Marvel's biggest event in ages is underway, and this week's release of Thanos Rising #5 by Jason Arron and Simon Bianchi further sets the stage for Thanos' return to the Marvel Universe. If you haven't read this series, it's offered an enlightening look at the life of Thanos and is worth reading. Further galactic adventure can be had in Captain Marvel #15 by Kelly Sue Deconnick and Joe Quinones. Find out what happened after Captain Marvel and Hawkeye's capture, and Binary returns! Then, the Illuminati is the Earth's front line of defense as their planet is invaded; plus, Black Bolt's kingdom begins to crumble in New Avengers #9 by Jonathan Hickman and Mike Deodato. Other notable titles this week include Uncanny Avengers #11, Uncanny X-Men #11 and Wolverine and X-Men #35.
After the events of Grant Morrison's last issue of Batman Incorporated, what has become of Batman's international army? This Wednesday brings the answer in Batman Incorporated Special #1 by some of the industry's best writers and artists: Chris Burnham, Joe Keatinge and Jason Masters. Read stories about Man-of-Bats, Red Raven, El Gaucho, Dark Ranger, Knight, the Bat himself and others. Of course, the biggest debut comes in the form of Bat-Cow's solo debut in a story written by Dan Didio and art by Ethan Van Sciver. DC has another anthology on shelves this week in the form of the American Vampire Anthology #1 from their Vertigo imprint, featuring eight bloody tales told in the world of American Vampire. Creators featured in this book include the series creators Scott Snydar and Rafael Albuquerque, Jeff Lemire, Becky Cloonan, Greg Rucka, Gabriel Ba, Fabio Moon, Gail Simone and more. Another worthwhile Vertigo title this week is FBP: Federal Bureau of Physics #2 (formerly known as Collider) by Simon Oliver and Robbi Rodriguez. People from our world are stuck in a "Bubbleverse"--a pocket universe on top of ours--and FBP agents Adam and Jay must go in to rescue them. Don't forget to pick up the sixth chapter of 'Trinity War' in Justice League #23 by Geoff Johns, Ivan Reis and Joe Prado.
Dark Horse Comics presents the new series Itty Bitty Hellboy #1 by Art Baltazar and Franco (creators of Tiny Titans, Superman Family Adventures and Aw Yeah Comics). This new all ages comic reimagines Mike Mignola's beloved characters as itty bitty versions of themselves. Hellboy and his B.P.R.D. teammates are after a ghost named Rasputin and aim to find out what he is after. Also, find out how chicken soup ties in to all of this!
Check the list below to see other great books releasing this Wednesday, August 28. The staff of Dr. No's looks forward to seeing you when the store opens at 11 a.m.
