With summer in full blaze, the House of Ideas turns up the heat on some of your favorite Marvel heroes this June! Between a certain Skrull invasion and a gamma-irradiated blockbuster smashing its way to the big screen, green seems to be the color du jour... but don't think that means we've forgotten everyone else! For the full list, head over to the
June catalog!
For two years, Ms. Marvel's insecurities have plagued her every step. But now, with the "Secret Invasion" in full swing and the battle for Manhattan raging on, she must put every last one of them aside in order to push back the invading Skrull forces and save the island she calls home in MS. MARVEL #28! Plus, we just look for any opportunity to showcase awesome Greg Horn cover art.
Meanwhile, the invasion brings two groups of titanic teens together once more in SECRET INVASION: RUNAWAYS/YOUNG AVENGERS #1. You ever notice both teams just
happen to have a Skrull on their rosters? Well, it figures that some other people have as well, and that can only spell trouble for our favorite turbulent teens.
Jack Kirby's Eternals return in their own ongoing series, with co-writer Daniel and Charlie Knauf plus artist Daniel Acuna picking up the threads from the smash-hit 2006 limited series by Neil Gaiman! With a giant Celestial standing in judgment of all humanity in Golden Gate Park, the Eternals must stave off his eventual ruling and keep him from destroying the world. And you thought your problems were bad…
"Team CIVIL WAR" reunites with WOLVERINE #66! Writer Mark Millar and artist Steve McNiven kick off "Old Man Logan," a story taking a look at the future of our favorite Canucklehead…and a rather bleak future, at that! With Earth's heroes gone, evil has triumphed. 50 years since the night the heroes disappeared, an old man known only as Logan enters the spotlight to help an old friend, and maybe kick some villain tuchas in the meantime!
Wait a minute, why in heck are there two Caps on this cover? And doesn't the one look an awful lot like the original Captain America?! Y'know, the dead one?!! Yep, he certainly does. What's that? You're tired of rhetorical questions and want some answers? Then check out CAPTAIN AMERICA #39 for one doozy of a confrontation, folks, 'cause you ain't getting any more info out of us!
And speaking of Captain America reappearing, AVENGERS/INVADERS #2 continues the team-up 60 years in the making. The Invaders, America's premier line of defense during World War II, find themselves displaced in the present and the Avengers must bring them in before anyone hears about this! But what would happen if the WWII heroes were to discover their future fates? Earth's Mightiest Heroes don't want to find out, so get ready for the battle of the century, True Believer!
Who orchestrated the breakout on the Raft waaay back in NEW AVENGERS #1, and what does that have to do with the Skrulls' invasion? The answers you've longed for start appearing, so expect the unexpected! All this, plus the artwork of Jim Cheung to boot, makes NEW AVENGERS #42 a can't-miss for any devotee of intrigue, action and Skrugly invaders.
If you need even more answers to sate your ravenous gullet, look no further than AVENGERS: THE INITIATIVE #14! The infiltration of Camp Hammond has succeeded, but no one knows how deep it goes. If that cover proves any indication, however, Yellowjacket might have a little bit of explaining to do.
The second part of the millennia-spanning THOR: AGES OF THUNDER comes booming to shelves with "Reign of Blood." Taking a look at Thor's present, this one-shot continues to look at Thor's evolution as an Asgardian god, reborn with every new Ragnarok to experience the world anew. Matt Fraction and Patrick Zircher bring you a vision of Thor too epic for a blurb this short to do justice, so pick up the book already and experience it for yourself!
So, we don't know if you've heard, but the Hulk kind of has a movie coming out June 13. And to celebrate, we've got more Hulk books than you can shake a gamma-irradiated fist at! First up, Hulk's son makes his debut with SKAAR: SON OF HULK #1, written by WORLD WAR HULK scribe Greg Pak and drawn by the inimitable Ron Garney! Meanwhile, Bruce Banner's lovable cousin, Jennifer Walters, runs into a few problems of the godly variety when Hercules guest-stars in SHE-HULK #30. And speaking of Hercules, the irascible deity must face off against the Skrulls' gods in THE INCREDIBLE HERCULES #118. Finally, the emerald anti-hero himself tackles the warrior known as Thundra in HULK: RAGING THUNDER #1!
