Extraordinary X-Men – X-Haven | Comics

Storm assembled an all-new, extraordinary team of X-Men where she wants Old Man Logan and young Jean Grey to join.

When Thanos came to Earth last time, he came looking for his illegitimate son and had a clash with Black Bolt, the King of Inhumans. The latter detonated a Terrigen Bomb that not only destroyed New Attilan but also left Terrigen Mist in the atmosphere. However, it drastically increased their number while also severely affecting the lives of mutants.

Following this event, X-Men leader Cyclops have gone totally nuts and tried to start a mutant "Revolution" for dominance with a few of his radical followers who had the same belief. This irrational act eventually went horribly wrong for everyone and years of working to improve their public image by Professor X is completely ruined within moments.

Now, veteran X-Men member Storm finds herself with a burden on her shoulder to save her own race without the guidance of her mentor and former leader, Professor Charles Xavier. With the worldwide spread of Terrigenesis, humans and mutants are both dying from its exposure that causes what they are calling “M-Pox” or "X-Pox" these days.

As a result, the age old fear of mutants among humans has re-emerged once again. Meanwhile, a time-displaced Jean Grey from Earth-TRN240 was trying to find a plain and simple life on Earth-616 reality, gets approached by Storm to join their team, which she declined given her history of ending up dying every time as Marvel Girl no matter what.

When Icaman tries to talk to Jean to change her mind and failed, Ororo offered her to take a look into her head using the latter's psychic powers. She realizes that the outbreak of M-Pox caused by Terrigen Mist is not only killing their kind but also sterilizing them from ever to grow in numbers again and it can mean the end of the mutant race.

Mutant sorceress Illyana Rasputin aka Magik took it upon herself to scout throughout the whole world seeking for any mutant refugees in dire situation to save them from angry human mobs triggered by current mutant hysteria and brings them all back to X-Haven, the current headquarters of X-Men situated in magical dimension of Limbo.

Illyana goes to New Delhi, India, to save a family and their young mutant girl affected by Terrigen Mist from a tough crowd. She eventually rescued the family before taking a hit and brought them back to Jean Grey School For Higher Learning for safety.

Magik then heads straight to Lake Baikal, Russia, looking for her elder brother and former X-Man member Colossus to recruit him back to their fold during this crisis while their old pal Nightcrawler was being chased by a newly reformed group of Marauders.

Storm and Iceman were astounded to discover Old Man Logan is walking among them when he mistakenly attacked Cerebra, recently restructured within a Sentinel body by thinking it as an enemy. The old friends catch up quick about their current state of affairs before the young Jean finally meets with Logan to convince and bring him back to action.

Colossus and Magik investigate the disappearance of Nightcrawler only to run into the new team of Marauders and then attacked by someone Sinister. As soon as Illyana Rasputin fell, the magical defenses that she placed to defend X-Haven from Demons of Limbo attacking the sanctuary, collapses and the X-Men got a huge mess on their hand to clean.

The trail of mega crossovers and Universe shattering events like "Schism", Avengers Vs. X-Men and Infinity led to current status-quo of mutantkind in Marvel Universe. The death of Cyclops in Battleworld fighting God Emperor Doom during Secret Wars made it worse as the team is now scattered and disoriented without a leader to follow.

Comic-book writer Jeff Lemire (Thanos – Thanos Returns, Thanos – The God Quarry) and artist Humberto Ramos (Age of Apocalypse, Amazing Spider-Man) has teamed up to draw a new line for the beginning of a brand-new starting point with the story “X-Haven”, collecting issue #01-05 from the newly launched ongoing series.

Amazing Spider-Man – Graveyard Shift | Comics

Peter Parker returns home to discover Parker Industries being invaded by corporate saboteur and infamous super-villain Ghost.

Returning home recently after leading a group of Spider-People from Multiverse against an inter-dimensional murderous family of The Inheritors to victory, Peter Parker is back as The Amazing Spider-Man. Although not at his top form, Pete is more confident than ever to lead his company Parker Industries towards a better future.

Fighting over Morlun and his family took a lot of life force out of him lately and therefore, he was having a bit hard time against reptilian super-villain Iguana. Amidst his struggle, he gets a call from Aunt May, who was worried for not hearing from him for days and wants to know if Peter is still bringing Anna Maria Marconi to dinner.

May wasn't aware that he and Anna are not dating anymore, which makes him uncomfortable. He then gets a call from Anna shortly afterwards and when Iguana realizes that Spidey is on phone, his lack of mannerism greatly bothers him. Anna reminds Peter that he has been missing for days and now is needed for an important meeting soon.

His co-worker Sajani Jaffrey cuts in to tell him to arrive there and present his idea to committee for a prison contract. As he explains how people need to show compassion and understanding towards bad-guys, he was beating down Iguana. When Pete hears that they are competing against Alchemax for the deal, he quickly wraps things up.

Amazing Spider-Man – Graveyard Shift | Comics

Alchemax co-founder Liz Allan was slightly worried seeing Peter since he always manages to win in the end and wished that he wouldn't succeed this time. Overhearing this, her stepbrother Mark Raxton who was former super-villain Molten Man and Ty Stone then plans on hiring corporate saboteur Ghost to infiltrate Parker Industries.

During dinner at Aunt May and Jay's apartment, Anna Maria covers a break-up story for Peter and she had him change suit to swing back at HQ. There, Sajani was going nuts over Parker Industries trying to create a super villain prison is a bad idea but former criminal Clayton Cole points out that Pete is also focusing on reforming them.

They are interrupted by a security guard who reports of a system anomaly only to see Anna and Peter making an entrance. This really surprised her as she has upgraded system after Black Cat broke in earlier and was supposed to get a text from Pete. Sajani gets annoyed knowing they came through a secret door that she didn't know about.

In their security hub, Ghost has broken in and after sealing all exits, deactivated all means of communication to outside. He took out a guard and then turned all security measures against employees of Parker Industries. In an attempt to save his co-workers from bot attacks, Peter starts using his powers before changing into Spider-Man.

Meanwhile, former jewel thief turned tough as nails mob-boss Black Cat is set to establish her name in criminal underworld and since she can't steal everything, someone needs to pay. When her lackey Melter and Killer Shrike brought Ringer to her back room, she made an example out of him for due payment and trying to get a drop on her.

Trying to be one of the good guys didn't work well for Black Cat in past and she decides to take back what was once hers. So, she kidnaps Jay Jameson and May Parker alongside jealous millionaire Regina Venderkamp before stealing everything she bought earlier from an auction that once belonged to Felicia to set them all on fire.

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.

Spider-Verse | Comics

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.

Amazing Spider-Man – The Parker Luck | Comics

When Spider-Man was gone, the world has changed and Peter Parker returns only to discover someone amazing like him out there.

After one of his greatest enemies, Doctor Octopus living in his shell as Superior Spider-Man for months, Peter Parker is back again as the Amazing Spider-Man. Coming back, he responds to an alarm for robbery by The Menagerie; a gang of animal-themed criminal members led by White Rabbit.

They came here to loot an auction house with her accomplice Hippo, Panda-Mania and Skein. As he tries to confront them, Skein shreds up his whole costume using her power and he ends up stopping them buck-naked in public.

A few hours back, the first thing he does upon regaining his body is to attend a small press to explain how he is alive after a "Goblin Attack" on Parker Industries. Thanks to Doc Ock, his PhD is complete; he now owns the company and apparently is in a relationship with Anna Maria Marconi.

When he gets back to his apartment, Anna was already there and she figured out that he is Spider-Man by seeing footage of his bare body. He explains everything that happened and she is still baffled to know that she was dating a criminal.

Meanwhile, his buddies at Avengers Tower watched him back in action and even though Spider-Woman confirmed it really is indeed their old teammate judging by his goofiness but Captain America calls him to meet anyway. While they were running dozens of tests on him to determine if he really is the real-deal, they were catching up on how Doctor Octopus had mind-swapped with him.

Steve Rogers still remains a bit skeptical because he previously blamed being possessed by the alien symbiote for his behavior. Spidey hit him hard and lashed out at him when he learned that Steve was aware of Flash Thompson being active as Venom.

Amazing Spider-Man – The Parker Luck | Comics

Some of Otto's experiments on super-villain Electro have his powers malfunctioning and he decided to make a comeback. When he entered Conway Penitentiary to re-create his notorious "Breakout in Raft" act, he accidentally blew it up the whole joint.

With his powers gone haywire, Electro desperately seeks for a shelter and finds it on Francine Frye's apartment. Despite his warnings, she tried to kiss him and an uncontrolled power surge fried her. Driven mad by her death, Max Dillon goes after Spider-Man whom he believes responsible for all.

Also, Octavius had an encounter with costumed burglar Black Cat during his stint as a hero and he gave her a severe beating before leaving her wrapped in webs. She escaped captivity as a result of Electro's rampage and wanted to get back at Spidey for ruining her life by throwing her in jail.

She goes to see a confrontation between Spider-Man and Electro to help the latter using her luck power. Later she faced web-head when Max accidentally caused fire to a building full of homeless people and then offered Electro for a team-up.

Shortly, he joined assembled members of Avengers and X-Men to fight protect the city from Mindless Ones. They took down Exterminatrix and The Orb unleashes one of the eyes of the recently deceased Uatu the Watcher.

It shows him that, the radioactive spider that bit him thirteen years ago also bit a girl after him. The girl, Cindy Moon is later taken in by Ezekiel Sims and she is locked away to hide from Morlun. He breaks her out of a secret bunker and instead of being happy for freedom, she is angry on Peter for exposing her Morlun.

Although, the wall-crawler assures her that he took care of the totemic predator away for good, she insists that, he can come back again. Elsewhere, the villain senses her presence and declares of "The Greatest Hunt".

Cindy webbed up a costume for her and Peter learns that she is faster, has better reflexes if not stronger, improved spider-sense and they cannot get their hands off each other when in close proximity. She quickly catches on to the super-hero deal by adopting an identity of Silk and would probably save Spider-Man from getting his secret identity busted and his ass kicked.
