Winter and the loss of a yellow sun makes for freezing hours. Cold and shivering, makes for stretching out all across the day a more important task lest the muscles curl up a ball. Now, put those arms outside and reach for the wide.

The stellar creative team of the sell-out GREEN LANTERN: REBIRTH miniseries — Geoff Johns and Ethan Van Sciver — reunites for an extra-sized Special, igniting an intergalactic war that will explode in the pages of GREEN LANTERN and GREEN LANTERN CORPS!

Hal Jordan has struggled to regain his reputation. Kyle Rayner has suffered great personal loss and reluctantly gained great power. Guy Gardner's trust in the Guardians is wavering. John Stewart's unbreakable loyalty soon will be tested. Together, these four men are the Green Lanterns of Earth... but why are so many Earthmen recruited into the Corps? What is their ultimate rolel in the future of the universe? And how will the secret of the rings' power threaten the Guardians and affect Hal Jordan's future?

Sinestro was called the "greatest" of the Green Lanterns; now the renegade has vowed to bring terror to the universe he once protected. The worst murderers, thieves and deviants in the universe have gathered into Sinestro's Corps for one purpose: to instill great fear. Armed with the truth behind Parallax, Sinestro's intergalactic insurgents strike hard and fast at the very heart of the Green Lantern Corps. The Sinestro Corps is about to change everything you know about the Green Lanterns. Fear them. Everyone else will.

Plus, a 6-page backup story by Johns and Dave Gibbons (GREEN LANTERN CORPS, WATCHMEN) — "The Origin of Sinestro"!

Green Lantern: Sinestro Corps Special from DC Comics

Talk a tale of six notes on World War Hulk: Front Line. Paul Jenkins and Ramon Bachs are on the sidelines watching on and reporting with the Bugle to the devastation and evacuation as the Hulk goes on a rampage of revenge.

Christos Gage and Andrea DiVito smash grab with World War Hulk: X-Men. Three fingers here and they all point to getting some pay back on Professor X. And of course, it's not going to be easy. Does it get greasy?

Everything old is scrubbed up with steel wool, spit polished and made new again. Transformers Magazine brings back the old tales from the ever battling war between the Autobots and the Decepticons. There's a movie about without Bumblebee out soon, miss it, watch it, either way, be wary of cars what fall apart.

Let's all hunt them down until they're all gone and that's the Snake Woman: Tales of the Snake Charmer for you. Zeb Wells and Vivek Shinde with a walk on to deliver the 68 in need of good byes to say their sighs. And working shoulders in the cold hurts a lot.

Vince Hernandez and Sean Galloway are on a single shot of salt water with Fathom: Killian's Tide.

Five swings from the jungle vine and that's Sheena to you. Robert Rodi and Matt Merhoff and the jungle queen go a hunting for some heads in the take down of forests and Gucci purses.

One grimm fairy tale takes a venture back on seven samples for a Return to Wonderland. Raven Fregory and Rich Bonk fall down the rabbit hole in this where Alice's daugther sees for herself the land what drove her mad.

Mike Carey. Humberto Ramos and Chris Bachalo bring down the house of that bald guy in X-Men #200. Gambit is back and looking to double down on some hurt against the X-Men. Marauders included. Watch out for the trick card.

Trade paperback of the week

Smash a vamp with Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Omnibus Volume 1. From the first series, when the show was on and not of the run of the show as it is now that it isn't on. Pretty much runs alongside the show back when the living daylights of it were corpsing a mass scene on the TV.

 

And to which it seems like the heat of the freezing months will soon be upon us after the end of Daylight Savings.

Caught out in the sun for that extra hour? Looks like not a bad idea now to have taken a drink of sunscreen. Now it just oozes out SPF 30+.

The threat of annihilation from the humans has subsided, leaving a trail of death and destruction in its wake. Now alone in solitude, the Elite Blue warrior Kiani struggles to come to grips with the shattered pieces of the war's aftermath, yet the profound truth she discovers will forever change her existence.

Continuing directly from the pages of Fathom Volume 2, Kiani's own series begins here, and the world of Fathom will never be the same again!

Fathom: Kiani #1 from Aspen MLT

First thing that quashes the mind is Matt Huynh's alias in thinking of Miscellaneous Adventures of Stykman. Certainly not the local, but a satirical take on the blooming muscle world of superheroes from Jonnie Allen. And yes, the thought does go big blue a little. That's a reference to The Tick by the way.

Virulents will see the terrorists turn into demons and vampires. Because they suck enough energy and blood from the world, let's get physical, the mind is swimming in sleeplessness. Shamik Dasgupta and Ruben are laying in the thick globules of terror.

Everybody takes a choke hold on the lasso with Wonder Woman #6 pulling it tight. Novelist Jodi Picoult gets in the head of Diana Prince as Drew Johnson and Ray Snider cover the skin.

Bring on the hurt, bring on the pain, it's a family kind of affair in a different feel in Fantastic Four #544. Dwayne McDuffie, Paul Pelletier and Rick Magyar check out the new swap of the F4 quad as Black Panther and Storm slip in where Reed and Sue have voided. Left that is.

For those who missed out on the first pick up with the hoopla, and the furore and the "oh-my-gourd! it's all sold out!" and all, Captain America #25 is back again on the shelves. How soon is now, Smiths? Ed Brubaker and Steve Epting on point.

Once more, with feeling and it's Buffy the Vampire Slayer again on the shelves for those who were napping during the day time with the rest of the vamps. Joss Whedon, Georges Jeanty and Andy Owens running in the stake pack.

 

Aspen Matthews, from Fathom, spends much time in the water. Especially considering that she's a Blue/Black and her homeworld is under the surface we all like to stomp and call the earth.

Her attire, naturally, befits the wear of any one who takes to the waters, a bikini wouldn't drag as much as long sleeves and pants. In Aspen's case, it's a natural wardrobe choice for her setting. But she's not the only heroine to get about in a bikini.

Sheena, Queen of the Jungle - it's hot, it's sticky, it's the jungle. Bikini-clad wear is as modest as it gets, and quite the sensible choice. That is until the mozzies and gnats and all manner of biters start latching onto the bare skin.

Shanna the She-Devil - same deal as Sheena, only with slightly different pronunciation. However, a re-imagined mature version would suggest bikini type wear being overkill.

Tigra - Avengers member and leopard print all over. "No Fur!" campaign from PETA might bring her more than naked, it's what they call prep for the table of meat-eaters.

Red Sonja - clearly fighting a hundred battles in chain-mail is one thing. That the outfit styled is a bikini, curiouser and curiouser at the open areas prone to slash attacks. Makes for quick swings and swipes however.

 

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.

Ghost Rider: Trail Of Tears from Marvel Comics

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.
