WELCOME
Hello, comic fans! Well, I had hopes it would have legs, but it seems Marvel Legacy was short-lived, as they are giving several titles a ‘FRESH START’ this month. That means #1 issues from AVENGERS, BLACK PANTHER, and VENOM. Probably not a coicidence that these three have cinematic movies this year. Another exciting development is the Hunt for Wolverine expands into a multiple mini-series event. See our Spotlight Tag for more info on that. Elsewhere, Image had their big Expo meeting, and you can see what cool new series are coming from them, like Remender’s DEATH OR GLORY, Vaughn’s BARRIER, as well as a few other interesting offerings. Finally, there’s no dearth of new series from any publisher with Garth Ennis’ A WALK THROUGH HELL from Aftershock, CODA from Boom! Studios, RED SONJA/TARZAN from Dynamite, DARK SOULS from Titan, HARBINGER WARS 2 from Valiant, and VAGRANT QUEEN from Vault, just to name a few. Check out the whole Previews Catalog here to discover something else I don’t have room to mention in this short message. As always, let us know if there is something we can track down for you…we try to cater to regular, normal newbies…crazy, intense collectors…and everyone in between (except Klaw, he’s a Vibranium thief) — Glenn

“Straight from the frames of the highly-anticipated film SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY swaggers a younger and somehow even cockier Lando Calrissian! Before his days in the Rebellion, before he ran Cloud City, even before he lost the Millenium Falcon, comes this tale of Lando’s adventures and misadventures in search of love and money leading right up to his appearance in SOLO!”
Amazing Spider-Man #800
A monumental issue milestone for an awesome storyline finale!
“Dan Slott and Stuart Immomen are joined by many of the artists who made the last 10 years of Spider-Man so Amazing! The biggest Peter Parker/Norman Osborn story of all time unfolds over one 80-page story, a scope unmatched in comics! Who lives?! Who dies?! And what scars will Spider-Man bear from here on out?!”
X-Men Wedding Special #1
Kitty Pryde and Colossus are tying the knot! Comic book weddings always go smoothly right? Cool cover by J. Scott Campbell.
“One of the biggest milestone events in X-Men history is almost here! Kitty Pryde and Colossus are finally about the tie the knot…but what’s a wedding without the respective bachelor and bachelorette parties? Join Marc Guggenheim and Kelly Thompson for two parties that can only be celebrated Marvel style! All this, plus, a Kitty and Colossus story by legendary X-Men scribe, Chris Claremont!!!”
