You’ve seen Black Widow as an Avenger and even an Agent of Shield. But on her own time she searches for atonement for her past as a KGB assassin-in ways of which those teams just wouldn’t approve. From the darkest corners of the Marvel Universe, Nathan Edmonson (Who is Jake Ellis?) and Phil Noto (Thunderbolts, X-23) bring you a new ongoing series as gorgeous and mysterious as Nastasha Romanov herself!
All New X-Factor #1 by Peter David, Carmine Di Giandomenico, Jared K. Fletcher and Kris Anka! Peter David has had a great run writing X-Factor for years. Now it’s time to make the book more accessible with a relaunch!
Not all of the next wave of titles are starting at #1, Savage Wolverine #14 is written and drawn by Richard Isanove and is an All New Marvel Now starting point!
SURVIVING THE BLACK ROLLERS! In the 1930s Dustbowl, Logan is a bootlegger carrying whiskey down from Canada, until he finds himself the accidental caretaker of a group of orphans whose family was targeted by the mob. Now Logan must choose between the anonymous life he’s been meticulously building or stepping out into the spotlight again to defend the innocent. A tale of family, betrayal and revenge all set against the hard-scrabble life of the Great Depression, this is a chapter of Wolverine’s life you won’t want to miss!
All of these titles come out this week and are all great starting points for new readers! This week will also feature new issues of Sex Criminals, Walking Dead, Green Arrow, Batman/Superman, Deadpool, Star Wars and much more!
