X-Men #1 Release Event
After many delays X-Men #1 By Brian Wood and Oliver Coipel is finally here on 5-29-2013!
While the book is called “X-men” it’s all about the women! This ongoing series is described by Marvel as such…
Because you demanded it! The X-Women finally get their own book, from critically acclaimed superstars Brian Wood (X-MEN, ULTIMATE X-MEN, DMZ, The Massive) and Olivier Coipel (AVX, HOUSE OF M, THOR)! An old enemy shows up at the X-Men’s door, seeking asylum from an ancient evil come back to earth. Meanwhile, Jubilee has come home, and she’s brought with her an orphaned baby who might hold the key to the earth’s survival…or its destruction. Against a backdrop of what seems like an alien invasion and an eons-spanning war between brother and sister, Storm steps up and puts together a team to protect the child and stop a new threat that could destroy all life on earth!
So what I am excited about? Over the years we’ve seen Wolverine act as a father figure to Kitty Pryde, Rouge and Jubilee. This is really the first time we’ll get to see all three of them on a team together, and it’s a great set up for dialogue and camaraderie. Plus the creative team of Brian Wood and Oliver Coipel have proven themselves many times over.
For this event as before we’ll have lots of cool variants, many of which will be available at cover price while supplies last! (So be sure to be there at noon on Wednesday!)

Also this Wednesday from DC’s adult imprint Vertigo is The Wake, the new series from Scott Snyder of Batman fame!
“THERE’S SOMETHING DOWN THERE…”
When Marine Biologist Lee Archer is approached by the Department of Homeland Security for help with a new threat, she declines, but quickly realizes they won’t take no for an answer. Soon she is plunging to the depths of the Arctic Circle to a secret, underwater oilrig where they’ve discovered something miraculous and terrifying…
Writer Scott Snyder (BATMAN, AMERICAN VAMPIRE) and artist Sean Murphy (PUNK ROCK JESUS) bring their acclaimed talents to this sci-fi/horror epic that explores the horrors of the deep, probes the origins of human history, and leaps far beyond to a frightening future.
The Wake will have a 1:25 variant too!
See you this Wednesday!
