As they were taking on racial zealot group Sons of the Serpent, one of their members shot Hulkling. When Captain America, Iron Man and Ms. Marvel reach there, one terrorist threatens them all with a nuclear weapon strapped to his back. To protect his boyfriend, Billy Kaplan sets off a power surge, rendering all Serpent members comatose.

Given Billy have no idea of what he just did; The Avengers suggest that he stays with them as they do not want to deal with another Scarlet Witch situation and explained how Wanda Maximoff went crazy after losing her twin sons. Surprised by this revelation, Wiccan concludes that he and Speed are likely to be her lost siblings.

Also, he is frustrated that his idols never even bothered to investigate whether or not she was truly responsible and leaves. However, Cap beat him to home and convinced his parents to let him stay with The Avengers. On their way, Hulkling showed up insisting to stay by his side since they are partners and Captain America simply agrees.

Avengers – The Children's Crusade | Comics

Stature suggests that they try to find Scarlet Witch instead so she knows that that her kids are alive and may be able to reverse her actions, possibly bringing her father back to life. Agreeing to her point, Magneto arrives out of nowhere to meet his grandsons and seek help from them to find his daughter as they are the only links to her.

When he attempted to take them to Wundagore Mountain in Transia, Patriot and rest of their team opposes only to be intervened by New Avengers. Wiccan tries to reason with them seeing Magneto and Wolverine quickly getting into a heated battle but when no one was ready to listen to him, he teleports all of his friends to Transia.

Patriot is upset at Billy as he has now made them all fugitives but Hawkeye states that they should stick together as a team. They start looking for clues at the grave of Magneto's former wife Magda and as soon as Wiccan begin to pick a trail of Wanda Maximoff, Speed races to nearby village area and ran into his uncle, Quicksilver.

What he does next is to race back at his father and starts throwing stakes at him, one of which impales a woman who looks like Wanda. It turns out to be a Doombot and everyone assumes that Doctor Doom has kept her a prisoner all along. Magneto believes that they couldn't find her until now probably because of Doom's powerful magic.

Meanwhile, The Avengers called in former member Wonder Man to help them find Wanda but he is not willing to help seeing Logan being too eager to kill her. After a heated exchange, He punched Wolverine down a level and he leaves to find her. Unwilling to help them find her or rejoin their ranks, Simon leaves briefly to find her as well.

Magneto suggests that they all invade Castle Doom but Patriot and Quicksilver opposes this idea of starting a war. Billy proposes to do a recon using magic and tries to do so at night even after everyone was against this idea. He eventually visits Latveria alone in a disguise but his cover is blown off by Wanda, who is betrothed to Doom.

Soon as they mentioned him, Doctor Doom appears and despite his belief, Wanda Maximoff was seemingly living here on her own free will. After knocking Wiccan out, Doom asks her to get married the next day. Outside of his castle, Magneto was making plans with Quicksilver and Young Avengers to storm his stronghold somehow.

Doom heals up Billy and relieves him off his powers as he explains how she came to him earlier seeking help. Before Magneto and his allies could lead an assault, The Avengers and Wonder Man arrive there. Curious to know about her past as Scarlet Witch and seeing Victor behaving differently, Wanda showed him out in her wedding dress.

When stepped outside, they see heroes are surrounded by an army of Doombots as they are trying to fight against Doom. Amidst this chaos, Wolverine sneaks up on Wanda and attempted to gut her down for what she did to millions of mutants before getting blasted off by Iron Lad, who has returned back from future to save Wiccan.

When things get heated up, he escapes into timestream with his friends and got back to the day Jack of Hearts blew up Avengers Mansion. They see Scott Lang AKA Ant-Man and they were able to save him before Jack explodes inevitably. Somehow they all return to present time and apparently Wanda Maximoff remembers everything now.

Regaining her powers, she conjures up a fleet of Kree ships and Ultron robots to attack her but her sons managed to calm her down. Beast, Hawkeye and Jessica Jones arrives to witness her reappearance and informs The Avengers. Young Avengers are worried that Logan is not ready to give her a second chance and intends to kill her.

Beast proposes that if she could restore powers of all depowered mutants who volunteers and they contacts X-Factor. Rictor agrees to be a guinea pig despite refusal from Madrox and even got his powers back. She intends to do that to all mutants who wants their power back and they all notices that X-Men are already here to get her.

A fight breaks down when The Avengers came to take custody of her and Wanda decides to seek help from Dr. Doom. She uses her godlike powers to access Life Force to undo her mistakes with help from her betrothed and Wiccan. Victor Von Doom stole her power to become omnipotent and gets opposed by all heroes.

Avengers – The Children's Crusade (Softcover)

Avengers – The Children's Crusade (Hardcover)

Set in motion following "Avengers Disassembled" event, Marvel Comics has been planning "The Children's Crusade" with writer Allan Heinberg (Young Avengers – Family Matters, Young Avengers – Sidekicks) and artist Jim Cheung (Astonishing X-Men – Life of X, Avengers & X-Men – Axis) on board long before it was published in 2012.

Though Young Avengers have been there during some recent major crossovers, they never had a definitive event of their own. In quest for Scarlet Witch, who disappeared after altering reality during "House of M" and then depowering millions of mutants in a whim, Speed and Wiccan has found their believed mother and reunited with her.

After a newly reformed Magneto learns of these two from Dr. Nemesis, he approached Cyclops to know more about them. Wolverine warns him to stay away from those kids before walking away but Erik Lehnsherr paid them a visit anyway. Following a tussle with The Avengers, he even managed to enlist their help in finding his daughter.

Tension among Maximoff family has been an all time high; especially between Magneto and Quicksilver, considering the former tried to kill the latter last time they met. Victor Von Doom coming out as real culprit behind falling of Avengers by manipulating Wanda from very beginning was a real surprise and so was return of Ant-Man.

Doctor Doom ascending to godhood and becoming even more powerful than he was before by stealing Beyonder's power before in "Secret Wars" was a predictable threat. In a way, "The Children's Crusade" has paved paths for "Avengers Vs. X-Men" event with a brief yet intense skirmish within two super-hero teams, which took place afterwards.

Astonishing Spider-Man & Wolverine (Hardcover)

Astonishing Spider-Man & Wolverine is a six issue limited series from Marvel Comics that came out in 2010, written by Jason Aaron (Avengers Vs.

Another Fine Mess

The artwork and the story concept of the series were highly praised even though the whole story might seem a little bit complex and oddly placed. The series was also just a trip to another direction that weren't actually going anywhere while featured the special appearance of some other lesser-known Marvel characters as well.

Commander Steve Rogers assembled The Avengers once again when Kang The Conqueror has come crushing the party from the future to seek help!

In a distant future, villainous Immortus falls onto his knees before five shadowy figures and pleading how he was there at their birth and will be present to witness them dying. Once regarded as Master of Time, he is killed by a bolt of lightning.

To assemble all heroes and re-form The Avengers once again after the fall of Norman Osborn and his Dark Avengers following their Siege on Asgard, Captain Steve Rogers rallies together a group of heroes to become a band of heroes the world needs right now.

Avengers – Next Avengers | Comics

Then he explains, in a future timeline, where Ultron has ruled all by destroying all heroes and establishing his own utopia, only for the children of the Avengers to rise up to its tyrannical rule and then took over his empire but without any guidance, these gifted youngsters have ushered such ruthlessness that needs to be stopped before it's too late.

Trying to stop Ultron before the children could do so with different allies and weapons, only to fail many times over; Kang came seeking help from The Avengers but knowing they probably wouldn't trust him, leaves them to find their own way to future and told them that they would know how to look into future when their team is complete.

In Avengers Tower, Noh-Varr finishes making the device and it starts projecting visions of possible futures, they see Immortus being executed by their children, the Next Avengers. Before that timestream collapses, they see an elderly Hulk, who calls himself Maestro and as they prepare to travel to future, Wonder Man comes crushing.

While his old friends are in awe seeing him getting jumpy, he explains how the superhero Civil War, Secret Invasion of the Skrulls and Osborn's Dark Reign were all the result of their own reckless actions over the years, which is why they should disband themselves for the collective good of everyone before getting blasted off by Marvel Boy.

Tony asks Noh to rebuild his machine and then a future version of Apocalypse appears through timestream with his four horsemen. Chaos breaks in all of a sudden but the crowd shortly realizes that the Eternal Mutant is here because time is broken. Iron Man tries to talk to En Sabah Nur but he and his Horsemen are then pulled to elsewhere.

Maria Hill suggests Captain America, Iron Man, Marvel Boy and Wolverine head to their apocalyptic future. She then sends Hawkeye, Spider-Man, Spider-Woman and Thor to New York City to cross paths with Killraven and Devil Dinosaur. Followed by an invasion of Martians, even the mighty cosmic devourer Galactus makes a surprise appearance.

Avengers – Next Avengers (Softcover)

Avengers – Next Avengers (Hardcover)

Two of the greatest comics talent of the comic-book industry, writer Brian Michael Bendis (Age of Ultron, Avengers Disassembled) and artist John Romita Jr. (Avengers Vs. X-Men, World War Hulk) teamed up in 2010 for Marvel Comics to revamp one of the greatest superhero team in comics, The Avengers with a brand-new ongoing series.

Even though the first issue of the story rallied up a huge roster of superheroes together, a smaller group of them actually got involved into plot. Many of the assembled members from New Avengers, X-Men and Young Avengers team would not even appear to rest of the book but most probably reserved for near future appearances.

Menace From Beyond Time

"Next Avengers" takes place on the fourth monthly ongoing volume Avengers comic series, collecting issues #01-06. Bendis sets up a premise on future crisis where Kang the Conqueror is troubled with next generation of young heroes and Ultron has finally succeeded in destroying all life-forms by crushing every resistance on his maniacal way.

It eventually paved the way for a new Heroic Age in Marvel Universe and would be continued with a new arc titled "Infinity Quest" up next where the team will tackle a threat greater than what they have already dealt with in a future ruined by their children and a conflict of interest among its members regarding long-kept dark secrets.

X-Force – Sex and Violence | Comics

The long-running sexual tension between Wolverine and Domino comes to a point where it invites senseless violence.

A badly beaten, bloodied and battle-worn Domino remembers being attacked by a group of assailants who broke into her place, which she barely survived and ended up on Alcatraz Island. She hits the washroom spitting two of her teeth into sink and tells Elixir to heal her wounds up but Wolverine of X-Force stopped him from doing so.

Logan came here seeking her when he sensed that she is cooking some trouble and asks her how who did this to her. Neena spills that members of the infamous Assassins Guild took her in for a score but she never really knew who she was working for. Then shit just hit the fan and they are attacked by Ninjas of The Hand out of nowhere.

As these villains were busy tearing each other apart, she finds out that they were after a cargo full of captive Japanese girls. She managed to smuggle them back to Texas and helped them to get back but now the Guild is very pissed at her and want payback.

Wolverine suddenly shoots the hinges off the door to see X-23 standing on the other side and she came here following his trails. Laura suggests that Domino is still hiding something about her encounter with Assassins Guild and the run-in with Hand. Telling her to stay out of this, he tells Elixir to heal her before getting out.

X-Force – Sex and Violence | Comics

Logan decides to stick with her and though she doesn't want his help, Domino suggests he is hanging out for a hookup. A bullet hits him, causing the car to crash and she comes out to see the Guild sends its members to bring her. A quick shootout ensues where Wolvie joins to lend a hand before they take out everyone and passionately kiss.

The villainous Razor-Fist leading the Guild members comes out asking her about the money she stole from them and Logan too asks her the same question. He goes slicing and dicing them up until getting stabbed by the mercenary leader. Logan manages to break free and spare him to tell Belladonna Boudreaux to stop chasing Neena Thurman.

Domino later confessed to him that during the rescue of those girls, she found a truck full of 237 million dollar and took it, which is why the Guild is mad now. The gun wielding bombshell suggests that they spend some quality time together in a hotel and then discuss about what to do with the money. Being an animal, Logan simply complies.

Assassins Guild leader Belladonna is furious at the incompetence of Razor-Fist, so she calls in favor from Black Mamba, Boomerang, Bullet, Bushwacker, Clay and Nakh to finish the job. They are quickly located in their hotel room in San Francisco, where Bushwacker breaks in to capture Domino and kill Wolverine, only to fail miserably.

These two then head to face the Guild and Neena points out walking straight to enemy lair is kind of a suicide mission she is not very fond of but for this instant, she is trusting Weapon X. The Guild thought that he came here to exchange her life for money but he suggests that the money goes to charity and they leave Domino alone.

An infuriated Belladonna orders her legion of killer to take them down and as the former X-Men duo was already having a hard time to even defend their own; a group of Ninjas sent by The Hand comes out of shadows to apprehend them.

X-Force – Sex and Violence (Softcover)

X-Force – Sex and Violence (Hardcover)

In 2010, Marvel Comics took writers Christopher Yost (X-23 – Innocence Lost, X-23 – Target X) and Craig Kyle (X-Force – Angels & Demons, X-Force – Old Ghosts) to work on a three part limited series focused on X-Force in collaboration with artist Gabriele Dell'Otto (Secret Wars, The Clone Conspiracy), who mostly does cover art in general.

"Sex and Violence" is the result of that creative process and features current X-Force members Archangel, Domino, Elixir, Vanisher, Warpath, Wolverine and X-23. After Cyclops has deployed a strike force version of the team following the events of "Messiah CompleX", the group has been operating as a black ops squad of mutants.

Aggression and Romance

Although there is a certain twist in the plot that might make things interesting in the end, at times it might feels like that the story was only conceived to portray a couple of hot and steamy romantic encounter between Logan and Neena. Both Assassins Guild and The Hand may seem underplayed and so is the character of Belladonna Boudreaux.

This sexiest blood-soaked adventure taken place in "Sex and Violence" ushered a new direction for the team which reflected on a new monthly ongoing series Uncanny X-Force with some new members like Deadpool, Fantomex and Psylocke on the team.
