Now, at his absolute lowest point, it will take Tony's last reservoir of will - and a band of brothers including Thor, Captain America, War Machine and Black Widow - to keep from losing it all and sow the seeds for a brighter tomorrow. Stark Industries' arms-manufacturing days are over: Tony's new company, Stark Resilient, is bringing modern tech to the masses without bringing innocent people to their knees.

They've started a deadly game of international intrigue that will bring one of Iron Man's deadliest foes back into the fray - but for the Hammer girls, that was merely the opening salvo.

It sounds like a joke, or at least the kind of problem the X-Men certainly don't need to trouble themselves with: alligators in the sewers, the ultimate urban myth. But rumor becomes deadly reality when strange, reptilian creatures are found to be living under Manhattan. Huge masses of dead bodies are discovered in the creatures' lair, along with an ally in the fight: the Amazing Spider-Man! Reptilian creatures point to an old Spidey foe: Dr. Curt Connors, the biologist tragically transformed into the Lizard. But there's a larger, darker presence pulling the strings. As more people are transformed - including three of the X-Men - Spider-Man and the remaining mutants will have to battle foes on multiple fronts to survive the day and win their teammates back!

Deadpool never thought it would happen to him. He never thought his new life as a non-killing dad would start out so blissfully and end up like this - with his wife having all the espionage-themed fun and him at home taking care of a screaming baby, wondering when its batteries will run out. Can Deadpool pull his life back together, save his marriage and stop the spread of the deadly Liquid X? Probably not, but one out of three ain't bad. Then, when Deadpool goes AWOL, Hydra Bob knows that if anyone finds out, he'll spend the rest of his miserable days in a very deep and dark hole. With world on the brink of Armageddon, Bob must don Deadpool's abandoned duds and go it alone. But will years of experience and red tights be enough to stop the terrorist plans of the deadly Moon Knights and their stockpile of Liquid X? Hell no. Collecting DEADPOOL MAX (2010) #7-12.
