Wolverine has been injured before, but never like this.

And that’s when things really get bad.

The men who sent the robot to destroy Wolverine have come to finish the job. The townsfolk who witnessed the crash have gathered up a mob to hunt down and destroy the alien that’s landed. And Wolverine’s fate just might rest in the hands of the strange little girl who first found him in that dark cornfield. A strange little girl with an affinity for taking care of odd creatures, and whose family holds a deep, dark secret hidden from the light of day... House of Blood and Sorrow is an all new 34-page chilling story just in time for Halloween! Written by David Lapham (Stray Bullets) and illustrated by David Aja (Daredevil, X-Men Unlimited)

HELLSTORM: SON OF SATAN #1 (of 5)

Written by ALEXANDER IRVINE

Penciled by RUSSELL BRAUN

Finishes by KLAUS JANSON

Cover by ARTHUR SUYDAN

“Equinox,” Part 1 of 5

When the Son of Satan is your best option, God help you.

New Orleans. The Big Easy. The membrane between our world and the underworld has always been a little thinner here. Now, in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, the outpouring of human misery has drawn demons like sharks to a bloodbath. What better time for Damian Hellstorm --- a.k.a. The Son of Satan -- to pay a visit?

It starts with the doctor who delivers a baby that vanishes into the night. A doctor who is devoured by demons wearing New Orleans PD badges. Demons who work for someone--or something--that’s descended on the Big Easy and doesn’t’ give a damn who Hellstorm or his father is. Something that’s harvesting body parts in a furious race toward unspeakable purposes. This is The Son of Satan as you’ve never seen him before, brought to you by acclaimed novelist Alexander Irvine (The Narrows), with searing art by Russell Braun (Animal Man) and Klaus Janson.

“Man of Stone,” Part 3

The mountains of Afghanistan. It’s here that General Nikolai Alexandrovich Zakharov got his nickname: “Man of Stone.” While bullets bounced off the rocks at his feet and hardened men scrambled for cover, Zakharov stood his ground. And what he did next -- what he did next has haunted the dreams of the mujahideen ever since. What he did next showed them the depths of his resolve. That was years ago. Now, General Zakharov has returned to these scorched plains with one thing in mind: Revenge on the man with whom he played chicken on the grandest scale. That man is Frank Castle -- a.k.a. the Punisher -- and he, too knows a thing about resolve.

CRIMINAL #1

Written by ED BRUBAKER

Art & Wraparound Cover by SEAN PHILLIPS

This fall crime noir smacks you right in the face, as award-winning writer Ed Brubaker, whose recent hits on Daredevil, Captain America and the X-Men have made him one of the top writers in the field, joins best-selling Marvel Zombies artist Sean Phillips for CRIMINAL, a new ongoing series from Icon. Navigating through a world of smoky barrooms and double-crosses to present tales of heists, murders and cons, CRIMINAL is determined to be different than any other book on the shelves today.

In our debut issue, we meet Leo, who can plan the perfect heist... but only if he can be convinced the job is safe enough. See, Leo is not a shoot-first think-later guy; Leo is a professional. But to some criminals, even professionals, the right payout is worth almost any risk. So when an old friend and a crooked cop approach with a plan to seize millions of dollars in contraband from an evidence transport van, Leo must make tough choices, knowing there’s nothing you can trust less in this world than a cop on the take.

And as a bonus, each issue of Criminal will be packed with material, featuring a full length continuing story, as well as back-up stories and articles about the crime genre in all its forms from the pulps to the modern day.

ARES: GOD OF WAR TPB

Written by MICHAEL AVON OEMING

Pencils and Cover by TRAVEL FOREMAN

For thousands of years, Ares, the God of War, has been the most violent and ruthlessly efficient killer in Zeus’s stable. The Nuclear Option to be sent in when you absolutely, positively, need to kill everything in sight. Now, Ares – who has invaded Olympus, attempted to take over Earth, stood at the walls of Troy, and fought toe to toe with and against Earth’s greatest heroes – has turned his back on Olympus and centuries of brutal warfare to begin life anew on Earth with one goal: to raise his child. But what happens when Olympus, under siege and in danger of falling, calls on its most violent son to come to its rescue? And what happens if Ares refuses? Will Zeus destroy his son...and his grandson...to save his city? This story brings together heroes new and old, uniting Hercules and the Greek Pantheon with the Marvel Universe. Ares is the God of War, so we promise this is like no heroic book Marvel has done before. Heads will fly and blood will flow between Ares and anyone who stands in the way of his son. Collects ARES #1-5.

[MutantKeys]

Why cancel Spider-girl and then a couple of months later start a new series..Who reads Spider-girl..I thought the reason they cancelled it was because it does not sell..

[Darrell F]

Yes but people will buy a new #1 issue.

[SignatureSelect]

I want that Max Hellstorm book. I am gonna alot for the shop.

[BradleyX2]

Why cancel Spider-girl and then a couple of months later start a new series..Who reads Spider-girl..I thought the reason they cancelled it was because it does not sell..

 

 

Well, one reason why it didn't sell well was because it was the ONE Marvel book not available on newsstands. SPIDER-GIRL appeals very well to the mass-market as evidenced by the great digest sales. With the new #1, it *will* be available on newsstands.

How does Spider-Girl fit into the so-called "continuity" of the Marvel Universe? Does she exist in the same realm as Spider-Man? Or is she from another Marvel-verse?

 

Possible future... at least that was how it kind of was early on. Then they seemed to settle on it being a possible present wherein all of the heroes aged and time passed at the same rate as in our reality.

Marvel Team-up seems the only cancellation for the month. You had to figure that was coming eventually.

GIANT-SIZE WOLVERINE #1

Written by DAVID LAPHAM

Art and cover by DAVID AJA

Wolverine has been injured before, but never like this. Blasted with 5,000 rounds of machine gun shells and lifted to the edge of earth’s atmosphere by a giant robot, Wolverine was 85,000 feet in the air when he finally disabled the killing machine. Now, after a horrendous descent and fiery crash into a rural Nebraska cornfield, he lies at the edge of death, lapsing in and out of a coma as his body desperately tries to heal. And that’s when things really get bad.

The men who sent the robot to destroy Wolverine have come to finish the job. The townsfolk who witnessed the crash have gathered up a mob to hunt down and destroy the alien that’s landed. And Wolverine’s fate just might rest in the hands of the strange little girl who first found him in that dark cornfield. A strange little girl with an affinity for taking care of odd creatures, and whose family holds a deep, dark secret hidden from the light of day... House of Blood and Sorrow is an all new 34-page chilling story just in time for Halloween! Written by David Lapham (Stray Bullets) and illustrated by David Aja (Daredevil, X-Men Unlimited)
