| | | | Ultimate Comics Spider-Man 1 SC
by Brian Michael Bendis and Sara Pichelli The saga of the new Spider-Man is finally here! Young Miles Morales is bitten by another spider from Norman Osborne's labs, developing similiar but different powers. As he slowly figures out what happened to him, we see his first encounter with Peter Parker, his first supervillain fight, and his attempts to get into a good school and figure out why his parents want him to stay away from his uncle! Plus, he soon draws the attention of Nick Fury and the Ultimates. A great, emotional story with amazing art by Pichelli! Highest recommendation! | | Red Diary/Re(A)d Diary HCby Steven Seagle and Teddy Kristiansen
The team behind It's a Bird reunite for a challenging new project. Kristiansen first did a story on his own, about World War I and an art forgery mystery. Then Seagle took the art and wrote a new script without knowing the original story, so flip the book over and you get a completely new tale, about a man who escapes World War I by stealing the identity of an artist! | Before Watchmen: Rorschach #1 (of 4) by Brian Azzarello and Lee Bermejo
The Before Watchmen story everyone's been waiting for: the early cases of the psychotic vigilante, Rorschach! On the search for the source of drugs, he heads into the sewers under New York on the trail of supervillain.
| The Art of War SC by Kelly Roman and Michael DeWeese
A scifi thriller of corporate finance merged with military tactics! Kelly Roman was in the Special Forces and is recruited by the megacorporation that his brother worked for before his suicide. There Roman is taken under the wing of its eccentric CEO, Sun Tzu. A mashup of The Art of War with nanotech, spy thriller, and violent action! | | | Fangbone! 3: The Birthday Party of Dread SCby Michael Rex
The newest Fangbone adventure sees him and his best friend Bill going to a 4 year old's birthday party, where a real evil magician attacks with a magic potion that makes anything come to life! Bill gets cursed as the target of a monster attack instead of Fangbone, and Fangbone imparts more wisdom from the land of Skullbania!
all ages! | | Hulk: Season One HCby Fred Van Lente and Tom Fowler
Another look at the early days of Marvel's most popular characters, updated! This is definitely one of the best so far, as Bruce Banner tries to figure out what sort of monster he has turned into, even as it appears that the gamma bomb test has failed and his career is in jeopardy. Add in a flirty officer by the name of Betty Ross, another scientist who is an old flame, and a scientific terrorist organization, and this is a fast-paced drama with some great action! | The Victories #1 (of 5) by Michael Avon Oeming A dark new superhero world, where a mysterious new drug called Float is on the streets, and the superteam of The Victories is trying to stop it. The main character, Faustus, is a hero who is questioning his ability to life up to the Victories' standard when he is too late to stop the murder of a corrupt judge by a supervillain who thinks he can push the hero over the edge. | Classic Popeye #1 by Bud Sagendorf Outside of the famous comic strip by Segar, Sagendorf also did a comic book series that matched Segar for the great cartoony style and hilarious hijinks! This is a reprint of the first issue, with some extra new stories in it! Jump on board now!
