Some think they're born to dance, shakin' like they don't know what they're waiting for. Shakin' like they're bakin' ice, it's cold, it's flawed. Inside, outside, inside, outside, at least when you're with Midnighter you know where he's standing. Outside and proud.

From the pages of the Authority comes the Midnighter, the world's most lethal weapon, in a new Worldstorm series written by Garth Ennis (PREACHER, THE BOYS) with art by the acclaimed team of Chris Sprouse & Karl Story (TOM STRONG)!

The Midnighter, returning from a mission in war-torn Afghanistan, is accosted as he enters the Carrier. Something is terribly wrong; these unseen assailants take him down too easily and then drag him though the teleportation door to an unknown location. After regaining consciousness he is given a cryptic choice: either kill a mass murderer or die!

Midnighter #1 - Wildstorm Comics

Darwyn Cooke and Tim Sale take a hit for six as they look through key points in the life of the one with an S curl in Superman: Confidential. First up on the block from DC Comics, Kal-El in the path of radioactive chunks of Krypton.

MC2 three times four and the A-Next crew are back in action with Avengers Next. From the stables of Marvel Comics, Tom DeFalco and Ron Lim check up on the team as they battle zombies (got brain?) before choosing a new line up.

Marc Sumerak and Gurihiru chaperone a field trip with Marvel's youngest super heroes as they join Spidey in Spider-Man And Power Pack. Well, that whole midsection of the first sentence was rather superfluous doncha think? Verily.

Harris Publications are still vampire strong with Vampirella: Intimate Visions. Featuring the work of Joe Jusko it's the must have for the Jusko fan. And of those who like reference points on cosplay costumes with bare fabric.

End of the road for Marvel's first family in Fantastic Four: The End. Alan Davis takes the wheel of the Fantasticar to see how the break up of the FF shatters the entire galaxy.

Brian Pulido and Gabriel Guzman press the flesh from Avatar Press as Lady Death faces Stygmata in Lady Death Blacklands. It'll be questionable as Stygmata consists of liquid blood. Not the solid kind or the gassy kind. Is it gas? No.

From Top Cow Studios, second verse, darker than the first and the college flunky super heroes return for their sophomore year in Freshmen II. Hugh Sterbakov and Will Conrad spitting wads of paper through straws with the hapless crew accompanied by a talking beaver.

Archaia Studios Press crack out The Killer with Matz and Luc Jacamon flying flanks. First of ten, it's coming up on a 7-9 split and that's just an analogy out of thin air.

Jonathan Hickman says good night and good luck with The Nightly News from Image Comics. Watch the news and make sure you're not the one they're talking about. It could get hairy. Like eating a Chinese gooseberry/kiwi fruit whole.

 

Core Wildstorm fans will note no doubt that the lightening strikes are happening again. Bringing it back old school with Jim Lee over the head are the likes and squads of Gen¹³, The Authority and WildCATS.

It's a veritable death blow to sitting around on a rock waiting for that monkey to get back from his lunch break and clock back in shift.

Kicking up a storm of action, fanaticism and magic like Wildstorm on a Worldstorm surely unsettles something in the air. And when shifting sands of the environment are of concern, it's dust, pollen and all sorts of airborne particles floating up above the knee line.

For those who are nose and airway sensitive, that means a world of hay fever and emptied out tissue boxes/rolls. It is spring right now, and heading into summer, can only bring up more things to find their ways into the nasal cavities.

And if wearing a mask sounds like a good idea in keeping out the nasties, just know that they won't stop everything from seeping in.

 

Come again like the pizza that serves well into the week, cold and otherwise frozen from the eats. Not too bad on the round again, and why not? It was fun the first time down. Can't it be like that for another down?

A new generation of adventure begins as superstar writer Gail Simone (Birds of Prey, Villains United) and artists Talent Caldwell & Matt "Batt" Banning (Wildcats: Nemesis) join forces to reimagine the classic WildStorm teen team!

The life of a teenager can be a strange enough experience, but when super-powers are added to the mix things get a whole lot more confusing in a hurry!

Meet Caitlin, Sarah, Roxy, Bobby, and Eddie - outcast teenagers from different parts of the country who quickly learn they all have something in common: abilities far beyond those of their classmates!

But what's the secret to these wonderful and scary powers, and what role do the nefarious Tabula Rasa and International Operations play?

Over in the Marvel Universe, they have the government running their Civil War trying to kick and keep the super heroes in line. In the realm of Wildstorm, they have The Boys.

Garth Ennis (Preacher) and Darick Robertson (Transmetropolitan), co-creators of two of the most thought-provoking comics of the last decade, introduce their first original collaboration for a new monthly series: THE BOYS - a dark, twisted look at super powers, super-people, and the men and women who make sure the world's "heroes" never go too far.

With a quarter-million super-powered beings in the world, someone's got to watch what's going on beneath all those masks and capes. In a U.S.A. uncomfortably like our own, that task falls to The Boys, a government-funded group of operatives dedicated to keeping the "supes" in line.

Team leader Billy Butcher, described by a confidential C.I.A. report as "the most lethal individual ever encountered by this agency," is on the hunt for new recruits - but it takes something special to join this outfit. You have to be smart. You have to be strong. And you have to hate supes with every ounce of black passion in your heart.

At some point, people who think about wearing all leather attire also think about dusting themselves down with talcum powder.

And then there are other people who point out to time that powdering up is good for the main, but with enough sweat, no amount of talc is enough to provide a smooth ride. There aren't many who can pull off an all leather ensemble.
