Stories

Untitled · 22 pages
Norman Osborn helps Luke do what even his super powered buddies could not: track down the Jarvis Skrull and get his baby back. When Bullseye kills the Jarvis Skrull in cold blood, Luke decides to break his deal with Osborn and refuses to work for him. As Luke and Jessica return to the Avengers with their child, they are surprised to find that Osborn has unveiled his own version of the team and the "new" Avengers vow to take down the "dark" Avengers and get their name back.

Publisher’s description

Luke Cage must find his child and he will do anything he has to to bring her home safely... including teaming up with the one person he has sworn vengeance against. Building to the bombastic 50th anniversary issue.
