The Gals - What's an adventure without a damsel in distress? Unfortunately for Wolverine, all the ladies he encounters are more interested in taking his scalop than winning his heart. Even worse, they may just succeed.

Ritual and Belief - "Some bad ideas never die." The words alluded to a decade-old government project to create a Super-Soldier, and moments after speaking them, Senator Wilbur Wycombe fell victim to the blade of a masked assailant. But is Wycombe dead? Why was his body transported from Washington D.C. to Florida into the hands of the very men his Senate committee was investigating? Is it possible the government never abandoned the Super-Soldier Prject after it had gone awry and transformed biochemist Ted Sallis into the monstrous Man-Thing?

Fish - With terrorism escalating in Hong Kong, Blackjack Tarr's "games" of tradecraft have become more deadly than ever. Shang-Chi refuses to play. Then the new agent Xiao is murdered - and Chi's former lover Leiko Wu kidnapped.

The Measure of a Man - Wherein Ben Grimm learns that the more things change, the more they remain the same.
