In "The Day That Ant-Man Failed!", the hero takes on a string of mysterious armored car heists, using a clever ruse to expose the true culprit—only to uncover a shocking betrayal from an unexpected source. The story pits Ant-Man’s wits against a mastermind hidden in plain sight, turning a routine investigation into a tense game of deception.

In "The Thunder-God and the Thug!", a wounded gangster orders his men to kidnap Dr. Blake to save his life, unaware that Blake’s transformation into Thor will bring more than medical help—he’ll bring justice. With Jane in danger and the streets under siege, the thunder god must face down a criminal empire before the city falls.

In the shadowed streets of Haiti, adventurer Oscar Bellows steals the fabled Voodoo Phone from a wary Voodoo Master—unaware that its power to summon a zombie comes with a price. With the phone in hand, Bellows sets out to reclaim what was taken from him, calling forth a creature of the night to exact his revenge.

In "The Little Monsters," a young man arrives at his uncle’s African plantation seeking help with his gambling debts, only to face a cold refusal.

In "Terror in the North!", a lone American hunter dismisses the villagers’ claims of a werewolf, braving a raging storm to hunt down the beast he believes is responsible. As he sleeps, a sudden pain jolts him awake—his arm torn open, his reflection in the mirror twisted into a snarling wolf’s face. With no hope of resisting the change, he makes a desperate choice, ending his life before the curse takes hold. Outside, the ordinary wolf that had been watching from the shadows turns and vanishes into the dark woods.
