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.

Perhapanauts: Second Chances #1; written by Tom Dezago with art by Craig Rousseau
Throw a bunch of monsters into a room together and they're bound to form a squad looking to front other monsters and ghoulies. Right? After all, though gravity won't get you high, it will work in mysterious ways of the paranormal. And if the party was rockin' out the first time, the after party might be even better.
They're BACK! Still glowing from the heat of their first mind-numbing miniseries, those prowlers of the paranormal--The PERHAPANAUTS--are back to confront more creepy cryptozoological creatures and extradimensional entities! (No, the fact that the team is mostly made up of the same mythic monsters isn't lost on us...)
A Bigfoot, a chupacabra, a ghost, and a psychic, all agents for the enigmatic BEDLAM (Bureau of Extra-Dimensional Liabilities and Management), tear it up as they continue the fight to keep us safe from the unseen horrors in our closets and the things that go bump in the night!
Don't miss out! Join The Perhapanauts as they delve into the mysteries of the unknown and the unexplained and answer questions like why there're more lines on your left palm than on your right! Order yours today! (Also, stop looking at your hand.)
Perhapanauts Second Chances #1 (Of 4)
Don Figueroa and Bob Budiansky trip down transforming robot memory lane as with
Transformers Animated Movie Adaptation. Four parts from IDW Publishing that throws in extra sparks and touches for the fans.
Four fangs on
Impaler from Image Comics. William Harms, Nick Postic and Nick Marinkovich unleash a bloody tale of vampires where if you're lucky, you could end up as a victim. Read the first issue to find out what and be disappointed that it may only be open to the Yanks.
Forget something in the DCU with all that One Year Later gear? Well, Grant Morrison and J.H. Williams are here with the long awaited
Seven Soldiers of Victory finally coming to the battle front. How many question marks can you fit on a keyboard?
Oh hello Halloween, are you eating pumpkin today? Michael Angelos, Jerry Beck and Tony Bledsoe resurrect one Jack Corby for
Jack The Lantern: Ghosts. A war of the soul from Castle Rain Entertainment. Yes, will you be requiring sauce on that wedge?
Brian Pulido and Gabriel Guzman go battletastic with
Lady Death Vs War Angel. A one shot from Avatar Press. It gets cold standing around in a bucket of ice cubes.
Richard Hatch in any form is any form of Hatch goodness, so on the hot trail of the new comes
Classic Battlestar Galactica from Dynamite Entertainment. Rick Remender and Carlos Rafael dodging the Cylons with the crew.
All the planet's a stage with the Worldstorm from Wildstorm Comics continuing as
Deathblow returns from a death blow. Brian Azzarello and Carlos D'Anda picking at the lock that sets the man free on his quest to discover himself over a trail of corpses ready to be made.

Livewires #1; Written by Adam Warren, pencils by Ricardo Mays with inks by Jason Martin
Never fear about the mobile phone bill spiral. If at any time the population looks like it will relax and fall back into a vicious cycle of loan and debt, a "special" report on either
Today Tonight or
A Current Affair will air as repeat new and seek to remedy that situation. After all, once news overlaps into a six month period, it's highly likely the viewing audience will crave that repetition.
But what about the kids and teenagers that have evolved beyond mere phone slavery? Those that have embedded themselves and their lives into all things high tech? A startling exclusive by
The Eyeball On the Ground has uncovered such a cult. They call themselves the Livewires. Hollowpoint Ninja, Gothic Lolita, Cornfed, Stem Cell and Social Butterfly make up the names of this underground and secretive crew. The cameraman was finding it hard to even work his equipment after getting too close to the action.
They're nanobuilt humanform combat mecha. Or so leaked word from an insider has it. Their press secretary Adam Warren is sticking to that story. As is their rendition artist, Rick Mays. Typical of secretive clans, there's no way to tell what is the truth and what is disinformation.
Be ready to peel those eyelids when
The Eyeball on The Ground screens as it might reveal all and ask such questions as, "What do they know about Mamdouh Habib and the government's fascination over a man they would have rather forgotten?"
