Incredible Hulk #7.1: Can the Hulk survive without Bruce Banner?  This is the prelude to what looks to be one of the best Hulk stories, “STAY ANGRY!”

The Art of Amanda Connor HC: Um…duh? An entire book of Amanda Connor art is a slam dunk.

New Avengers #25: AVX tie-in. A marriage is on the rocks. Teams are at each other’s throats. Chaos! Anarchy! Squirrel Girl!

Saga #2: Issue #1 sold out pretty much everywhere and I expect #2 will do much the same.  So come in early and bright Wednesday to find out why!

Secret #1: Hickman and Bodenheim examining the  shadowy world of espionage that goes on with governments and private security firms?  Should be excellent!

Winter Soldier #4: Spy stories and espionage, plots and assassins.  A ticked off Dr. Doom and heavily armed gorillas with jet-packs.  These are a few of my favorite things.  And this book has them all!
