Red Skull. Kang. Apocalypse Twins. Onslaught. The new unity team of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes and Children of the Atom faces a unholy army of villains. Captain America and Wolverine’s Unity Team may get some reinforcements in Uncanny Avengers #12 from Cable and X-Force!

One of the big reasons I’m sharing this story is because celebrated artist Salvador Larroca (X-Men, Invincible Iron Man and currently Cable and X-Force) is joining the September issue focusing on Kang the Conqueror. Larroca is one of my all-time favorite artists who been innovative. Here’s just one cover from his X-Treme X-Men run with Chris Claremont.

DC Comics is introducing a new femme fatale! Her target: Katana!

“Katana’s latest adventures have sent her all the way to Japan in an attempt to repair her treasured sword. But her journey will hardly be an easy one, especially with The Outsiders on her trail. And when a new adversary named Swagger gets word that Katana has returned to her homeland, this equally treacherous and masochistic leader of the sword clan will make it her personal mission to rid Katana of her Soultaker. Using a special coil sword of her own that’s thinner and more flexible than Katana’s, will Swagger have the last laugh?”

Is Swagger part of Villains Month? Could this be a hint at a new Outsiders in The New 52?
