Avengers: Dark Design
By Michael Franzoni

What You Should Know: Forced to work together by evidence gathered by the United States government, two former criminals and a Russian spy find themselves as the newest solution to the growing metahuman problem in the world. Their first mission? Track down the killer known as Sabretooth and bring him into custody. In the midst of the battle, Yukio is critically injured, and Hawkeye and Black Widow just barely manage to wrangle the beast. MDD's Captain America is introduced and revealed to be a throwback from the early testing of the Super-Soldier Serum -- a project deemed a failure and abandoned soon thereafter. Finally, with the addition of Dr. Henry Pym to their away team, and the whereabouts of Yukio unknown, the Avengers set off to Russia to discover the source of a bubble of silence that has settled over Moscow.

What's Gonna Happen: New members are recruited to the ranks, and a conspiracy leaks into the background. The government is developing a new metahuman containment center, and the Vulture, Whirlwind, Living Lightning, and Sabretooth may be the first candidates for the service. But what is the secret behind it all, and how does it tie into the Avenger's current mission? Down The Road: Can you imagine what Marvel Dark Design can do with Ultron and Kang? Can you say wild, re-imaginings?

Captain Britain By David Wheatley

What You Should Know: It's been a while (really sorry Chris!) so as I remember it Vixen and Merlyn battled for power as Brian tended to his injured sister.

What's Gonna Happen: Cap is forced to fight the Vixen one last time as the Denouement arrives and threatens both Earth and Otherworld. Down The Road: Someone else may or may not continue Cap's adventures. I'll be standing down.
