Captain Marvel returns this Wednesday, July 18

Marvel Universe's Carol Danvers has gone by several names: Warbird, Binary, and Ms. Marvel. This week, she adds another name to the list and uniform in the closet in Captain Marvel #1 by writer Kelly Sue DeConnick and up-and-coming artist Dexter Soy. With her new name and costume (invoking the original Captain Marvel's costume), comes a new mission and enough power to get her into trouble. DeConnick describes the new Danvers Captain Marvel as a Chuck Yeager like daredevil/ace pilot ready to take on anything standing in her way. And don't worry, readers that are new to Ms. Marvel (or any of her previous aliases) will be able to jump right into this new series without feeling lost. The new series is sure to please long-time Carol Danver fans as well! No one will want to miss this great new book. For more of the new Captain Marvel, pick up last weeks Avenging Spider-Man #9.

Jenna's ward and younger brother Denny is a genius. Denny has a special condition. If there is a problem, he will solve it. He has no choice. It is that unique ability that leads to both Jenna and Denny finding themselves in a magical land fueled by math in Finding Gossamyr #1 by David Rodriguez and artist Sarah Ellerton. After checking him into a school for the gifted, Denny is presented with a equation that is unsolvable, or it was until he came along. The equation is the key to Gossamyr, a land with a rich history, unique people, and magic. In Gossamyr, Denny is able to come into his own and be more than just a quite, weird kid. Fans of classic tales like Wizard of Oz and Alice in Wonderland will want to give this great all-ages comic a look.

Round Eight of Avengers vs X-Men hits shelves this week. Namor, fueled by the Phoenix Force, is out of control, and his rage filled quest to capture the Avengers leads him to invade the sovereign nation of Wakanda. If that isn't bad enough, a shocking truth comes to light that threatens to destroy an already uneasy alliance among the X-Men. In the AvX tie-in Uncanny X-Men #16, the X-Men make their move against Sinister and his sinister Forces. For even more action, check out the tie-in book Avengers Academy #33. A group of X-Men come knocking, and they are calling out the school's Sentinel. Of course, Marvel has some of its other great titles out this week including Daredevil #15, Fantastic Four #608, Wolverine #309 (the issue that everyone thought they missed!), X-Factor #240, and Untold Tales of Punisher Max #2.

DC's big event continues with Before Watchmen Silk Spectre #2 by Darwyn Cooke and Amanda Conner. Laurie is setting out on her own to begin a journey that will eventually take her back to what she is running from. Also in this issue, the Crimson Corsair backup feature by Len Wein and John Higgins continues! And don't forget to pick up this weeks release of New 52 titles that include great books like Justice League #11, DC Universe Presents #11, Red Hood and the Outlaws #11, and Catwoman #11.

A few other books of note include Brian K. Vaughan's Saga #5 from Image Comics, which has become a favorite of many readers, IDW's Mars Attacks #2, BOOM!'s Adventure Time #6, and many more wonderful books that can be seen in the list below! All of us here at Dr. No's Comics and Games look forward to seeing you Wednesday!
