All-New X-Men #3

The flagship X-Book marches on! The original 5 X-Men are back, but that's not all that's happening. What happened to the Phoenix 5 from AVENGERS VS. X-MEN?

Why I Pull: I've read X-Titles since I started reading comics, and the sucker that I am will always pick up a new title. Not to say this isn't a good title because it is, and will be fun to see how they play out time travel so it doesn't effect the 616.

The Amazing Spider-Man #699

This is the MUST READ issue that turns over all the cards and reveals secrets that have been set as far back as ENDS OF THE EARTH, SPIDER-ISLAND, and 99 issues ago in ASM #600!

Doctor Octopus has hours left to live. He knows Peter Parker’s secret. He has no master plan—all he wants is vengeance. Which members of Spider-Man’s rogues gallery will heed Ock’s call to arms?

Special appearances by the Lizard, the Spider-Slayer, Morbius the Living Vampire, and some surprising Spidey Foes!

Why I Pull: This is the end of an era. Peter Parker will be Spider-man for only 1 more issue. This is a must read.

Avengers #1

The greatest heroes in comics together on one unbeatable team! Now shipping twice a month, the Avengers "go large," expanding their roster and their sphere of influence to a global and even interplanetary level. When Captain America puts out his call - who will answer? Big threats, big ideas, big idealism - these are the Avengers NOW!

Why I Pull: The definitive team in the Marvel Universe is the Avengers. With Marvel NOW! this is the starting point for a whole new era of Avengers greatness.

Avenging Spider-Man #15

Dell'otto drawing Devil Dinosaur? Done!

Why I Pull: I have always loved MAD's art style and seeing the first run of this series kept me coming back for more. I also have always loved Spider-man Team-ups, and this fits the bill nicely. Even better its Spider-man fighting a Dinosaur, who can't love that.

Deadpool #3

Deadpool vs. Dead Presidents…this time, TRICKY DICK NIXON! Can even Doctor Strange help the M w/the M? This is the Deadpool series you will marry someday!

Why I Pull: I have the Original Deadpool #1 framed on my wall. I will always check out a Deadpool series even if they are horrible like Deadpool Corps and Deadpool Pulp. Oh and did I mention again Deadpool vs. Dead Presidents.

Hawkeye #5

THE TAPE CONCLUDES!

Someone has a deadly secret will change the course of Hawkeye’s relationship with the Avengers.

Why I Pull: I was never really into Hawkeye because I didn't read the Avengers. That all changed when I read Bullseye's run in Dark Reign: Hawkeye, and the Hawkeye & Mockingbird series.

Iron Man #3

The new Iron Man stealth armor debuts! The most subtle Iron Man armor of all time!

Deep in Columbia the daughter of a cartel boss is "modified" by EXTREMIS.

Will villains VIBRO, FIREBRAND and THE LIVING LASER stop Tony from doing what he must to save the world from the deadly nano-virus?

An all-new era for Tony Stark from the best-selling UNCANNY X-MEN team of Kieron Gillen and Greg Land!

Why I Pull: Again one of the titles I had only picked up originally during crossovers. But after the movies I decided to give Iron Man a go. I can say I'm not disappointed. With Marvel NOW things are only getting started.

Punisher: War Zone #2

Kings take Castle. Now its his move!

It takes more than bullets to take out the Avengers' biggest guns.

Why I Pull: I honestly have never been able to get into Punisher. I just didn't feel the book, or the writing I'm never sure. But being a tie-in with the Avengers and possible lead into Punisher on the Thunderbolts I had to pick this one up.

Red She-Hulk #60

VS. THE AVENGERS!!!

Red She-Hulk = National Threat!

What shocking discovery does Machine Man make about the future of super-humans?

Why I Pull: While some of the original Hulk run with General Ross seemed dry and on occasion out in left field, I've always liked the Red She-Hulk character and have decided to give the new Marvel NOW title a chance.

Thunderbolts #1

Red Hulk, Venom, Elektra, Deadpool, the Punisher. Forget the courts, the jails, the system - this team of Thunderbolts fights fire with fire, targeting the most dangerous and lethal players in the Marvel Universe with extreme prejudice. Led by General "Thunderbolt" Ross, AKA the Red Hulk, this hand-picked team of like-minded operatives is going to make the world a better place...by all means necessary.

Why I Pull: Again like the Avengers I had never heard of this title. It was the Dark Avengers during Osborn's Dark Reign that got me hooked. While I don't really care for Elektra, and Punisher, and Red Hulk occasionally comes off dry, I do love me some Deedpool and Venom.

Ultimate Comics Ultimates #18.1

Can America recover after the dramatic events of United We Stand?

President Cap takes charge!

Thor's momentous decision!

Perfect jumping on point for new readers!

Why I Pull: Marvel has done a great job with their Ultimate Universe. Basically any title they put our in it I'll buy. This is the Avengers but in a universe where actions have real and lasting consequences.

Wolverine MAX #2

Meet Victor Creed!

As Logan investigates the crash that wiped his memory, he uncovers things about his past he didn't want to know!

Why I Pull: Again anything X-Men gets my Pull. I'm not always a fan of MAX titles but being issue #2 I'm still holding out to see if this title changes my opinion.

X-Factor #248

A familiar face hovers between life and death.

The only one who can save them is Monet…but it will require reliving the most horrific experience of her life.

Why I Pull: X-Book, I love X-factor because it doesn't play to the normal Super-hero team book. They do thing a little differently.

X-Men #39

Domino teams up with Daredevil to take down Armitage!

Action! Adventure! Romance!?

But whose side will Domino take in the end?

Why I Pull: Another X-Book so it gets pulled. Probably the X-Titles that has all of my favorite characters in it. From Domino and Jubilee to Colossus and Storm, this books great.

Superman is on trial for his life – and the jury is the Anti-Superman Army! It’s the ultimate villains springing the ultimate trap at the end of time itself!

And the mystery that has built since issue #1 is resolved as the Little Man’s true identity is revealed – with grave consequences!

Plus, in the backup feature: A crucial piece of information is revealed!

Why I Pull: I have never been a big DC reader but Superman was a comic I'd occasionally pull. With the New 52, this was a great time to jump on. Action Comics is doing a great job of showing the early ears of Superman in Metropolis, give some background to the reboot.

Batwing and Dawn battle Father Lost in the streets of Tinasha!

Father Lost’s new powers are proving too much for Batwing and his new ally…time for a last ditch effort that might just get them both killed!

Why I Pull: With the New 52 reboot I picked up all the Bat Books. So far I can say Batwing has not disappointed.

“All I could see was red. Then I saw the white and the blue. And the pinko.”

And don’t miss the latest sensational chapter of the CRIMSON CORSAIR, from writer and artist JOHN HIGGINS.

Why I Pull: I had not idea who or what Watchmen were until the Movie. From that one event I'm not hooked. This is a must read of anyone who has never read anything about the Watchmen or for the longtime readers to get more background on The Comedian.

“Why is mommy crying, Uncle Hollis?”

And don’t miss the latest chapter of the “Crimson Corsair” backup feature from writer/artist JOHN HIGGINS!

Why I Pull: I had not idea who or what Watchmen were until the Movie. From that one event I'm not hooked. This is a must read of anyone who has never read anything about the Watchmen or for the longtime readers to get more background on The Minutemen.

A “DEATH OF THE FAMILY” tie-in!

What has The Joker done with The Penguin?

Guest-starring Poison Ivy and Clayface!

Plus: In the backup story, learn the secret way to make it as a super criminal in Gotham City.

Why I Pull: Batman is the definitive anti-hero. Dark and mysterious and willing to go the extra mile to bring down the villain. Detective Comics separates itself from other Bat Books in that it shows Batman using his skills and training to discover the clues and take down the villain. Being a Death Of The Family Tie-in makes this a must.

A new storyline begins as Nelson and Manteau are off to Europe in search of a relic that might hold the answer to their secret powers!

Meanwhile, a powerful stranger arrives in Littleville to await their return.

Why I Pull: One of the second wave of New 52 I decided to give the title a try. I'm still on the fence but with a new story arch only time will tell.

Who is Hawkgirl? The secret is revealed!

Mr. Terrific makes his first appearance on Earth 2 since he left our world!

Don’t miss the aftermath of “THE GRUNDY APOCALYPSE!”

Why I Pull: Another second wave title. I usually like Multiple universes as long as they don't go over the top and have waaaayy too many (as DC is found of). My hope is they treat Earth 2 similar to how Marvel treats Ultimate in that actions have lasting consequences, ie; you won't see hero's dying and coming back 10 issues later.

Ollie begins a downward spiral as he slowly loses everything!

Betrayed and alone after the loss of Q-Corps, can the Emerald Archer hold on to his arsenal?

Why I Pull: While others have mixed feelings about Green Arrow I have personally enjoyed it. Again not knowing a lot about DC beforehand the New 52 gave me the chance to start over. I started reading this book because of the notion that Green Arrow was a mix of Batman and Hawkeye. With the New TV show and writer/artists changing soon I'm ready to see where this title goes.

Ex-Marine and war veteran Michael Taylor discovers a conspiracy to use human bombs to destroy the United States! But how can he possibly stop them when he could be their ultimate bomb?

Why I Pull: Being a Mini-series it makes it easier. While I know little about Freedom Fighters the reviews I've seen online recommend this as a definite pull.

Midnighter: enemy of Stormwatch?

The manipulations of the Shadow Lords have turned members of the team against each other! Is this the beginning of the end as we saw it in issue #0?

Why I Pull: I was a huge fan of Wildstorm in the 90s and with the release of DC's New 52 decided to give this book a try as I never read it from Wildstorm. It has been hit and miss so far and is one of the titles canceled I may not miss it.

Robin begrudgingly helps Huntress track down the threat to Wayne Enterprises, but little do they realize that threat is actually tracking them!

Meanwhile, Power Girl continues to explore the connection between Earth 2, Apokolips and this Earth, only to find herself in a stand-off with...a bunch of heavily armed 10-year-olds?!

Why I Pull: Another 2nd Wave comic. Coming from the the events in the first issue of Earth-2, Huntress and Powergirl are now on our Earth. It's good to see a strong super heroine book.

TOP COW'S TOP-SELLING SERIES OF ALL TIME CONTINUES IN ITS GROUND-BREAKING RELAUNCH! APHRODITE V DEBUTS!

For the first time in history, mankind is outpacing evolution. It takes nature thousands of years to adapt to changes and the things humanity has accomplished technologically in just the past 100 years has thrown its ability to evolve, and in turn survive, completely out of whack. In other words, a world full of wonders and conveniences is being created that none will hope to survive. This dilemma is at the heart of what CYBER FORCE is all about.

The massive corporation CDI continues to engineer technologically enhanced humans. Cyber Force, terrorists or resistance fighters depending on your point of view, try and regroup and reveal the conspiracy that is behind the heart of CDI and its mission. Aphrodite V and Stryker make their debut!

Why I Pull: A series I always wanted to read but never did. When Image/Top Cow decided to relaunch the title I jumped on at issue #1.

First issue in a special two-part story featuring the art of Philip Bond! The stress from their past few adventures have the Doctor and Rory at each other's throats, and Amy has had just about enough. So she sends them on a boys night out, must to their chagrin, but with a TARDIS at their disposal.

Why I Pull: A friend at work turned me on to Doctor Who. I've been hooked ever since. I decided to check out the comic and lets just say IDW is doing a great job keeping the Whovian in me satisfied during the Winter mid-season break.

Things are finally coming to a head between DARKLON and DESTRO! With the two adversaries confronting each other for the first time in years, things could get out of control-fast! Meanwhile, G.I. JOE is in trouble: CLUTCH and ROCK N' ROLL are trapped in COBRA's new HQ and a new mission in Benzheen takes a turn for the worse! The villains reign supreme in G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero #185!

Why I Pull: I'm really not sure why I keep getting this one. Maybe nastalgia. I personally don't think the stories are as good as IDW reboot, the page layouts while true to the original Marvel series doesn't impress, but I keep coming back for more.

Shortly after the birth of the Empire, Darth Vader master of combat, terror of his enemies, continues his purge of the Jedi Knights on a planet where his Jedi prey are revered. Amidst a planetwide insurgency, the Dark Lord must snuff out one surviving Jedi, as well as kill the fire of rebellion in the native populace. All will bow to the power of Vader and the Galactic Empire!

Alexander Freed of The Old Republic writes Darth Vader!

Follows the events of Revenge of the Sith.

Darth Vader brings terror to the Jedi!

Why I Pull: It's Star Wars, and it has Darth Vader. Need I say more.

Two universes will collide as the war criminal, Ultra Magnus, and his crew of Evil Autobots escape from Optimus Prime's prison on Paradron and cross over from the Shattered Glass 'mirror universe' into the 'normal' Classicverse, fighting heroic Autobots, evil Decepticons, and anyone else who dares to stand in their war! Autobot versus Autobot, Decepticon versus Decepticon - get ready for the ultimate multiversal battle!

Why I Pull: Fun Publications being the Official Fan Club of Transformers puts out some outstanding One-Shot alternate timeline stories. This is a Must of any Transformers Fan.

DARK REIGN! The fallout from the devastation on Earth ripples outwards, all the way to Nebulos, where GRIMLOCK faces his own darkest demons and a fateful choice that may cost him his very Spark. The dark reign of SCORPONOK begins here, and nothing will ever be the same again!

Why I Pull: I enjoyed the original Marvel series and IDW has done a great job of continuing the story built there.
