Charging up the letters on many comics pages, the words "BUDDHA-BUDDHA-BUDDHA" throws in for the sound of heavy machine gun fire. Quite ironic, unlike rain on a wedding day.

What? You didn’t actually think that a load of buckshot to the chest in shark-infested waters was gonna put him down for good, did you?

The Punisher’s wildest foe is back -- give or take a few boy parts -- this time he’s embarking on a solo mission: playing bodyguard to the son of a dangerous mob boss. Should be a breeze for a guy who went toe-to-toe with Frank Castle and lived to tell about it, right? Guess again. Junior is a hemophiliac -- and every crime syndicate in the country can’t wait to take a shot at him as payback to his dad.

To survive, Barracuda will have to navigate hitmen, corrupt cops, black ops, a Central American strongman, and rescue a damsel in distress. No kidding.

Punisher Presents: Barracuda Max #1 from Marvel Comics

Land of fantasy, the land of trilogies, and in this incarnation from a work of R. A. Salvatore, Forgotten Realms: Streams of Silver a step into the trio rande. From Devil's Due Publishing with aid from Andrew Dabb and Val Semeiks. There's a bloke with a raging red beard on the cover. Sold?

Patience is a slave to the trade of impetus and in this tale from Orson Scott Card, Jake Black and Adriano Batista, she's a slave. She also happens to be the rightful heir to the throne of the world in Orson Scott Card's Wyrms from Dabel Bros and Marvel Comics.

Eye starts twitching many hours in the light.

 

Ben Templesmith a couple weeks back had a Wormwood comic out. And now there's this Wormwood from Garth Ennis picking up from the minor preview hardly there to hold. Armageddon seems to threaten to start up every now and then. And all those times, they keep on making burgers you could suck your brains out draining.

Garth Ennis unleashes his next major religious epic in the vein of Preacher, but this-time, he's taking it up a notch!

Danny Wormwood is having all the troubles of modern man, his TV shows have issues, he cheats on his wife, and his rabbit talks back to him. But this poor sod also has to deal with the fact that his dad is Satan himself and Pope Jacko and the Catholic church are also raising Hell.

Oh yeah, the Armageddon is about to start and Jesus is a right thicko, not much help there.

Ennis drags the whole world into the gutter with his trademark razor-sharp dialogue, biting wit, and the stunning art of Jacen Burrows, all in full-color.

Chronicles of Wormwood #1 from Avatar Press

Jonathan David Goff and Khary Randolph go hell for long capes and big chains in Adventures Of Spawn #1 from Image Comics. Those familiar with the original web comic will come to spot more maggots and flesh hidden in this directors cut version type thing. It's late and the computer is talking back.

From Moonstone Books, it's a mega jam from the company that sits next to the Frew on the Comic Shop shelve. Take a gander.

Take a life and write it down. Wonderlost from Image Comics is C.B. Cebulski doing the autobiographay thing with art from Paul Azaceta, Alina Galloway, Jonathan Luna, Martin Montiel and Ethan Young.

More pork to bacon a ham sandwich with, Ultimate Civil War: Spider-Ham Crisis #1 from Marvel Comics takes a joke and uncoils the curly. Sitting with the juicy juice on at the table with J.

Some think they're born to dance, shakin' like they don't know what they're waiting for. Shakin' like they're bakin' ice, it's cold, it's flawed. Inside, outside, inside, outside, at least when you're with Midnighter you know where he's standing. Outside and proud.

From the pages of the Authority comes the Midnighter, the world's most lethal weapon, in a new Worldstorm series written by Garth Ennis (PREACHER, THE BOYS) with art by the acclaimed team of Chris Sprouse & Karl Story (TOM STRONG)!

The Midnighter, returning from a mission in war-torn Afghanistan, is accosted as he enters the Carrier. Something is terribly wrong; these unseen assailants take him down too easily and then drag him though the teleportation door to an unknown location. After regaining consciousness he is given a cryptic choice: either kill a mass murderer or die!

Midnighter #1 - Wildstorm Comics

Brian Pulido and Gabriel Guzman press the flesh from Avatar Press as Lady Death faces Stygmata in Lady Death Blacklands. It'll be questionable as Stygmata consists of liquid blood. Not the solid kind or the gassy kind. Is it gas? No.

From Top Cow Studios, second verse, darker than the first and the college flunky super heroes return for their sophomore year in Freshmen II. Hugh Sterbakov and Will Conrad spitting wads of paper through straws with the hapless crew accompanied by a talking beaver.

Archaia Studios Press crack out The Killer with Matz and Luc Jacamon flying flanks. First of ten, it's coming up on a 7-9 split and that's just an analogy out of thin air.

Jonathan Hickman says good night and good luck with The Nightly News from Image Comics. Watch the news and make sure you're not the one they're talking about. It could get hairy. Like eating a Chinese gooseberry/kiwi fruit whole.

 

Over in the Marvel Universe, they have the government running their Civil War trying to kick and keep the super heroes in line. In the realm of Wildstorm, they have The Boys.

Garth Ennis (Preacher) and Darick Robertson (Transmetropolitan), co-creators of two of the most thought-provoking comics of the last decade, introduce their first original collaboration for a new monthly series: THE BOYS - a dark, twisted look at super powers, super-people, and the men and women who make sure the world's "heroes" never go too far.

With a quarter-million super-powered beings in the world, someone's got to watch what's going on beneath all those masks and capes. In a U.S.A. uncomfortably like our own, that task falls to The Boys, a government-funded group of operatives dedicated to keeping the "supes" in line.

Team leader Billy Butcher, described by a confidential C.I.A. report as "the most lethal individual ever encountered by this agency," is on the hunt for new recruits - but it takes something special to join this outfit. You have to be smart. You have to be strong. And you have to hate supes with every ounce of black passion in your heart.

Finding a new home with the Dark Horse crew, Arvid Nelson and Juan Ferreyra reinstall the mystery, magic and tales of murder in Rex Mundi. Taking place in a Paris where magic is real and the Catholic Church never lost its swing.
