NEW BOOKS OF NOTE

ASSORTED CRISIS EVENTS #1
Time is having a crisis. Mingling in the red-light district, you can find actual cavemen, medieval knights, and cyborg soldiers on leave from World War IV. Victorian debutantes amble their way into cell phone stores, confused and bewildered (what is a data plan?). On their way to work, bleary-eyed commuters get trapped in time-loops, assaulted by alternate-reality versions of themselves, and try to avoid post-apocalyptic wastelands. 
MINOR THREATS WELCOME TO TWILIGHT #1
Matt Fraction and Mike Allred reunite to tell a twisted noir tale about fame, dames and homunculus-faced mobsters in Minor Threats: Welcome to Twilight. Benjamin "Brock" Bronkowicz is a washed up, bird-winged actor who is not a superhero, but he once played one on TV. But a chance encounter with a mysterious woman empowers Brock to fight for a life he once thought was over. 
NICK FURY VS. FIN FANG FOOM #1
NICK FURY knows how to handle problems, no matter the size - but he's never faced a foe THIS big before! J. MICHAEL STRACZYNSKI is joined by ELENA CASAGRANDE to bring you one of the most wild pairings in Marvel History!
ABSOLUTE SUPERMAN #5
BRACE YOURSELF FOR A HEARTBREAKING TALE OF THE FINAL FATE OF KRYPTON! Kal-El's life with his parents in the rural Redlands of Krypton is a happy one. But when that entire existence is suddenly threatened, the Els have no choice but to make a stand...and fight for the truth!
