Alpha Flight #1, by best-selling authors Greg Pak and Fred Van Lente and artist Dale Eaglesham, hits shelves this week, kicking off the Fear Itself maxi-series spin-off. After the resurrection of their departed team members, the original Alpha Flight are reunited just in time to fight the Fear spreading through their country and the entire world. However, the actions of one of the team's closest allies causes the Fear stricken population to turn against their protectors. Alpha Flight needs everything they've got to survive an entire nation hunting them down. Several other Fear Itself tie-ins are also available this week: Fear Itself: Home Front #3, Fear Itself: Youth in Revolt #2, Avengers #14, Avengers Academy #15, and Invincible Iron Man #505.
DC looks to further explore the world of Flashpoint with several new mini-series and a one-shot focusing on different characters in the new world. First up, we have Flashpoint: Deadman and the Flying Graysons #1 by J.T. Krul and Mikel Janin. Boston Brand and Dick Grayson are back in their original, high-flying element, and you won't want to miss their final performance! Next, we have Flashpoint: Legion of Doom #1 by Adam Glass, Rodney Buchemi, and Jose Marzan, Jr. Cyborg's greatest foe Heat Wave is dead set on revenge, and he will do whatever it takes to take down this world's greatest hero. Finally, don't miss Flashpoint: Wonder Woman and the Furies #1 by Dan Abnett, Andy Lanning, Scott Clark, and David Beaty. You've read about and seen the destruction they have caused, but now really get to know the Wonder Woman of this world and her Furies who will rule the world. Each of these first issues will come with a commemorative pin. Don't forget the Flashpoint: Grodd of War One-Shot by Sean Ryan and Ig Guara and meet the ruler of Africa.
The release of the Green Lantern film draws closer, and this week, readers can pick up Green Lantern, Movie Prequel: Abin Sur by Michael Green and Karl Kerschl. Discover what Abin Sur was doing before his big screen adventure on June 17.
Fans of the runaway, or should I say shambling-away, series Walking Dead will have their hunger satiated this week with the release of Vol. 14 of the trade paperback collections.
These books, and many more, will be available as soon as we open the doors on Wednesday, so come on by! (And if you want to get an idea what else you can expect, check out the covers below!)

New comics for Wednesday, June 8!
Hitting shelves this week, Ghost Rider #0.1 kicks off the new series written by Rob Williams and art by Matthew Clark. During the events of Fear Itself, a mysterious figure surfaces to offer Johnny Blaze what he has always wanted: a chance to no longer be the Ghost Rider. However, will he be able to accept this Faustian pact? The decision he makes will determine the fate of his and everyone in the Marvel Universe's souls. And if he does make this choice, someone will have to take his place, but who will it be? Make sure you check out the end of an era for Blaze and a new direction for the Ghost Rider!
Fear keeps spreading after the events of last week's Fear Itself #3. In Fear Itself: Deadpool #1, like a true business-minded mercenary, Deadpool sees the events of Fear Itself as an opportunity to make some serious cash! Is he one of the worthy? Did he truly receive one of the Serpent's hammers? Perhaps, he just bedazzled a regular hammer. While wise-crackin' Wade does his thing, Man-Thing goes mad as the world is consumed by fear in Fear Itself: Fearsome Four #1; She-Hulk, Nighthawk, Frankenstein, and Howard the Duck join forces to stop him, but in their effort, they too become monsters of fear! Problems for our Marvel heroes don't stop there. Also out this week, Fear Itself: Spider-Man #2 finds Spider-Man fighting to protect the people of New York City from themselves, but to make his job even more difficult, Vermin has popped his vile head into the picture.
In preparation for the new film, DC presents two of five one-shots. Green Lantern Movie Prequel: Kilowog (written by Peter Tomasi and Adam Schlagman) and Green Lantern Prequel: Tomar Re (written by Marc Guggenheim) tell the story of the Kilowog and Tomar Re before the events of the film. Anyone looking forward to the film should give these one-shots a look.
If you're like us, you can not get enough of Flashpoint, and we're in luck this week! First up, we have Flashpoint: Emperor Aquaman #1; no longer the hero we once knew, Aquaman is going to flood the world and rule it! In Flashpoint: Citizen Cold #1, Citizen Cold loves someone he should not, but that surely won't back fire on him. Will it? Then, in Flashpoint: Frankenstein and the Creatures of the Unknown, a group of monsters must find their maker to survive. And last but not least, in Flashpoint: Deathstroke, The Curse of Ravager #1, the dreaded pirate Deathstroke will stop at nothing until he recovers his lost treasure. Don't forget! All of these issues come with an exclusive free pin when purchased!
The new miniseries American Vampire: Survival of the Fittest #1 comes to you this week by the ongoing series' writer Scott Snyder and artist Sean Murphy. Vampire hunters Felicia Book and Cash McCogan go behind enemy lines in Nazi-occupied Romania to discover a rumored vampire cure with the help of the secret organization Vassals of the Morningstar. However, their history with Skinner Sweet is about to make the mission even more difficult than imagined. Fans of the regular series will not want to miss this.
Also keep your eye out for the next chapter in the 'Death of Spider-Man' this week in Ultimate Spider-Man #159!

Get here in a flash for new comics this Wednesday, May 11!
This week, Geoff Johns and Andy Kubert bring readers DC's next big event in Flashpoint #1! Waking up at his desk, Barry Allen finds himself in a world rushing towards a cataclysmic war, but that isn't the only problem. Everyone is different. Friends and family once dead are alive while some are now gone. The heroes everyone knows have changed. Cyborg has become America's last hope, and he is trying to gather the likes of The Outsiders, The Secret 7, S!H!A!Z!A!M!, Citizen Cold, and others! If Flash doesn't find out who altered the timeline, it could mean the end of the world. Expect to see some very familiar faces like you never have before. Before you read Flashpoint, make sure you pick up Flash #12, which is also out this week. This issue concludes "The Road to Flashpoint" and leads directly into issue 1 of Flashpoint.
Fear Itself: Youth in Revolt #1 continues the wave of Fear rolling over the Marvel universe. Written by Sean McKeever with art by Mike Norton, Youth in Revolt finds the world still in the grip of the god of Fear, and the remaining members of the Initiative program are being sworn in as federal agents to help keep a semblance of normalcy. However, everything doesn't go as planned, and these young heroes may soon be dealing with their own civil war.
Batman: Arkham City #1, by Paul Dini and artist Carlos D'Anda, bridges the gap between hit games Batman: Arkham Asylum and the forthcoming Batman: Arkham City game. After stopping Joker's take over of Arkham, Batman is trying to return Gotham to a state of normalcy. However, the Dark Knight doesn't get a break as Gotham is targeted by two super-powered twins, which forces Gotham's new mayor to take drastic measures. Also out this week, Grant Morrison's Batman Incorporated #6 continues its globetrotting story.
