Hong Kong Inferno - Wolverine is led to a secret underground grotto by a Chinese woman named Mai, and her friends, Hsiao and Ch'un. Logan is told that they are hunting the Black Shadow, a creature who destroyed a city street in Hong Kong. Before they can create a plan, the Black Shadow appears once again. Wolverine attacks and is almost destroyed as a second creature appears, this time a menacing White Shadowl. The two shadow creatures are about to battle each other, with an unconscious Wolverine caught between them.

Some Enchanted Evening - There's nothing like spending an evening with an old friend. But, if you're the bludgeoning, blue-furred Beast and that old friend is Wonder Man - you may not get what you expected! Has Wonder Man lost his mind - or is there more to this picture than meets the eye?

The Hit - The Emperor Mother has set her plan for Galactic domination into motion. With Skyppi the Skrull, in the form of Emperor Arimathes, under her control, Layana has sent the Elite of the Assassin's Guild to capture and detain her son. As for Hercules and those who stand with him - death awaits.

...Anything - He was the vessel for the collective intelligence of a warrior race that has long since died. He roamed the stars in search of conquest, but met defeat against the heroes of Earth. Now sharing his consciousness and incredible mental powers with six of our planet's most powerful telepaths, Overmine has learned that not all wars take place on the battlefield.
