Heart #1- Mixed Martial Arts and comics collide when an office drone named Oren ‘Rooster’ Redmond follows his older brother into the fiercely competitive world of professional MMA.

Find out in the first chapter of this four-issue series.

Stormwatch #3- The moon has declared war on Earth, and now its emissaries have landed. All over the world these lunar antibodies have absorbed our buildings, our pets and our neighbors, crafting monstrous bodies to tear our world apart. Fighting on the front lines: new recruits Apollo and Midnighter.

Uncanny X-Men #1- What is to become of the mutants who side with Cyclops after the big split? And what does it have to do with the resurrected Mister Sinister?

Invincible #84- After all he’s done, everything he’s lived through… how does Invincible pick up the pieces and continue on as if nothing has changed? The answer is… he can’t.

New & Noteworthy 

Fables #83:  “Great Fables Crossover” part 1! After the events of the previous arc, the Fables formerly of Fabletown hope for a brief reprieve from the coming darkness–and instead collide with another threat that may wipe out their entire existence! Continued in JACK OF FABLES #33.

The 99 #1-6: When Dr. Ramzi is called to the UAE to psychoanalyze a recent kidnap-victim, he learns that this traumatized young woman is actually Noora the Light, the second of THE 99! But how did Noora escape her kidnappers on her own, and what is the dark secret she is holding in?

Collections & Graphic Novels

Clumsy:  Jeffrey Brown’s debut work; a book praised by Chris Ware and hailed by James Kochalka as his “favorite graphic novel ever.” Clumsy is the bittersweet story of a year-long, long-distance relationship, told through snippets of everyday life, drawn in a simple and elegantly awkward style that heightens the emotional impact and leaves you reminiscing about your own past love affairs.

Captain Pixel: A new virus has been introduced and it is now up to Captain Pixel, a polar bear and the mysterious wizard, Adobus, to stop this rapidly growing plague.

Divine Intervention: Marc Graham, a conflicted, contract killer, could hardly be considered a hero. Things change when he stumbles into an ancient conflict between the Templar agency, a clandestine organization that protects powerful artifacts from falling into the wrong hands, and strange, demonic forces seeking to control the world. After gaining mysterious, angelic powers from a freak accident Marc must dive headfirst into a dangerous new world where he is hunted by deadly monsters who will stop at nothing to unlock the secret of his new powers and possess them for themselves.
