NEW BOOKS OF NOTE
----------
SLEEP #1
When Jonathan Reason falls asleep, he becomes... something else. Every night, it stalks his quiet town, killing (seemingly) indiscriminately. When he wakes, covered in blood, our story begins. This new horror mystery from ZANDER CANNON (Heck, Top 10, Kaijumax) shows us the horrifying waking hours of an unwilling part-time killer. RECOMMENDED by CHALLENGERS!!
SUPERMAN UNLIMITED #1
When an asteroid the size of Metropolis hurtles toward collision with planet Earth, the Justice League dispatches Superman to avert the crisis--but a sinister threat lurks within that will change the world like never before, and this danger glows green. The Last Son of Krypton must risk everything to save his adopted home, the very home which now tries to kill him, from complete destruction! This new cornerstone series is brought to life by writer Dan Slott (Amazing Spider-Man) and renowned artist Rafael Albuquerque!
THE THING #1
When an unexpected visitor from his past sends him on a search for a missing child, the Thing must unravel the mystery even if that means becoming a wanted man! Get ready to see the Ever-Lovin' Blue-Eyed Thing versus every super-powered criminal and bounty hunter in New York City! Writer Tony Fleecs (Stray Dogs) and artist Leonard Kirk give a glimpse into the history of the Thing that reminds you why Ben Grimm is the heart of the Marvel Universe...and why you don't want to let him hear you say that!
SPIDER-MAN & WOLVERINE #1
THWIKT! That sound can only mean one thing: two of your favorite Marvel heroes doing what they do best! With great power, there must also come... the best there is! SPIDER-MAN & WOLVERINE team up for the biggest adventure in Marvel comics! Who or what is targeting this unlikely duo, and what can they do to stop it? By Marc Guggenheim and Kaare Andrews!
ROBOWOLF #1
Robo Wolf and his crew of bank robbing criminals are in a race against time to get a fat stack of stolen money to the villainous Colonel Massacre, who has kidnapped Robo Wolf's daughter for ransom! The Colonel's not the only one with an eye on the money, however, and our heroes will have to use their combined skills to tear through an onslaught of bloodthirsty cannibals, ninjas, robots, and more! By Jake Smith!
HULK & DOCTOR STRANGE #1
When BRUCE BANNER needs help, he goes to the only doctor who is willing to see him: DOCTOR STEPHEN STRANGE! Travel back to the origin of THE INCREDIBLE HULK with J. MICHAEL STRACZYNSKI and GERMÁN PERALTA as they answer the question: Can you truly change the past? PLUS: MAY PARKER and AGATHA HARKNESS team-up!
KILLER AFFAIRS OF THE STATE II #1
In a cabin deep in the mountains of the South of France, the Killer has set up a new base of operations. From this remote hideout, he accepts each new mission with a calculated precision, never straying from the assignment and always returning to this safe haven in the immediate aftermath. This practiced routine is suddenly disrupted though when he discovers that he has some... unexpected neighbors...
VISION & SCARLET WITCH #1
Mysterious doors are opening all over the world, drawing people in with promises of miracles and reunions with lost loved ones. When Vision is mortally wounded investigating the deadly truth of the doors, the Scarlet Witch resorts to extreme measures to save his life-and the results are unlike anything either of them expected!
