Avengers: The Initiative #1; written by Dan Slott, pencils by Stefano Caselli
Also, it appears, that standing the ground longer than the otherside makes for the argument to eventually sway the other way. Or to hold on strong. Perspectives, all about it really.
The Civil War is over, and from now on, this is the new face of the Marvel Universe -- The Initative!
Whose side were you on? Well, if you were pro-registration, then there's one hell of a price to pay. You're in the army now. Every last one of you.
Fall in with Yellowjacket, War Machine, She-Hulk, Justice and the Gauntlet as they train the heroes of tomorrow for the super-powered conflicts of today! Marvel's army of super heroes has just become a super hero army!
Also featuring The Mighty Avengers and a new generation of Marvels.

Andy Hartnell and Nick Bradshaw shot for four in
Danger Girl: Body Shots. High stakes of oily treasure hunting and the Danger Girls are in the cross hairs of some bloke with an agenda.
Anthology at its pulpiest and no mango juice to spare.
Savage Tales on the start of a bimonthly appearance with the likes of Leah Moore, John Reppion, Pablo Marcos, Stjepan Sejic, Luke Lieberman, Mike Avon Oeming, Kevin Sharpe, Mike Raicht and Pere Perez finding their way through the jungle. Lots of names? That's an anthology for sure.
Got brain?
Raise the Dead raises the dead with Leah Moore, John Reppion and Hugo Petrus kicking and splatting with another in the genre of dead bodies what walk about with the fitness in them.
Pastafarians get a bad deal if a school won't let kids walk about dressed as pirates. Whatever. Any how,
Fall of Cthulhu with Michael Alan Nelson and Jean-Jacques Diazlowski keeping the spook without the gore.
Mike Allred moves in again with Frank Einstein with the launch of
Madman Atomic Comics. Who knows what's going on jumping silent cars that sleep at traffic lights.
From the loins of the Initiative,
Omega Flight heads up past the US border to ride the skies in Canada. Michael Avon Oeming and Scott Kolins crunch the punches in five.
Poke it with a stick, it's not really twitching any more, a certain sign of death. Captain America, Steve Rogers, is dead. One of the five stages of grief is denial, and in
Fallen Son: The Death of Captain America: Wolverine, the Canuck goes through the motion with Leinel Yu and Jeph Loeb.

Ghost Rider: Trail Of Tears #1 (of 6); written by Garth Ennis, art and cover by Clayton Crain
Sweat, if left to dry off of the face, will crystallise into fine grains. Crying and breaking out the tears, no matter how long and heavy the session, starts to, but never quite matches the scratchy feeling outside the pain.
You'd think there was a
Ghost Rider hair salon on the horizon with all the material bearing his name out on the shelves.
Here it is -- the prequel to Garth Ennis and Clayton Crain's smash hit GHOST RIDER: ROAD TO DAMNATION!
Travis Parham thought he'd seen hell. As a lieutenant in the Confederate Army, he stood neck-deep in muck and blood, surrounded by the whistle of hot shrapnel and men's screams. Two years later, Parham has carved a new life for himself, doing his best to forget the depravity that lurks in the pits of men's souls.
Now, Parham's tranquil world is about to be rudely interrupted. Up from the depths comes a force of nature that transcends his wildest dreams -- a fiery wraith that knows a thing or two about evil, and even more about vengeance.

Between the volumes and out swims
Fathom: Kiani #0 from Aspen Comics, Vince Hernandez, Marcus To and Peter Steigerwald. Teaser for the mini series to later shore up the shelves in the year.
Every year is another year and this year, Mike Carey and Mark Brooks serve up the
X-Men Annual. Same numbering as the first, it's like they have short term memory. Who figured that fish had about 5 seconds or so?
Missed it the first time round? Back again, no shot in the dark like
Cthulhu Tales from Boom! Studios and don't go chewing strange things picked up from the back of cleaning out the fridge.
Jeff Smith breaks it all down like James Brown in this prestige fitting of Billy Batson in
Shazam: The Monster Society of Evil. DC makes it in four and is no quick source for asking if you think Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C., was a fan of the old
Captain Marvel comics?
Stephen King walks the prequel line as Peter David, Robin Furth, Jae Lee and Richard Isanove
handle conversion for
Dark Tower: The Gunslinger Born. Seven steps to the end and the beginning, it's so big it's
a Marvel whisper.
Mike Richardson and Jason Alexander work a prank call that goes awry in
Secret. From Dark Horse, this ring ding-a-lings four times before the phone is hung up. Waiting for your call.
