Harley Quinn (2000) 1 CBCS 9.6

Paper: White

Label #16-2D380CB-030

From the moment she first appeared on Batman: The Animated Series, Harley Quinn has taken the world by storm. Now, building on her triumphant debut as part of the DC Universe during "No Man's Land" (in the hugely successful BATMAN: HARLEY QUINN one-shot), the Joker's special lady takes center stage in a new ongoing series titled ? what else? ? HARLEY QUINN. Written by Karl Kesel (SUPERBOY, Section Zero) with art and covers by Terry Dodson and Rachel Dodson (SILVER AGE, Generation X), HARLEY QUINN is not the story of an honorable woman and her quest for justice. Instead, it's a love story gone horribly, horribly, horribly wrong, especially in the first, extra-length issue, as the Joker's girlfriend must do without Mister J's "calming" influence! And considering just how many sandwiches short of a picnic Harley is, you know this book's going to be wild! Harley is driven to astounding lengths to free her loony lover. And that's just in the first seven pages! What follows is too strange for words, though it does involve one itsy-bitsy cameo by Batman. Just one! Once you see life through the eyes of Harley Quinn, you'll find she makes a lot more sense. Would you believe a little more sense? Cover price $2.95.

Marvel Boy (2000) 1 FN+ 6.5

Staple rust.

Grant Morrison script; J.G. Jones art. THE SCOOP: The dream team of writer Grant Morrison (JLA) and J.G. Jones (BLACK WIDOW) unleash a new Marvel hero for the 21st Century! THE STORY: Forget everything you know about the name Marvel Boy! Burn the toga and the headband! Shred the cape and wave goodbye to Uranus! This is a very different character. The new Marvel Boy is Noh-Varr, the youngest member of a Kree Diplomatic team. After voyaging for years, these alien super heroes reach Earth, only to be blown out of the sky. Only Noh-Varr survives, and is captured and tortured by the mysterious Midas Organization. Escaping, he vows vengeance on all mankind. But with Morrison weaving this tale, don't expect cliche superheroics or a squeaky clean protagonist. Instead, get ready for Dr. Midas, a criminal billionare who's so obsessed with Cosmic Rays that he bathes in them... Exterminatrix, who arrives in issue #3 to make life heaven and hell for Marvel Boy... the Plex Intelligence, a clone of the Supreme Intelligence, but with Multiple Personality options... Hexus, the Living Corporation... Bannermen, a trio of U.N. super soldiers whose bodies are laced with adamantium and enhanced by gamma-rays... and have we talked about our ticked off protagonist yet? Hey, why don't we just listen to the words of Morrison instead? THE WRITER SPEAKS: "We're always being told that super hero books are nothing but adolescent power fantasies. Fine. Here comes the ultimate adolescent power fantasy! The Marvel Style began with the Sub-Mariner... and like Bill Everett's Prince Namor, I wanted my hero to be an outcast, a fiery rebel with an appetite for righteous mass destruction. Marvel Boy is not one of the Kree we're familiar with from books like AVENGERS and CAPTAIN MARVEL. He's a super diplomat who's spent a few years adventuring across numerous alternate realities and bizarre dimensions. Now, in the Marvel Universe, he must use all of his skills and powers just to stay alive and continue his one-man guerrila war against our planet. Like Marvel Boy himself, I'm a newcomer to this Universe and I'm having fun using stuff like S.H.I.E.L.D. or the Mindless Ones and finding new takes on it, things we haven't seen or thought before. I got sick of seeing what I call ?DadComics.' It's time to say goodbye to all those boring, nostalgic books. We're here to trash the past and make something new that's relevant to our lives today." ? THE FORMAT: Six-issue monthly limited series. Cover price $2.99.

The year was 1967, and what a year it was to be an Avengers fan. Why? Because Earth's Mightiest Heroes gained one of Earth's Mightiest artists-the one and only John Buscema! If an artist like Big John teaming up to create the titanic Thomas/Heck/Buscema triumvirate isn't enough to wet your whistle for amazing tales of the adventurous Avengers, then get a load of the manic Marvel Masterworks they have in store for you: Prince of Power, Hercules goes mano-a-mano with the Dragon Man; Captain America mixes it up with the Russian Red Guardian for the Red, White and Blue; the entire dag-blamed Avengers battle the Super-Adaptoid; Goliath and the Wasp face a blast from their shrinking past as they fight the Whirlwind. And a hero redeems the role of the Black Knight only to have the Avengers lose their teammates, Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch, to Magneto and the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants-it's a cosmic balance, bub! And let us not forget, Avengers past and present joining together in combat against a sextet of baddies built up by the Mandarin. It's a story so huge it could only be contained in the first-ever Avengers Annual! Remember, True Believer, there's no guarantee that a yuletide gift this hot won't ignite, so don't forget to fireproof the ol' fir tree. Cover price $54.99.

Certifiably the World's Greatest Comic Collaboration, the Stan Lee/Jack Kirby Fantastic Four run stands as one of the high-water marks in the history of the medium.

This is a Marvel comic, after all! Expect plenty of explosive action and family drama a-go-go as the FF build up to their 100th issue featuring everyone from Doc Doom to Dragon Man! They'll also help mankind take one giant leap when the Kree's robot Sentry tries to stop the Apollo 11 moon landing!

Photo Variant Cover

Label #4335321005

Photo cover. Written by Steven Grant. Art by Carlos Ferreira. RoboCop and Officer Lewis meet the threat they never expected -- Officer Lewis' sister! RoboCop super-scribe Steven Grant and new artist Carlos Ferreira serve up this one shot story that puts Officer Lewis front-and-center of the action. A badass young woman, who calls herself Heaven, and her gang swing into Detroit to take advantage of the general lack of authority -- the cops are still on strike, city government might as well not exist, OCP is defunct -- to make their mark. They run recklessly over everyone and everything until RoboCop crosses their path, and then Heaven dedicates herself to making him pay for getting in their way. This gets complicated for Lewis, because Heaven is her little sister, who, always spoiled and uncontrollable, ran away years ago. Things come to a head when Heaven traps RoboCop and plans to take his head for a souvenir, and it falls to Lewis to save him, but it looks like the only way she can do that...is to kill Heaven! 16 pages, full color.
