Mighty Avengers – Venom Bomb | Comics

Iron Man reassembles his Mighty Avengers team to fight a Venom virus that turned New York's populace into symbiotic monsters.

Right after assembling his team of Mighty Avengers, Tony Stark and his friends managed to thwart a global extinction attempt by Ultron which led him to put in recovery. He wakes up in the middle of that same night to find Spider-Woman standing beside his bed carrying a Skrull corpse who was posing as Elektra for some time.

She tells him to shut all communication so that she can start talking and then reveals how their trip to Japan for rescuing Maya Lopez has led to this shocking discovery. She had to betray her fellow teammates in New Avengers to bring the dead body to Stark and explains how Wolverine thinks this as a sign of full-scale invasion.

As Stark doesn't really know what to do in this situation, he asks her to join his team so that if there is a Skrull on his team, it may react abnormally. Next day, Tony welcomes every new members of his team in Avengers Tower. He then introduces Jessica Drew to the rest despite Black Widow and Wasp being skeptic about it.

In space, two astronauts were collecting debris of experiment satellites that Sentry and Wonder Man destroyed earlier while fighting Ultron. A small capsule is launched from there which fell on Earth, only to cause an outbreak of Venom symbiote in streets of New York and prompting Commander Maria Hill to call Iron Man for help.

Assembling his team, Tony Stark quickly arrives on scene to witness thousands of symbiote swarms running rampant and they even overwhelmed Sentry. Janet van Dyne turns into Giant Woman but then succumbs to the virus when she is bitten. Even Jessica and Natasha got infected shortly fighting their surrounding crowd.

Rest of them desperately tries to hold off the mass as Tony heads out for a possible solution. New Avengers were on their way to warn Mighty Avengers about an attack by The Hood (The Trust) and except for Luke Cage, all of them are turned. Unable to find Reed Richards or Fantastic Four, he gets into Baxter Building to produce a cure.

Seeing things getting out of hand, Ms. Marvel instructs Sentry to knock out Venom-possessed Janet. Meanwhile, Tony managed to synthesize an antidote that he spread across New York for everyone to get cured. Back to their human forms, New Avengers members stayed and try to assist a shocked crowd to deal with their trauma.

Stark then head to space tracking down origin of the virus, learning Latverian monarch Doctor Doom was behind this attack. Iron Man leads his Mighty Avengers and S.H.I.E.L.D. cavalry to hunt down Doom who travelled through time to meet Morgan le Fey but was forced to come back due to some anomaly and sees them coming for him.

When they arrived near Castle Doom, he unleashed an army of Doombots on the heroes as defense counter strike. Ares takes charge by ramming their Quinjet on his castle and they became busy fighting Doom's minions. Iron Man engages him in battle but was overpowered when his enemy uses Crimson Bands of Cyttorak.

Carol sends Bob to help Tony but due to his sudden intervention, they all fell into an open time travel portal and is sent to past. An angered Doctor Doom swears vengeance on Stark but they both eventually agree not to do anything that would cause grave damage to space-time continuum and focus on going back to their own time.

Superman & Batman - Torment
 | Comics
Killer Croc climbs to the 52nd floor of the Lex-Com tower and breaks in to steal a yellow crystal like rock. As Gotham P.D. tries to investigate into the matter, Lex Luthor’s men has managed to stave them off while looking for Luthor’s missing property and Batman secretly hears their conversation on the situation. It appears that Croc was actually working for a gruesome being named Schrocken to whom Croc has shown a great deal of obedience as well as fear. When he asks for permission to leave, Schrocken got annoyed by him and sent him running by giving him a beating. Batman was chasing Killer Croc, who's acting all mindless recently and filled only with blind-rage.

Meanwhile, Superman is having some nightmares and cannot concentrate on work either. He feels jealous about Lois going out for an interview with his friend Pete Ross and later tries to peek on them which are not very likely of him. His abnormal behavior is been orchestrated by DeSaad and he has enlisted The Scarecrow to tap into Superman's primal fear. The evil god Darkseid is behind all these schemes who wants Superman to steal the staff of Highfather from Source-Wall to restore his own power, which has diminished since he is released from the Source-Wall (in Superman/Batman – With a Vengeance). Batman secretly follows Superman, only to be unexpectedly aided by Orion's beautiful yet dangerous wife Bekka, with whom he soon develops a brief but serious romantic relationship that will cause all sorts of trouble.

The story somewhat delivers an aftershock of events that has took place in the series so far and of course a fine conclusion.
