It's Spider-Man vs. Morlun in the wreckage of Madison Square Garden! Destiny has finally caught up to our Friendly Neighborhood Webslinging Hero as the totem killer, Morlun, makes his presence known to his new prey. Will the ancient Morlun prove too much for Spider-Man or will Peter's rage push him over the edge? Check it out in Spider-Man #3.

In Captain America the Sentinel of Liberty and Nick Fury tirelessly investigate the fluke capture of the President of the United States, but will Black Racer and Fer De Lance be of any help? Unknown to them is that the Serpent Society may have unwillingly stumbled upon a conspiracy larger, deeper and deadlier than their own recent actions as a result of their kidnapping. What ramifications will this have on not just Steve and Nick, but the entire country when they catch up the Society and learn the truth?

In Exiles the reality traveller Axel Asher has assumed the role of the Timebroker and must direct the Exiles in their mission to fix the damage he created in fall through the multiverse. Their first stop takes them to a universe where the galaxy has been conquered by a savage Terran Empire and they're setting their sites on the Shi'ar as their next conquest. Can the Exiles hope to stop the efforts of an entire determined army? Are they even supposed to? Find out in the first issue of "Empire Earth".

We kick off the first half of our street initiative launch with Heroes For Hire. We continue from Amazing Adventures where Luke Cage learned of a game that put a bounty on the heads of heroes, and this round the bounty is Luke Cage! Mongoose and Joystick failed to cash in, but the round isn't over until the Black Cat sings and she intends to wail. Will she cash in, or will Flying Tiger and Cyclone trump her and take Luke Cage for themselves? Iron Fist and Prowler chip in to help, while Misty Knight and Colleen Wing find themselves in The Block with Code: BLUE.

Master of Kung-Fu continues the launch from Amazing Adventures as Shang-Chi finds himself dropped right in the middle of his old life without missing so much as a beat to compensate. Chi and his friends must uncover the reason for why the Si-Fan attacked Chi's old village home, especially when it doesn't fit their, or their master Fu Manchu's, modis operandi. What does Chi's old adversary stand to gain from breaking his pattern?

I apologize for taking a few days to announce the update, but when it came time to type this out things really got hectic. Along with this update you'll notice that MA now has an advertisement for Meri's wonderful FANFARE: THE MONTH IN FANFICTION LiveJournal. You can now click on that to find out what's being released across the entire community.

In Gambit we're treated to another history lesson into the past of the Thieve's Guild. Let's go back to Chicago 1871 and follow the exploits of Gambit's idol Fleur. Will the truth's Remy learn shatter the image he's molded of the Fleur? How will Remy handle the revelations of the past?

Simon Stroud's plan for Morbius comes to fruition in Midnight Sons as he convinces the living vampire that there's a good deal waiting. Can Michael trust his former enemy? Dracula is forced to accept the reality of his restored humanity quickly if he wishes to survive 'till the next morning. Meanwhile, Modred the Mystic tears the Darkholders apart in his blind mission to claim the book as his own and Blade, too, must make a deal with an uneasy ally but the subject at hand almost gives Blade no choice to accept.

We finally catch up to Abyss in X-Force after his abduction at the hands of the witch Selene. Will Nils survive her presence and what wrinkles to her plan could make his survival just a little more possible?

In Yellowjacket Hank Pym is under pressure to solve the mystery of how a sun from the Micro-verse ended up in Central Park as the stars growing presence threatens to destroy the planet. In order to find his answers Hank must travel to the Micro-verse with a tiny army of heroes to figure out how exactly the star left the sub-reality before others can do the same.

In The Amazing Spider-Man #2 Morlun has finished observing Spider-Man from a distance and has made his move to put him directly in Spider-Man's path. But Morlun's actions, unfortuately, don't only affect the webslinger as Flash Thompson and Betty Brant are at ground zero of their imminent battle and nobody has seen or heard from Ben Urich in a week since he investigated the strange ship that brought Morlun to New York's harbor.

Avengers Assemble takes place in a two week period around the attack on Avengers Mansion depicted in Avengers #1 and follows the actions of Tony Stark, Hank Pym, and Captain America that lead in to the launch of their brand new solo adventures! Meanwhile, Jack of Hearts battle's the Growing Man and after is visited by a mysterious man with a prophecy that'll require the formation of Force Works to stop it. This is the book that leads into the creation of 4 brand new titles and offer insights into the two established titles on site through the eyes of their younger members, Rage and Ultra-Girl.

In The Defenders #2 the Wendigo's continue their invasion of New York City as Namor and Silver Surfer battle the Bandigo. Dr. Strange is confused by the herd of the mystical beasts as there's only ever been one Wendigo at any given time. So, with all this going on just how exactly does Nighthawk hope to contribute to help those that aren't excited to accept his very presence?

In Gambit #15 if Remy had thought that days after his brutal fight with his wife over the future of the Guilds he'd have one moment of peace then he's dead wrong...well, only if Bella Donna has anything to do with it. Gambit's wife hasn't let their fued go, the wounds to her still fresh and the fire in her still hot. This can only be put to rest with blood, and the consequences to Remy go far deeper than he'll ever know.

Across Europe in The Midnight Sons Michael Morbius and Blade find themselves at the mercy of others for reasons and plans that aren't entirely clear to them yet. That night, however, they're not the only men caged like mice as the suddenly human Dracula is the unwilling guest of The Prince who wishes to use the former Lord of the Vampire's current situation for personal gain. In parts unknown Modred the Mystic continues his assault on the Darkholders over the right to possess their page of the Darkhold.

In X-Force #6 the cards are on the table and all the players are present in Russia as they manuever and make bids on two canisters containing the fearsome Phalanx. It was only a matter of time before Havok found himself and his team in the middle of a free-for-all and you can be damned sure that when the shit hits the fan this deal really gets deadly.

So, what the Hell are you waiting for? Go read some fanfic for Christ's sake!!

· The Defenders #1, by Ed Ainsworth
"Welcome to Prism"

· Nightstalkers #1, by Jan Oudshoorn

To go with the debut issues of the Supernatural line Strange Tales is getting a re-release. It is the Source Book from where these brand new series's launched from.

Anthony Ludgate has wandered the cold depths of Hell for untold years ever since the Son of Satan had exiled him from the mortal coil and stuffed his lifeless body in a garbage can, mindful to take out the trash. At the behest of an unknown benefactor Druid's seclusion will come to an end as he meets up with two mysterious men that have been damned to the pit to hear their Strange Tales. Behold the vivid tales of the Nightstalkers, the fearsome Ghost Rider, of Druid's most hated enemy Dr. Strange and The Defenders, and of the hellish Midnight Sons. What purpose do these eerie stories serve? Well, I guess you're gonna have to turn the page and find out for yourself.

Directly continuing from Strange Tales comes The Defenders by Edward Ainsworth. Doctor Spectrum has tracked the beaten Nighthawk to the front door of the newly gathered Defenders and the battle that ensues is just one reason why you should never live in Marvel's New York City. The other reason to never live there is white and fury and rhymes with WEEEEENNNDIIIGOOOO! Dr. Strange, Namor, the Silver Surfer and the Hulk have their hands full with these two tremendously powerful villains.

In The Midnight Sons by Josh Reynolds you're welcome to attend a ghoulish ball hosted by none other than the Lord of Vampires himself, Dracula. It's a rather lively event and I wouldn't recommend missing it. Elsewhere, recovering from the assualt he suffered in Strange Tales, Morbius awakes to find himself bound and captive, and oddly amused. In England the bad-ass vampire hunter, Blade, battles one of the oldest Vampires on the Earth. The Darkholders responsible for attacking Morbius and stealing the page from him reveal their dark intentions that will push the events in motion that will serve to reform The Midnight Sons once more.

If that's not enough then I have for you the last book of this launch: Nightstalkers by Jan Oudshoorn. Gathered in Cagliostro's hotel room are the others drawn together by the horrific Red Event. But they're too busy smack talking each other than getting down to business. Meanwhile things are going terribly wrong across the country, a sign of the awful things to come, with an outbreak of zombies, nightmares and ghost who cannot sing wreak havoc and panic. It's a good thing we have champions ready to stab, shoot, bite and banish these things of terror back to the Hell they belong.

So, that does it for this update. Go read some fanfic for Christ's sake!

Oh, and I want you all aware at how close that Midnight Sons entry came to being nothing but the lyrics to an AC/DC song. You're welcome at my restraint.
