1st printing.

Story and art by Jim Toomey.

Sherman the dim-witted shark and his cast of characters in Sherman's Lagoon provide enough laughs for a barrel of monkeys, not that they've ever seen any. The Lagoonies, as they're known to regular comic strip readers, are a motley crew—mostly of sea life—known for their acerbic humor.

There's Megan, Sherman's wife (a soft-touch despite the tough exterior). Fillmore the sea turtle makes up for Sherman's lack of intellect. Hawthorne the hermit crab resides in a beer can and is always in a "crabby" mood. Ernest the fish is a computer whiz, and Thornton the polar bear stumbled upon the island while floating by on an iceberg. Captain Quigley is the only human (or "beach ape") who resides in Sherman's Lagoon. He lost his leg to Sherman and is now out for revenge, but never quite gets close enough. To round out the cast there's Bob the bottom dweller. Enough said.

by Brian Augustyn, H.S. Park, Transparency Digital In a wild adventure that spans the universe from the high seas of our world in the Middle Ages to an extra dimensional realm of deadly monsters, strange civilizations and wild science, the exciting series stars the historical, red-bearded pirate known as Barbarossa and his crew of rowdy privateers. Along with the Countess Julia of Fondi ? a "captive" of great beauty and greater thirst for excitement, Barbarossa and his men struggle to survive this impossible new world. Finding their way home is the goal to be sure, but not before the freebooters take their fill of thrilling adventure and fabulous treasure! After Lady Julia talks ? and fights ? her way aboard Barbarossa's Corsair ship, her father dispatches an armada to bring her back. When the heavily armed galleons chase the swift Corsairs into the eye of a powerful typhoon, it looks as if Barbarossa's dreams of adventure will be dashed to pieces along with his ship. Incredibly, however, the astonished crew finds themselves sailing out of the storm and into a strange new world-- and, it seems, to safety. When a monster as big as ten whales explodes up from the depths of the sea, safety and sanity may be a thing of the past. 40pgs, FC SRP: $3.50 Cover price $3.50.

by Brian Augustyn & Dub A new series from Speakeasy Comics, by creator Brian Augustyn (Flash, Out There) and artist Dub! All over the world there's a startling outbreak of super-powers among previously normal human beings. This bizarre wave of incredible change evokes terror in some, suspicion, and cynical calculation in others. Only one man saw it coming, and he's been waiting for it for 1400 years! Once called Beowulf, now the great warrior lives in Manhattan and goes by the simpler name of Wulf. He alone knows that a coming world- threat has triggered the sudden power influx, but not even Wulf is in the dark as to what horrific shape that threat will take. In any case he makes his plans, bides his eternal time and waits for trouble to start. Perhaps the new hero of Times Square, known only as Powerhouse, will be an ally in the coming cataclysm ? if he and Wulf manage to survive the city's fear and loathing of the new powerful beings. 7x10, 32pgs, FCSRP: $2.99 Cover price $2.99.
