World War Hulk Aftersmash: Warbound #1; writer: Greg Pak; art: Leonard Kirk; letters: Nate Piekos; cover: Jim Cheung
Wake up after a heavy night before and start looking for the Weet-Bix to start the day. Really, is there anything as soggy as those biscuits in a bowl of milk after a few minutes? How about oats? Smashing good really.
The puny humans hate the Warbound, the savage alien monsters who joined the Hulk in his quest for vengeance against the heroes of Earth. But when new horrors arise in the New Mexico desert, the puny humans might just learn that a savage alien monster or two can be pretty handy in a pinch.
What is Gammaworld? Which deadly enemy from the Hulk's past has returned? And who here dares to learn what it is to be Warbound, in life and death, whatever may come?
World War Hulk Aftersmash: Warbound #1 from Marvel Comics
Other comics to eyeball this week
Werewolf juiciness from Simon Reed, Mike Ploog and Simon Bisley getting
Thicker Than Blood. About two brothers slinging the highlands of Scotland and spotting not any of Christopher Lamberts by monsters of lycanthropic persuasion. Wrong place, wrong time.
Roy Thomas, Miguel Angel Sepulveda and Sandu Florea wrap the gears around that really long story and translate it with pictures with
Marvel Illustrated: The Iliad. Some body's at the door after all these years.
Four more until it's here and Jason Blair and Leanne Buckley count down the Mayan calendar in
The Long Count. Know the year 2012? That's supposedly the end of the world according to the Mayans. Where are they now?
Brian Reed and Edgar Salazar go hitting
Mercenaries as they convert the video game into another conversion property for Dynamite Entertainment. Many explosions lead to much ringing in the ears. Can't you hear the doorbell?
Doctor Who Classics, so aptly titled, collects and colours in the black and whites of the original series from the UK. The originals of which done by Pat Mills, John Wagner and Dave Gibbons. Like watching old reruns of Doctor Who and putting colour spectacles over the eyes.
Frank LaPerch and Ash Jackson go Hollywood, vampires with a new reality TV poppet hopeful of
Eve: Vampire Diva. Can't seem to get the leaking of the ears to stop. Strange smelling too. Last two sentences have nothing to do with the solicit by the way.
Step toe with
Countdown Presents The Search For Ray Palmer: Superwoman/Batwoman. Palmiotti, Gray and Randy Green visit a world where the sexes are flipping cross switches on the ever continuing hunt for that little speck of a bloke in the DC Universe.
Zombie filled trade of the week
Sure, it might be a new hardcover out this week, but then that only highlights the goodness that happens to be
The Walking Dead by Robert Kirkman and Charlie Adlard. Zone on the head out with tightness of the neck writing and a munching good time with a bunch of survivors surviving a zombie infested world. Heart, dammit, they have heart and brains and mmm... braaaiins.

The Brave and The Bold #1; written by Mark Waid, art by George Perez and Bob Wiacek
Watch enough day time soaps and the time slip cracks aplenty with the wash of nothing clear. Turmoil, bickering, two hams fisting the air and it's all quite academic if not for the interplay which really proves the hook for the bait.
The greatest team-up title of all time is back! A proud DC tradition is restored as writer Mark Waid (52, SUPERGIRL AND THE LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES) and legendary artists George P?rez (THE NEW TEEN TITANS, CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS) and Bob Wiacek (ORION) put Batman and Green Lantern on the trail of what could be the greatest weapon in the DCU!
The trail leads to Ventura, the gambling planet--wanna bet what'll happen if they don't get their hands on the weapon?
This issue will feature two covers by George P?rez, Cover A spotlights Batman; Cover B spotlights Green Lantern!
The Brave and The Bold #1 from DC Comics
Sean McKeever and Terrell Bobbett flush the start of
Spider-Man Family with the new part of the old cart. Reprints, thick count and a swag to swing the bimonthly of another Spider-Man title.
As Jim Carrey will tell you, Dr Pepper has not 19 flavours, but 23. And 23 is a number which can drive you crazy. This has no relation other than issue number to
Powers #23 from Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Avon Oeming through ICON.
Collecting and colouring the series which appeared first in Japan,
Witchblade Takeru Manga from Top Cow, Yasuko Kobayashi and Kazasa Sumita. A school girl in a monastery, the witchblade and colour. Like metal long enough and it starts to give a taste.
Image takes a swift kick into the ET nads as
Invincible #39 from Robert Kirkman and Ryan Ottley shows up with an alien force looking to make the denizens of Earth their slaves. For when you want superheroes with a bit of joy about them.
Mike Carey, Skottie Young and Greg Land unleash the creep in
Legion of Monsters: Werewolf By Night from Marvel Comics. First of a triad features the hairy one what runs around at full moons howling and a scratching at the door to be let in again.
