These are the real secrets, the double super-secret secrets! You ain't never heard secrets like these, pal, believe you me! This is actually a very fun comic which you should read. Honest.

JOE THE BARBARIAN #1 of 8 by Grant Morrison and Sean Murphy. A mature readers series about a young Type-1 diabetic who may or may not be a fantasy adventure hero in a land full of toys. It's Morrison so a look is required.

WOLVERINE: WEAPON X #9 by Jason Aaron and Yanick Paquette. Wolvie's pals show up to bust him out of the nuthouse! Let's hope they brought a lot of Bactine! Recommended.
