In ‘Abe Sapien: Dark & Terrible’ #2, Abe Sapien battles his way through terrible Ogdru Hem and human monsters as the world comes crashing down around him, on his quest to reveal his own role in the end of the world.

We are faceless. We are limitless. We see all. And we do not forgive. Finally, there is a force, a citizen’s army, to push order BACK. Let those who abuse the system know this as well: there is a new breed of super humans now. They are not afraid of your badges or Leagues. And they will not be silenced in ‘The Movement’ #1 from Gail Simone.

Heroes are dying, and cops are dying twofold. Humanity is underpowered in the face of their onslaught, and people are suffering untold casualties trying to stem the flow. After barely surviving a super-powered bank heist gone horribly wrong, beat cop Leo Winters vowed to try and find a way to stop them. Following a lead, he discovered two lowlifes who seemed to be able to grant a person powers…for the right price. Thing is: you don’t get to choose which power. It’s seemingly random, a crap-shoot, a risk. Will Leo decide to take that risk? Find out in ‘Suicide Risk’ #1!

Cecil Steadman’s bargain with Mr. Liu has taken a turn for the worst – and now the greatest heroes of the Invincible Universe must defeat the dragon unleashed! But who will pay the cost for Cecil’s choice? You’ll have to pick up ‘Invincible Universe’ #2 to find out.

Joe Fitzgerald was a mob enforcer until the day he met Laura, who convinced him to leave that world behind.  Before quitting, Joe agreed to one last job, little realizing that the man he’d been sent to kill was deeply involved in demonology.  He survived Joe’s attempt and came after him, fatally wounding Joe and killing Laura.  As he lay dying, an angelic force (who may or may not be what she appears) pointed out that where she is going, he can’t follow, and where he is going, he wouldn’t want her to follow.  But if he will agree to work for them as a different kind of enforcer, they will bring him to life and keep on bringing him to life every time he is killed in a righteous cause.  The reward: for those five minutes of death, he will be with Laura again.  Would you endure an eternity of pain and death, dying over and over, to be with the woman you love for just five minutes each time you died?  Most people might say no.  But Joe Fitzgerald isn’t most people. ‘Ten Grand’ #1 is the new book from J. Michael Straczynski.

With a new Iron Man movie hitting theaters stateside this week, what better time for ‘The Secret Origin Of Tony Stark’?  Death’s Head and Iron Man team-up to hunt down a genocidal criminal. Not the problem. A shipful of dead badoon. Not the problem. What Tony finds in the depths of that ship: the problem. Big problem. ‘Iron Man’ #9 NOW is the lead into the biggest Tony Stark story of the year!

All this plus… ‘Age of Ultron’ #7! In an attempt to defeat Ultron two Marvel Heroes take it upon themselves to create an all-new Marvel Universe. But is the one they have created better or worse than the one they left behind? The event of the year just got insane!
