their own. But, a terrible secret is about to tear them apart and bring
about a murder at the mansion! One of Earth's greatest heroes will die
and there'll be plenty of suspects! New Members! New Adventures! And New
Secrets! All this and Ultimate Venom too!
The Brotherhood vs. the Ultimates…Hawkeye vs. Spider-Man…the
shocker of the year rocks on! Reeling from the sneak attack by Venom, the
team has no time to recover—because the evil mutant team known as
The Brotherhood has launched a full–scale assault on Tony Stark’s
mansion! It’s Captain America vs. Sabretooth, Iron Man vs. Mystique…and
Thor vs. Valkyrie? Plus: Which mega-popular character (nope, not Spidey)

The long-docile race of the Blue no longer want solitude in their underwater
habitat after the human's latest attack -- they now want revenge! After
thwarting the invasion of the Blue cities by Admiral Maylander's Navy,
Aspen Matthews and Chance Calloway have found some much needed seclusion
together in a beach house south of the border. But, their romantic getaway
will be short-lived as the return of the murderous Killian, now at full-strength,
is ready to strike once more against the humans -- along with his reunited
daughter, Kiani! Plus, the hatred from below the surface is also shared
by one other race -- the ancient and most powerful underwater beings
known as the Black! However, the U.S. Navy has plans of their own for
the Blue, as well as a new leader with special ties to both Aspen and
Chance!
Written by J.T. Krul; Pencils by Ale Garza;

Death and destruction have risen above the surface
behind the wrath of Killian and Kiani's bloody
vengeance! With the aftermath of their attack on
a historic American location sending ripples across
the oceans and beneath, any hope for peace between
the Humans and the Blue is completely lost as a
new threat has emerged to lead the human invasion.
Meanwhile, Aspen makes her return below the surface
to Muria with Cannon and Chance, and encounters
the Blue's special guest!
