The battle between Avengers and X-Men begins this Wednesday, March 28

Marvel's biggest comic event is finally here! But before the battle begins, Avengers vs. X-Men #0 aims to set the stage for everything to come. Brian Michael Bendis, Jason Aaron, and Frank Cho--three of the industry's biggest creators--join forces to set up the Scarlet Witch and Hope's roles in the forthcoming battle. Is the return of the Scarlet Witch a good thing? What will Hope do as the Mutant Messiah? Did someone mention the Phoenix? Find out in this issue, and prepare for war! Also, it bears repeating, with names like Bendis, Aaron, and Cho, you can't go wrong. For those looking for more from these two teams, check out Avengers #24.1, Uncanny X-Force #23, X-Men Legacy #264.


I want to let everyone know that next Tuesday, April 3rd, Avengers vs. X-Men #1 will be available a day early for our customers. If you come in that Tuesday night from 8:00pm to 8:30pm, we will be selling issue one to everyone who wants to get a head start on this game changing book. And if that isn't enough, anyone who purchases a copy of the book that night can choose one free X-Men or Avengers backstock title from a specially chosen selection. Now back to our regularly scheduled new release blog!


Zombies and vampires are in everything, but that doesn't mean you should dismiss a new book just they are on the cover. Writer Dan Abnett and artist I. N. J. Culbard aim to turn a new page in the storybook of zeds and vamps with New Deadwardians #1 from Vertigo. The time is post-Victorian England. Our protagonist is Chief Inspector George Suttle, who's just been assigned to one of the slowest beats there is: investigating murders. But when has murder ever been slow? Well, in this world, everyone is already dead. Almost the entirety of the upper class has become a vampire, by their own choice, to avoid the lower classes inhabited by zombies. Suttle's job takes a turn for the interesting when a young aristocrat's body is found and the investigation leads him from the filthiest sewers to the halls of power. Of course, some of society's darkest secrets may be dredged up as well. You won't want to miss this unique new tale.


There are more zombies to be had, and you can't go wrong with the best there is: The Walking Dead #95 by Robert Kirkman and Charlie Adlard.
