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.

 

Not the HSC and nothing to do with the swig. It's all about keeping magic in check, a smashed rock and promotions all around in the family of Captain Marvel.

That's DC by the way, where the universe is in on itself and it's up to Billy Batson to step up to the plate and order a nice healthy breakfast.

Acclaimed writer Judd Winick (OUTSIDERS, GREEN ARROW) redefines the mighty Captain Marvel in a 12-issue maxiseries featuring a stunning new art style for fan-favorite illustrator Howard Porter (THE FLASH, JLA)!

The world is in magical turmoil as Captain Marvel tries to keep everything under control in the aftermath of the events of DAY OF VENGEANCE. And with the rest of the Marvel Family powerless, it's all up to him - unless some drastic changes occur fast. Luckily, everything changes by this issue's end!

From Basement Comics comes Cavewoman Jungle Jam swinging by and with Paul Renaud on the other vine.

Rumour monger Rich Johnston takes a dirt nap in CSI: Dying In The Gutters. On the case with IDW and the CSI crew, Steven Grant and Stephen Mooney in the one-shot.

Frank Cho, Doug Murray and Homs slash it on with Dynamite Entertainment to bring Savage Red Sonja: Queen of the Frozen Wastes. There's no better outfit than a chain mail bikini to head off into the frozen north side, and that's just exactly what happens in this of the four part series.

Double Dynamite as Battlestar Galactica heads into the new series. Greg Pak and Nigel Raynor are stowaways on Galactica as they sandwich themselves in tales between seasons of the reincarnated show.

On a DC flight, Chuck Dixon and Gordon Purcell hope on board with Snakes On A Plane. An adaptation to sit back and relax with in a suit filled with cheese and big grins.

 

Undergoing the reality smashing after effects of super heroes going nuts, the DC Universe continues to warp and bend in and upon itself. From the smoking aftermath, slew on slew of tangents and new/old series reappearing and disappearing...

In 2005, DC set the stage for INFINITE CRISIS with the unbelievable $1.00 special COUNTDOWN TO INFINITE CRISIS. Now, DC presents an equally crucial 80-page one-shot specially priced at just $1.00, giving fans the opportunity to sample six new projects set to debut in July and August!

BRAVE NEW WORLD includes original stories that act as a preview for the following books:

MARTIAN MANHUNTER by A.J. Lieberman (Harley Quinn, Gotham Knights), with art by Al Barrionuevo and Bit (Gotham Knights)

OMAC by Bruce Jones (Year One: Batman/Scarecrow, Nightwing, THE Warlord) with art by Renato Guedes (Adventures of Superman)

UNCLE SAM AND THE FREEDOM FIGHTERS by Justin Gray and Jimmy Palmiotti (Jonah Hex, Hawkman) with art by Daniel Acu?a (Outsiders, JLA covers)

THE CREEPER by Steve Niles (BATMAN: GOTHAM COUNTY LINE) with art by Justiniano and Walden Wong (Day of Vengeance)

THE ALL-NEW ATOM by Gail Simone (Birds of Prey, Villains United) with art by John Byrne (BLOOD OF THE DEMON) and Trevor Scott (THE AUTHORITY)

THE TRIALS OF SHAZAM! by Judd Winick (Batman, Green Arrow) with art by Howard Porter (JLA).

Don't miss the chance to get in on the ground floor of these six exciting new series! Plus, witness the shocking return of a character you never thought you'd see again!

Of course, it's a strange week where there is only one brand new debut series. Odd indeed.

Brought to you by the folks who worked on the live-action series back in the 90s, Flash: The Fastest Man Alive from DC Comics. It's the Flash and he's back. But it's not the Flash that's back. It's another Flash that's back. If this is another Flash at all that is.

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

Star Wars Legacy from Dark Horse comics is an all-new series set a century or more after ROTJ of the original trilogy. Follow on, roll on, move on.

Ten years on for that blue spinning hedgehog and Sonic X hits its tenth issue to boot! Grab it from Archie Comics if you dare. Do you dare?
