New releases for February 5th

It’s a big week for Marvel as Wednesday, February 5th gives us a bunch of cool All New Marvel Now Titles that you’ve been waiting for! All New Marvel Now titles are jumping on points for new readers and a great reason to check out a character you’ve been thinking about reading!Finally, we’ve got a new ongoing Punisher series!

Punisher_1
For years, The Punisher has waged a war on crime in New York City with an array of very large guns, but a lead on a major source of drugs, weapons, and more has set his many sights due west. NOW! Frank Castle’s in the City of Angels, looking to give the devil his due. Things aren’t all they appear, though, with a highly trained military hit squad hot on Frank’s tail. Caught between a posse of Punisher predators and targets of his own one-man-war, Frank’s manifest destiny may be a shallow grave!
We seriously don’t know why there isn’t always a Punisher ongoing series going on, but here it is!Marvel Comics is bringing Ms. Marvel back as a 16-year-old daughter of Pakistani immigrants living in Jersey City named Kamala Khan!

Ms_Marvel_1
Marvel Comics presents the all-new MS. MARVEL, the ground breaking heroine that has become an international sensation! Kamala Khan is just an ordinary girl from Jersey City–until she is suddenly empowered with extraordinary gifts. But who truly is the all-new Ms. Marvel? Teenager? Muslim? Inhuman? Find out as she takes the Marvel Universe by storm, and prepare for an epic tale that will be remembered by generations to come.
We have a feeling this one is going to be a sleeper hit, as it’s gotten a great deal of press lately.

Here’s one that everyone’s been adding to their file, Loki Agent of Asgard #1!

Loki_1
Old God – New Trickster!

Kid Loki’s all grown up – and the God of Mischief is stronger, smarter, sexier and just plain sneakier than ever before. As Asgardia’s one-man secret service, he’s ready to lie, cheat, steal, bluff and snog his way through the twistiest, turniest and most treacherous missions the All-Mother can throw at him… starting with a heart-stopping heist on Avengers Tower – and the death of Thor! And that’s just the beginning!
Would we lie to you? This is LOKI, true believer – we’re lying to you RIGHT NOW!
Just like Black Widow, people have been waiting for a chance to read Loki after the Avengers movies and here it is.Wolverine gets a new number one in a book that’s supposed to do to Wolverine what Amazing Spider Man #700 did for Spider-Man!

Wolverine_1
WOLVERINE NO MORE?
After the events of KILLABLE, Wolverine has something to prove. Before he can take on Sabretooth again, he’ll need to build himself back up, get better and stronger than he’s ever been…but it’s not as easy as he thought, and he’ll soon find himself turning to other means of revenge when the normal channels don’t seem to be working fast enough. Can he fight back his demons, or is this the beginning of a Wolverine who’s gone to the dark side?
We’re not sure what Marvel’s going for with this one, but they’ve set up a huge retailer promotion around it so odd’s are it’s a big deal.

Brian Wood’s all female X-men time gets a new story-line with X-Men #10!

X-Men_10
AN ALL-NEW SISTERHOOD! The X-Men have taken down super villains, aliens and their own future selves…but never all at the same time! Lady Deathstrike has put together an all new Sisterhood, her own illuminati to take down the X-Men and take over the world. Recruiting the likes of Typhoid Mary and Enchantress, her cabal go on a global hunt for the most powerful of them all…an enemy who holds the X-Men responsible for her almost-destruction. Meanwhile, M settles in and Rachel comes to terms with her relationship with Sublime.
Other All New Marvel Now releases for the week are All New Invaders #2, Black Widow #3, and Avengers AI #2!

Who is The Joker’s Daughter? What horrors lurk in the mind of this deranged lunatic, and why is there more to her than meets the eye? More than just a crazy person who stumbled upon The Joker’s face, more than just a woman with a mission, The Joker’s Daughter sees herself as a woman on the path of greed, dominance and lordship over the Gotham Underground. This special issue tells a sordid tale in the life of one of DC’s most popular new villains!
