Due to the bank holiday shenanigans I haven't actually seen any of these at the time of writing.  I think the whole bank holiday experiment can be considered a failure, when are they going to stop doing it?

AUTHORITY VOL 01 

AUTHORITY VOL 01 [(W) Warren Ellis, Mark Millar (A) Bryan Hitch, Frank Quitely (CA) Bryan Hitch, Paul Neary][(W) Warren Ellis, Mark Millar (A) Bryan Hitch, Frank Quitely (CA) Bryan Hitch, Paul Neary]

In a new paperback edition Warren Ellis and Brian Hitch's "widescreen" super-hero blockbuster returns. If it wasn't for this we wouldn't have had the Ultimates and if it wasn't for the Ultimates we wouldn't have the Marvel Cinematic Universe (TM) as we know it.

Vertigo horror. There's an evil in these woods. 

It's Shang Chi.  That makes two Kung-Fu comics on the stands from Marvel now.


It's Hellboy.  In Hell. What's not to like.
This is where Mike Mignola came back to drawing his creation after several years of writing for other artists,

The first DC Artist's Edition from IDW and they chose The King!

The Apocalypse War in colour from IDW.


Introductory priced first trade of one of Image's latest hit series.


Sam Kieth drawing Mars Attacks!


Gorgeous artwork well deserving of the oversized treatment.


A prequel to Lone Wolf & Cub in  the same format as Lone Wolf's recent re-issues.


Not all 1990s super-hero comics were crap.  This one certainly wasn't
The Superman event you't all been waiting for (allegedly) starts here.


And continues here



and then here


Bendis and Oeming, the people who brought you Powers.  I know almost none of you bought Powers but you should give this one a go.


The post All Out War world begins here.  New look to the cover design (supplied artwork not accurate) and a double sized issue at no extra cost.

From the people who brought  you Haunted Horror.
