About this Collection

This collection pairs up heroes from across the Marvel Universe in a series of standalone team-up stories, featuring unexpected duos like Spider-Man and Wolverine, Captain America and Storm, and Iron Man and Thor. Each issue delivers a complete, action-packed adventure that highlights the unique chemistry between two characters, often with a twist or a fresh take on their dynamics. The volume gathers the first six issues of the 2013 series, offering a sampler of creative pairings and high-energy superheroics.

In "Fight for the Future," Hulk and Wolverine face off against their darker, future selves in a clash that reshapes the present. Written by Jeph Loeb and illustrated by Dale Keown, with inks by Danny Miki and colors by Frank D'Armata, this pivotal A+X #1 introduces a high-stakes confrontation where alternate versions of the heroes confront a dire truth: the Red Hulk must die for the world to survive. The cover by Ed McGuinness captures the intensity of the moment, setting the tone for a story that redefines legacy and sacrifice.
