Line 12:
* Vol 1 (The Fifth Week Event): Focuses on the Avengers and Dr. Strange with some cameos by Spider-Man, Fantastic Four and the X-Men battling a Godzilla-size Hulk. Two issues which served as bookends for most of the stand alone titles below (which were also collected in the trade paperback release). Art and writing on the bookends by ''[[Ninja High School]]'' creator Ben Dunn.
* Vol 2 (The monthly series): Two story arcs, the first dealing with Captain Marvel, the Fantastic Four (who play a more central role here), Galactus, and The Inhumans. The second half deal with a battle against Doctor Doom. Ben Dunn handled art and writing here, too.
* ''New Mangaverse: New Rings of Fate'': The finale of the Mangaverse, dealing with a [[Kill
'''Stand Alones'''
Line 18:
* X-Men: Save for a few custom designs, not much has changed in this version. Mutants are being persecuted, the X-Men try to save the day. There are a few surprising twists here and there.
* The Punisher: Rarely seen stand-alone comic that showcases the Punisher as a samurai/geisha being out to stop a demon-summoning crimelord. In this version though, the Punisher is a woman who "punishes" though spankings, bondage, and other [[Cool and Unusual Punishment]] instead of a large body count. She still bears the marking of the original anti-hero. Written by [[Peter David]]; drawn by Lea Hernandez. Warning: [[Incredibly Lame Pun|Incredibly Lame Puns]].
* Fantastic Four: [[Empowered (Comic Book)|Adam Warren]] writes what's essentially a [[Fusion Fic]] with ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]''. After a disastrous experiment [[Gone Horribly Wrong]], [[Fiery Redhead]] [[Jerkass]] [[Gender Flip|Johnatha]] Storm, her incredibly [[Emotionless Girl|withdrawn and emotionless]] half-sister [[My Nayme Is|Sioux]], and the [[Hidden Badass]] milquetoast Benjamin ([[It Is Pronounced "Tro-PAY"|prounounced "Ben-ya-meen"]]) Grimm use the strange powers they gained to fight a succession of enormous alien beings attacking the Baxter Building, under the direction of their arrogant, womanizing genius commander, Reed Richards.
* [[The Avengers (Comic Book)|The Avengers]]: The disembodied head of Anthony Stark has the Avengers gather the parts of a [[Combining Mecha]] to battle the Hulk, battling Apocalypse and his Horsemen along the way.
* [[Ghost Rider|Ghost Riders]]: A [[Walking Shirtless Scene]] Daimon Hellstrom walks up to Johnny Blaze one evening and tells him that they're both '''[[Large Ham|SONS OF SATAN]]''', and that Johnny's got to help deal with both the Hulk and their [[Attack of the Fifty Foot Whatever|giant demoness sister]] wandering through town. Daimon sets Johnny's head on fire to help prove his point; Johnny's disturbed. Written by Chuck Austen.
Line 46:
** Jonatha ends up looking like Asuka from [[Neon Genesis Evangelion|Evangelion]] in New Mangaverse, which makes her fit more as an expy of her in part. She and Spider-Woman ( {{spoiler|Mary Jane in New Mangaverse, Peter's student in the ways of the Spider-Clan by this time}}) are both essentially expies of her in this regard, while Black Cat replaces Sioux as the new physical expy of Rei Ayanami, looking almost identical to her in terms of facial construction save for a set of stripes under each eye. Peter Parker goes this route as well, becoming a relatively close expy of Shinji in New Mangaverse.
* [[Face Heel Turn]]: {{spoiler|Nick Fury and Black Cat in the New Mangaverse.}}
* [[Gender Flip]]: Multiple cases (Johnatha Storm, the Punisher, {{spoiler|Doctor Doom}}). Zig-zagged with Iron Man; we first meet Antoinette Stark in the first volume, but we later find out that her brother Anthony is still alive -- if [[
* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]: Compare New Mangaverse to [[Ultimatum]], really.
* [[Hoist By His Own Petard]]: {{spoiler|The Hand (the main big bad in the New Mangaverse) attack a military base leaving many dead. Carol Danvers is among such though she is left for dead. The attack on her changes her body giving her superpowers. It thanks to her that the remaining superheroes were saved before The Hand could kill them and managed to turn the fight around. All due to The Hand not checking their handiwork.}}
* [[How Do I Shot Web]]: Captain Marvel, having to learn very fast in his situation.
* [[Kill
* [[Left Hanging]]: See Cliff Hanger
* [[Man Behind the Man]]: Once again see Cliff Hanger.
* [[
* [[Our Presidents Are Different|President Action]]: [[Captain America|President Steve Rogers]].
* [[Princess Curls]]: Johnatha Storm. ''New Mangaverse'' switches her over to [[Girlish Pigtails]].
