Marvel Zombies 2 #1; The living dead are back in their second instalment of feeding on the undead flesh. The creative team of Robert Kirkman (Invincible/ Ultimate X-Men) and Sean Phillips (Criminal) return with also Arthur Suydam drawing his popular painted zombie covers. In this epic zombie tale, many years have past and the zombies return from consuming other world's flesh to their own universe only to have their very own 'Civil War' crisis. Let the chumping, biting and eating begin! The series is set in an alternate version of the Marvel Universe (Earth-2149).

Are you ready for Marvel Zombies Civil War? Forty years have passed and the zombies have come back home after eating just about everything else in the universe. Yum yum! What awaits them back on Earth, though, is beyond anything even these shambling monstrosities could have conceived! This is a new series featuring the amazing, irreverent take on the Marvel characters that became last year's unexpected smash hit. They're back and more stomach-churning than ever! The smash hit series is back, daring to ask: "Whose stomach are you in?" 32 PGS./Parental Advisory.

Other Comics to Keep an Eye Out for this Week:

DC showcases; Death of the New Gods #1 (of 8), written and penciled by Jim Starlin (Mystery in Space). With the death of Lightray, one of the New Gods in Countdown #48, it looks like the death-poll will continue in this mini series. The New Gods were created by Jack "The King" Kirby.

From Image Comics; The Sword #1, written and drawn by the Luna Brothers (Girls). This new neo fantasy on-going series features a young female student by the name of Dara. What does a unique sword and an ordinary girl have in common? I sense some high action sword swinging drama coming to events.

Dynamite Entertainment presents; The Boys #11, writer/co-creator Garth Ennis (Punisher MAX); Art/co-creator Darick Robertson (Transmetropolitan). The series has had probably the most controversy, beginning with Wildstorm comics and now continuing on with DE. This current issue see the Boys travel to Moscow. Recommend to mature readers.

DVD of the Month

Superman Doomsday animated movie, from producer and director Bruce Timm (who brought Batman: 'The Animated Series' and Justice League Unlimited). Based off the comic series 'The Death of Superman', by Dan Jurgens.

'When Lexcorp accidentally unearths the intergalactic serial killer Doomsday, Superman battles the creature head-on in the fight of his life. The world collectively mourns it's fallen hero; humanity realise it will never feel truly safe again. Superman's enemies rejoice - all but Lex Luthor, who grieves the loss of his own demented manner, setting off a chilling chain of events that even he couldn't have foreseen'.

Starring Adam Baldwin (Firefly) as the voice as Superman, James Marsters as Lex Luthor (Buffy) and Anne Heche as reporter Lois Lane.

 

Funds are short no doubt to re-animate the buried corpse of Jack "The King" Kirby. Little back on bio-technologies as well. It's a family affair and with Kirby's daughter keeping the line on the line.

An All-New series featuring characters and concepts created by Jack "King" Kirby!

In this double-sized first issue, meet the Berkleys, your typical suburban California family. But when young Garrett Berkley discovers his parents' secret-that the science fiction stories his father writes aren't fiction at all, but autobiography-he's blasted into a whole new universe of adventure, mystery and danger.

Now, Jack Berkley must put down his pen, reassemble his old team, and take up the mantle of being a Galactic Bounty Hunter for one final mission!

Tight like a fist full of dynamite, Image Comics shoot the sky with Casanova. Promises of intrigue and a complete in issue story abound.

 

Looking at the values and perception of those with superpowers, it's the question of what the real world would do in the face of such a being. Such is the concept and basic line behind Emissary from Image Comics.

Messiah or Anti-Christ? Terrorist or savior? The world's first superhuman or alien invader? Who is the Emissary and what is his mission? When he reveals himself high over New York City, how will people react? And more importantly, what will he do when the government tries to kill him?

Emissary is a re-examination of the superhero mythos, which asks the question: How would the world react to a real superhuman? With awe or with fear, with joy or with hatred?

Cut down the fluff. No warbling, no pick up lines, just straight into bed and back with the head for a unrhyming read. Other activities to romp in the playground of the bed? Questions for those holding onto their virtues and making promises to either their gods or themselves. Of course, behind every corner, the amorphous blob known as terrorism lurks...

Adam Chamberlain is a 20-year-old youth minister, a best-selling author, and most important, the head of a rabid national virginity movement. But practicing virgin or not... Adam is about to lose it.

Just a few weeks shy of marrying the girl of his dreams -- the only woman God has said he can ever know sexually -- Adam's fate, future and sex life are cast in direct opposition with God's Word.

Like Y: THE LAST MAN, the series follows one man's dark quest into unknown territories -- geographically and emotionally. A shocking terrorist act casts Adam adrift in exotic locales not so easily managed by a slick image, a clever comeback or the Good Book. Adam is forced to confront head-on the very rifts we all feel between our carnal desires and whatever higher power we answer to.

Will Adam's first time be his last?

Were reading about virgins, the end of civilisation and such not interest you, there are other pursuits in the panels...

Everything new is old again as Marvel once more jump about the time stream. In this case, to let loose with a 100th giant-sized issue featuring none other than the Thunderbolts. (Without any of those fight clubbers around.) Supposedly packed to the frothing gills like the pants of the obese in a collective 104 pages.

Four on the floor and the beat continues on. Fantastic Four: First Family from Marvel finds another fold to finagle a new look at the days following the fateful flight of the Fantastic Four.

Over on the banks of Image Comics, Retro Rocket. "What happens when you sacrifice all chance at a normal life and years later you find your sacrifice has rendered you obsolete?"

Can't get enough of army jocks whipping it with personable robots? Put it away then, and look out for G.I. Joe Vs Transformers: The Art of War from Devil's Due Publishing. Worlds collide (again) with the forces of good slumming it in Cybertron ready to stop the war on everything. Chaser-style most unlikely.
