Marvel's Secret Artist
2 pp · Humor

In a brief, wry tale from *Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars #5*, an anonymous artist’s sudden fame hinges on a single, wildly inappropriate piece of fan art: She-Hulk violently subduing a group of men while the Hulk watches with unmistakable admiration. The story plays on the absurdity of creative obsession, turning a single splash page into a surreal backstage pass to the mind behind the masterpiece.

Tempest Without, Crisis Within Chapter Two
12 pp · Superhero

In "Tempest Without, Crisis Within Chapter Two," the storm-lashed landscape of Battleworld hides growing tensions among the heroes: the Wasp finds herself entangled with her captor, Magneto, while the Hulk grapples with a quiet dread that his mind may be slipping. Spider-Man, reeling from the X-Men’s sudden shift in allegiance, lashes out in fury—only to have his memories erased by Xavier. As dawn breaks, the heroes’ defenses falter when the Hulk fails his post, leaving them exposed to a swift and brutal assault by the villains, who now have new allies at their side.
