“THE FUTURE OF FEAR”
Chthon is dead. Yet, the fear lingers…
There is a prevailing truism about artists: that their work increases in value after their death. And what is black magic if not the quintessential “dark art”? The Darkhold - Chthon’s unrivaled repository of arcane knowledge, the blackest of grimoires, and the universe’s most accursed spellbook - is now invaluable. Whosoever obtains it may shift the balance of power in the Age of Marvels Universe going forward…
Will it be the Son of Satan himself, Daimon Hellstrom? Or the succubus Queen Shiklah? Or another member of the Midnight Sons? Is it Morbin’ time?
What about other earthly spellcasters? A member of the Agents of A.R.C.A.N.A.? Or perhaps the Spellbinder herself? Or a Sigil-bearer? A dark intellectual? A sorcerer of the stars? A king? Perhaps someone… more fantastic? Could it possibly be the moment that the supernaturally stout Darkhold Dwarf has awaited his entire life?
Or will it be those who carry on Chthon’s legacy more directly… one of the Horror Gods who were so recently - and now, permanently - freed from imprisonment and unleashed upon our universe?
This is the final scramble. The future of fear will be determined here. But Balder the Brave has been planning for this since he first discovered the Dark World Tree, K’Lay… and he’s not afraid to act!

FINAL GIRL
The DARKHOLD REDEEMERS are under attack!
As Jennifer Kale and Jinx sought the secrets of the Darkhold Dwarf, Victoria Montesi had to defend them from the frightening DIABOLIQUE with the assistance of Modred the Mystic and Yuvraj Singh.
(Louise Hastings gave advice from the sidelines.)
All of this, unfortunately, gave the Dwarf the perfect opportunity to walk right in the front door to the Redeemer’s sanctuary unopposed.
Or should that be, nearly unopposed. There’s one final girl left to oppose him: Victoria’s girlfriend.
She might not have a mystical bone in her body – but Nash Salvato is a certified martial arts instructor.
How is martial arts going to stack up to the dread might of an eldritch being?
Not well… but what choice does she have?

Plot by CAPTCLEGHORN
Gordon Shumway is an extraterrestrial from the planet Melmac, colloquially known as Alf (Alien Life Form). His planet was destroyed by nuclear war while he was space bound, causing his ship to crash on Earth. He spent time hiding with an Earth family but was captured by a rogue faction of the US military. Released from custody and finding his Earth family unavailable, he heads to San Francisco to give the visiting POTUS warnings about nuclear war.
In San Francisco, newly promoted SFPD Lieutenant Dori Doreau is responsible for handling security for the visiting President. She assigns Inspector Sledge Hammer to search for a reported alien creature wandering the streets. However, unknown to them at this time, a band of attractive bikini clad terrorists are in the process of hijacking a nuclear device and using it to ransom the city when POTUS is there. If this sounds familiar, it’s because our officers have encountered the gang led by fitness guru Jill Taylor. They failed and San Francisco was destroyed in a nuclear blast sending Doreau and Hammer back five years which they have relived (relax, it’s sitcom time travel). Can they get it right this time?
Adventurer, brain surgeon, rock musician Buckaroo Banzai has detected a disturbance in the time stream and excessive radiation. This supposed disruption of spacetime affects a planet in the Aldente Nebula in the Andromeda Galaxy which was destroyed due to nuclear conflict. Buckaroo believes he can save both planets, Earth and Melmac, but he will have to make sure that the San Francisco blast is averted by the human police and their Melmac helper while Buckaroo flies into another dimension to link both planets, saving both from nuclear Armageddon.
Can they do it? Don’t worry, they know what they’re doing.

“OUT OF TIME”
It was Gaea all along.
In the time before time, in the Age of the Elder Gods, a time-displaced Steve Rogers is thanked by Mother Nature herself. It was Gaea who was responsible for bouncing him around the timestream, placing him exactly where, or rather, when he was most needed. Now, Steve’s work is done and, as a reward, he is returned from whence he came… The year 2099?!?
It wasn’t where he expected to end up, but nonetheless there’s work to be done! Punisher 2099 and the Free Radicals are engaged with Earth’s wealthiest heroes: the Corporate Avengers!!! They need help! Can Steve take our future back?
In 2022, Bucky’s crew of outlaw patriots (which includes Black Widow, Mockingbird, Bonebreaker, Ulysses S. Archer, and the unlikely addition of Kraven the Hunter) works to oust the remaining forces of the invading Horror Gods from America… a task also being undertaken by what remains of the official, yet fractured, “Dark” Avengers: “Winter Soldier” (Steel Serpent), “Black Widow” (Deadly Nightshade), “Hulk” (Red Hulk), and “Spider-Man” (Tarantula). Call them legacy heroes or identity thieves, but they’ve been trying to fight the good fight since their field leader “Captain America” (Omega Red) was infected with lycanthropy and taken off the board (see Fear Itself: Uncanny Wolfmen #1-4). Can these two groups work together against a common enemy? After what happened the last time they tried during the Negation event… most definitely not!

Sixteen-year-old Coryn Wake was at her high school with her family enjoying a basketball when suddenly, they came out of nowhere.
It happened quickly, so much blood, so much death, the screams of the dying and those not yet dead. She doesn't know why she is still alive thru all the chaos, she only managed to catch a fleeting glimpse of them. But Coryn does remember something. The one who led them all, they called him by a name that sounded almost biblical, a name that brings back haunting memories for Jason - John Apostle!

“Kingdom of Fear: Loathsome Secrets of a Star Crossed Child at the End of the American Civilization”
Dr. Reed Richards has climbed to the pinnacle of the pile of his defeated adversaries and rivals. Few others have become involved in these battles since Richards was believed to be the least of the many evils represented by the madmen from Allograft. This is no longer the case.
Because Reed is now the biggest threat and he has left many of his teammates defeated in is wake, the authorities take a drastic step and call in Dr. Susan Storm, the Invisible Woman, on leave from F² due to her VP campaigning.
Sue and Dr. Leonard Samson, psychiatrist extraordinaire, team up to stop the power mad Richards from bringing the Fear of the realm of Allograft worldwide. Is a person’s spouse the only person capable of stopping them? You really need to buy this concluding chapter to find out, pilgrim.
Or, in the words of series inspiration Hunter S. Thompson:
“I like this book and I especially like the title. Only a fool or a whore would call it anything else.”
“Weird behavior is natural in smart children, like curiosity is to a kitten.”

Most importantly, Hulk managed to use the black science kept in the Keep’s alchemical wing to expunge the vampirism from his system - freeing his mind from Vanthirius’ corrupting influence (and allowing him to go into the sun again!).
Now, it all comes down to a rematch: the green Goliath, Hulk, versus the god of all vampires himself, Vanthirius! Last time they faced off, Vanthirius bit deep and turned the Hulk into his thrall. This time, the Hulk plans to put a Sequoia-sized wooden stake through Vanthirius’ heart! Hulk Slay!

They say the Avengers were formed to fight the foes that no single superhero could withstand… but why didn’t they think of just combining parts and making a single superhero that could withstand anything? That’s the Allograft way!
Dr. Demogag’s Monster is just that: a masterpiece of necrology. They say it was made from parts stolen from the God Quarry itself - bits and pieces of the most powerful beings from across the multiverse - fused into one, perfect whole. As the pinnacle of Allograftian black science, the Monster rules the Realm and serves as a twisted form of inspiration for its denizens. It is kinda their version of a Captain America… so, without Chthon to interfere, why shouldn’t it have its own team of Frankenheroes - where each member is a one-person-team?
Dismembers, assemble!
Wintery-Mix Soldier: he’s got Bucky’s missing arm… plus two extras that he picked up from Armless Tiger Man! The perfect soldier!
Blackest Widow: all the best parts of slain Red Room assassins!
Eagle-eyes: composite archer that literally has an eagle’s eyes! Six of ‘em! Wings too.
Ironman-Man: wearer of an invincible suit of armor made from other super-people!
And the only person who can disassemble the Dismembers is a newly-minted Midnight Son made from all the parts of Deadpool that got cut off over the years: Evil Deadpool! Will he thwart the Dismembers’ first mission on Earth… or join them?

The raw, primal emotion and exhilaration of unleashing the animal within… all werewolves know it. Nonetheless, they often fear shedding their humanoid social constraints, impeding themselves from fully adopting pack life. The Uncanny Pack - specifically Werewolf by Night, Man-Wolf, Wolfsbane, and Warwolf - are swayed by the charismatic Alpha Prime, who relishes his existence as part-man/part-wolf and wants them to do the same. They are finally embracing their animalistic natures when…
Betrayal! Cap-Wolf, the duplicitous Arkady Rossovich (formerly known as Omega Red and now masquerading as Captain America) slays Alpha Prime! He is the Alpha Prime now!
As wolves, Arkady sees the benefit of the pack. It is fertile ground for him to achieve a dream he’s had since being defrosted in the modern age: rebirthing the Soviet Union! Beware, a howling new threat to the universe: the Werewolf Men and Women of the new U.S.S.R.! Hammer and sickle, fang and claw!
Can the remaining Uncanny Wolfmen cure Arkady of his lycanthropy so the packs of Varúlfur reject him?
Plus, did you guess that last issue there was a second Lone Wolf Gunman?? What conspiracy have you just stumbled into?

The sacrifice has been made. To save her son Atum from corruption after he consumed the evil elder god Chthon, Gaea agreed to be consumed herself. As perhaps the final elder god, Gaea’s death restored Atum’s internal balance forever. Yet there must always be a Mother Nature…
Before she went, Gaea transferred her power into a mighty artifact: the Earth Crown. Gaea’s final instructions were to place the crown on the head of her daughter-in-law, recently widowed in the wake of her son Thor’s death: the current All-Mother of Asgard, Sif. But during the transfer ceremony, a former All-Mother intervenes! Oops, maybe Loki miscalculated when he freed Freyja from imprisonment in the last issue - for now the Betrayer Queen may steal the power and become the new Mother Nature! Can Sif, Odin, and the other gods stop this from happening?
Meanwhile, the exiled Balder the Brave returns to Asgard (though perhaps at an inopportune moment, as his mother is currently battling the Royal Family…). Seeking redemption, he has a plan to liberate Asgard and the other godly spheres, Olympus and Heliopolis, from the grasp of the Dark World Tree’s vile branches forever… and to burn K’Lay down to its roots!

Pete and Gwen, in using Bugle computers to hack into law enforcement systems have been caught and have confessed to Gwen’s dad Captain Stacy. It was only to help Flash Thompson from being pressured by gangsters to throw a game. What our intrepid teens have discovered is that a joint NYPD/FBI effort is being made to break a criminal organization. Special Agent Jean DeWolff lies in stable condition under guard after being shot as a message.
Although Pete found the low-level thugs threatening Flash, he only got clues to criminals farther up the line. He does some detective work and discovers at least two of his former foes have present ties to Wilson Fisk, a “humble” merchant dealing in fancy, premium, exotic spices. It should be no problem to investigate Fisk further and hopefully get some evidence to deliver to the police and FBI. Did we mention that Fisk often stays late in his Manhattan offices and is a physical powerhouse? Yeah, Peter didn’t know Fisk is a 400 pound mass of muscle either.
