Kiss your week goodbye! New comics are here Wednesday, August 1

Famed comics creator Howard Chaykin returns to the hardboiled, black and white world of sex and violence in Black Kiss II #1. While the original series followed the trail of a vampire cult in 1980s Los Angeles, Chaykin decides to go back to early 20th century New York City in this follow up series to look at what started it all. It is a time of change, and all of the filth and horribleness of the city threatens to come to a boiling point. This series is not for the faint of heart or young of age, but if you are looking for an off the beaten path story, then this may be your book. If you missed it, the original Black Kiss is available in trade.

Marvel has a few great titles lined up for fans this week! First up, the epic battle between former friends and teammates continues in  Avengers vs X-Men #9 by Jason Aaron and Adam Kubert. The Phoenix Force Five have made a significant impact on the Avenger's numbers, so the remaining members of Earth's Mightiest Heroes decided to stage a daring assault on the X-Men's prison. Meanwhile, the true nature of the Phoenix begins to make itself known.

Readers are about to find out just how crazy Deadpool is in Marvel's newest miniseries Deadpool Kills The Marvel Universe #1 by Cullen Bunn and Dalibor Talajic. Things quickly go from funny to down right disturbing when the Merc with a Mouth decides to kill the Marvel Universe. And when Deadpool sets his twisted sights on the Universe, he means everything and everyone. Sit back, buckle up, and get ready! Bullets, knives, and one-liners are about to start flying. While the Marvel U recovers from Deadpool's destruction, why don't you kick back and celebrate 50 years of web-slinging with Peter Parker, Spider-Man #156.1. Writer Roger Stern and artist Roberto De La Torre bring readers a brand new story that feels like it picks up where the series left off. Fans of the DC Retroactive series will want to give this book a try.

The moment DC fans have been waiting for is finally here! The prelude to 'Rotworld' begins in Animal Man #12 and Swamp Thing #12 co-written by Jeff Lemire and Scott Snyder. Buddy Baker and Dr. Alec Holland venture into the Rot to stop the evil force that has been haunting both of them, and for new readers, the events of the last year will be recapped! Now there is no reason you shouldn't be reading these awesome books!

Those aren't the only great DC titles out this week. Before Watchmen Nite Owl # 2 by Michael J. Straczynski and Andy Kubert continues the tale of the newest Nite Owl's early days, and stay for the Crimson Corsair backup story by Len Wein and John Higgins. A couple of other wonderful reads to look out for this week include Earth 2 #4 by James Robinson, Nicola Scott, and Trever Scott (witness the debut of the all-new Atom Smasher!) and Justice League International #12 by Dan Jurgens, Aaron Lopresti, and Matt Ryan (you won't want to miss this final issue).

Have you been reading Matt Kindt's Mind MGMT from Dark Horse Comics? Yes? Great, you know how awesome it is, and you'll be happy to know the third issue is out this Wednesday. And if you haven't, you should be happy to know you only have a couple of issues to get and be caught up! This issue, Meru's investigation becomes increasingly weird as she encounters the psychic espionage agency Mind MGMT's 'miracle dolphins' and discovers the leads she's been following have been purposely left for her.



All of the books listed above on those below will be available when Dr. No's Comics and Games opens its doors at 11:00 am Wednesday. We look forward to seeing you!
