Some uncanny new comics this Wednesday, February 13


Mutantkind has started its crawl back from the brink of extinction in the Marvel Universe, and former poster-boy of the Charles Xavier Institute for Higher Learning, Cyclops, has made it his mission to form the next generation of X-Men in Uncanny X-Men #1 by Brian Michael Bendis and Chris Bachalo. In the wake of the events of Avengers vs X-Men, Cyclops has Xavier's blood on his hands, but he has not given up on his former friend and teacher's dream. Joined by Emma Frost, Magneto, and Magik, Scott sets out to gather the newly awakened mutants to his side before anyone else can get them. However, will a group of mutants labeled as terrorists and unable to control their new powers be able to prove they aren't the monsters they seem? Marvel's other new team book this week is Secret Avengers #1 by Nick Spencer and Luke Ross. The new Nick Fury is tasked with forming a team of Avengers that can take on missions so dangerous and off-the-record that they don't even know what they are. Members of the new team include fan favorite Hawk Eye, Phil Coulson, Maria Hill, Black Widow, The Hulk, a new Iron Patriot, and more! Other notable titles this week include Avengers Arena #4, Avengers Assemble #12, Wolverine and the X-Men #25, and more.

Bendis and Michael Avon Oeming welcome back their Eisner Award-winning series with Powers Bureau #1. Deena Pilgrim moved from lowly street cop to a Homicide Detective in the Powers department, and now, she is moving up to the FBI! Dealing with some of the biggest power cases in the country, Deena will also have to come to terms with her past that just won't stay behind her. What about her old partner Christian Walker? You'll have to read and find out! Fans of the original series will love the new direction, while new readers will find this issue to be a great jumping on point.

The shocking conclusion to 'Death of the Family' is here! The Joker and Batman face off one last time in Batman #17 by Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo. Are you ready to find out what Joker had under the covered dish? Who will live? Who will die? This is going to be big. Then, Barbara Gordon deals with the aftermath in Batgirl #17 by Gail Simone and Ed Benes; plus, James Gordon Jr. is back in town, and he has plans for his sister. In Batman and Robin #17 by Peter J. Tomasi and Patrick Gleason, Gotham City is about to celebrate its 300th anniversary, and the Dynamic Duo must be prepared for the who's who of Batman's rogues gallery to make an appearance. Direct from the pages of Birds of Prey and the forthcoming Justice League of America (in stores February 20), don't miss Katana #1 by Ann Nocenti and Alex Sanchez.  Katana, a former assassin, is on a personal quest to restore the Outsiders team to its former glory, but before she does, she must overcome the power of her sword, the Soultaker. Also from DC this week: Before Watchmen Comedian #5, Django Unchained #2, Suicide Squad #17, and several other great New 52 titles.

After selling out of its first issue in no time, Brian Wood's Star Wars #2 continues the story that takes place between A New Hope and Empire Strikes Back. Princess Leia suspects there is a spy in the Rebels' ranks, so she forms a 'stealth squadron' to expose the traitor. Elsewhere, Han Solo and Chewbacca run into their old friend Boba Fett, and Darth Vader receives a secret mission from the Emperor. If you missed it the first time, Star Wars #1's Second Printing is also out this week.

Anyone looking for more Walking Dead after Sunday's television premiere will be happy to know Walking Dead #107 and Walking Dead: The Governor Special are both out this Wednesday.

All of the great, new titles featured above and those listed below are available Wednesday, February 13 as soon as Dr. No's Comics and Games opens at 11am. We look forward to seeing you!
