Featured in this week’s comics are the following…

★ PICK OF THE WEEK ★
X-MEN #1
BRIAN WOOD | OLIVIER COIPEL
MARVEL COMICS

Because you demanded it! The X-Women finally get their own book, from critically acclaimed superstars Brian Wood (X-Men, Ultimate X-Men, DMZ, The Massive) and Olivier Coipel (AvX, House Of M, Thor)!

An old enemy shows up at the X-Men’s door, seeking asylum from an ancient evil come back to earth. Meanwhile, Jubilee has come home, and she’s brought with her an orphaned baby who might hold the key to the earth’s survival…or its destruction. Against a backdrop of what seems like an alien invasion and an eons-spanning war between brother and sister, Storm steps up and puts together a team to protect the child and stop a new threat that could destroy all life on earth!

THE WAKE #1
SCOTT SNYDER | SEAN MURPHY
DC VERTIGO

“There’s something down there…”

When Marine Biologist Lee Archer is approached by the Department of Homeland Security for help with a new threat, she declines, but quickly realizes they won’t take no for an answer. Soon she is plunging to the depths of the Arctic Circle to a secret, underwater oilrig where they’ve discovered something miraculous and terrifying…

Writer Scott Snyder (Batman, American Vampire) and artist Sean Murphy (Punk Rock Jesus) bring their acclaimed talents to this sci-fi/horror epic that explores the horrors of the deep, probes the origins of human history, and leaps far beyond to a frightening future.
