What You Should Know: The world has changed for mutants and the X-Men in particular. No longer do they hide underground or behind the stone walls of Xavier's. People adore them on the level of the Avengers in certain areas. Capitalizing on the new popularity of those with the X-Gene, the Astonishing X-Men were born. Setting up shop in Chicago they are the hottest thing to hit the city, and as the popularity grows so does the responsibility and the type of threats that rear their ugly faces. Welcome to popularity X-Men, hope you survive the experience.
What's Going to Happen: Recently the X-Men came up against a man going by the name of Dr. Apocalypse, who was using technology of many of their old foes. Before they could discover anything about where the technology came from their new base was attacked by the mutant called Warp Savant. Meanwhile Banshee is in the middle of an investigation of a quickly decomposed body that points at a mutant as the attacker.
Down the Road: Love Smash. Children of the Vault. The Neo. U-Men. Love and heartache. Red-heads have all the fun. Jubilee goes shopping. Nuff' Said.
FORCE WORKS

What You Should Know: Tony Stark, who struggled with internal disputes with the Avengers formed a team that would not just stop disasters, but prevent them in the Marvel Universe. In Anthology universe, the recent destruction of Avengers Mansion has disrupted the flow of the Avengers. A mysterious figure shows up with knowledge vital to the very survival of the Avengers…but at what cost?
What's Going to Happen: Since Force Works is starting from scratch, I plan on the usual get the team together arc. With ties that extend past dimensions and space, the team has its hands full. Someone has to do the dirty work.
Down the Road: Killraven…nuff said.

What You Should Know: Remy LeBeau has returned home to the streets of New Orleans and his place in the Thieves' Guild. The homecoming has been anything but peaceful as the streets erupted in all-out war between the Thieves and the Assassins. And the aftermath of that battle has cost Remy a higher price than he could have ever imagined.
What's Going to Happen: Another encounter with Baron LeVeau will see Remy's luck run out as he is delivered into the waiting hands of the mysterious Antiquary.
Down the Road: A Tales of the Guild adventure will see Jean-Luc LeBeau encounter an X-Men foe. Remy's brother Jacques will have to decide whether or not to make a deal with the devil. And New Son is still awaiting a final confrontation...

What You Should Know: Tony Stark, billionaire industrialist, is one of the world’s smartest and richest men. He’s also the armored, technologically advanced Avenger known as Iron Man!
What's Going to Happen: Tony Stark has a plan for every eventuality. When he is critically wounded, we will see just what he has planned for the future of the Iron Man in the six part epic ‘The Stark Protocols’.

KA-ZAR
Derrick Ferguson
Link: ma.bhyphen.com/titlekazar.html
What You Should Know: In a world of rapildy dwindling natural resources the untapped riches of The Savage Land is rapidly becoming a focal point for many of the nations of the world as they seek to mine those riches. Corporations and unscrupulous individuals also seek to carve up this prehistoric paradise. Only Ka-Zar stands between The Savage Land and the forces that would tear it to pieces. To this end Ka-Zar is petitioning The United Nations to recognize his absolute and uncontested sovereignty of The Savage Land.
What's Going to Happen: Ka-Zar battles Zarrko the Tomorrow Man and gets a horrifying glimpse of a possible future in which he will apparently kill his own wife and destroy The Savage Land. But Ka-Zar has more than enough to worry about today as he travels to San Francisco on an errand of mercy and then onto New York to face his most deadly foe to date: The United Nations!
Down the Road: Ka-Zar meets up with with Gregory Dunville The III, the founder and head of E.A.R.T.H. and he's hiding a big secret that Ka-Zar can only discover if he survives Electro and The Owl! Then it's on to New York where Ka-Zar is reunited with Shanna The She-Devil and takes on the likes of The Looter and Stilt-Man and reconnects with old buddies Spider-Man and Daredevil. After that it's The Royal World Tour as Ka-Zar visits the other monarchs of the world to forge alliances and treaties. Some do. Some don't. But it all means excitement for you and late nights for me.
MASTER OF KUNG-FU

What You Should Know: Shang-Chi, the Master of Kung-Fu, has spent years living a peaceful life in a small fishing village. After the events of Amazing Adventures, however, that life is shattered.
What's Going to Happen: Chi reunites with old friends to renew the search for Fu Manchu, and things will only grow more critical when a Si-Fan attack leaves one of them hovering near death.
Down the Road: A Marvel villain will make his MA debut! The search for Fu Manchu will go round the MA world! And Rufus T. Hackstabber will make his grand return!
MIDNIGHT SONS
Josh Reynolds
Link: ma.bhyphen.com/titlemidnightsons.html
What You Should Know: The history of the Book of Sins is written in the souls of those it touches. But now, the Darkhold is gone. Released in a shower of terrible pages, scattered across the dark corners of the world. But that doesn't mean that it is forgotten. The Council of Masks seeks their most holy of holy for the glory of Chthon, but Mordred the Mystic has his own plans for the book that ate his soul so many centuries ago in forgotten Camelot. And what of Dracula, Lord of the Vampires? At the height of a celebration to his red majesty, his heart begins to beat anew, and he feels the weight of a mortal soul resting within him. Now, those he once counted as servants seek his death, but even as a man, Dracula was not to be taken lightly. In Budapest, ex-CIA agent comes to similar conclusions about Michael Morbius, as he recruits the living vampire for a mysterious agency known only as the Black Chamber. And, in Rome, the man known as Blade seems to have at last found allies in his crusade against the damned...but can the mysterious Montesi Order be trusted, or will the flame of their fanaticism burn even Blade, the man they wish to recruit?
What's Going to Happen: Dracula, human and powerless, nonetheless must find the answer to the secret of his transmogrification, and to do that, he must find allies. But can anyone rescue the former King of the Undead from the vengeful clutches of the Montesi Order and Blade? And what does Lilith, Dracula's hated daughter, have to do with things? Meanwhile, Morbius finds out exactly what the government agency known as the Black Chamber wants from him, as well as several other individuals whose lives have been irrevocably altered by the Darkhold...
Down the Road: Dracula finds strange allies in his quest, including a certain empath. The truth behind the creation of Frankenstein' s Monster. The fate of Victoria Montesi's demon-child. An unlikely romance between two natural enemies. The Living Mummy battles Werewolf by Night. Morbius and Mordred, alone against the spawn of Chthon. The Devil-Gods of Atlantis awaken!
SOLO AVENGERS
Mike Hintze
Link: ma.bhyphen.com/titlesoloavengers.html
What You Should Know: A series spotlighting the solo adventures of the Earth’s Mightiest Heroes!
What's Going to Happen: While these will be solo tales starring Iron Man, Black Panther, Thunderstrike and more, the individual tales will link together into a much larger spectacle, bringing together the Avengers legacies from the past….and the future….to combat a threat like no other!
Down the Road: The culmination of the first year will result in new characters and a new status for the Avengers, but not the Avengers you’re thinking of…
WEST COAST AVENGERS
Clayton Tooley
Link: ma.bhyphen.com/titlewcavengers.html
What You Should Know: The most unimpressive, unprepared and unlikeable team of Avengers ever assembled have just pulled off a minor miracle, defeating the Master of the World's plan to use the Original Human Torch to create an unbeatable army of zombie-like Lava Men to use in a bid to conquer the universe. With minimal leadership and lots of distrust and border-line hatred for each other, they rose to their status as Avengers and saved the day...but took a hell of a beating getting there.
What's Going to Happen: Recovering on Hydrobase 2, USAgent and War Machine have a lot of answering to do to SHIELD and Colonel Dum Dum Dugan, who is not at all pleased by recent events. However, a rogue piece of Plodex technology sends the team off on a variety of traumatic trips through history that bring a lot of storylines and personal histories into question and redefines many of them...but none more so than the Master of the World himself! Plus, what does Sersi have to do with this and why does it not sit well at all with the Prince of Power?!?
Down the Road: Spinning directly out of the next arc, Hercules and Rage hit Las Vegas to bring Sersi to task, but instead run nose-to-nose with the Gray Hulk, whose itching for a chance to prove once and for all he is the biggest badass around...too bad for him Hercules has never been more angry in his life and unconcerned with a non-Green Hulk. Namorita will continue to contend with her 'Kymaera' side, USAgent's past urges return to haunt him, and the relationship between the Human Torch and Spitfire takes a turn for the worst when she makes an actual deal with a devil to restore him to life!
All this plus War Machine, Stingray and a tragedy unlike any he's suffered since WWII brings Dum Dum Dugan into a different opinion about this unlikely team of Avengers!
It's unpredictable. ..it's unappealing. ..it's unapologetic. ..it's the West Coast Avengers at Marvel Anthology!! Get your hate-mail's written before it's too late!!

What You Should Know: Pietro Maximoff, son of Magneto, now resides in rule of Genosha after his father's untimely death at the hands of Wolverine. He along with Polaris, Amelia Voght, and others intend to rebuild Genosha into a place where mutants can truly be free and live without persecution. But no new home is built overnight...
What's Going to Happen: Exodus refuses to believe in his Lord Magneto's death and begins to search high and low to find him. Even if that high means space. Just what the hell does he do to make The Imperial Guard come knocking on President Maximoff's door? And how will Pietro deal with the growing demands of a new nation? As Shola Inkose, head of the new Press Gang, will learn; policing a nation full of walking WMDs is hard business. Then there is the matter of The Heirs. Follow Medea and Moses Magnum as they continue on their quest to gather them.
Down the Road: A new shining star on the world stage is not seen as a good thing by everyone. Another's hero's archnemesis comes knocking on Gensoha's door. And even the CDC can't handle the Pandemic that is about to come Genosha's way...

What You Should Know: Xavier's dream is more successful than it has ever been, but that makes the stakes to preserve it all the greater. Emma Frost and Wolverine know the cost of preserving what you want better than most. So without Xavier's knowledge they enlisted Alex Summers and created the secret strikeforce known as X-Force. The team has recently found itself embroiled in a conflict between Mikhail Rasputin, Selene, and Dark Beast over Phalanx samples.
What's Going to Happen: Abyss has an intimate night with Selene and finds out they have a new deadly foe they're going to have to contend with and it ain't Selene. The team travels to Somalia to track down whoever is now claiming the idea of Genegineer and run smack dab into Ahab who is being assisted by an all-new, crazy ass group of Hounds. And just what secret is Dr. Reyes keeping from the rest of her teammates?
Down the Road: Things get very, very bad for the team. Someone dies and someone is taken captive. You would think a Nanny could console them, but this ain't that kind of Nanny. And just when things can't get bad enough there is a team called The Winter Wolves waiting for them. Not to mention it looks like Havok is sliding off the deep end...
