Wilson Fisk has reason to believe that one of his own men is staging a coup—and killing those who won’t surrender their loyalty.
But mutiny becomes the least of Fisk’s worries when the Punisher launches an attack on the Kingpin’s safe house.

Did we ever find out who the baby daddy is? Or did she spontaneously generate spawn, like an amoeba or something?
THUNDERBOLTS #5
Publisher: MARVEL COMICS
Writer: JIM ZUB
Art/Cover: JON MALIN
Cosplay Variant: WESLEY JOHNSON
32 PGS. • Rated T+ • $3.99
It’s the Winter Soldier versus Spider-Man and only one of them is going to walk away.
That Wesley Johnson cosplayer guy has a mid-'90s Brad Pitt look going, doesn't he? But that's a pretty impressive metal arm -- don't know how he did it. I should also mention that the main cover is similar to the cover of Amazing Spider-Man #129 (first appearance of The Punisher), but not enough that I'd call it an homage.
THE TOTALLY AWESOME HULK #10
Publisher: MARVEL COMICS
Writer: GREG PAK
Art: MIKE DEL MUNDO
Cover by TERRY DODSON
BLACK PANTHER 50th ANNIVERSARY VARIANT COVER BY PHIL JIMENEZ
32 PGS. • Rated T • $3.99
TOTALLY AWESOME T’CHALLA!
Still reeling from a blindsiding loss, Amadeus Cho might be in over his head when the one and only Black Panther comes calling.
This cover is definitely an homage, but I can't remember where I've seen the image before. I wanted to say it was a Zeck or Byrne Captain America cover, but I skimmed through his Silver/Bronze age title with no success. I remembered similar worm's-eye-view constructions in Sgt. Fury and Master of Kung Fu, but they aren't solid matches. Anyone else have an idea?
ULTIMATES #11
Publisher: MARVEL COMICS
Writer: AL EWING
Art/Cover: KENNETH ROCAFORT
Cosplay Variant: KNOBEL CREATIONS
32 PGS. • Rated T+ • $3.99
The Ultimates are at war – with each other!
Can they solve their problems and come together in time to face the real threat ...
... or will Thanos and his new acolyte destroy them all?
That is the skinniest Galactus I've ever seen. He needs to eat a Sandwich (Islands). Or maybe Turkey (with Greece).

I thought I knew this one and went straight to the below issue -- but it's not as I remember it and not quite right....
Heh! Brain Storm! The Man Who Can't Go Through Doors!
