Max Fury throws a fit, imprisoned on Lighthouse Station, threatening
the Secret Avengers with dire fates. Black Ant sneaks into his cell in miniature
form and grows to full size; Fury begs to get out, trying to justify his
seeking the power of the Abyss independent of Father’s wishes (issue #29-32).
Black Ant hands him the papers to sign over ownership of Bagalia to Father;
once Fury has signed, Black Ant blasts him apart and goes over to free the Human Torch
(Jim Hammond) from cryo-sleep. He hustles the ailing Torch into the Pymporter
and sends him down to the Descendants while teleporting in Emperor Doombot,
Lady Deathstrike, Yalda, Origin, and Urn. Yalda begins the search for her son Parvez….
In Otherworld, Hawkeye is visiting Captain Britain to
recover the Orb of Necromancy; Cap B takes him into Earth-666 where they meet
the Avengers of the Undead, monstrous versions of Captain America, Thor,
Spider-Man, Wolverine, Punisher, Black Widow, Hawkeye, and Daredevil, led by
Brother Voodoo. Cap B had given the Orb into the custody of Brother Voodoo, reasoning
that the undead would have no use for it. Voodoo reluctantly agrees to lead
them through Shuma-Gorath’s Ego Maze, warning them of the danger. He leads them
into the presence of the Undead Celestial who holds the Orb, where they are
attacked by the Undead Avengers who plan to carry out the Celestial’s program
to spread undeath throughout reality….
Back at the Lighthouse, Hank Pym is studying a dead
Ultravision when he is interrupted by Deathlok Wasp and she tries to persuade
him to come with her; when that fails she just knocks him out. In a bedroom,
Valkyrie and Flash Thompson are having sex when Lady Deathstrike, Yalda and Urn
enter. Val snatches up her sword and chops up Lady D so Yalda breathes fire and
blows a hole in the bulkhead. Yalda finds Parvez and the Descendants hurry to
the teleporter where Origin has created mini Human Torches that set fire to the
Station as the others teleport away. Flash and Val are sucked out into space….
