This book provides quick-witted dialogue, thrilling action, and the rare look at an Avenger on his "days off".

Andy Diggle and Jock's thrilling 4 part, creator-owned mini-series comes to a surprising yet satisfying end after a long 8 years in the making.

Ania Solo, descendant of Han Solo and Princess Leia, begins an ambitious journey that might very well see her to the middle of an Imperial disaster and a Sith scheme.

Jupiter's Legacy #1 lives up to the hype and delivers an emotionally and philosophically moving introduction to this new series. This is only the beginning of a brutally honest superhero epic for our time.

The Wake is shaping up to be a memorably terrifying series and it's only two issues in. Scott Snyder and Sean Murphy are doing all the right things, and honestly it's nice to see some of Snyder's work aside from his cape-wearing titles. I know picking up a new indie title can sometimes be nerve wracking, so that's why I'm telling you here that you owe it to yourself to pick up The Wake #1 and #2.

A western set in a dystopian America amidst the impending apocalypse in which Death viciously sets out to find his wife. How could this book not be great?

Dr. Otto Octavius is still in control of Peter Parker's body, but for how much longer? The Avengers aren't the only ones close to figuring out the truth about the Superior Spider-Man. Plus, does Doc Ock find his soft side?

Overall, the Iron Man 3 Prelude was a pretty fun read that, once again, shows Marvel's ability to expertly deliver tie-ins. The writing and illustrations are both on par for what you would expect from Marvel, and certainly manage to capture the overall tone of the MCU. So, if you're anxiously anticipating the May 3rd Iron Man 3 release and you're itching for any kind of additional story info, I definitely recommend this series to you!

God of Thunder series takes us on a short trip to the past to reveal why the God Butcher is so bent out of shape.
