Thanos returns in Infinity #1 this Wednesday, August 14




This Wednesday, Marvel Comics kicks off the biggest event of the year in the huge 64-page Infinity #1 by celebrated writer Jonathan Hickman and artist Jim Cheung. After Thanos' appearance at the end of the hit Avengers film, new and old fans alike have been clamoring for more of the Mad Titan. Well, wait no longer because this marks his amazing return to current Marvel continuity. This is the story Hickman has been molding since the launch of the Marvel NOW! Avengers and New Avengers. Everything you've read has been in service of this huge, galactic event. The Marvel Universe will never be the same as war breaks out on two fronts: Earth and Space. Heroes will unite across worlds to stand against the coming threat. Will you be there to witness it? Other notable titles this week include Superior Spider-Man Team-Up #2, Wolverine #8 and Thor: God of Thunder #11.

DC is business as usual this week, but that doesn't mean you should ignore some of these great reads. In Batman #23 by Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo, the 'Year Zero' storyline makes history as the moment Bruce Wayne becomes Batman is revealed. If that isn't enough Batman, try these other Bat-Family books out this Wednesday: Batgirl #23, Batman: Arkham Unhinged #17, Batman: Li'l Gotham #5 and Nigthwing #23. Then, 'Trinity War' chapter 4 picks up in Justice League of America #7 by Geoff Johns, Jeff Lemire, Doug Mahnke and Christian Alamy. Superman and his new team discover the secret behind the Secret Society of Villains as they search for a murder suspect. Meanwhile, Batman uncovers something that will change one of the Leaguers' life, and the Secret Society's plans for Pandora are revealed. 

Fans of the hugely successful Halo video game franchise should be happy to hear Dark Horse's new series, Halo Initiation #1, premieres this week. Written by veteran comics author and 343 Industries' Halo franchise writer Brian Reed with art by Marco Castiello, this new series follows the early career of Sarah Palmer. Before she was defending humanity's existence in the Spartan IV program, she was an Orbital Drop Shock Trooper (ODST) carrying out one of the most dangerous missions of her career. Go behind enemy lines with ODST Sarah Palmer this Wednesday.

After a several month break, Brian K Vaughan and Fiona Staples' hit series Saga returns with issue 13 from Image Comics. As all parties recover from the events of the last storyline, baby Hazel and her parents head for Quietus, home of the romance novelist D. Oswald Heist. Will Heist be able to provide them the answers they are looking for? If you've never read this series before, now is a great time to pick up the first two volumes of the trade paperbacks that catch you up to this week's new issue.

Check the list below to see other great books releasing this Wednesday, August 14. The staff of Dr. No's looks forward to seeing you when the store opens at 11 a.m.
