| AMAZING SPIDER-MAN # 563 The Story: Pencil and Cover by "McLovin'" MIKE McKONE Remember that joke that starts, “So Spider-Man walks into a bar, and…?” Well, when it’s the villain-filled Bar With No Name, it’s no joke – it’s a barroom brawl as only Mike McKone can draw it! And that’s only the beginning of one of the most maddening nights in Spidey’s life! Throw in The Enforcers, The Bookie, and a climax at Coney Island, and you’ve got a recipe for the nuttiest Spider-Man story this year. Gale didn’t tell us what he was drinking when he wrote it, but it must have been pretty good stuff! ULTIMATE FANTASTIC FOUR # 55 The Story: Are you ready for Ultimate Salem’s Seven? Who are they, and what do they want with the Human Torch? Unfortunately, Johnny and the rest of the FF are dealing with a troubling enemy of their own at the Baxter Building, as the enigmatic woman known as Agatha Harkness introduces her new regime. There are mysteries aplenty to plague our foursome, threatening to tear them apart from without and within! ULTIMATE X-MEN # 95 The Story: HEROES writer Aron Eli Coleite continues his run – and introduces a team of X-Men like you’ve never seen before! Who are Ultimate Alpha Flight? What do they want with Northstar? What is Colossus willing to do to get him back? And just wait until you see that last-page shocker! WORLD OF WARCRAFT #8 "The Return" begins a new story arc set in the WORLD OF WARCRAFT. Upon learning he is in fact the missing king of Stormwind, Lo'Gosh returns to reclaim his throne with his comrades-in-arms Valeera, and Broll. But all is not as it seems in the eastern kingdom, especially if one informed dwarf has anything to say about it. Enter Thargas Anvilmar! Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic #30 When Zayne and his con-artist companion Gryph decided to risk it all in an attempt to prove Zayne's innocence, they never expected a consequence for failure quite like this. Their plans ruined and their future bleak, Zayne and Gryph need to act fast of the history and traditions of an entire world could fall victim to another display of madness by the secret Jedi Covenant. STAR WARS LEGACY #25 There is a place, hidden to all but a select few, where some of the most powerful figures in the galaxy reside. As Cade Skywalker travels there with a mission of the upmost importance, an undetected pursuer may put Cade's clandestine destination at terrible risk! GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY #2 Groot is here! And so is…hey, wasn’t he sunk in Antarctica? One day on the job, and our cosmic protectors have already made themselves a major new enemy! But how does that connect to Adam Warlock’s mystical past? Could it really be the threat he’s spent years trying to deny? And exactly what or who have the Guardians discovered frozen & adrift in space? It can’t be...can it? INCREDIBLE HERCULES #118 The "SACRED INVASION" continues! In order for Hercules and his divine allies to attack the realm of the Skrull gods, they first must pass out of our own Earthly pantheons -- with a fear-fraught voyage through the dimension of NIGHTMARE! What could possibly terrify a god? The Dark Lord of Dreams knows -- and he'll use it to destroy the last, best hope of stopping the Skrull invasion before it even starts! ANGEL: AFTER THE FALL #9 We’ve kept you waiting long enough… now, it’s back to work for Angel. The gang’s all here as the forces of evil attack from all sides. But Angel’s not just fighting for his own life, the fate of someone he never thought he’d see again hangs in the balance. A new chapter of Angel: After the Fall begins, courtesy of Joss Whedon, Brian Lynch, and Nick Runge. KILL ALL PARENTS #1 KILL ALL PARENTS is the story of an authoritarian government's secret program to 'save' mankind by eliminating villains: by insuring that every child born with a super power becomes a super hero. Based on the life's work of a brilliant but demented scientist and futurist, the method is effective but fantastically cruel, unnatural, and ultimately deeply flawed. We follow the last of the strong heroes, the remaining brave, who fight for not only their future and the lives of their families, but that of all mankind. BOMB QUEEN V #2 (of 6) “THE DIVINE COMEDY,” Part Two Bomb Queen's city of crime is set to explode. Overpopulation has exhausted the town's supplies, citizens are on the edge of revolt, and our villainous Queen makes some drastic cuts – literally. With everything at the breaking point, any new problem could set the city ablaze. Enter the supreme superhero, WHITE KNIGHT! |
