Last issue took place at an Alicia Masters art opening, and this three-issue arc involves some super-powered performance artists called the Avant-Guard who blanket New York in a freak snowstorm.
One of them, The Painter, has had a few appearances in places other than this arc.

He’s a flesh sack full of cockroaches. Don’t ask.
Anyway, about that snowstorm…A bunch of other heroes from Avengers, X-Men and New Warriors help New Yorkers manage the weather, which enables this…
