American Heroes #4

In "Sillaba o muori! (L'ultimo Czarniano parte terza)," Vril Dox's elaborate scheme takes an unexpected turn when Lobo and Miss Tribb vanish from his surveillance—snatched by a bizarre vessel of intellectuals who force Lobo into a high-stakes spelling bee where failure means disintegration. With Miss Tribb quietly doubting her former pupil’s chances, the brutal survivor instincts Lobo honed across countless war-torn worlds prove unexpectedly useful. Now, having survived the verbal gauntlet, Lobo sets his sights on a well-earned break—though peace may be the last thing he expects.

In "Oggi il Terminator!", the H.I.V.E. attempts to hire the Terminator to eliminate the New Teen Titans, only to have their plan backfire when the Terminator refuses. Instead, they empower Grant Wilson with Terminator-like abilities, transforming him into Ravager, who takes up the contract—leading to a brutal clash with the Titans. As the line between hunter and hunted blurs, the Terminator tries to warn Ravager of the cost of wielding such power, but the choice is already made.

In "Il licenziamento di Gotham," Black Canary answers a museum robbery call only to confront Solomon Grundy in the heart of Gotham. As their battle spills into the city streets, a mysterious force awakens an ancient warrior, Sagittarius, while Green Lantern rises to face the celestial threat above.

In "I Challengers devono morire! parte seconda," the once-celebrated Challengers Of The Unknown are scattered and broken—Rocky drowning in drink, Ace lost in spiritual musings, Red simmering with bitterness—until a mysterious red mist draws Prof Haley and June Robbins into a desperate mission. When a bomb detonates during their experiment, the resulting explosion levels Challenger Mountain and Challengerville, forcing the former heroes to rush back and save lives. But their efforts don’t earn them gratitude—they earn handcuffs, as the law sees them as suspects in their own city’s destruction.
