MARVEL COMICS
Spider-Man/Red Sonja (5 issues)
Writer Michael Avon Oeming (OMEGA
FLIGHT, Red Sonja) and Mel Rubi (Red Sonja) – plus series cover artist Michael
Turner (CIVIL WAR) – answer the eternal question: What's better in a fight, the
proportional strength and speed of a spider, or cold, hard steel and a
chain–mail bikini?
Spider-Man: One More Day Sketchbook (one-shot)
The hottest, most controversial
storyline to hit Spider-Man is coming next month. Are you ready? Get into the
mind of Marvel EiC, and One More Day artist, Joe Quesada for hints as to what
lies in store for Peter. Also, as an added treat, Joe takes you through his
personal sketchbook to see how he reinvented his style and gives a master class
on penciling for comics today. This is a book no Spider-Man fan, aspiring
artist, or anyone with a pulse can afford to miss! BONUS — Doesn’t look like
Daredevil: Father! Yay!
The Last Fantastic Four Story (one-shot)
Legendary writer and Fantastic Four
co-creator Stan Lee unites with artist John Romita Jr. to tell his final story
of the team that started the Marvel age! ...that’s all? Stan “the Man” Lee is
doing a 64 page FF story and the only push they give it is ONE SENTENCE? Jeez.
Is he suing them again or something? Marvel treated that goofy Kirby “Galactic
Bounty Hunters” like Watchmen 2 compared to this. Weird.
World War Hulk: Gamma Files (one-shot)
Who are the rebellious Renegades? Why
did the young upstart Mastermind Excello search for the Hulk? How many
identities and powers has Rick Jones had? What were the ramifications for the
Illuminati for sending Hulk into space? Is Alec Baldwin coming back for another
season of 30 Rock? How much destruction did the Hulk cause during his rampage
towards vengeance? Find out in the WORLD WAR HULK GAMMA FILES!
Shanna: Survival of the Fittest (4 issues)
Shanna the She-Devil returns in an
all-new series jam-packed with jungle action, Hong Kong gangsters, dinosaurs,
diamonds and cavemen! Justin Gray and Jimmy Palmiotti reunite with super-hot
artist Khari Evans (DAUGHTERS OF THE DRAGON) to bring you the story of
modern-day pirates shipwrecked on the Marvel Universe's deadliest island, where
only Shanna can protect them from hordes of man-eating monsters!
Terror, Inc. (5 issues, MATURE READERS)
Meet Mr. Terror -- he’s dapper, he’s
charming, he owns and operates his own VERY successful business…and, oh yeah,
he’s fifteen centuries old and rotting fast. Doomed to decompose for all
eternity, Terror forever replaces his festering limbs with fresh parts. The
curse keeps him alive, but it’s what’s left of his twelfth-century sweetheart --
encased in enchanted metal and serving as his right arm -- that keeps him
honest.
Marvel Spotlight: Halo (one-shot)
This special issue of Marvel Spotlight
will be bringing comic readers unfamiliar with the world of Halo (both of you)
up close to the mythos that is providing fertile ground for so many great
stories! We'll also be chatting with Bendis and Maleev as well as some of the
folks over at Bungie who are working on Halo 3, the hotly anticipated
blockbuster video game, about their collective plans for the Halo miniseries and
more!

and as quietly as possible.

to remake the Earth in their image — and only the combined might of Superman,
Batman, and Wonder Woman can stop them!

incredibly unlikely companions, must somehow find a way to work together — and
find out the real reason for their abductions — before they kill each other!
Justice League/America
#12 (two covers)
Two covers from Alex Ross (TERMINATOR,
BATTLE OF THE PLANETS) form one Justice-tacular image! Yes, it’s a word. Yes,
seriously. Look, I don’t care what Wikipedia says. Just ‘cause it isn’t on the
Internet doesn’t mean it isn’t true. I’m not having this discussion again.

the Phantom Stranger, the Demon and a host of other DC superstars from Wonder
Woman to Animal Man — is guaranteed to send chills down your spine!

Eisner-nominated artist Mike Hawthorne (THE EXTERMINATORS, Queen and Country)

with a series that explores what it means to be a freak in a society filled with
gawkers. They say the freaks come out at night. But in Aberrance, U.S.A., freaks
are big business. On the board of directors sit the freakiest freaks of all —
birthed in the profane laboratories of Anton Arcane — THE UN-MEN.

($10 graphic novel)
When Tasha’s mom brings home an annoying hack novelist boyfriend, Jed, and his
deadpan daughter, her dysfunctional family is headed for a complete mental
meltdown. But Tasha has her blog, BLABBERMOUTH, as the ultimate weapon — and
she's not afraid to use it. Especially when she starts to suspect that the
obnoxious Jed has a guilty secret that goes far beyond his bad prose.
