Trapped in a world they never made, the team must struggle to break free - while one of their number fights their own hopeless battle against Myrddin and his Twilight Court! But Avengers never fight alone, and their most dangerous member is about to join the conflict. At stake: the fate of Kang the Conqueror! With Kang being the only source of information the Avengers have regarding the Tribulation Events, can the Avengers save him before Myrddin strikes? Plus: The Avengers' orbital super-fortress, the Impossible City, just isn't quite home without Edwin Jarvis!

Batman’s arrival in New York City went even more smoothly than Jace could have hoped. The mayor and law enforcement are trying to cooperate with their new Dark Knight in ways Gotham never did, and his family has settled quickly into a happy routine, not to mention that the love of his life also happens to live in the city! But there’s a rotten core to the Big Apple, and a mysterious new serial killer is going to exploit it…

The original team, now called X-Factor, takes center stage when Proteus returns from the grave. But when Apocalypse strikes — infecting Cyclops’ son, Nathan, with a deadly virus — Cyclops must make a bitter sacrifice! And the current X-Men return to Earth to find that Professor X’s old foe the Shadow King has risen — and taken over Muir Island! It will take the combined strength of X-Factor and the X-Men to triumph — and when the dust clears, the two teams will become one! An uncanny new status quo is introduced as the reunited X-Men go back to basics, beginning with a deadly confrontation with Magneto and his fanatical Acolytes!

Bruce Wayne comes from nothing. He’s not the scion of a wealthy empire in Gotham City, he’s the son of a public school teacher who he experienced the unimaginable horror of random gun violence as a child, changing the trajectory of his life forever. With no limitless resources, no billions to fund him, no mansion, and no butler to care for him, Bruce has shaped himself into an entirely different breed of Batman, one that is equal parts brain and brawn, who exists exclusively in the grittiest and most underserved parts of Gotham with no high society mask to fall back on.

In a future Earth ravaged by terror, the unstoppable Xenomorphs descend upon our planet, pitting the perfect organism against a world of superhumans. As the Avengers rise in defense, they face unimaginable loss as the gods of creation known as the Engineers set out to destroy what they made.
