Welcome back to an X-tremely X-citing week in comics!
The X-Women are here:
The X-Women finally get their own book when Storm steps up and puts together a team to stop a new threat that could destroy all life on earth! X-Men #1 stars Marvel’s fabulous X-Women, by Brian Wood and Olivier Coipel. There are multiple covers to mark this momentous moment, by Milo Manara, Joe Madureira, Olivier Coipel, Terry Dodson, Skottie Young, and don’t forget the magnificent Midtown exclusive J. Scott Campbell variant cover!
It’s international Hulk week:
Mark Waid and Walt Simonson conclude “Gods and Monster” in Indestructible Hulk #8, as the Frost Giants prepare to invade Earth, and Hulk and Thor are helpless to stop them! The Hulk is angry as ever, and makes an appearance in Avenging Spider-Man #21 by Christopher Yost, Marco Checchetto, and Paolo Rivera (oh, and Spidey’s in the book too, and in big trouble with SHIELD). Dinosaurs aren’t the only green giants roaming the Savage Land jungles in Savage Wolverine #5 by Frank Cho. As the dust settles, the secrets of the Forbidden Island stand revealed!
