David Lizewski has taken a horrifying and exhilarating plunge. Armed with minimal combat training and a pair of batons, he donned a mask and set out to become a real super hero, Kick-Ass. And he succeeded. Wildly. Kick-Ass and 'tween black belt Hit-Girl took on the Mafia - and won. The idea went viral. Suddenly, it became fashionable to put on a costume. Everyone wanted to be a super hero. The next logical step for Kick-Ass? Join a super-hero team. But Kick-Ass' former ally, Red Mist, thinks heroes are passé. Red Mist will be the world's most notorious super villain. When he targets Kick-Ass' family, can Kick-Ass stop Red Mist and his team of villains? And when the conflict becomes a massive-scale riot in Times Square, can Kick-Ass survive being a hero? Collecting KICK-ASS 2 #1-7.

Cover by MIKE MCKONE

Cyclops - destroyer of worlds? After presiding over a mutant schism as leader of the X-Men, it looks like a visit from Storm may make Cyclops himself again - but it quickly becomes apparent that Storm is not herself, either. She's from another reality - one in which Cyclops soon finds himself a prisoner. And the key to his survival rests in his fellow captives, although they aren't the X-Men he knows. Alongside General James Howlett, Cyclops will battle this world's so-called "Savior" to save himself and countless other mutants. But there's a reason Savior has been gathering and sacrificing mutants from other worlds. And if Cyclops is to liberate himself and his strange new friends, it may mean dooming this planet and all its inhabitants!

If they do, the worst of the worst galactic criminals are waiting for them, courtesy of an explosive jailbreak from S.W.O.R.D.'s orbiting prison. Will the combined might of the X-Men and Avengers be enough to bring them all in? As the heroes fight a global battle on multiple fronts, the mysterious presence known as Unit corners Hope Summers in Canada's wintry wastelands. And with Hope's survival in question, so is mutantkind's. Collecting UNCANNY X-MEN (2012) #5-10.
