New Series
Deadly Hands Of Kun-Lun #1 – As demonic forces march their conquering army across the SEVEN HEAVENLY CITIES the only one who can stand in their way and restore order is IRON FIST! However, as more cities fall and the demonic forces swell, he’ll need to rely on some unlikely allies to face the incoming onslaught. But will the combined forces of ELEKTRA, WHITE TIGER, WHITE FOX & PEI, be enough to stem the tide…or is LIN LIE destined to watch as the legacy of the Iron Fist goes up in flames?
Death Fight Forever #1 (on eBay) – Sold out at Midtown. New series by fan favorite Andrew Maclean. Super-thief bruiser brothers, Crash and Bash Biggle, jump into action to help Commander Thunderfang fight inter-dimensional crime boss, Lord Slyther. But a run-in with Marla Mendoza, leader of the COPZ gang and Slyther’s most formidable loyalist, changes the course of Bash’s life forever
End Of Life #1 – Professional hitman Eddie Stallion has messed up. He’s accidentally robbed the Raven, a high-ranking boss of the international cabal of assassins the Menagerie, of which Eddie is a member…or he was. Now with a price on his head, Eddie chooses to hide in the one place everyone knows he’d never go…the small midwestern town of Pluto, home of his estranged father and known hard-ass George Stallion. Looking for safe harbor, Eddie instead finds his resentful father dying of cancer, old friends looking to collect that bounty, Menagerie assassins who have wandered into town, a cancelled newspaper comic-strip creator turned local crime lord, and oh yeah, his childhood first love, too.
Generation X-23 #1 – Possible first appearances of other X-team made up of other Weapon X subjects.
Wolverine Weapons Of Armageddon #1 – When an old acquaintance drags Logan into the search for a new abducted mutant subject, the terrifying methods of the defunct Weapon X program are revealed to be alive and well. As Wolverine follows the scent of the feral Tyler — and the scent of his own trauma — he finds himself in a deadly race against a super-soldier-creating corporation called PRIMEWARRIOR…which has just hired a very familiar face: the fully armed and upgraded NUKE! Don’t miss the first chapter of the biggest Wolverine story in years, one that will have a major impact on the future of the Marvel Universe!
