Written by Brian Azzarello Art and cover by Marcelo Frusin. Fresh off his white-hot run on SUPERMAN, Eisner award-winning writer Brian Azzarello (100 BULLETS, BATMAN) has created a Western for the new millennium. Reuniting with HELLBLAZER artist Marcelo Frusin, Azzarello has fashioned a tough-as-nails monthly series that combines all the bloody action and atmosphere of a Sergio Leone film with the provocative storytelling of HBO's Deadwood. The extra-sized 40-page issue #1 is just $2.99; future issues are 32 pages. Wes Cutter is a wanted man running from a violent past ? the horrors of the Civil War, a brutal stint in a Union prison camp, and the savage fallout of Reconstruction. Now he's on a quest for the one thing in short supply: peace. Joining Wes is his beautiful wife Ruth, a woman who has been to hell and back herself ? and hides dark secrets of her own. The road they travel will be a bloody one, leaving a trail of bodies stretching from Missouri to the Pacific Ocean. This is a tale only Azzarello ? the mind behind some of the hardest-hitting comics of the last decade ? could tell. On sale October 26 ? 40 pg, FC, $2.99 US ? MATURE READERS ?

Written by Marc Andreyko. Art by Javier Pina, Steve Sadowski, Andrew Pepoy, Sean Phillips and Fernando Blanco. Cover by Jesus Saiz To become Manhunter, Kate Spencer broke into an evidence locker and stole a powerful super-suit, but she had no idea where it came from! The suit's secret history comes to life in this stand-alone issue! On sale Oct 19, 32 pg, FC, $2.50 US. REVIEW BY LONE STAR'S AARON SETTLE: After the OMAC Project tie-in of the last couple of issues, Manhunter 15 features a special self-contained story that offers up the origin of Kate Spencer's costume. The story is told in a series of vignettes, each focusing on a different component of the costume, where it came from and how Kate got a hold of it. The issue is written by series creator Marc Andreyko and features a different guest artist for each chapter of the book. Stephen Sadowski illustrates The Suit, while Sean Phillips handles The Gauntlets, and Rags Morales, Bob Petrecca and Shawn Martinbrough wrap it up with The Staff. It's cool to see how each piece of the costume has a tie to another hero and a legacy all of it's own. If you haven't checked out Manhunter yet, this is a pretty cool issue to jump on board with. If you've been reading all along, it's even better. Cover price $2.50.

Written by ROY THOMAS. Art by JOHN BUSCEMA, DON HECK and GEORGE TUSKA. Cover by DON HECK.

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.

Volume 8 - 1st printing. By Ken Akamatsu. Ten-year-old magical prodigy and girls school instructor Negi Springfield has a new secret . . . and some of his more stubborn students are determined to uncover it. Few know that Negi has magical powers. (In fact, hell be turned into a weasel if he is officially found out). No wonder Negi is so cautious while taking magic lessons from the so-good-at-being-bad Evangeline. As one of the few students who actually knows about his special abilities, Asuna is the one girl to whom Negi decides to tell yet another secret–one involving Negis long-lost father who disappeared years ago. But what connection can there possibly be between the Thousand Master and Asuna? Softcover, 5-in.x 7-in., 208 pages, B&W. NOTE: These are Japanese manga-style GNs and are meant to be read right-to-left. Cover price $10.95.
