Twins Alec and Walker spend their last summer before college at their cousin’s home in the Southern United States. But, Alec was in the middle of some really in-depth experiments on plants and memory, so he’s brought them with him. When the dogs get into the boxes, they slowly start to change into the plants Alec has been experimenting on. Walker is a socialite and tries to get introverted Alec to join the party scene, but Alec isn’t interested in being with people. Alec makes one friend, another student using the school science lab over summer, and she shares her research on an extremely old oak tree that has been in the town since its founding.  A boneheaded prank destroys a prized plant, and Alec uses puts his experimental formula into action to save what he can.

At the end of volume seven, the students were paired and pitted against a UA teacher as a type of final exam, and the first half of this volume concludes that storyline. Midoriya and Kacchan get paired and go against All Might.  The objective is either to incapacitate the teacher, or to escape through an exit gate.  Most teams plan to escape rather than fight such strong heroes.  Bottom line, the team needs to work together and was paired together because this might not be the easiest thing to do.  Not everyone in Class-A passes their exam.  Thus, the Class A heroes-in-training go to a summer camp to receive extra training to catch up to where they should be.

T’Challa and Shuri take on the two prongs of this Wakandan  Civil War, but one at a time. First, T’Challa gets the philosopher Changamire to see how his teachings have led to this moment, and Changamire gives T’Challa some other advice about kingship that sticks with him. Then T'Challa and Shuri go after Tetu and Zenzi, and they must win over the men Zenzi is controlling with her powers.  With Tetu out of the picture, Zenzi flees the country, presumably to regroup and come back to wage new war against T'Challa. Now, the only thing left is to confront the Midnight Angels, the fallen Dora Milaji, and have them come to terms with their choices and what they are demanding.

Presented in this oversized, library edition is two stories from the universe of Black Hammer: Sherlock Frankenstein and the Legion of Evil, and Doctor Andromeda and the Kingdom of Lost Tomorrows.  

The first story follows Lucy Weber as she tries to piece together what happened with her dad.  Ten years ago, her father, Black Hammer, and many other heroes, disappeared when they were fighting "Anti-God." Most believe the heroes were killed in the explosion, but Doctor Andromeda and Lucy have reason to believe that the heroes were transported somewhere else, and she uses her journalism experience to put together clues.  Her trail leads her to needing to find Sherlock Frankenstein, one of the major super-villains of Spiral City.

The second story details how Doctor Andromeda discovered the Para-Zone and was able to harness its energy to give him super power.  The U. S. Government was particularly keen on his development as a potential weapon to help in the fight against Hitler.  One day, Doctor Andromeda discovers that there is intelligent life out there, and he rushes off to meet it.  He makes a huge mistake that costs him his family, and he many years trying to right the wrongs he's committed against his wife and only son.

T’Challa enlists the help of some other marvel super heroes to confront his enemies.  He’s trying to keep the rebellion down on too many fronts, and the anarchists, Tetu and Zenzi, are starting to gather more followers to them. The rogue Dora Milaje have gathered the rest of their sisters-in-arms to also usurp the king, but they haven’t figured out who would replace T'Challa yet. Meanwhile, Shuri, still in her coma, is working through stories inside the Djalia, the plane of Wakandan memory, with her “mother,” a culmination of the queens of Wakanda. Shuri doesn’t quite know the meaning of the stories she’s learning, but they will probably make sense to what’s happening in Wakanda without her.

Batman saves a little boy and his parents right before they’re killed in the same manner as his own parents, and, in turn, the little boy grows up wanting to be just like Batman. He and his sister become Gotham and Gotham girl and fight crime trying to save the city. Batman isn't sure if he can trust them, so he puts them through some training and tests to see if they're superhero material.  Wouldn't it be nice to have Justice League - level superheroes right in Gotham, rather than having to call Superman and Wonder Woman all the time?
