The Vision. Captain Mar-Vell. Yellowjacket. Deathcry. Swordsman. Dr. Druid. All lost their lives in the line of duty - or in disgrace.

When Earth's Mightiest Heroes are themselves laid low in the carnage of the CHAOS WAR, and the graves give up their dead, these six find themselves mysteriously returned to reassemble against the Chaos King's most fearsome ally - one of the Avengers' greatest foes! It's a final chance at redemption and a second life - and an opportunity to prove, once and for all, that they're worthy of the name Avengers.

Plus: Ares defeated Chaos King once before, but now the God of War is dead and armed only with his love for his lost son. How can he stop the living oblivion Chaos King has become, even with the help of Zeus and Hera? And at what price comes defeat? And in the midst of the epic battle raging through CHAOS WAR, Thor squares off against a foe who may be the most powerful he's ever faced: the alien god known only as Glory! This powerhouse has his sites set on helping Chaos King destroy all reality, so what hope does a simple Thunder God have of stopping him?

Volume 8 - 1st printing. Written by Tohru Kai. Art and cover by Yuna Kagesaki. Translated by Andrew Cunningham. Karin is a reverse vampire--instead of sucking blood, she injects it into her victims and fills them with vitality! A comedic novel based off of Yuna Kagesaki's best-selling manga! Concerned about who will protect Karin when she awakens as a full vampire, Anju collaborates with renegade vampire Noel to test Kenta's loyalty. Noel bites Kenta, draining him temporarily of his usual responsible, dedicated, and hardworking tendencies. While she's at it, she hypnotizes him and instills in him the idea that vampires are humans' enemies, including Karin. Suddenly, Kenta's behavior towards Karin changes dramatically, and the hapless blood-increasing vampire has no idea what's come over her sweetheart. To complicate matters, a cute college girl researching vampires has joined the waitstaff roster at Julien and is pumpling Kenta for information about possible Vampiric activity in Shiihaba.

Story and art by Howard Cruse.

Originally published in The Advocate during the 1980s, Howard Cruse's Wendel is widely considered the first gay comic strip to be featured in mainstream media. A topical and heartfelt chronicle of one gay man's journey through the often-rocky Reagan/Bush years, the strip followed the adventures of Wendel Trupstock, his boyfriend Ollie, and an unforgettable cast of supporting characters presented in realistic depictions of relationships, politics, personal struggles, and public triumphs.

The Complete Wendel contains every episode of the series and includes a new foreword by Cruse, who contextualizes the story of the creation and publication of the strip within the often tumultuous political zeitgeist of the 1980s.
