Alan Moore and Kevin O'Neill's League of Extraordinary Gentlemen III: Century: 1969 finally reaches store shelves this week! The year is 1969 and the place is London, but the times have changed in the sixty years since we last heard from Mina Murray and her league. Tadukic Acid Diethylamide 26 is the drug of choice putting London into its psychedelic daze. The same magic order the League investigated in 1910 is back, but now Mina and crew must traverse London's hippie and criminal subculture along with its occultists to stop the Moonchild that may turn out to be the Anti-Christ! Fans of Moore should also take a peak at Alan Moore: Storyteller by Gary Spencer Millidge with a forward by Michael Moorcock. This lovingly crafted book surveys Moore's work from some of his most best selling titles to his rarely seen or heard experimental projects. Storyteller comes with an audio CD featuring excerpts from some of Moore's multimedia pieces.
The Spider-Event of the decade starts now in Amazing Spider-Man #666 by Dan Slott and Stefano Caselli! New York is infested but not with your average bugs; the unsuspecting people of Manhattan are getting Spider-Powers! However, not everyone was lucky enough to have an Uncle Ben to teach them the old adage about power and responsibility. Did we mention that all the heroes and villains are crawling all over the city as well? Well, they are, and Peter Parker's life is never going to be the same after this!

New beginnings in comics on Wednesday, July 13
X-Men: Schism #1 (written by Jason Aarron and art by Carlos Pacheco), the most important X-Men event of the decade, releases Wednesday and aims to set the stage for X-books in the coming years. With their decreased population, times have never been more uncertain and dangerous for mutants than they are now. Humanity, despite the X-Men's best effort, still refuses to trust the mutant race, and anti-mutant fear and hatred only grows after a mutant-triggered international incident occurs. However, when mutant kind needs them the most, a split begins to form between two factions within the X-Men, threatening to destroy their entire foundation. Schism is the perfect starting place for new readers wanting to take a step into the X-Men universe. Each issue in this five part story will feature Jason Aarron teaming up with some of the industry's top artists.
Written by Ed Brubaker with art by Steve McNiven, Captain America #1 spins out of the shocking events in Fear Itself. After the lose of Bucky Barnes, a nation is left without a Captain America, so Steve Rogers must take up the mantle once again to lead the good fight. During the funeral of his friend, successor, and sidekick, a mysterious figure from Captain America's past returns with murder on his agenda. This return also uncovers shocking secrets from Roger's past and threatens to affect everyone he loves. Brubaker aims to give new and old readers alike one of the best Captain America stories to date.
Ultimate Comics: Fallout #1, by Brian Bendis and art by Mark Bagley and others, finds everyone in shock after the death of Peter Parker, Spider-Man. Fallout sets the stage for Marvel's three new core Ultimate titles: Spider-Man, Ultimates, and X-Men. The new standard for the Marvel Ultimate Universe begins here! Also this week, keep an eye on the shelves for Ultimate Comics: Avengers vs New Ultimates #6.
Ghost Rider #1 roars onto shelves this week by the writer/artist team of Rob Williams and Matthew Clark. Johnny Blaze was given the chance to be rid of his curse, and he took it. However, the new host of the Ghost Rider is here and wants to cleanse the earth of its filth. Blaze has no idea what he has released upon the world! For those following Fear Itself, this issue is a tie-in.
Don't worry, DC has some books coming out this week too! Flashpoint: Citizen Cold #2; Deathstroke, The Curse of Ravager #2; Emperor Aquaman #2; and Frankenstein, Creatures of the Unknown #2 are out, and the sold out Flashpoint: Batman, Knight of Vengeance #1 returns with a second printing.

Never fear! New comics are here for Wednesday, July 6!
I hope everyone had a wonderful and safe fourth of July! A quick note, comics will NOT be delayed this week because of the holiday. The books will be on shelves this Wednesday, July 6 when the doors open at 11 a.m.
Two of the Marvel universe's favorite clawed heroes return in James Palmiotti and Joseph Michael Linsner's Wolverine and Black Cat: Claws 2 #1! Picking up right where the first series left off, Black Cat and Wolverine have barely had a chance to relax from their encounter with Arcade and White Rabbit before it starts all over again. After the two villains escape their exile in The Savage Land, Wolverine and Black Cat are back on their trails, and we are sure to get a great no-holds barred battle between the four in this new Claws Adventure.
Magneto has reformed and join the X-Men, but when he goes to save a young mutant in trouble, he accidentally sets off a series of events that will explore the evil of the Marvel universe like never before in Vengeance #1 by Joe Casey and Nick Dragotta. Find out who the new Teen Brigade is and what the Brotherhood wants with the Young Masters of Evil! If that isn't enough, the Red Skull is somehow pulling the strings from beyond the grave. Evil is afoot, and vengeance is not far behind.
DC's Flashpoint #3 hits shelves this week, and I know I can't wait to see what happens after the shocking ending of the last issue.
