Released from custody by Osborn himself in exchange for a future favor, the new Jack O'Lantern steps into a shadowy world where power and blood are currency. Written by Frank Tieri and brought to life by John Paul Leon’s striking interior art, with Dave Stewart’s haunting colors and VC’s crisp lettering, the issue sets a tense, atmospheric tone. The cover, a stark and unsettling vision by Jae Lee, captures the grim weight of the new era.
In "Ill-Gotten Gains," Zodiac strikes at the heart of H.A.M.M.E.R. by stealing the Red Ronin from Fujikawa Enterprises and unleashing it upon New York City, setting off a chain of chaos designed to expose Norman Osborn’s corruption. The story unfolds with tense precision, blending high-stakes sabotage with the looming shadow of a hidden agenda.
In "Death's Finest Addiction," Iron Patriot (Norman Osborn) and Ms. Marvel (Sofen) face off against the unstoppable Red Ronin, a mechanical menace tearing through the city. As the battle escalates, the line between hero and villain blurs in a clash of power, pride, and something far more dangerous.
In "Made Men: Spymaster," Osborn hunts down the original Spymaster to recover a long-lost photograph of Tony Stark and his parents, a relic tied to secrets buried in the past. With the mission complete, the Spymaster vanishes—faking his death to disappear into the shadows once more.
In this 8-page tale from Dark Reign: The Underside, Victor von Doom resurrects Attuma—once a fearsome ruler of the undersea realm—and tasks him with a new purpose. With the ocean’s depths now a battleground of ambition and power, Attuma must decide whether to serve Doom’s grand design or forge his own path.
In a shadowed corner of the Dark Reign underworld, a new Jack O'Lantern rises—silent, ritualistic, and marked by a chilling act of sacrifice. When Norman Osborn intervenes to free the figure from custody, the exchange is clear: power for a promise, and the future remains unwritten.
In "Made Men: Enforcer," the mantle of the Enforcer passes from the original Delazny to his nephew, stepping into a legacy defined by power and consequence. When the Hood approaches with a tempting offer, the new Enforcer must decide what kind of man he wants to be—without revealing how he chooses.
