Written by Dennis Feldman. Art by Jon Foster and Brian Kane. Cover by John Bolton. When a governmental research group receives an electronic message from space, the U.S. becomes the first player in intergalactic communications. The second message carries with it an experimental genetic code intended to create the ultimate communications link: a hybrid lifeform utilizing human and alien DNA. The experiment succeeds, and the result is a seemingly normal twelve-year-old girl. But when she starts to change into something more than human, when she appears to be more a threat than a messenger, the U.S. government orders her termination. She quickly learns one of life's little lessons: In a hostile environment, you can adapt... or you can die. 32 pages, FC. Cover price $2.50.

When will the goblin strike again? The untenable situation has Peter and Mary Jane living on the edge…waiting for the next attack! The fateful day of destiny finally arrives when Harry traps Spider-Man inside his townhouse wired with explosives!

Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi - The Sith War #1 (of 6). Writer: Kevin J. Anderson. Cover Artist: Hugh Fleming. Penciller: Dario Carrasco, Jr. Inker: Jordi Ensign. Letterer: Willie Schubert. Colorist: Rachelle Menashe. This issue kicks off the thrill-a-minute follow-up to the best-selling Dark Lords of the Sith saga. Picking up six months after our story left off, Exar Kun and Ulic Qel-Droma are implementing their insidious plan for revitalizing the Golden Age of the Sith. While insinuating his darkside teachings to Jedi students on the planet Ossus, it becomes clear that Kun is only concerned with securing a powerful Sith Holocron from its sealed repository in the great library of Ossus. Ulic has devoted himself to developing the darkside military strategy -- the key to which may just be winning the loyalty of the ferocious warrior race led by a masked mysteryman named Mandalore. Cover price $2.50.
