newuniversal #1; Written by Warren Ellis with pencils from Salvador Larroca
They make sunglasses to keep out the harsh rays of the sun from burning the eyes with the UV. They don't necessarily make them for keeping out fingers that want to poke like the Three Stooges have taught some of the kids.

Planet Earth. Inhabited by six billion people. People leading ordinary lives, coping with everyday struggles. But on a night like any other, the Earth is rocked by the most startling celestial event ever witnessed by the human race. The White Event.

And from its wake, a handful of humans emerge as something more.

Acclaimed writer Warren Ellis (NEXTWAVE) and superstar artist Salvador Larroca (X-MEN) bring you this new universe -
a universe witnessing superhuman power for the first time.

newuniversal #1 from Marvel Comics


Six years on the burner and Kaare Andrews comes swinging in with the first of four of Spider-Man: Reign. 35 years on, and what might happen to Spidey?

Mike Carey and Brandon Peterson join forces with Ultimate Vision to take down... a mad and crazy scientist hell bent on taking a piece of the world for himself. A plan to foil and dismember in five parts. Much like the main chunks of a body.

Andy Diggle and Whilce Portacio go on ahuntin' and ascoutin' to see just where the Dark Knight got his goodies and bag of tricks in a six issue Batman Confidential. One mention of shark repellant and it's back to licking sweaty thongs.

It ain't a Marvel handbook, it's one from Image and with that, The Official Handbook Of The Invincible Universe rips yarns and bios on the good and bad people that Mark Grayson, aka Invincible, has to live with in his universe.

Rehash of the horror slash continues apace and this time it's Jaso Vorhees with Friday The 13th. Jimmy Palmiotti, Justin Gray and Adam Archer are the tour guides in this visit to Crystal Lake. Amazingly enough, the tourists aren't too bothered by its history of bloodening.

Queensland/Adelaide for superheroes, that's what Tranquility is. A place where the old crime fighters take afternoon naps between snacks on jelly and soft bread. Gail Simone and Neil Googe booking the long ride into the peace and quiet that turns out not to be entirely that.

One team to inspire them all, Justice Society of America. Geoff Johns, Dale Eaglesham and Art Thibert watch on with the recruitment program that kicks off the series. As all series kickers are looking to do when a team's involved by nominations and elections.

Fire, flames and a whole lot of flickering ember in Meltdown by David B. Schwartz and Sean Wang. Prestige in two from Image Comics, a tale of a super hero whose very own powers are killing him. With only a week before the end, he needs to tidy up his affairs.
