Venom – War of The Realms | Comics

While chaos reigns across Manhattan, Eddie Brock tries to stop the "War of Realms" without his Venom symbiote.

Shortly after discovering his cancer returning, Eddie Brock asks The Maker to remove his symbiote and it ends up escaping into a crowd. "War of The Realms" reaches to Earth in the meantime, causing death and destruction around. Eddie tries to find a safe place for his son Dylan Brock as monsters running rampant in New York City.

Now that he has no Venom symbiote to keep him safe, Brock plans to take Dylan to abandoned safehouse of Rex Strickland. They came across a Fire Demon nearing an alleyway and patiently waited for that monster to go away. Finding cover nearing a warehouse, Eddie sees a family being chased by Dark Elves that he decides to help.

He tries to drive those Elves to him to let their would-be victims escape and engages them in a brawl only to get stabbed by them. Leaving him to bleed out, they chase after civilians and then Dylan gets spotted by one Elf who attempted to kill him but got his neck broken by timely arrival of Brock while being observed by War Witches of Malekith.

Intrigued by his bloodlust and rage, one of the War Witches comes to Brock with an agenda when he arrives at Rex's safehouse. She casually melts a gun Eddie pointed at her and claims that he doesn't want a firearm but something else. So, she offers him a mystical Asgardian crystal called Dreamstone to conjure up a weapon that he desires.

Though Dylan warns him not to trust her, he reaches out to it and transforms into a Venom-like symbiote creature with crystal spikes and Nordic runes inscribed on its body, which feels very similar to his other, yet quite different. It starts to heal his internal wounds but Brock bites off an arm of War Witch when she asked him to serve Malekith.

Keeping his ward behind safehouse doors, Eddie goes out to fulfill his duty as a "Lethal Protector" of innocents. He finds a group of Dark Elves torturing civilians beside a troll and his newfound symbiote fills him with bloodlust. To settle scores of their previous encounter, Venom mercilessly rips them apart and decapitated the troll as well.

He realizes that his dark emotions are being manifested by power of Dreamstone and Brock even introduces himself to a civilian as Venom by referring himself to "I" instead of usual "we". Elsewhere, the hurt War Witch feels humiliated at Eddie's betrayal and she attempts to seek a new pawn in a dark apartment, who turns out to be Jack O'Lantern.

Eddie Brock continues to clear streets amidst an all-out chaos and his suit grows stronger as he flips over a Roxxon tank. An imposter who was humiliated by Venom in past, Jack is powered by a Dreamstone crystal and goes after his enemy. He hits up Brock with a burst of flame and mocks him for not do away with his symbiote's great weakness to fire.

Eddie doesn't even flinch by his enhanced suit or flaming bat skeleton and instead recalls his memory of almost killing previous Jack O'Lantern. He then sics a pair of Wild Hunt hounds on Venom when he wasn't able to get an upper hand. As he was giving chase to Jack throughout the city, he suddenly gets smashed with a mace of a Frost Giant.

His feeling of concern and love for Dylan starts making him weak and so, Brock recalls on more bad memories. He grows big to match sizes with them to finish them off and his symbiote even adapts to Jack's attack by shaping into Asgardian armor. Eddie's growing rage gives War Witch hope of eventually turning him into a war-puppet for Malekith.

Asgardian Dark Elf has some serious plans for Eddie Brock and his symbiote, who is approached by one of his War Witches. Her efforts to corrupt Venom with a mystical artifact miserably failed when he denies working for her. She then recruited an imposter Jack O'Lantern with same power-enhancements, who would gladly take the offer.

Despite Jack trying to take him down, Brock would rise up and get involved in Malekith's plan to take over Nine Realms. Meanwhile, his psychotic offspring Carnage prepares to make a grand comeback to New York very soon. War of The Realms will soon be followed by another new adventure of Venom in "Absolute Carnage" event tie-in.

Trinity – Dead Space | Comics

When an alien virus strikes Justice League Watchtower, Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman takes it upon themselves to save and humankind.

On his very own Fortress of Solitude, Superman brings along Batman and Wonder Woman to share about his recent life events after his encounter with Mister Mxyzptlk. He also reveals about the mysterious hooded entity her was visited by earlier who goes by the name Mister Oz, whom he thinks knows more about his life than himself.

Lately, he was even having dreams of fighting against his younger self, Superman of Prime Earth who just wants his own life back. Only for the arrival of Bruce and Diana, they are finally stopped. Aside from Lois, Jon and Supergirl, Clark told no one about these visions and Bruce suggests him to keep it that way until they figure this out.

This Trinity of superheroes has reunited only a short while ago and has already gone through a lot when Mongul trapped them all within a dream world that they made out alive because of a sentient being called White Mercy. Clark takes his friends back in Smallville looking for her but then are teleported to Watchtower via Boom Tube.

What they used to call headquarter is now in complete ruins, signaling an unknown breach and they discovered Cyborg being torn into parts. As Victor was losing breath, he was being carried out to lower levels of the satellite to get powered up but is ambushed by alien parasite infected Green Lantern Jessica Cruz and Simon Baz in midway.

Even under the influence of alien virus, Simon asks for help before Jessica blew a hole and sending them all to space. The Dark Knight and Victor's remains are saved by The Flash who came just in time. Barry reveals that it all started after a meteor shower that allowed these alien creatures to take over entire Justice League by storm.

Superman and Wonder Woman returns to Watchtower through an opening and comes across an alien Traveler who informs them about a deadly alien virus that has spread on board, which will claim Earth if not completely destroyed soon. Despite the threat of mass-infection, Clark and Diana are not willing to hurt their friends.

Batman and Flash gets attacked by an infected Aquaman out of nowhere, which forced Barry to take this fight away in spite of being slowed down by lack of gravity out there. Suddenly, the satellite starts moving from orbit and Man of Steel tries his best to somehow swing it past Earth when he is attacked by Jessica and Simon once again.

With a giant alien mother engagingly lashing her deadly tentacles at him, the Caped Crusader races against time in a desperate bid to get help for Cyborg and save his life. In his attempt of running from it, Bruce gets stabbed once but he totally ignores it in order to reboot Victor's system and regulate his heart before it is too late.

Arguing about lives of her closest allies, Diana eventually discovers a dark truth about the true origin of those extraterrestrial beings with a little help from her legendary Lasso of Truth when stumbled onto a locked chamber and turned into a monster.

Elsewhere, villainous witch Circe has lured Lex Luthor and Ra's al Ghul to form their unholy Trinity. Though reluctant at first, Luthor and Ra's both consider this assembly as a temporary alliance to know more about her plan after besting a vile amalgamation of Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman emerging from Pandora Pits.

Drax – The Galaxy's Best Detective | Comics

In an undisclosed location, Drax the Destroyer was accompanying his friends in the Guardians of the Galaxy to fight a coven of aliens to stop them from detonating a dirty bomb powered by magic. Led by Kitty Pryde, the new Star-Lord of the team, fellow Guardians members Groot, Rocket Raccoon, The Thing and Venom were fighting against the oncoming enemy horde. As always, Drax's ruthless efficiency has earned them an easy victory in the end and they decide to part ways for now to celebrate on their own.

When he wished to tag along, Kitty mentions that she is going out for some girl-stuff and Groot was going to disarm the bomb with Rocket. The duo of The Thing and Venom heads for a pub in Alpha Centauri, leaving him saying there is no more room. So, Drax decides to pursue his life's mission of killing Thanos and Rocket lends him his rusty space worthy vehicle Space Sucker! However, the ship's system failed and he is forced to crash land in an unnamed moon and then walked for long in search for a mechanic.

Drax – The Galaxy's Best Detective | Comics

He came across Ora's bar after walking miles only to meet and greeted by Terrax the Tamer there. Angry and frustrated over the matters he has been enduring for past few days, Drax decides to take his temper out on the former herald of Galactus for now. Surprisingly enough, Terrax is not here to fight and offers to buy him a drink. Though he is not much of a talker himself, he listens as his host describes how he was previously obliterated into nothingness and then found himself alive again.

As Drax was looking for a mechanic to repair his broken ship, the barkeep Ora takes him to her workshop and offers to fix his vehicle if he helps to catch a thief who has been stealing from her. He was looking for Terrax to help him catch the thieves and when they meet outside, Drax engaged in a fight against a band of slavers on street and Terrax joined in. Ora took out the last one while Drax unsuccessfully chases the goons to stop them from getting away. He realizes that he was actually roped in to rescue children from those kidnappers.

In the middle of these chaos and confusion, someone stole the Axe of Terrax the Tamer. Unable to get him up at his feet, Drax leaves a grieving Terrax behind while investigating scrap-metal thieves, also the reason behind a massive disappearance of people. He sees a couple of raiders plucking up pieces of his ship and gives a chase. One of the raiders led him to their secret hideout, where trying to free the tortured people, he is taken down. Eventually he finds himself in an arena against The Serpent AKA Fin Fang Foom.

Drax – The Galaxy's Best Detective

Considered as the tattooed muscle-head for Guardians of the Galaxy, Drax is rarely left alone to pursue solo adventures. So, writer CM Punk and Cullen Bunn (Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe, Deadpool Vs. Carnage) came up with a plot for Drax the Destroyer to send him on his life's mission that storyline is illustrated by artist Scott Hepburn for Marvel in 2016. Current members from The Guardians showed up in the story at the very beginning and Drax gets to tag along with a former heralds of Galactus; Terrax the Tamer for a very unusual team-up experience, who was thought to be killed off by Phoenix during Avengers/X-Men War.

With the revolution of live-action film franchise in recent years, Marvel is re-inventing their various popular characters by putting them on solo adventures in their own monthly series for a while to see how it goes. Also, bringing a legendary figure like Fin Fang Foom into this story for something that is very personal to him was also something that felt fresh. This storyline collects issues #01-05 from the first ongoing volume of Drax limited series and is then continued in the next arc titled "The Children's Crusade".
