The Mighty Thor – The Galactus Seed | Comics

The "Siege of Asgard" led by Norman Osborn led The Sentry turning into his other persona, The Void, an Angel of Death who left Asgard in ruins like never before. In post-war, Odin All-Father sends Thor and Lady Sif in the furthest depths of Asgard to retrieve an ancient artifact called Worldheart; which is an immensely powerful cosmic heart giving birth to the world tree Yggdrasill, that later spawned the nine realms.

While retrieving it, Thor sustained injuries from the worm-like creatures defending it. His brother Loki came to his aid and they successfully retrieve the heart. The all-seeing Heimdall confronts Odin about the artifact and its origin. Odin discloses to him about an apocalyptic prophecy and then places the heart inside the Destroyer Armor for safekeeping. While the whole Asgard gathers to celebrate this feat, Thor remains mildly distracted with his gut-wound that glows instead of bleeding.

Silver Surfer has been a herald of Galactus for a long-time and his true intention of serving the destroyer of worlds is to let him feed onto barren planets that are dead for millennia, thus sparing the ones with sentient life forms in it. Now, he heads towards Asgard sensing the power of the Cosmic Seed and demands it from Odin.

This sparks a sudden heated confrontation between him and the thunder god until he explains his intention of using it to sate the hunger of Galactus forever. Warning the Asgardians that his master will come for the seed, Surfer leaves. For the final showdown, an elderly god must face the great devourer. It's Odin Vs. Galactus.

New Avengers – Civil War | Comics

In wake of superhero Civil War, New Avengers are about to go to war with each other over their beliefs.

Following tragic events of "Stamford Incident", government issued Superhuman Registration Act that requires all individual with superpowers to have their secret identity revealed and work for them. Whereas Iron Man thinks this is a reasonable idea, Captain America refused to hunt down his fellow heroes and went AWOL.

Now that he is a known fugitive, S.H.I.E.L.D. sends a group of "Cape-Killers" agents after him along with his friend Dum Dum Dugan. He barely managed to escape and meet Sam Wilson AKA Falcon on a safe-house. They went to see Henry Pym to seek help but he called authority and Cap made a mess out of him on his way out.

Iron Man and Ms. Marvel goes to see Luke Cage, asking him whether he is willing to sign but he refuses to and waits at his home in Harlem after sending Jessica Jones with his kid to Canada. At midnight, S.H.I.E.L.D. agents came knocking down at him and he fought until Captain America came to take him alongside Daredevil and Falcon.

Spider-Woman finds herself torn between being a double agent for both Hydra and S.H.I.E.L.D. She goes into hiding and got a surprise visit from Nick Fury, which turns out to be an LMD that is controlled by Maria Hill. She is taken into custody by force but Hydra raids the Helicarrier she was in to abduct her and took her to Hydra Island.

She is greeted by her handler Connely, who wishes for her to take over their organization by replacing Viper. She fights him and a couple of agents before blowing up that entire island straight to hell before leaving. Back in New York, she goes to the safe-house where Cap was building a resistance of heroes and begs to take her in.

Long after locking himself up, The Sentry has recently found new purpose after joining New Avengers but is torn between his friends going into a superhero "Civil War" despite having sided with Iron Man. Considering any of his action can spell doom for them all, he chose to fly to moon seeking peace only to be attacked by Inhumans.

Right after he incapacitates them, Bob has been summoned by their king Black Bolt and over dinner, they all catch up to current events. He was asked to stay the night there and Royal Family member Crystal was pursuing to resume their former relationship from long ago until Iron Man showed up at their doorstep to take Sentry back.

Outside of Avengers Tower, a guy hacks into suits of stationed S.H.I.E.L.D. guards that froze and cause them to fell. He then walks into the building by passing every security measures to reach to top and come across Edwin Jarvis. Seeing him trying to reach for alarm, the man shot him and turned to see Iron Man standing behind him.

Though startled, he immediately shut Tony down with an override code and he falls flat in his suit. He turns out to be a former disgruntled employee who is sick of current conflict of heroes and berates Tony for going up against him. According to him, Stark is ashamed and is hiding behind his technology that he wears as armor.

Tony pints out that killing him will only make him a martyr but his guest has some other ideas, which revolves around an Antimatter generator. From Helicarrier, S.H.I.E.L.D. observes an anomaly in guard formation at Stark Tower and Maria Hill is called in. After some inspection, she deployed her units to go there and check in on Stark.

New Avengers – Civil War (Softcover)

New Avengers – Civil War (Hardcover)

A "Civil War" is breaking down superhero communities and former friends now stand rivals in terms of ideal. Marvel Comics hires writer Brian Michael Bendis (House of M, Secret War) to continue his run of New Avengers monthly ongoing comic-book series for its fifth storyline as a tie-in to titular event, collecting issues #21-25.

Bendis was aided by artists Howard Chaykin (Punisher War Journal – Jigsaw, Wolverine – The Death of Wolverine), Jim Cheung (X-Force, Young Avengers), Leinil Francis Yu (Infinity, Secret Invasion), Olivier Coipel (Thor – Rebirth, X-Men – Primer) and Pasqual Ferry (Ultimate Fantastic Four, Ultimate Iron Man II) on individual issues.

With their newly reformed team broken up because of a law, heroes are fighting among themselves over ideologies other than bad guys. Superhuman Registration Act has affected each of their lives in different ways but they are still regrouping, forming resistance against authority and fighting their ground till the end.

Since every renowned cape wearer is in conflict with their rival group, it may seem like villains are taking a back seat but all they are doing is preparing for something very big soon. A much larger plot has been developed by a sinister party that will affect heroes even more than they can even think of in upcoming "Revolution" storyline.

House of M | Comics

It seems that she is still having deep remorse over causing The Avengers team to scatter before she was forced into a deep sleep by Xavier, who expresses doubts on how long she can be contained to her father Magneto. The Avengers and other heroes have gathered to decide her fate and the majority have decided to eliminate her. Though, the majority of the crowd decided to end her life for the sake of world, Captain America asks them to look for an alternate solution that doesn't need killing her.

Wolverine steps up to volunteer for the job as no one else has the guts to do it. Others are worried about if the words of her insanity gets out on public, the existing human-mutant relationship will set back to ages. To save his sister from execution, a desperate Quicksilver begs his father to save Wanda from the crowd but got denied. As the heroes were looking for Wanda to ask for her decision over the matter, suddenly they all started vanishing into a blinding white light.

When the light is gone, everyone else discovers them in a new world with no memory of the previous event and a reality that they all desired. Spider-Man finds himself married to Gwen Stacy and Uncle Ben is alive too. Hawkeye is still alive here and works for underworld boss Luke Cage. The X-Men or The Avengers doesn't even exist and S.H.I.E.L.D.'s in-charge Wolverine has noticed this change of reality. Mystique has two kids; Rogue and Nightcrawler and currently in an affair with Logan. On top of everything, this new world is ruled by Mutants, not humans.

Wolverine goes on an investigation to get some answers and is captured by Luke Cage. He recalls how Wanda's psychic breakdown took the life of Ant-Man, Hawkeye, Jack of Hearts and Vision, then destroyed The Avengers. The folks present there believes his theory because apparently, a mutant girl named Layla Miller can show them the reality. Rest of the heroes of this world is assembled and awakened from their illusion to confront Magneto and finally end this falsehood forever.
