Joe Hill's The Cape – 1969 | Comics
During the period of Vietnam War in 1969, Captain Gordon Chase was a medevac chopper pilot. While he was serving for US Army, his wife was reading a letter he sent to their kids Eric and Nicky back home. Chase and his friends were having things a bit quiet for a few weeks and thought all of it will be over soon. But war can turn out ugly any second and as they were unaware of the gathering soldiers on waiting to ambush on them, Chase and the troops were having a laugh. Suddenly a bullet hit one of them in the head and their copter was heading for impact from the heavy fire it took from the soldiers below. By the time, they crash-landed, co-pilot Larry got shot. Chase managed to pull the chopper far from the shootout and only three of them were alive.

Impatient to get out of this mess, one of them gets riddled with bullets by enemy forces. The Vietcong fired at their chopper and when paused, Chase throws a grenade, decimating them and starts running with his fellow combat medic behind enemy lines. Whereas, squads were searching for them, a mystery person was looking upon them from above the tree, who seems amused by the nonsensical destruction of war. Eventually Chase and his fellow medic gets captured and they killed the latter. Chase was imprisoned and the next day they throw in the mystery person watching them prior, whom they call a witch. As the world believes Chase is missing in action, he decides to exact vengeance on the Vietcong for his fallen comrades with help from an unexpected source.

Joe Hill's The Cape – 1969

Based on the original work of New York Times bestselling writer Joe Hill (Locke & Key, Wraith – Welcome to Christmasland), The Cape – 1969 is actually a prequel story for Joe Hill's The Cape. This four-part limited series was released on 2013 from IDW, a year after its sequel and it was written by Jason Ciaramella (Oxymoron, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles – Villains). Artist Nelson Daniel (Judge Dredd, Wild Blue Yonder) and Zach Howard (Aliens – More Than Human, Judge Dredd – City Limits) were at the wheels of illustration duty and they did a great job. Although, there are very little space for character development and the overall plot is pretty gory, which makes the book not very suitable for everyone, it is highly recommended for anyone who wishes to get into some solid storytelling.

When he was in the middle of a meeting with director Tosh and fellow Agent Park, Rodus and Weathers for a mission brief, The Apparition shows up and vanishes Kurt by wrapping him up with its body. As the team goes after the notorious Arc Light next day, Daniel is still puzzled with Kurt's disappearance and when they need Haunt the most, he didn't show up.

However, Daniel's fellow operatives took care of the situation and Kurt eventually showed up running to his brother. Together as Haunt, Daniel now sees the ghost and unsuccessfully tries to best it with no avail while The Apparition tries to strip him off his suit. Daniel visits Beth to find out a Bolivian woman named Alegria, who was in a cell with him previously and apparently knows a lot about The Haunt than himself.

He goes looking for her in the city but Alegria found him first and with The Apparition on their tail, she explains that it is part of a force, which came to prevent Kurt from existing into both realms. Therefore, it will take Kurt back from the realm of the living. The trio finally manages to escape the spirit, wondering even with Alegria's help, can they actually win?

Tony Stark offers help from his company, Stark Resilient to re-construct Asgard, after the demolition caused in "Siege" but on Serpent's return, Odin draws back his men from Earth.

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.

The Mighty Thor – The Galactus Seed | Comics

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.

Invincible Iron Man – Unfixable | Comics
The Mighty Thor and Iron Man pays a visit to the Luna City of the surface of moon to check on a rogue Stark invention which is from Stark’s days as a weapon inventor that is causing catastrophic weather on places of Earth. Tony’s former secretary and personal assistant Pepper Potts, who is now an armored superhero like her boss, goes out on a solo adventure of her own as Rescue. And then there is the most unusual face-off between the Invincible Iron Man up against the classic Spider-Man foe, who is none other than . . . Doctor Octopus. Crazy, as it sounds, Doc Ock has recently reformed himself again and has eight mechanical arms of his own but he is no superhuman and his fragile mortal body can take only no more from a world full of super-powered individuals.

Doctor Otto Octavius has been taking a lot of tough blows from many of the heroes and villains alike for ages; especially from Spider-Man. He was bashed in the face by Captain America, hit hard by Daredevil, he even was blasted badly by Ultron himself and he is not up for it anymore. But Tony Stark thinks good ol' Doc Ock is not a big deal, or is he? With all the power, energy and countless world changing technologies at his disposal, Stark decides to rebuild Broxton, Oklahoma. Along with his former Sinister Six member Sand Man and Electro, Doctor Octopus hinders Tony’s plan by threatening to eliminate the lives of the current dwellers of Broxton and all he wants from him is fixing of his fragile, damaged body and salvation, that he believes only Stark can deliver to him.
