Avengers #18 The Skrulls are back! Marvel teased Earth’s Mightiest Heroes may have to form an alliance with the shapeshifting aliens but last week the Avengers made a shocking discovery in Infinity #1. Now Captain America and company are in deep space to head off the threat from the Builders! What’s happened to the Skrull Empire since Secret Invasion? Marvel’s aliens  you love to hate are back but working with the heroes!

 

Daredevil #30 The Sentinel of the Spaceways takes Manhattan! What would unite the Silver Surfer and the Man Without Fear?

 

KISS Kids #1 No fire-breathing or scares here just fun starring a junior version of the Rock and Roll icons stars in adventures for the whole family. This is sentimental pick since KISS scared me as a kid, especially in KISS Meets the Phantom of the Park – a camp classic.

 

Superman Unchained #3 The tight, twisted tale of The Ascension, Lex Luthor and a covert U.S. military operation continues as the Man of Steel finds the secret the U.S. military has been hiding. Superstars Scott Snyder and Jim Lee are creating what may be the best New 52 Superman story so far.

 

X-Men #4 The aftermath of Primer! Will Storm keep her team of X-women together after their last battle? What will mutant vampire teen mom Jubilee do with the mysterious orphan? After Battle of the AtomLady Deathstrike and a new Sisterhood are on the horizon as fan favorite artist Terry Dodson joins Brian Wood on the next arc.
