Comics Guide for Sept. 3, 2014

THIS WEEK'S COMICS

Titles listed in the Comics Guide come from the weekly list at the Diamond Comic Distributors Inc. website, and are subject to change. The information in the Comics Guide comes not only from Diamond but from solicitations, press releases and previews released by the publishers, except for random comments by Captain Comics (in blue), and occasional comments by The Baron (in this here purplish color). Clicking on most images results in a larger image.

BEST BETS

For more information on Best Bets titles, consult the Guide below. Titles are grouped by publisher: Action Lab, Archie, Dark Horse, DC Comics, Dynamite, IDW, Image, Marvel, Valiant and a catch-all Other Publishers.

ALICE COOPER #1 ($3.99, Dynamite): It turns out that when Alice Cooper says "Welcome to my nightmare," he was being literal! This new ongoing series has Al doing a Sandman turn as the master of dreams, which fits his on-stage persona rather well.

THE DEATH-DEFYING DR. MIRAGE #1 (of 5, $4.99, Valiant): Shan Fong, America's foremost paranormal investigator, can contact any dead person's spirit -- except that of her deceased husband, Hwen. This re-imagining of the 1990s Dr. Mirage title is almost a 180-degree turn -- and promises to be fascinating.

DEATH OF WOLVERINE #1 (of 4, $4.99, Marvel): Marvel Comics has been building up to the "death of Wolverine" for months, and now they're finally pulling the trigger (so to speak) with this four-issue, weekly miniseries. It kicks off with this 48-pager, complete with multiple variant covers, including one with metal foil, and comes out weekly through September. Of course, nobody expects Wolverine to stay dead, but as they say, it's the journey, not the (final) destination.

EX-CON #1 ($2.99, Dynamite): Part of Dynamite's effort at giving fan-favorite writers a forum, Ex-Con is a gritty crime drama by Duane Sweirczynski. It stars a modern-day con man in over his head, ands seems to be shooting for a Parker-like vibe.

FUTURE'S END (DC Comics): This month DC ties all its ongoing "New 52" titles into the 11-month, weekly Future's End series due to run until March 2015, with 43 books set five years into a possible future where a time-traveling Batman Beyond is trying to stop the genocide of mankind at the hands of the artificial intelligence Brother Eye. Each of the "Future's End" books comes with a regular cover at $2.99, and a 3-D lenticular cover at $3.99. Check out the DC section for this week's "Future's End" books, which include Action, Aquaman, Batwing, Detective, Earth 2, Grayson, Green Arrow, Green Lantern, Swamp Thing and Trinity of Sin: Phantom Stranger.

HAWKEYE VS. DEADPOOL #0 (of 4, $4.99): Despite the title, these two characters will compete for the five issues of this miniseries, not necessarily fight each other. And given that both are given to light-hearted stories, there will probably be lots of yuks.

KICK-ASS 3 (premiere HC, $24.99, Marvel): This hardcover collects the third Kick-Ass series (the one not yet made into a movie) that is apparently the grand finale.

MARVEL FAMOUS FIRSTS: 75TH ANNIVERSARY MASTERWORKS SLIPCASE SET ($500, Marvel): Yes, that is a whopper of a price tag. But it's also a whopper of a set: 11 hardback Marvel Masterworks, consisting of the first volumes of Amazing Spider-Man, Avengers, Captain America, Daredevil, Dr. Strange, Fantastic Four, Incredible Hulk, Iron Man, Thor and X-Men, plus a complete collection of the 13-issue humor title Not Brand Echhh. Most comics fans own or have read all these stories, but if you haven't, or simply want all these seminal tales in one place, this is a great starting point. 

THE MERCENARY SEA VOL 1 ($9.99, Image): Old school adventure, as soldier-of-fortune types look for treasure in the many unexplored parts of the world in 1938 in a captured German U-boat.

THE NAMES #1 ($2.99, DC/Vertigo): A new crime noir title from DC's mature-readers line, Names features a rich, beautiful trophy wife immersing herself in the upper-crusty world of the 1% to find her husband's killers and take revenge.

ORIGINAL SIN #8 (of 8, $4.99): The climax of Marvel's big summer crossover, which revealed hidden secrets of many of Marvel's biggest characters. This issue reveals The Watcher's murderer's end game -- what he's been after, and why.

REVENGE: THE SECRET ORIGIN OF EMILY THORNE (premiere HC, $24.99, Marvel): An original graphic novel reveals some of the back story of the main character in ABC's aptly named revenge drama Revenge.

    The legendary Crime Syndicate of Amerika stars in this new edition of this unforgettable tale, with a new cover by artist Frank Quitely! Nothing has ever seriously threatened the global corruption they proudly enforce, but now a twisted mirror image of the CSA has arrived from the flip side of reality. Can anything stop this so-called “Justice League,” or will the perfect evil of the Earth 2 fall victim to the tyranny of law, virtue and freedom.

    This version of the Crime Syndicate is no longer part of continuity, but this is still a very good story. (And some elements of these characters do continue over into the current Syndicate.)

    The shocking conclusion to “THE INJUSTICE LEAGUE” leads to a startling confrontation with the all-new, all-dangerous Doom Patrol! And in the wake of it all, a secret will be revealed that will bond two members forever -- and break two members apart. Plus, Shazam unlocks a new power that will send a shockwave through the League.

    This issue is also offered as a combo pack edition with a redemption code for a digital download of this issue.

    It appears that The Chief will not be bound to a wheelchair in The New 52, so one major parallel with the original X-Men has been removed.

    The classic graphic novel by Neil Gaiman and Dave McKean is back in a new hardcover edition with bonus sketch material! MR. PUNCH tells the tale of a young boy’s loss of innocence due to a horrific confrontation with his past. Spending a summer at his grandfather’s seaside arcade, a troubled adolescent becomes involved with a mysterious Punch and Judy man and a mermaid-portraying woman. But when the violent puppet show triggers buried memories of the boy’s past, the lives of all become feverishly intertwined. With disturbing mysteries and half-truths uncontrollably unraveling, the young boy is forced to deal with his family’s dark secrets of violence, betrayal and guilt.

    Here's another book I don't remember much about, except that I didn't enjoy it when it first came out in 1995. Of course, I didn't know who Neil Gaiman was when I first read it, but now that I do, I'm surprised I didn't like it. Maybe I just didn't understand it. I should probably re-read it.1801290880?profile=RESIZE_180x180THE NAMES #1

    This issue will arrive in stores with two covers.

    New York City. Forty-year-old Kevin Walker is a successful trader. He’s incredibly rich. He has a young, sexy wife and a son he adores. He has everything. Until …

    The mysterious man known as the Surgeon walks into Kevin’s office. He takes a seat and tells Kevin to write a suicide note. Trembling but obedient, Kevin does what the Surgeon says. Then, at a word from this well-dressed figure, Kevin jumps out his window and falls fifty stories to his death.

    Thus begins THE NAMES, an 8-issue miniseries by writer Peter Milligan (HELLBLAZER, SKREEMER) and artist Leandro Fernandez (Wolverine, Punisher: Max). THE NAMES is a dark, contemporary thriller set in the world of Big Money: hedge funds, leveraged buyouts, market raids, flash crashes. High-end finance that can ruin entire economies, run by a cabal of the world’s richest (and sickest) people.

    Now, it’s up to Katya Walker – the beautiful and deadly wife of the late Kevin – to take on this hidden power structure and find out who killed her husband, and why. No matter what it takes. No matter who she has to kill.

    It’s The Wolf of Wall Street meets Kill Bill. And heaven help the 1%.

    Sounds interesting, and very contemporary.

    The X-Files' writer Joe Harris takes on The Prince of Darkness -- Alice Cooper -- in his FIRST ongoing comic series! Alice Cooper #1 features two truly breathtaking covers; a main cover by comic book legend David Mack (Kabuki), as well as an Exclusive Photo incentive featuring Alice Cooper himself! The interior pages of this horrifying series are drawn by Eman Casallos. 

    In Alice Cooper #1, rock n' roll legend Alice Cooper was never a stranger to the mystic and the macabre. His stage shows were the stuff of legend, featuring snakes, pyrotechnics and the invocation of dark themes and darker forces. But while he was a legend in the waking world, few knew his role as "The Lord of Nightmares" beyond it, where he watched over us while we dreamed, and delivered horrors unto the deserving. Only, someone took it all away from him, cast him out of his realm and locked him away ...  until now. And if he's going to reclaim his dark throne, he's going to need all the help he can get!

    "We're doing cool things with Dynamite," Cooper said. "I always say that the best thing about being in a comic book is that they draw you with great abs! Artistically, for me there is hardly a better medium.  There is so much you can do in the form of a comic that we'd never been able to do on stage.  It's just a different way of storytelling, and it really has almost limitless possibilities.  We're looking forward to stretching the existing boundaries of the comic medium again.  We have new stories to tell, but we'll do it with the same theatrical, sinister sensibility that comes with the name ‘Alice Cooper'.  This is just the beginning!  Welcome to my new Nightmares!"

    "Alice Cooper is one of the great, enduring rock personas, first and foremost," says writer Joe Harris. "Alice Cooper has a fantastic visual hook, as he made use of the signature eye black that defines his character. I hope they enjoy what they'll see as a fun take and interpretation on an iconic character."

    "Alice Cooper's on-stage persona, the ultimate shock rocker, is perfect for comic books," Nick Barrucci, CEO and Publisher of Dynamite, said.  "From his comic book debut in Marvel Premiere to The Last Temptation by Neil Gaiman, I've enjoyed the appearances Alice has made in comics.  We are excited to develop captivating and hypnotic comic storylines that incorporate the Sinister Showman's gothic flair and grandiose vision. This is going to be one hell of a ride!"

    Dynamite is proud to present the next book in a series of creator driven comics, featuring all new characters from the industry's best and brightest! Ex-Con is written by the acclaimed author Duane Swierczynski (Cable, Deadpool, Judge Dredd) -- accompanied by the incredible art of Keith Burns! Single issues in this line will be priced at $2.99 MSRP, allowing fans the opportunity to affordably try all of the new series! And to help retailers stock up with confidence, each launch issue will be completely returnable! To sweeten the deal for fans and retailers alike, Ex-Con #1 will feature covers by fan-favorite Tim Bradstreet! Be sure to look for Ex-Con #1!

    Ex-Con #1 begins in 1985 with L.A. con artist Cody Pomeray, who had a gift for looking inside a mark's soul with just a glance. But one fateful night, he targeted the wrong man -- and was sentenced to the most savage prison in California. Pomeray would have been beaten to death on his first day if not for the intervention of Barnaby Creed, the most powerful crime lord in the Southland. Now it is 1989 and Pomeray's out on parole, robbed of his special ability and tasked with doing Creed "a little favor." He has no idea he's just stepped into a long con, and this time, *he's* the mark!

    "Ex-Con is probably my first balls-out crime story for comics, as opposed to other comics that have had a superhero or science-fiction element to them," says writer Duane Swierczynski. "Granted, Cody has an ability that could be considered a superpower, but he's no hero, believe me. Fans who've liked my darker novels -- The Wheelman or The Blonde, for instance -- will feel at home in Cody's twisted little noir world."1801327440?profile=RESIZE_180x1801936416359?profile=RESIZE_180x1801936418734?profile=RESIZE_180x1801936420787?profile=RESIZE_180x1801936420894?profile=RESIZE_180x1801936421080?profile=RESIZE_180x180

    Join fan favorite writer Frank Tieri (SAVAGE WOLVERINE, DEADPOOL), artist extraordinaire Cezar Razek (RED SONJA/ WITCHBLADE), and captivating cover artist Amanda Conner (HARLEY QUINN), as they tell a decades spanning, mind-blowing tale that could spell the end for our favorite She-Devil with a Sword in Red Sonja: The Black Tower #1.

    In Red Sonja: The Black Tower #1, the question is posed; what is the Black Tower? What startling mysteries does it contain within its walls? And most shockingly ... how will its very existence cause the death of Red Sonja?!

    "Simply put, THE BLACK TOWER is an old fashioned mystery -- and as we all know, everybody loves a mystery," says writer Frank Tieri. "In fact, I'd say at times, this story is more in line with a Stephen King story than your typical Sonja tale. The Tower just appears out of nowhere one day -- nobody knows why, nobody knows how. People are scared, they're confused -- and they start turning on each other. That's when Red Sonja enters the picture. And what she finds is mystery that will span decades, which will pit people against each other, that will cost many lives … including her own. Now, I think that's a story fans will want to see how it turns out, don't you? I like that she's this total bad ass -- that she's the WOLVERINE of her world, that she's The Man With No Name -- but she's also a woman. Because you don't often see that. You don't often see it being a woman that walks into a bar and everybody tenses up, everybody pees their pants. And in Sonja's case, if you underestimate her, if you just dismiss her as ‘just a woman' -- she's going to make you pay for it. And then some."

    "Frank brings his rough and tumble writing to Red Sonja, to create a no-holds-barred adventures of thrills, twists and grit." -- Joseph Rybandt, Dynamite Senior Editor

    "Gail Simone's Red Sonja series has received so many accolades, we have been very selective about our Red Sonja series or specials," adds Dynamite CEO / Publisher Nick Barrucci. "But when Frank pitched this mini-series to me, I knew that this would be a perfect stand-alone mini-series. And having Amanda on covers is icing on the cake!"

    Frank Tieri has written New Excalibur, Wolverine (and its spin-off, a short-lived Weapon X ongoing series), Underworld, a post Avengers Disassembled Hercules miniseries, Wolverine/Darkness, Dracula Versus Apocalypse, Civil War: War Crimes, as well as World War Hulk: Gamma Corps for Marvel Comics. For DC, he has written a JSA Classified story, as well as Countdown tie-ins Lord Havok and the Extremists and Gotham Underground. His style is gritty, yet usually laden with pop-culture references and black humor.

    In a desperate attempt to fight Lady Umbra’s growing control over her mind and body, Vampirella and her unlikely new ally, Lord Drago, take a jaunt to the Mediterranean. There, on the Greek island of Lamos, famous for its unspoiled beaches and friendly natives, they search for the most ancient species of vampire in the world: the dreaded lamia of legend. But can Vampirella locate and slay the seductive half-serpent before her heart falls into shadow?

    Oh, it's snakes? What a relief! I was afraid it was tentacles!

    Deuce was once the toast of the galaxy, the teenage leader of E.G.O.s (Earth/Galactic Operatives), a team that defended humanity from evil forces. Now, in the September graphic novel from Image Comics, E.G.O.s VOLUME 1: QUINTESSENCE by Stuart Moore (Civil War, Web of Spider-Man) and Gus Storms (Twelve Reasons to Die), he’s an aging egomaniac trying desperately to hold on to his former glory, while his wife Pixel, the image-obsessed daughter of a supervillainess, barely tolerates him.

    When the E.G.O.s’ deadliest villain, the world-absorbing entity known as Masse, returns, Deuce’s goal of relaunching the E.G.O.s is no longer just a matter of pride: The future of the galaxy depends on it.

    “Deuce is under enormous pressure to assemble this team fast, in order to take down Masse,” Moore explained in an interview with Comic Book Resources. “There's a crucial line where Pixel asks him, ‘How do you plan to staff, train and launch an entire superhero team in one week?’ The answer: He'll do anything he has to. But yes, he likes the attention as well.”

    Moore teamed up with artist Gus Storms when Storms’ art caught the eye of comics editor and colorist Marie Javins, who is also an instructor at the School of Visual Arts.

    “Stuart wanted something lively, vital; space with a little bombast,” said Storms. “He mentioned liking the visual irreverence of the Legion of Super-Heroes, where everyone’s power is neon and just a little bit silly. It seemed like a good fit here, the comic has a pretty black core so I thought a candy-colored shell would fit nicely.”

    A space opera for all lovers of sci-fi and superheroes, E.G.O.s will be in comic book stores on September 3 and in bookstores on September 16.

    GIANT-SIZE KUNG FU BIBLE STORIES #1

    292b5b4b-058a-4124-b231-ba0f952c9eb0.jpg?width=250After a wildly successful debut at SDCC, GIANT-SIZE KUNG FU BIBLE STORIES, edited by Erik Larsen (SAVAGE DRAGON) and Bruce Timm (Batman Adventures: Mad Love), will be made available at comic book stores nationwide on September 3. A deluxe limited edition collection featuring the original stories of the world’s greatest cartoonists, this treasury edition comic is a must-have.

    GIANT-SIZE KUNG FU BIBLE STORIES has been years in the making and Larsen explained the origins of the project: “I'm not 100% when and where the idea went from ‘wouldn't this be fun’ to ‘let's do this’ but San Diego Comic Con is a likely guess. The title itself was coined by Bruce and it was a working title cobbled together from some of our favorite Treasuries of old.”

    Citing the the classic comics of the ‘70s as part of the inspiration behind the book, Larsen went on to add, “DC had done this great Bible adaptation and Marvel had done this Kung Fu collection with new pages added and it just became its own thing. I'm pretty pleased with how it all came together. And it's gigantic so it looks just great. Everybody who's seen the physical book is just floored by it.”

    GIANT-SIZE KUNG FU BIBLE STORIES includes seven awe-inspiring, pulse-pounding stories from Erik Larsen, Bruce Timm, Adam Warren (Empowered), Tom Scioli (GØDLAND), Ryan Ottley (INVINCIBLE), and Andy Kuhn (FIREBREATHER), and four breathtaking pinups by Arthur Adams (Uncanny X-Men).

    "The old reprint collection Treasuries were great, but the books that really inspired Erik and me were the ones that were specifically created with the over-size format in mind, things like the Kubert / Redondo BIBLE STORIES, the various Marvel / DC crossover epics and Kirby's amazing 2001 adaptation,” added Timm. “The artists realised these aren't just regular old comics blown up, but instead really took advantage of the massive scale. SUPERMAN VS. MUHAMMAD ALI is ‘merely’ a typically great Neal Adams comic when printed in the standard-sized comics format, but at ‘Treasury Size’ it's a thing of pure gob-smacking awe. So that was what we were trying to do—a collection of stories that NEED to be seen in the Treasury format. It's just a really fun sandbox to horse around in.”

    First announced at the C2E2 conference, Ryan Browne’s (THE MANHATTAN PROJECTS, BEDLAM) farcical cult-sensation GOD HATES ASTRONAUTS returns with a new story this September from Image Comics.

    In GOD HATES ASTRONAUTS, a NASA-funded group of arrogant "super people" must stop a rash of farmers that have been using rocket-powered silos to launch themselves into outer space. As these Astro-Farmers fire themselves all over the galaxy, NASA must utilize their every resource (a guy with a ghost-cow head, a bunch of magic bears and a Chicago cop with robot arms) to avoid an intergalactic incident.

    "Jumping from weekly web-comic to large scale epic adventure has been extremely challenging and rewarding,” said Browne of his transition from webcomic to Kickstarter project to an ongoing print series with Image Comics. “It was very important to make God Hates Astronauts #1 a perfect jumping-on point for new readers, while having enough allusions and references to the old material for the series' die-hard fans. I hope you guys like astronaut farmers with laser pitchforks, space crab armadas and three-dimensional cowboy narrators! Rest assured, it will all make sense yet be as stupidly ridiculous as the law will allow!"

    1938, the South Seas: Japan has invaded China. War in Europe is imminent. And, in THE MERCENARY SEA, a new Image Comics graphic novel by Kel Symons and Mathew Reynolds, ex-bootlegger Jack Harper captains the Venture, a refitted German U-Boat, with a crew of expats, mercenaries and treasure hunters. In the September release, this rag-tag group of ruffians and renegades will do whatever it takes to stay afloat, often running up against pirates, headhunters, spies, and soldiers.

    In VOLUME ONE: TOP HAT, WHITE LIES, AND TALES, Jack and his crew take a job offered by a shady operative: rescue a British agent carrying valuable intelligence about the Japanese war effort. Meanwhile, Jack dreams of landing the greatest score ever: the legendary lost island of Koji Ra.

    Inspired by classic adventure films like King Kong and Only Angels Have Wings, THE MERCENARY SEA draws upon the mystique of the era, with artist Reynolds heightening the action with cinematic, stylized art bathed in rich colors.

    “This time, this area -- it’s romantic in this spirit of adventure we’re going for,” said writer Symons in an interview at Graphic Policy. “There isn’t any GPS, no satellites. Radio’s still in its infancy and technology is still largely a wonder. At least compared to today. So there’s still mystery in the world. The globe hasn’t been mapped. There are places unseen by man. And you never know what’s just over the horizon until you go there. That to me is adventure.”

    A graphic novel for history, cinema and adventure buffs, THE MERCENARY SEA delivers fascinating characters, exotic locales, and rollicking adventure. It will be in comic book stores on September 3 and in bookstores on September 16.

    "An amazing new high adventure book. I can't wait to read more of The Mercenary Sea." -- Ed Brubaker (FATALE, THE FADE OUT)

    “This book has all the fun of Captain Blood mixed with Indiana Jones, and the artwork makes every panel a joy to view.” -- Peter Schmeiser, Florida Geek Scene

    “And so the first arc of this absolutely cracking old-school adventure draws to a close, and what a ride it’s been. Gunfights, secret agents, ill-begotten gains, daring heroics, all told through gorgeous art that’s absolutely pitch-perfect for the subject matter.” -- Ross Sweeney, Big Comic Page

    ONE OF THE HORRIBLE SECRETS OF BUCKAROO HAS BEEN REVEALED!

    Finch and Crane are hot on the heels of a serial killer loose in Buckaroo, but Finch has finally found what he was looking for and it’s worse than he feared.

    I'm trade-waiting this, but you have to figure the heroes are going to take a wrong turn at some point and find themselves in a room full of serial killers.

    Which would not go well for them.1801275644?profile=RESIZE_180x1801936455187?profile=RESIZE_180x1801936457659?profile=RESIZE_180x1801936459778?profile=RESIZE_180x1801936461978?profile=RESIZE_180x1801936462092?profile=RESIZE_180x180

    THE DARK TOWER SAGA BEGINS AGAIN ... ON EARTH!

    • Meet Eddie Dean, a troubled young man gifted with the ability to open doors to other worlds. Can he survive family tragedy, haunting addiction, and the deadly forces that conspire to stop him from growing up to challenge the Man in Black?

    • If you thought the badlands of Mid-World were dangerous, just wait until you experience Brooklyn in the 1960s!

    Marvel, in collaboration with Stephen King, is proud to announce the new chapter in the Dark Tower series – DARK TOWER: THE DRAWING OF THE THREE – THE PRISONER. Beginning in September 2014, New York Times Best-Selling writers Peter David & Robin Furth along with critically acclaimed artist Piotr Kowalski bring the action from Mid-World to our world as the epic series returns!

    THE DARK TOWER: DRAWING OF THE THREE – THE PRISONER marks another milestone for the graphic fiction sensation that’s captivated fans worldwide as the saga moves to the second volume of King’s magnum opus. And as the action shifts from the dusty plains of Mid-World to the mean streets of New York City -- old and new fans alike will experience the rich and vibrant world of The Dark Tower in new and interesting ways.

    As this tale of urban crime opens, you’ll meet Eddie Dean as an innocent child who grows into a troubled young man gifted with the ability to open doors to other worlds. Can he survive family tragedy, a haunting addiction, and the deadly forces that conspire to stop him from challenging the Man in Black? Eddie faces trials and tribulations at every turn -- and the badlands of Mid-World can’t hold a candle to the dangers of Brooklyn in the 1960s! Witness the story of a young man on the path to an unlikely destiny and the most important journey of his life.

    “To borrow some successful branding, this is the ‘All-New Marvel NOW’ version of The Dark Tower. As we now travel from The Gunslinger to The Drawing of The Three, we are refocusing our spotlight to explore the histories and events that led to the formation of the Ka-Tet that aided the gunslinger Roland Deschain on his quest to defeat the Man in Black and the Crimson King,” said editor Bill Rosemann. “But instead of encountering Eddie Dean later in his life, as you do in the novel, we zoom back to 1964 and meet him as a toddler, so while we are adapting the second novel, we’re weaving together events in a new way that will hopefully surprise and entertain everyone who has already read the book. We’re ‘assembling the Avengers’ of the Dark Tower universe, but Robin Furth, Peter David and Piotr Kowalski are doing so in a way that you’ve never imagined.

    “The artistic team of Piotr Kowalski and Nick Filardi will take you on a bone-chilling visual journey into the depths of one man’s soul,” Rosemann said. “Crafted to satisfy even the most experienced constant reader, but also created to be completely accessible for new readers, this series delivers all the drama, pathos, humor, and horror you’ve come to expect from master storyteller Stephen King.”

     A bold new chapter begins as the landmark series makes its historic return to comic shops this September in Stephen King’s THE DARK TOWER: THE DRAWING OF THE THREE – THE PRISONER #1

    Marvel is proud to officially unveil a brand new variant cover to the first issue by Eisner-award winning storyteller Skottie Young! Depicting the iconic Gunslinger Roland Deschain rendered in Skottie Young’s inimitable style – no Dark Tower fan should miss out on this hilarious variant cover when it hits comic shops next month!

    IT’S THE BEGINNING OF THE END – 3 MONTHS TO DIE ENDS HERE!

    • The beginning of the end is now here … THE DEATH OF WOLVERINE!

    • THREE MONTHS TO DIE, the loss of Wolverine’s healing factor, all led to this, the single most important X-Men event of the decade.

    He is many things to many people. A hero. A teacher. A friend. But now, the greatest X-Men hero will play a role he’s never played before! Today, Marvel is proud to present a stunning look inside DEATH OF WOLVERINE #1 – the first issue in the blockbuster weekly event running through September! Comic superstars Charles Soule and Steve McNiven explore the man known as the Wolverine as he makes his final stand, and meets his untimely end.

    Left without his mutant healing factor, his enemies now close in for the kill – and the Wolverine faces his greatest battle alone. A battle he will not return from. After a century of being the best there is at what he does, the day has arrived where his best will not be good enough.

    With no X-Men or Avengers to help him, he’ll square off against Lady Deathstrike, Sabretooth and more of his deadliest enemies! Each one inching him one step closer to death than the last. But one foe in particular is prepared to strike the final blow. An old enemy with the deepest of ties to Wolverine’s past has returned. Lurking in the shadows, their master plan to end the Wolverine has been set in motion – and there’s no stopping it!

    “The basic idea [of Death of Wolverine], is that both Wolverine and the reader will be reflecting on Logan’s life as the story builds to the ending,” says series writer Charles Soule in an interview with Marvel.com. “We’ll get a better understanding of why this guy makes the choices he makes, and the path that led him to where we end up. Each issue is built around a different part of Wolverine’s history, in a loose way, and each has a slightly different feel; we’ve seen a lot of different versions of James Howlett over the years, everything from Patch to Weapon X, and versions of many of them will appear here.”

    EXTRA PAGES

    DEATH OF WOLVERINE #1, the first issue in the blockbuster 4-issue weekly event, is about to get even bigger! Now weighing in at a whopping 56 pages, DEATH OF WOLVERINE #1 now comes packed to the gills with bonus content for the same price!

    DEATH OF WOLVERINE #1 also features new interviews from X-Men and Wolverine’s creators past and present including Wolverine co-creator Len Wein as they all reflect on 40 years of being the best there is at what he does – and the legacy he leaves behind.

    “With a huge event like DEATH OF WOLVERINE, we wanted to give retailers and fans a cover that stands out on shelves and really helps to grab your attention,” says Marvel’s SVP of Sales & Marketing David Gabriel. “Something that says this is an event to behold. Whenever you do any kind of special cover treatment, you want to make sure the story can back it up. Charles & Steve have an epic story planned, and we’re confident that when you crack open DEATH OF WOLVERINE #1, you’ll agree!”

    “When Steve McNiven first turned in his cover to DEATH OF WOLVERINE #1, we knew we had something special in our hands,” says Executive Editor Mike Marts. “A cover for the ages. What better way to celebrate this special cover than by giving it the special treatment. Just the other day I saw the process involved in creating this amazing cover—it’s really beautiful.

  • This version of J'onn J'onzz is also no longer part of continuity, either, but I can't remember if these are good stories or not. Since I can't remember, probably not.

    I'm going to disagree with you here, Cap.  I loved the Ostrander/Mandrake Martian Manhunter series.  It's one of the few (only?) times he's worked as a solo star.  They have fun playing with his multiple secret identities and in this volume, they bring back J'emm, Son of Saturn.  It's good, clean superhero fun!

    HAWKEYE VS DEADPOOL VS. CRIME

    Meet Hawkeye: Ladies man (“ladies man” because the ladies love to hate this man), crossbow crusader and, most importantly, Avenger. He’s the only guy on the team without any powers, though, so cut him a little slack.

    Then there’s Deadpool (MR. Deadpool to you, skippy) -- the regeneratin’ degenerate. You can shoot him, stab him, and make with the punchy-punchy right in his face, but nothing can keep the Merc with a Mouth down.

    This September, the Avenging Archer takes on the Merc With a Mouth in a confrontation for the history books in HAWKEYE VS. DEADPOOL #0 – the first issue in a new limited series from critically-acclaimed Deadpool scribe Gerry Duggan and artist Matteo Lolli! This is the Hawkeye & Deadpool comic 75 years in the making! Give or take 75 years! A Halloween murder mystery and a S.H.I.E.L.D. espionage mission is about to send these two on a collision course with destiny – and each other! Not to mention the desire to one-up the other!

    “There is a real threat,” says series writer Gerry Duggan, in an interview with Marvel.com. “There’s a very important thumb drive that’s missing, containing details on the personal and family lives of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents. When different organizations hear about this, it becomes a bit of a dog pile.”

    “There’s an expectation, too, with a title like HAWKEYE VS. DEADPOOL, that there will be a confrontation between these two,” continues Duggan. “I think we make that happen in a smart way. It’s not the same old take on the misunderstanding that often sends two heroes into conflict. We have a twist on that.”

    Long ago, champions emerged to fight the evil that plagued humanity. Champions that fought for salvation, for all that was good and just in the world. Kind, generous and self-sacrificing – they were heroes. These are not those heroes. … Who will win in this titanic clash of Avenger & X-Man? Two men enter. One man leaves.

    To save the world from ever-greater dangers, the Avengers got bigger. Yet when the oldest race in the universe marks Earth for destruction, it’s time for Captain America to think grander still. As the most powerful Avengers team ever assembled heads into space to join an intergalactic alliance against the ancient Builders, an old enemy deems their home unprotected. Thanos, the Mad Titan, unleashes his forces on Earth in the latest chapter of his endless quest for death. But even a world without Avengers has its defenders. Among them, the secret cabal of history-shapers known as the Illuminati — a group riven with internal conflict already confronting another planet-ending crisis. As Earth’s Mightiest Heroes wage war on multiple fronts, their battle for Infinity threatens to descend into Inhumanity. Collecting INFINITY #1-6, NEW AVENGERS (2013) #7-12 and AVENGERS (2012) #14-23.
