When teenager Roy Reyna finds he can transform into the super-powered simian APE X, it’s more fun than a barrel of monkeys…until H.A.M.M.E.R. agents capture him. The next thing Ape X knows, he’s in a secret prison being interrogated about some strange…Ape Universe. He doesn’t have the answers they want, and they don’t believe him. But they’ll break him, one way or another…
Ape X’s only hope is Jane Potter— a young journalist working for the Front Line newspaper, hungry for her first Big Story— plus her quirky co-conspirators: the Initiative’s furry fury, Gorilla Girl, and the world’s most lovable loser, the Gibbon. All this banana bunch has to do to save Ape X is break into the secret government facility known as…PROJECT PEGASUS.
Mix in some bad puns and big guns, the Red Ghost’s Super-Apes and a sinister cyber-simian called Ooktron, and the fur really flies! But escaping from Project Pegasus is no joke— and on this front line everyone is expendable!

THE ILIAD GN – TPB
Written by ROY THOMAS (based on the epic poem BY HOMER)
Penciled by MIGUEL ANGEL
SEPULVEDA
Cover by PAOLO RIVERA
Whether its author was truly a blind poet named Homer, who also composed The Odyssey…or whether the epic poem grew over a period of several centuries, added to by many men and perhaps women… is not known.  And probably never will be. Yet it remains, after many centuries, one of the greatest war stories—no, one of the greatest stories—in all of literature.  A tale of war between the Achaeans (Greeks) and the besieged Trojans over the fate of Helen, the most beautiful woman in the world…a test of wills between the fabled warrior Achilles and the war chief Agamemnon… with a climactic battle between Achilles and Hector, the foremost defender of Troy.  A saga of gods and men, each possessed of grand desires…and all too human failings.  The Iliad is both a whirl of scarlet action—and of the equally violent emotions that rule mankind.

Written by DAN SLOTT & CHRISTOS GAGE

Cover by MARK BROOKS
Attacked from within! For years, humans have warred with the Skrulls, a nefarious race of shape-shifting aliens — but now, having developed a way to avoid any type of detection, the Skrulls have infiltrated Earth’s superhuman community at every conceivable level, including the chief administrator of the Fifty State Initiative, Hank Pym, a.k.a. Yellowjacket. Leading up to the Skrulls’ full-scale attack on the planet, the Pym imposter used his political clout to station one of his fellow aliens on every single one of the Initiative’s fifty state-based teams. Now, with Skrulls openly attacking cities across the world and the entire planet in chaos, those sleeper agents have been activated. The current cadets and those trained by the Initiative must put all their instruction and hard work to use to foil the Skrulls’ takeover bid. But first they have to figure who, if anyone, they can trust. Collecting AVENGERS: THE INITIATIVE #14-19.

Now, it’s up to X-Factor Investigations and everyone’s favorite green bounty hunter She-Hulk to uncover the plot and punch the conspirators repeatedly. When X-Factor receives word that the X-Man Darwin has gone missing, they begin investigating immediately. Little do they suspect that Darwin has fallen in with the dimension-hopping X-Man Longshot, newly returned to the Marvel Universe. Although Longshot’s powers alter luck in his favor, it seems trouble follows him endlessly; it will take all of Darwin’s unusual abilities to survive this “friendship.” Collecting X-FACTOR #33-38 and SHE-HULK #31.

The Marvel Universe is overrun with evil, slimy green aliens from beyond the stars. Did you honestly believe the Punisher wouldn’t get his hands dirty?

Freed from prison as a result of the attack, the Punisher falls back into old habits: guns, mayhem and explosions. But this time, instead of setting his sites on the mafia or maniacs in brightly colored costumes, Frank Castle is fighting for the human race’s future, by blasting a hole in every green-skinned monstrosity he comes across.

Deep in the heart of Africa is Wakanda, a technologically advanced civilization of great power and mystery.

Governing this nation is a lineage of warrior-kings possessing enhanced speed, strength and agility. Today, T’Challa is the latest in this famed family line, the great hero known worldwide as the Black Panther. Despite the futile defeats of the past, outsiders are once more assembling to invade Wakanda and plunder its riches. Leading this brutal assault is Klaw, a deadly assassin with the blood of T’Challa’s murdered father on his hands.

Even with Wakanda’s might and his own superhuman skills, can the Black Panther prevail against such a massive invading force? Collecting BLACK PANTHER (2005) #1-6 and FANTASTIC FOUR #52-53.

Meet Jessica Jones. Once upon a time, she was a costumed super hero.

But her wit, charm and intelligence just may help her survive through another day. Thrust into the midst of a conspiracy that reaches the highest levels, has Jessica burned too many bridges to turn to old friends for help? Then, in “Rebecca, Come Home,” Jessica travels to upstate New York to investigate the disappearance of a teenage girl rumored to be a mutant in a prejudiced small town. And in “Raining Men,” the hard-luck PI goes on a date with … the Astonishing Ant-Man?! Collecting ALIAS #1-15.
