YOUNG AVENGERS #1

(W) Kieron Gillen  (A) Jamie McKelvie

Legacy isn't a dirty word... but it's an irrelevant one. It's not important what our parents did. It matters what WE do. Someone has to save the world. You're someone. Do the math. The critically acclaimed team of Gillen/McKelvie/Wilson (with added Norton Sauce) decide to reinvent the teen superhero comic for the 21st century, uniting Wiccan, Hulkling and Hawkeye with Loki, Marvel Boy and Ms. America. No pressure. Young Avengers is as NOW! as the air in your lungs, and twice as vital. It's the book that knows Hyperbole is the BEST! THING! EVER!


Drop into the next level of super-hero comics with the most anticipated book of the entire Marvel NOW relaunch!! Gillen and McKelvie, the superstar team behind 'Phonogram', present a comic that truly embraces the NOW of that initiative by showcasing the next stars of the Marvel universe as real people rather than supporting characters living under the shadow of their namesakes. In fact this isn't even a comic, it's a mesmerizing power pop bubblegum song of transcendence that will shatter your assumptions of what the medium is capable of achieving! The future of comics is NOW and it reads like a Phil Spector wall of sound burst to the third eye!! RECOMMENDED BY CASEY!

OOOHHH, SCARY -- PHANTOM VARIANTS!!

We are pleased to announce our participation in the Phantom Variant program with a super scarce, super rare cover for both REVIVAL #1 and #6! There are only a handful of stores across the country who will be receiving these variants, so make sure to stop in and get your grubby little hands on one, especially since they will be the same price as the regular cover!


REVIVAL

(W) Tim Seely (A) Mike Norton

For one day in rural central Wisconsin, the dead came back to life. Now it's up to Officer Dana Cypress to deal with the media scrutiny, religious zealots, and government quarantine that has come with them. In a town where the living have to learn to deal with those who are supposed to be dead, Officer Cypress must solve a brutal murder, and everyone, alive or undead, is a suspect.



We have both the collection and #6 will be here next week which will bring you up to date on this fantastic new series from the creators of Hack/Slash and BATTLEPUG!!
