In "The Teeth of Our Skin," Stan Lee takes the stage as ringmaster for a high-stakes showdown between Skin and the X-Cutioner, unaware that the truth behind the conflict runs deeper than either man realizes. Written by Scott Lobdell and Stan Lee, with dynamic art by Chris Bachalo and inks by Mark Buckingham, the story unfolds with a twist that redefines identity and memory. The cover by Ray Lago captures the tension of this gripping, mystery-driven clash.
In "The Teeth of Our Skin," Stan Lee serves as ringmaster for a high-stakes clash between the enigmatic Skin and the relentless X-Cutioner, whose vendetta stems from a tragic misunderstanding—believing Skin responsible for the death of a boy named Angelo Espinosa. What neither combatant knows, yet the reader slowly begins to suspect, is that Skin and Angelo are one and the same.
In "The Devil's Work!", Matt returns to the Nelson and Murdock law office after a run-in with Mr. Hyde, only to find the firm’s doors opening to a sharp new partner: the ambitious Rosalind Sharpe. As old tensions and new ambitions collide, Matt must navigate the courtroom and the shadows—where the line between justice and deception is thinner than ever.
In "With Great Power ...," Marvel's mightiest heroes unite with the X-Men for a desperate assault on the terrifying Onslaught. Facing overwhelming odds, the team must confront the true cost of victory as some are forced to make the ultimate sacrifice in the fight for survival.
