Stories

  • The Coulson Protocols Episode Five: Shanghaied · 20 pages

    Coulson is captured by Grant Ward, who has been the man in the old Iron Man armor we've seen in previous issues. Deathlok learns that Jemma is dying of a disease. The team sets out to rescue Coulson. In Japan, an unknown man in the same armor as Grant Ward attacks and almost kills Spider-Man, until he is saved by Mockingbird and May. Grant Ward reveals to Hydra that he has an army of Iron Men who all have the Coulson protocols built-in. In flashback, we see Ward, as an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., going undercover in Hydra, and being turned.
