FEAR ITSELF TIE-IN
What else is there to fear but FEAR ITSELF? A nuclear-bomb-equipped Hellicarrier stolen by a terrorist sleeper cell and docked over New York City is probably a good candidate. Wolverine and Melita race against the clock to shut down STRIKE before STRIKE takes out half of the city!

However, an offer by the Serpent’s servant puts human and mutant at each others’ throats.

FEAR ITSELF TIE-IN
Memo to Deadpool: next time you gussy up a loser villain so you can beat him easily and scam people out of their hard earned money, make sure you don’t accidentally actually make him more powerful than you.  Of course, that assumes you’ll be willing to show your face after getting beaten by the now-unstoppable-but-still-incredibly-lame Walrus. Deadpool puts the hammer down and drives home the most irreverent tie-in of the year!
