KID APOCALYPSE. OYA. Stepping out of the shadows of their predecessors, the ALL-NEW X-MEN are striking out on their own, determined to write their own futures!

    ROB: 90% of why I want this title is to find out why Oya and Kid Apoc are here. That said, the entire set up is actually rather fun anyhow, so I’m happy.

MAJOR PLOT POINT Gert will face her greatest foe yet, another human child named… Happy. Will she survive the power of true joy? Spoiler: This time, I’m not sure. We’ll see how it goes.

    CHRIS: This book is so suited for me. An art style that contradicts the nature of the story and humor in the comic. If you couldn’t tell by the cover, this one’s extremely violent so keep the kids away. It’s also mean spirited, cynical with an extremely angry protagonist. Perfect!

    Cover Price: $3.99
    SOLICITATION: • The return of Loki! • But for Thor, will he be friend or foe?

    ROB: Loki’s back! How does Loki fit into the Marvel U at this point? Last I knew he was a Young Avenger.

    WEB WARRIORS #2
    Writer: Mike Costa
    Artist: David Baldeon
    Publisher: Marvel Comics
    Cover Price: $3.99
    SOLICITATION: • SPIDER-GWEN STRANDED!

    ROB: More Spider-Gwen is plenty of reason to pick up the Web Warriors series, but the first issue set us up with an interesting premise and I’m excited to see more.
