★ PICK OF THE WEEK ★
THANOS RISING #1
JASON AARON | SIMONE BIANCHI
MARVEL COMICS

What comes after “Marvel NOW!”? Whatever it is, it starts here.

The vile face left movie audiences in shock after last summer’s Marvel Studios’ “The Avengers” movie, but who is this eerily disturbing villain? Thanos rises as the unrivaled rogue of wretchedness in this gripping tale of tragedy, deceit and destiny. Where did this demi-god of death and destruction come from and…more importantly what does he want? The answers come from the incredible creative team of Jason Aaron (Wolverine, X-Men Origins) and Simone Bianchi (Wolverine, Astonishing X-Men) as they take you on journey that will not only change the course of one boy’s life…

…but will soon change the very nature of the Marvel Universe.

FAIREST #14
BILL WILLINGHAM | BARRY KITSON
DC VERTIGO

Dating is hard for everyone in this standalone tale—but it’s especially tricky if you’re a gorgeous tree nymph from Fabletown. Princess Alder tells her tales of woe to Reynard the fox in a special issue written by FABLES writer/creator Bill Willingham and featuring the art of superstar Barry Kitson (The Amazing Spider-Man).

MISS FURY #1
ROB WILLIAMS | JACKSON HERBERT
DYNAMITE ENTERTAINMENT

The pulp heroine returns! When Miss Fury foils a wartime plot by Nazi secret agents, she is catapulted through time… or so it seems. Is she really careening from past to future and back, or has she lost her mind? And if her sanity remains intact, can one lone heroine possibly hope to end World War II by herself, a conflict still waged into the year 2013? As witness to generations of bloodshed and violence, Miss Fury has lots of righteous rage… and anger is her fearsome power!

SONIC THE HEDGEHOG #247
IAN FLYNN | TERRY AUSTIN | VARIOUS
ARCHIE COMICS

“At All Costs,” Part 1.

On the eve of the history-making “Worlds Collide” crossover event, Sonic’s Team Fighters have reached the frigid north! The plan: finally rescue Mecha Sally. But will Silver’s arrival help or hinder their efforts? Meanwhile, “Operation: Deadly Cuddles” goes into full effect, menacing Team Freedom! It’s the last stop of the road to the Sonic/Mega Man crossover event – with an explosive ending that will rock Sonic’s world!

MIND THE GAP #9
JIM McCANN | RODIN ESQUEJO | DAN McDAVID
IMAGE COMICS

“Wish You Were Here” Part Four.

A loss of life! A loss of innocence! A terrifying return! Actions are taken and consequences are so far reaching in this SILENT issue that will have you holding your breath and leave you speechless.
