On a beautiful day along the Hudson River, Iron Man and the Human Torch participate in a training exercise for West Point cadets. But the exercise is interrupted by the sudden appearance of Rogue! Shell-Head and the torch chase after her, and then abruptly all three of them disappear! What is going on? Apparently, an alien race called the Coterie has abducted the super-heroes of Earth and transported them to a massive starship. And now under the influence of tiny nanites, the Earth's super-heroes are ready to battle one another for the grand prize! However one hero is unaffected by the nanites: the Invincible Iron Man! As a result the golden avenger is chosen for the first fight in the arena. And as shown of the cover, his opponent is Psylocke! Let the games begin!

The galactic games continue somewhere deep in outer space at the Coterie's behest! The first clash is the new Spider-Woman (aka Mattie Franklin) vs. the Human Torch!

Meanwhile, after defeating Psylocke is his first contest, the golden avenger was defeated by X-Force. And subsequently exiled to an alien bio-system of unknown origin and location! But Iron Man discovers that Psylocke is here too! Can the former combatants work together to escape? Cameo appearances by Shadowcat and Brother Royal.

"Culling the Herd" Script by Chris Claremont. Pencils by Oscar Jimenez. Inks by Eduardo Alpuente. Cover by Oscar Jimenez and Eduardo Alpuente. The next round of contests starts with a doozy: Cable vs. the Scarlet Witch! And ends with a classic: Thor vs. Storm! In between many heroes score victories to advance...including the Black Panther, Black Widow, Daredevil, Deadpool, Domino, Gambit, Hawkeye, Invisible Woman, Phoenix, and Spider-Man. While the losers of the matches are dumped into the strange bio-system where Iron Man and Psylocke are currently trapped. However thanks to a hex thrown during Wanda's fight, Lockdown and Rosetta Stone -- two heroes from the negative zone -- appear in the bio-system and join forces with Earth's heroes. And that becomes very, very important once Psylocke realizes the alien Coterie are actually: the Brood! Cameo appearances by Brother Royal, Shadowcat, and Warbird. 32 pages. Cover price $2.50.
