Johns and Frank join forces for Batman Earth One this Wednesday, July 4

Happy Fourth of July week from all of us at Dr. No's Comics and Games! We wanted to let everyone know that books will be available when we open our doors on Wednesday, and we will be open regular hours (11am-8pm) the entire day!

In October of 2010, DC launched its Earth One line of original graphic novels with Superman: Earth One by J. Michael Straczynski and artist Shane Davis. The book was praised by fans and critics alike, and since then, readers have been clamoring for an Earth One book starring Batman. DC were not ones to disappoint, confirming that there would indeed be one starring The Dark Knight, and the critically acclaimed team of Geoff Johns and Gary Frank (previous works include Superman: Secret Origin and the Shazam! backup story from the current Justice League series) would be bringing the book to life. At last, the wait is over! Batman Earth One is out this Wednesday! Witness the birth of the Batman like you have never seen it before. Johns and Frank didn't want to change the core of what made Batman who he is, but rest assured, while the events may seem familiar, that is about it. See a young man transform from orphan to vigilante and witness his first year as The Dark Knight. This book is sure to be a hit, so do not miss it.

DC's other big book this week is Before Watchmen Ozymandias #1 by Len Wein and Jae Lee. The original bad guy of the Watchmen is getting the origin treatment, and, unlike the other series, this book starts at the birth of a hero and shows his epic rise to who he was in the original story. If that isn't enough from DC, the new He-Man and the Masters of the Universe #1 debuts this week by James Robinson and artist Phillip Tan. Skeletor has rewritten Eternia's history, and He-Man is not part of it. But a young woodsman named Adam begins having dreams of a past life full of glory and sets out to discover the truth of these dreams.

Marvel's main event continues its second act this week in Avengers vs. X-Men #7! After last week's shocking last words uttered by Cyclops, "No More Avengers," you will not want to miss this issue. Everything is going to change. Then in this week's AvX tie-in Uncanny X-Men #15, the X-Men take on Sinister and his sinister force! Want even more mutant action? Marvel has it!

Wolverine and Sabertooth had their final face-off nearly five years ago in Wolverine: Evolution. Or did they? This week, Wolverine #310 by Jeph Loeb and Simone Bianchi kicks off the long awaited sequel to the original story. Find out how Sabertooth survived the killing blow Wolverine dealt him long ago. A quick note, some readers may think they missed Wolverine #309, but don't worry, it hasn't actually come out yet!
