Tony Stark is Iron Man — technological visionary, wealthy playboy, unparalleled engineer and armored Avenger. But NOW!, his greatest invention has just become his greatest mistake: The lethal techno-virus Extremis is out in the wild! Tony’s hunt for the rogue Extremis Units takes him to New Camelot, where he clashes with the mech-knights called the Circle and dogfights the Russian Black Exoskeleton Academy; to Colombia, where he battles old foes Vibro, Firebrand and the Living Laser; and to the ancient catacombs of Paris, where absolute horror awaits — and Tony may have to betray an old friend! Introducing Iron Man’s stealth armor, heavy-duty battle-suit and space armor as Tony creates new suits to tackle new challenges! If he wants to save the world from his own deadly nano-virus, Iron Man must act fast — and Tony Stark must build faster!

Pendleton Ward‘s loopily brilliant animated series Adventure Time has been a massive hit on TV screens around the world.
The show tells of Finn, a 14 year-old human boy, and his best friend Jake, the magical shape-shifting bulldog, as they travel the land of Ooo in search of adventure, frequently coming into contact with friends (Princess Bubblegum, Marceline the Vampire Queen, Lumpy Space Princess (!)) and enemies (The Ice King, The Lich). With cross-generational appeal, the genuinely funny Adventure Time was picked up for publication by Boom! Studios and, like the TV show, the comic series is going from strength to strength, garnering rave reviews along the way.
If you’re keen to see why it’s so good, we’ve got a great selection of Adventure Time issues and the (many) variant covers available in our eBay store. Check out the current crop below:
