Stories

Captains Courageous: The Return of Captain Marvel · 13 pages
This issue tells the story of how Mar-vell is pulled (by accident) from the past, into our present time, where he is requested by Tony Stark to become the warden of the Negative Zone prison known as "42" until it's destruction in Civil War #7. This does not necessarily undo Mar-Vell's death as he will likely have to return to his own time to succumb to the cancer growing in his body.
The Decision · 10 pages
On Earth, the Sentry confronts his inner demons as the shadows of past and future battles tear him apart.

Publisher’s description

As the Civil War rages on, two of the universe's greatest heroes are confronted with pasts they can't leave behind. On Earth, the Sentry confronts his inner demons as the shadows of past and future battles tear him apart!
