With powers unremarkable in comparison to the great icons of Marvel, Jessica never found her niche. But once she hung up her cape, she was surprised at how quickly she fell out of the spandex loop. Sure, she may hang out with some of the Avengers socially, but she`s not welcome in Avengers Mansion. And she feels the rejection. She`s self-destructive, drinks too much, and has a huge inferiority complex. And did we mention that she's now a Private Investigator who specializes in cases of the super human variety? So if you're thirsty for the film noir feel and complex characterization, grab a stool at the bar! • BENDIS SPEAKS: "We'll follow Jessica through a totally unique look at the Marvel Universe. We'll see ideas and characters from a different light. Things you have never seen before in a Marvel comic. It's an adult oriented crime drama, much in the vein of my graphic novels Jinx and Powers and my work on DAREDEVIL. It's a character driven piece. Luke Cage, Matt Murdock, and Carol Danvers all pop up in early issues, just to name a few. And it's beautiful to look at with art by penciler Michael Gaydos (Jinx) and inker Matt Hollingsworth, and with stunning painted covers by David Mack." • THE FORMAT: Ongoing monthly series. 32 pages, with ads. • THE WARNING: Contains explicit content.

Or are they? • THE STORY: After a brisk firefight in the Mexican desert, Fury discovers both ex-S.H.I.E.L.D. and ex-Hydra personnel among the enemy dead — further evidence that the glory days when good was good and evil was evil are behind him and fading fast. But a ray of light on the horizon comes from an unexpected source: an old enemy of Nick's is in town, an ex-Hydra soldier who almost killed our grizzled hero — and vice versa — more than a dozen times. And Rudy's got an offer for his old adversary... boy, does he! • THE CREATORS: You want intense?

This special six-issue series will finally answer the question: who is the man known as Wolverine?! Throw away your expectations and prepare to enter the unknown! • JENKINS SPEAKS: "He's spent all of these years wondering where he came from and who he is. This story will now give us insight as to why he became the person he is — where he comes from and how he was shaped as a person," Paul Jenkins explained. "So if you take Wolverine and boil him down to his essence — forget the events, forget the adamantium skeleton, forget about the healing factor and all that sort of stuff — and take him as a person only, he's the kind of person who like the rest of us questions himself, wonders what it was that shaped him. He's a metaphor for that sort of existential question that we all ask ourselves all the time. He is the comic book version of that question. By the time we get to the end of this story, we'll answer enough parts of that question that he can go of in search of himself even more than before. It reclarifies and it actually reenergizes him as a character." • THE CREATORS: No one examines the psyche like Paul Jenkins (PETER PARKER: SPIDER-MAN, INHUMANS, SENTRY, etc.), so we're teaming him up with master X-Men artist Andy Kubert (ULTIMATE X-MEN)! We even got our own EIC, Joe Quesada, to draw the covers! • THE FORMAT: Each chapter of this six-issue series will be 32 pages, with ads — printed on glossy stock paper with a cardstock cover. 7-59606-05155-7-00111 3.50 X-Men EXILES #4 cover by mike mckone & mark mckenna judd winick/mike mckone/mark mckenna The trial of Phoenix continues!

How much cocaine do you need to lead a revolution? CABLE changes the rules of engagement — exploding in a new, geopolitical direction for a nonstop battle of bombs and babes! • TISCHMAN SPEAKS: "CABLE is going to become much more of a real world, geo-political book," the writer explained to Newsarama 4.0. "Cable is a guy who believes that the war between man and mutant has already begun and that only he can stop it. To that end, he's going to be traveling around the globe, inserting himself into current political hotspots, and forcing himself into those conflicts. I think this book is different than most books on the market right now. We will be using politics as a backdrop, but good stories are always good stories, wherever they take place. I think that this is just an aspect of Cable that has not yet been explored. When you strip everything away, the only thing Cable knows how to do is be a soldier. He believes in his principles, he has seen the bad side of the future, and he's desperately trying to make sure that doesn't happen. He's a solider who has made the decision that he needs to be proactive. He makes his own rules, and this is a book where the ends justify the means." • THE FORMAT: 32 pages, with ads. 7-59606-01362-3-09711 2.25 CYCLOPS #2 cover by mark texeira & jimmy palmiotti brian k. vaughan/mark texeira/jimmy palmiotti Introducing Ulysses — the man tailor-made to take down Cyclops!

But she's also a woman in trouble, her life and sanity gravely threatened by the very power that makes her so valuable as a hero. Now, her power has mutated: like her name itself, it's gone "rogue." The residual psyches that she once absorbed — which at one time faded away — are stronger, battling hers for dominance. Worse, all those stolen powers keep manifesting themselves on a random basis that's totally out of her control. As if that wasn't bad enough, she's also having nightmares, recurring images of herself in flight from a pack of sentient dinosaurs. To help her, the X-Treme team has to divine the meaning and source of her dreams — which in turn leads them to answer a cry for help so stark and desperate that it cannot be ignored. Thus begins a journey that will take these mutant heroes to the bottom of the world — and to the dawn of time itself! For in a hidden corner of the globe, the great dinosaurs of the Jurassic and Cretaceous ages still rule — and some of the X-Men's oldest and most malevolent foes lie in wait to destroy them! There, in the Savage Land, the very best among the team will be confronted by the very worst that lies hidden in their souls, and as a result be forced to reassess what it means to be a hero. And possibly, a human being.

Since his debut in AMAZING FANTASY #15, nearly four decades ago, Peter Parker has been running from the one, singular confrontation that will change his life. The one he has feared, and dreaded, since he assumed the role of Spider-Man. He has now run out of room to run. This is a confrontation 40 years in the making. No hype. No bombast... but no clues.

"I've run out of pithy remarks to make about this book. It's very funny. It's very entertaining. It's probably Peter David's best work. It may be one of the 10 best comic books currently published. Go buy it, already, so I can stop thinking of clever new ways to recommend it every month." - CaptainComics.net 7-59606-04815-1-02311 2.50 FANTASTIC FOUR: THE WORLD'S GREATEST COMIC MAGAZINE #10 cover by bruce timm & joe sinnott Asgard... trashed by the Cosmic Cube!

Two young viking warriors learn the story of the storm that rebelled against Thor at the urging of Loki — a storm that would one day become the Godstorm! Also, the mighty Avengers face a new and powerful enemy in their earliest days as a team! If you liked SPIDER-MAN: LIFELINES, you'll love THOR: GODSTORM! •THE WRITER SPEAKS: "It`s pretty sweeping in scope — I was looking to do something that would deal with Thor as god, Thor as myth, within the context of Thor as Marvel character," explained Busiek. "I was a nut for Norse mythology long before I was a comics reader, and I wanted to get some of that feel into things. When I was invited to write this project, I talked to Steve and outlined the approach I wanted to take, with mythic overtones and a legendary feel, and he got very enthusiastic about it, so I`m plotting the book very much to that core idea — the idea that these aren`t just adventures, they`re legends, and they should feel that way. And then Steve draws them, and that`s where his style comes into play — he`s reinterpreting and repacing my plots in his own way, and making the story richer and more powerful as he does so. Steve`s already done with #2, so we`re working on the final issue already." • THE FORMAT: Each issue of this three-issue, monthy series will be 32 pages... with no ads! Printed on glossy paper with a cardstock cover. 7-59606-05161-8-00111 3.50 THUNDERBOLTS #56 cover by patrick zircher & al vey fabian nicieza/patrick zircher/al vey Graviton is back — and Moonstone is by his side!

Surely they can save the day... right? "Anyone worried about the drop-off in quality with the new storylines and Mark Bagley's departure should feel assuaged by this issue. Another winner in T-Bolt land." - ComicBookGalaxy.com 7-59606-03566-3-05611 2.25 AVENGERS #46 painted cover by ariel olivetti KURT BUSIEK/manuel garcia/bob layton Kang's invasion of Earth is in full swing, but suddenly the Master of the World rises to stop him!

Now, caught between these two warring villains, the squad sends a special Avengers Espionage Team to penetrate the heart of the Master's stronghold!

Great!" - Comics International 7-59606-04458-0-04611 2.25 STARTLING STORIES: BANNER #3 painted cover by richard corben brian azzarello/richard corben What would you do if you knew you were a ticking time bomb?

Atlas is a long, sprawling saga of comics, cartography, and magic, revisiting two landscapes introduced in his first book, Hicksville, the eponymous comics- obsessed town and the mysterious Cornucopia. Along the way, Atlas explores the nature of comics, the politics of the new millennium, the frailty of love, and the secret to mapping the sky. The story follows 70 years in the life of Emil Kopen, from his peasant childhood in the mountains of Cornucopia to the cartooning sweatshops of New York in the late thirties; from the horrors of Nazi occupation, to the hope and disillusionment of postwar Europe. But it is also the story of Kopen's journey to Hicksville and of his struggle to come to terms with his own past and his country's future, as centuries of isolation from the rest of the world give way to economic globalization and market-driven disorder. For Kopen still has one final part to play in determining the political and cultural destiny of Cornucopia. And that country's feared secret police will stop at nothing to prevent him...! MATURE READERS b&w, 80pg $3.95 VERNACULAR DRAWINGS: THE COLLECTED SKETCHBOOK DRAWINGS OF SETH Vernacular Drawings is a sumptuous, full-color, cloth bound coffee table book collecting the drawings of award-winning cartoonist, Seth. A broad range of subject matter is covered in this massive 212-page book; from portraits of early jazz greats and scenes of burlesque shows, to an oddly intriguing gallery of successful insurance salesmen circa 1947. Nothing is out of place in Vernacular Drawings, and this oversized wonder comes just in time for the tenth anniversary celebration of Seth's comic book series, Palookville. And to celebrate the occasion, Seth will embark on a 15 city North American signing tour in September. Available exclusively in this cloth-bound edition, Vernacular Drawings is Seth's first 'non-comics' collection, a lavish, full-color art book that will appeal to aesthetes everywhere!

In Hicksville, world-famous cartoonist Dick Burger has earned millions and become the most powerful man in the comics industry. However, behind his rapid rise to success, there lies a dark and terrible secret, as biographer Leonard Batts discovers when he visits Burger's hometown in remote New Zealand. For Hicksville is no ordinary small town. In Hicksville sheep farmers and fishermen argue the relative merits of early newspaper strips, while in the local bookshop and library, obscure mongolian mini-comics share the shelves with a complete run of Action Comics. But why does everyone there seem to hate Dick Burger? Hicksville collects the main storyline from the Ignatz Award-nominated comic series Pickle, and includes nearly 50 pages of new or revised material.

Now that both the original softcover and hardcover first editions are out of print, Seth has designed an impressive new hardcover for 2000, complete with new dustjackets, and an intricate new cloth design, as well. The original edition won an Ignatz Award for "Best Graphic Album," and was featured in numerous publications, from The New York Times Book Review (listed as one of the top 13 graphic novels) to Details Magazine to The Comics Journal (listed as one of the top 100 comics of the 20th century).

MATURE READERS Magazine, 120pg, b&w $5.95 HEY, WAIT... by Jason One of Europe's most exciting young cartoonists makes his American debut. This superbly evocative graphic novella by the award-winning Norwegian cartoonist Jason (his first appearance in the English language!) starts off as a melancholy childhood memoir and then, with a shocking twist midway through, becomes the summary of lives lived, wasted, and lost. (Imagine a version of Stand By Me in which not all of the kids outrace the train…) Like Art Spiegelman did with Maus, Jason utilizes anthropomorphic stylizations to reach deeper, more general truths, and to create elegantly minimalist panels whose emotional depth charge comes as an even greater shock. His sparse dialogue, dark wit, and supremely bold use of "jump-cuts" from one scene to the next (sometimes spanning a number of years) make Hey, Wait... one of the most surprising and engaging debuts of the year! MATURE READERS SC, 7x10, 64pg, b&w $9.95 LUBA IN AMERICA BOOK ONE TP by Gilbert Hernandez Luba in America, Gilbert Hernandez's first collection since the relaunch of L&R, spotlights the artist's most beloved character, Luba, the central figure of Palomar, the south of the border town that Gilbert documented for 15 years in the original Love & Rockets (1981-1996). In this collection, Luba has moved to America, starting an entirely fresh new chapter in her life. The book begins with Luba traveling to the big city, supposedly having left Palomar to pave the way for her husband to join her in America. We quickly discover, however, that she has a more dire mission. Luba fears that her political history has left a threat to her family from the old country, and she believes that the only way to end this threat lies in America. The resulting action is an awesome blend of political intrigue, sexuality, and Gilbert's characteristically human portrayal of his characters, most notably his women. MATURE READERS SC, 8x11, 224pg, b&w $19.95 COMPLETE PALESTINE TP by Joe Sacco Based on several months of research and an extended visit to the West Bank and the Gaza Strip in the early 1990s (where he conducted over 100 interviews with Palestinians and Jews), Palestine was the first major comics work of political and historical nonfiction by Joe Sacco, whose name has since become synonymous with this graphic form of New Journalism. Palestine has been favorably compared to Art Spiegelman's Pulitzer Prize-winning Maus, for its ability to brilliantly navigate such socially and politically sensitive subject matter within the confines of the comic book medium. This new edition of Palestine also features a new introduction from renowned author, critic, and historian Edward Said (Peace and Its Discontents and The Question of Palestine), one of the world's most respected authorities on the Middle Eastern conflict. MATURE READERS RES. from Previews Vol. XI #3 (MAR12036) SC, 7x10, 288pg, b&w $24.95 SKIN DEEP DELUXE SIGNED HC by Charles Burns Charles Burns is the Harvey Award-winning cartoonist and illustrator whose work became legendary in Art Spiegelman's RAW magazine. Skin Deep is the third (following El Borbah and Big Baby) of a hardcover series of four volumes reprinting his acclaimed oeuvre up to his current magnum opus, the ongoing Black Hole comic book series. Skin Deep includes Burns' popular character, Dog Boy (a red-blooded all-American boy with the transplanted heart of a dog), and the classic strip "Dog Days," in which a hash-slinging vixen wags her tail at our fearful hero. The book also collects "Burn Again," and "A Marriage Made in Hell," tales of doomed romance that set a tone for the rest of Skin Deep. In addition to the work collected, Skin Deep features new covers and endpapers, several pages of new illustrations reprinted from Burns' sketchbooks, as well as covers and other illos from foreign editions of Burns' work that have never previously appeared in the U.S.! HC, 7x10, 96pg, b&w $39.95 TALES OF SHOCK CITY by Gilbert & Mario Hernandez The long-lost "Tales of Somnopolis" created by Gilbert and Mario Hernandez, which originally appeared in the back of the mid-'80s Mister X comic and have never been reprinted since (they did not appear in the Warner book collection, making them the most sought-after Hernandez items ever, out-of-print for well over a decade) are finally collected in one snappy package! Not only does this issue reprint all three original "Somnopolis" stories (slightly re-edited to delete all references to the world of Mister X and integrate them into the world of Love and Rockets), but Gilbert and Mario have pulled out all the stops and added a new cover, back cover, and title page, as well as a brand-new six-page tale — and the entire book is being presented in a striking, newly executed duotone (black and red) format that shows the work off to far better advantage than the original, somewhat murky coloring.

With his army of Dacoit footpads, trained killer apes and poisonous creepy-crawlies, Sax Rohmer's maleficent Devil Doctor held the reading world in thrall for half a century. Fu Manchu's glory years were the '20s and '30s –– that fascinating interval between the two Great Wars. Innocence and ignorance weren't mortal sins then. It was a smaller world, less complex, when houses had attics full of memories and old books, where you could sit and thrill to Tales of Chinatown and The Yellow Claw. If the worldview these fictions portrayed was simplistic and even jingoistic, it was a factor that seldom bothered homebodies of the Great Depression. For them, such remote and unglimpsed locations as China, the South Seas, India, and the jungled lands of Africa and South America existed as mere backdrops to tales of vicarious adventure. This was the circumscribed world in which so-called "Yellow Peril" fiction thrived. The Chinese, or "Chinamen" as most Americans called them, had come to the New World as coolies to supply cheap labor for mining camps and railroads. By the 1870's Asian ghettoized communities emerged in the heart of several cities: claustrophobic shadow worlds of serpentine streets and narrow alleys, soon identified as Chinatowns. While Westerners may have admired Chinese culture and tradition from a distance, our press chose to emphasize the most superficial and sensational aspects of Chinese life up close. Stories of bloody tong wars, opium smuggling, white slavery, hatchetmen, and gambling dens appeared frequently in luridly inventive newspaper accounts. The incorporation of these lip-smacking elements into the stew of pulp fiction proved irresistible.

Here is your opportunity to see all these fantastic femmes brought to life by the science fiction illustrator Ron Miller. And true to the titillating aspects of many of these famous ladies, Miller has drawn most of them au natural, from lovely mermaids to alien ladies on hot planets where clothes are now a necessity. Sergeant describes each one and puts them in the context of history of science fiction, grouped by decade from the pre-1930s to the 1990s.

And so, the humble zombie remains unacknowledged –– until now. The exhumation of zombie films from obscurity is accomplished in terrifying detail in The Zombie Movie Encyclopedia. The first exhaustive overview of the subject, this book evaluates over 200 movies from 16 countries over a 65-year period starting from the early 1930s. It mostly treats feature-length films, covering everything from large studio productions to backyard vintage videography, but also touches on memorable episodes of television series and miscellaneous shorts. Lengthy entries point out interesting or innovative features of zombie portrayal in each movie, while an introduction traces the evolution of the genre and interprets the broader significance of the zombie on contemporary Western mythology. Production credits, a brief plot summary, and alternate titles accompany each entry. (McFarland & Co.)
