Champions – Change The World | Comics

In New Jersey, at Khan Family residence, Kamala Khan was having breakfast with her family and was thinking about prior events that took place three days ago while her father Yusuf Khan asks her why is she not out much lately.

She recalls her last mission with The Avengers at Queens, when she was busy balancing a derailed train as Giant Girl in the middle of a fight against Wrecking Crew. She managed to save hundreds of passengers of that train while Sam Wilson and Jane Foster smites Thunderball and Piledriver of the gang down as Captain America and Thor.

As her teammates wrapped things up after taking down the bad guys, she asks them about their agenda on battle damage nearby and how their fight is constantly disrupting civilian lives. Vision agrees with her and points out how people are angry at them because of their recent internal skirmish.

They needs to earn that trust back. Her argument on the topic with Captain America has proved his points invalid to her as Ms. Marvel leaves the team while Jane Foster's Thor shockingly watched an Avenger quit again. Being bored sitting in home, she called her friends Miles Morales and Sam Alexander to meet her.

Champions – Change The World | Comics

At George Washington Bridge, when Miles and Sam showed up as Spider-Man and Nova, they thought Ms. Marvel was about to request them to re-join The Avengers but she reveals that she already quit. Kamala explains to them that they should be forming a team who actually cares about super-heroics and can make an actual difference.

Miles suggests enlisting extraordinary young hero Amadeus Cho AKA Totally Awesome Hulk to their team. Cho was inside a Kentucky hills coal mine at that time for a rescue mission, where Ms. Marvel, Nova and Spidey showed up to lend their hands.

With some coordinated plan, there four successfully rescued the miners trapped inside and Cho then vouched for his gaming partner Viv Vision to be included as well. Riding in Cho's Meat Wagon, they all reached at Vision's house and Amadeus explains to the three ex-Avengers how they need to tap into worldwide events to get involved.

He suggested making Viv as their personal trouble-alert because of her built in Wi-Fi multiprocessors. To demonstrate her ability of filtering urgent problems from web, Viv picked up footage of captive girls in a cargo seeking help.

They all quickly rushed to the source of that video transmission to confront a demented clown called Pagliacci with his crews to stop them from deporting those captive girls. After they successfully foiled his attempt of human trafficking, Kamala announces themselves on behalf of her friends as The Champions by handing Pagliacci over to authorities.

However, while they celebrate their first victory and there is more to come, there is one more member to add to their ranks who is none other than a time displaced young X-Men leader Cyclops.

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.

A Sinister Nightmare Returns

As a part of the "All-New, All-Different Marvel" event, the new Extraordinary X-Men monthly series offers a fresh spot for new readers while also hinting back to the past events that leads to current affairs.

Then there was trouble in Limbo that needed to taken care of, a new group of Marauders abducting X-Men members, severed tail of Nightcrawler, strange apparition of Professor X and someone from the shadows plans something sinister about their future. The series serves the next arc as a tie-in with "Apocalypse Wars" crossover event.

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.
