Grab some x-treme new comics this Wednesday, July 23

This Wednesday, Marvel launches the new X-treme X-Men #1 by writer Greg Pak and artist Stephen Segovia. Pak is taking on the Marvel Multiverse in his new book starring Captain Howlett (an alternate universe Wolverine), Kid Nightcrawler (the kid version of the fuzzy elf), Emmeline Frost (I bet you can guess this one), and Marvel U's Dazzler. Readers first met these characters during Pak's run on Astonishing X-Men. While not a direct follow up to the long running Exiles, fans of that series will want to check out the dimension hoping adventures of this crew of interesting characters. And Pak promises that the X-treme in the title will truly stand for extreme in the story. No character or reality is safe. And because I mentioned the series early, don't forget to pick up Astonishing X-Men #52 by Marjorie Lie and Mike Perkins. Of course, there are also some Avengers vs X-Men tie-ins that include Avengers #28, Wolverine and the X-Men #14, and X-Men Legacy #120.

Whether you're a fan of IDW's current Transformers comic line, the original cartoon, or even the films, make sure to check out the new original graphic novel Transformers: Autocracy by writer Chris Metzen and artist Livio Ramendelli. In the early days of what was called the Great War, Optimus Prime was just Orion Pax and a new terrorist group known as the Decepticons were beginning to sow discontent among Cybertron. This new threat to the bots of Cybertron quickly takes over the city-state Kaon. Orion must lead a team of Transformers to stop the terrorist actions of the new group, and, along the way, they will all learn what it means to be an Autobot.

Darth Maul was thought dead after his fateful duel with Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn, but the galaxy is about to discover it is hard to keep a Sith Lord down in Dark Horse's new series Star Wars: Darth Maul, Death Sentence #1 by Tom Taylor and Bruno Redondo. Maul has teamed up with his brother Savage Opress to leave a trail of destruction through the Outer Rim as they are tracked down by the Jedi. That destruction leads to a price being put on their head that no one will be able to resist, including an army of mercenaries. The brothers decide the best (and most fun) way to deal with trouble is to face it head on. Speaking of people thought dead, Star Wars: Blood Ties, Boba Fett is Dead #4 wraps up the miniseries that fans have been loving.

Top Shelf presents Jeff Lemire's newest original graphic novel Underwater Welder! Many readers know writer/artist Jeff Lemire from his recent DC comics work on Frankenstein, Agent of Shade, Animal Man, and Justice League Dark or his amazing original stories like Essex County and Sweet Tooth. Lemire's latest work follows soon to be father Jack Joseph, an underwater welder off the coast of Nova Scotia. Being deep under the sea, Jack has gotten used to the pressure of his work, but it is nothing compared to what he is experiencing as a soon to be father. Wanting to escape all of his worries, Jack dives deeper and deeper until one day he has an encounter at the ocean floor that will change his life forever.

DC's Before Watchmen summer event continues with Before Watchmen: Comedian #2; after the events of last issue, where does the Comedian's faith lay? Then stick around for the Crimson Corsair backup feature by Len Wein and John Higgins. And don't forget to find all of your favorite DC New 52 titles like All Star Western #11, Aquaman #11, Batman Incorporated #3, Green Lantern #11, Teen Titans #11, and many others.

Readers can also look forward to Mark Millar and John Romita Jr.'s Hit-Girl #2, the story that takes place between Kick-Ass 1 & 2. All of the previously mentioned books and those listed below are available this Wednesday! The Dr. No's staff looks forward to seeing you.
