Project: Blackout, Part 1 / If This Planet You Would Save!
"Project: Blackout" - Two years ago, there was a blackout in the city that Fury and Captain America went to investigate. It centered around the Statue of Liberty, where high-tech invaders were assembling various unusual devices. Captain America headed for the Baxter Building to get a shutdown device of some sort, while Fury pressed on, only to be captured by those not interested in taking prisoners. "If This Planet You Would Save" - Strange faces Mordo, forcing him to see the danger at hand, as well as the futility of attacking Strange. The two then draw the newfound mystic abilities out of Mordo's followers in hopes of standing against the Tribunal and his wrath.
