Meanwhile, a battle-weary Captain America struggles to defeat a horrific new threat to the freedom of all Americans. And all the while, forces beyond their comprehension move to reveal a fate no one could have imagined.

Unveiling wild versions of Marvel's greatest personalities including the X-Men, Thor, the Hulk, the Fantastic Four, Daredevil, the Avengers and Spider-Man, this sprawling adventure presents an intriguing vision of the Marvel Universe.
