but was unable to even land a scratch on him. They both get a glimpse of the Eye before it gets vanished again and Hood is cast outside from his house.

Their fight gets ugly pretty quickly and caught attention of The Avengers, who came in offering aid to Hellstrom. As Cage and Doc Strange try their best to contain the fiery fury of an unhinged Parker Robbins, who has taken a larger demonic form, Jericho Drumm AKA Brother Voodoo shows up wearing the Eye of Agamotto to help.

Dark Dimension Power Play

Even though Cage has been acting as a leader for some time, he steps down and Bucky Barnes simply didn't have old-school Avengers experience. In a not so surprising manner, Clint Barton gets elected as current leader of New Avengers.

The Hood, one of Osborn's allies and a herald of Dormammu becomes a major pain for heroes to deal with. Although he went after Strange to steal his Eye of Agamotto by force, Parker eventually ended up being badly burnt in hospital. A new Sorcerer Supreme is chosen and more bad news is heading for them in next story "Powerloss".
