The Items of the Week has nothing to watch now that football is over.  Sigh...OOH!  HOCKEY!

Batman and Robin 8 - Only months into his new role as Batman, Dick Grayson faces perhaps the biggest threat of his life. In hopes of attaining his heart's desire, has Dick instead unleashed a terror the likes of which the world has never seen? Meanwhile, back in Gotham City, Alfred and a recuperating Robin are at the mercy of someone both fearsome and familiar.

DMZ 50 - Celebrate 50 issues of DMZ with "Notes from the Underground," an oversized collection of short stories gathered by stranded rookie journalist Matty Roth on location in the heart of America's Second Civil War.

From The Ashes:TPB: 1- Bob Fingerman's speculative memoir (starring Bob and his wife Michelle) set in a post-apocalyptic and nuclear ravaged New York City is a surprisingly perky take on Armageddon. A hip satirical romp though Manhattan's ruins, From the Ashes is a new spin on the old autobiographical comics genre.

Haunt 5 - More is revealed involving Kurt's death, and it puts Daniel and Kurt at odds once again. A mole is exposed within The Agency and Haunt must come to a decision involving his future. Do not miss the stunning end to the introductory arc of this hot new series.

Hellboy: BPRD: King of Fear 2 - While Liz and Abe lead a platoon of agents and soldiers into the Hollow Earth, Kate Corrigan tries to juggle work with romance. She travels to Austria to explore the ruins of Hunte Castle -- the haunted Nazi fortress where crime fighter Lobster Johnson died and Hellboy fought the Conqueror Worm -- where she hopes to place Lobster Johnson's ghost to rest and make him free the spirit of Johann Kraus.

Hitman Monkey 1 - You're digging him in this month's issue of DEADPOOL and you want to know more about him? How about his origin story? A troubled soul, set upon a path of vengeance he does not understand. An assassin without equal, trained in the most secret of killing techniques. A flesh and blood specter, haunting the killers of the world. A monkey

Lockjaw And the Pet Avengers: Tails Of Pet Avengers - They saved the world in LOCKJAW & THE PET AVENGERS...what've they been doing since? Find out in this super-sized special featuring Lockjaw, Redwing, and the rest of your favorite Pet Avengers take center-stage in their own spotlight adventures!

Punisher(9): MAX 4 - While Wilson Fisk makes his move on the leading crime families of New York, Frank Castle has problems of his own. Namely the sledgehammer-swinging hitman known as The Mennonite.

Spider-Man: The Amazing Spider-Man 620 - MYSTERIO'S made his big move and a criminal empire is his for the taking! Or is that just more sleight of hand? More mobsters! More mayhem! More magic tricks! And a fight to the finish with MR. NEGATIVE versus SPIDER-MAN versus MYSTERIO! The big question is: What prize goes to the winner?

Superman:TPB: All Star Superman: 2- In this follow-up to the award-winning ALL-STAR SUPERMAN VOL. 1, the Man of Steel goes toe-to-toe with Bizarro, his imperfect duplicate, and the new Zibaro, also from the Bizarro planet. Plus, more exciting adventures that take Superman across the universe and back in these tales from ALL-STAR SUPERMAN #7-12.

That’s all for me!  I’ll see you at the store!

And in February, we’re bringing in the creators of POPGUN 4!  More details to follow!

If you haven't been checking out our blog, you're missing out!  Go on over to www.jhuniverse.blogspot.com and bookmark it for constant updates and cool content like reviews and event coverage!

JHU Game Nights @ The Underground are still going strong!  For the uninitiated, Game Nights are now Monday, Thursday and Friday here at JHU 33rd Street, and Friday and Sunday in New Dorp.  Thursdays will always be TYPE 2 Tournaments (aka Standard Construction), Fridays (or Saturdays, as the case may be) will always be Draft nights & Sundays in New Dorp are open for Yu-Gi-Oh!, Pokemon and Magic!  Every Monday night Jim Hanley’s Universe in New York City is open for casual gaming!

As usual, Draft tourneys are $15 to enter, and you get 3 booster packs on top of your entry into the hottest Magic tourneys anywhere in Manhattan.

The Items of the Week are reeling from a week of crazy comic news...no Spidey 4?  Brightest Day?  What’s goin’ on here???

Adventure Comics 6 - Ever since Superboy returned from the grave, he has been obsessed with Lex Luthor, believing that there must be some good in the master villain somewhere. So for Luthor, it's time to put up or shut up. With Superman off planet, it's time to do some good for the planet earth. Superboy is willing to do what it takes to make Lex's dreams come true, but what Superboy will discover is that one man's dreams, are another man's nightmares.

Conan (2): The Cimmerian: Weight Of the Crown (One Shot) - Conan travels away from Cimmeria to search for a mercenary job that will bring him the fierce joy of battle and the spoils of war. Intrigued by a leader known as the "Mad King of Gaul," Conan joins a band of brutes who are defending the Aquilonian border from incursions and who enjoy living in a lush valley that the Mad King claims for his own. These warriors soon believe that Conan may be a more fitting successor to their leader than the supposed king's own son -- setting Conan on a potentially disastrous course!

Daytripper 2 - While traveling through idyllic rural Brazil, Bras and his best friend Jorge are having the time of their lives. Staring nature in the eye, learning more about the local people and customs – life is good and the future is bright. But when Bras meets the incredibly sultry Olinda, suddenly nothing is so certain anymore.

Iron Man: Invincible Iron Man 22 - The heart and soul of the Marvel Universe gathered to bring Tony back online…but when they flipped the switch, nothing happened. What do you do when the smartest man in the world is trapped inside his own subconscious? Doctor Donald Blake reaches out for a specialist…Doctor Strange! And meanwhile…the Ghost closes in, ready to assassinate Tony Stark once and for all.

Punisher(9): MAX 3 - Wilson Fisk's plot to become Kingpin of New York finally brings him face to face with Frank Castle, as well as drawing in a 97-year-old, shotgun-toting mob widow and a mysterious hitman known only as The Mennonite.

SHAZAM!: The Power of SHAZAM! 48 - BLACKEST NIGHT infects the Black Adam family when Osiris returns from the dead as a Black Lantern to terrorize young Billy and Mary Batson! Now powerless after the wizard Shazam deemed them unworthy in JUSTICE SOCIETY OF AMERICA #25, can the Batsons even count on the aid of Freddy Freeman, the new Captain Marvel?  Also, check out CATWOMAN #83!

Spider-Man: The Amazing Spider-Man 617 - The Gauntlet continues to close around Spider-Man in this heartbreaking story of love, loss and lust for power as the Rhino charges into Spider-Man's life, out to make a name for himself...by killing the Rhino?

Torpedo:THC: 1- The story of a gangster whose life is traced from the innocence of childhood to amoral adulthood, and nearly every stop explored along the way. Abuli's distinctive narrative builds the story over time and Jordi Bernet's masterful renditions of the title character are stunningly cinematic-Torpedo is the Godfather of comics, in both subject matter and execution.

X-Men: Dark X-Men 3 - Nate Grey, a.k.a., X-Man is back and he is not happy with the state of affairs in the Marvel Universe. So he goes straight to the man responsible—Norman Osborn—and it’s not for a nice chat. It’s X-Man vs. the Dark Avengers and Dark X-Men. Can this Omega class mutant survive this matchup?

That’s all for me!  I’ll see you at the store!

-Vito

GARTH ENNIS’ BATTLEFIELDS: HAPPY VALLEY #1 - England, January 1942: young Australian Ken Harding arrives at his first operational squadron, keen to play his part in the aerial attack on Germany as the commander of a bomber crew. Losses have been high and life expectancy is low, but Ken remains undaunted- until he meets his crew, a foulmouthed, battle-hardened bunch with no time for new boys who can't stand the pace.

GREEN LANTERN #49 - John Stewart comes face to face with his greatest failures, the planet Xanshi and his wife and fellow Green Lantern, Katma Tui. Plus, what does Fatality truly want with John?

HELLBOY: BRIDE OF HELL - A nineteen-year-old girl is kidnapped and Hellboy tracks her down to a remote clearing in France where she's about to be given to Asmodeus, in a strange tale of ghosts, demonic revenge, lost love, and King Solomon.

LAST DAYS OF AMERICAN CRIME #1 - In the not-too-distant future, as a final response to terrorism and crime, the U.S. government plans in secret to broadcast a signal making it impossible for anyone to knowingly commit unlawful acts. To keep this from the public, the government creates a distraction, installing a new currency system using digital charge cards. Enter Graham Brick, a career criminal never quite able to hit the big score. In a grand scheme, Graham intends to steal one of the charging stations, skip the country and live off unlimited funds for the rest of his life. But the media has leaked news of the anti-crime signal one week before it was to go live...and now Graham and his team have just a few days to turn the crime of the century into the last crime in American history.

UNCLOTHED MAN IN 35TH CENTURY AD HC - MEET DASH SHAW NEXT WEDNESDAY!  This book collects Shaw's acclaimed, genre-bending short stories from MOME. Also featured: 'Galactic Funnels,' about the parasitic relationship between an artist and his lover/mentor; 'Satellite CMYK,' a sci-fi mindwarp that ingeniously drives the narrative through Shaw's masterful control of color, and 'Making the Abyss,' a fictionalized story of a surreal film set filled with nuclear tanks, hot tubs, and blind ambition.

That’s all for me!  I’ll see you at the store!

Our next GRAPHIC NOVELS: SPEAK ON IT will be on January 6th.  Charles and JJ will be discussing a new classic: ASTERIOS POLYP!  Look for a special offer the week of the next meet-up!

If you haven't been checking out our blog, you're missing out!  Go on over to www.jhuniverse.blogspot.com and bookmark it for constant updates and cool content like reviews and event coverage!

JHU Game Nights @ The Underground are still going strong!  For the uninitiated, Game Nights are now Monday, Thursday and Friday here at JHU 33rd Street, and Friday and Sunday in New Dorp.  Thursdays will always be TYPE 2 Tournaments (aka Standard Construction), Fridays (or Saturdays, as the case may be) will always be Draft nights & Sundays in New Dorp are open for Yu-Gi-Oh!, Pokemon and Magic!  Every Monday night Jim Hanley’s Universe in New York City is open for casual gaming! Bring a friend or a playgroup from 6PM-10PM to play your favorite trading card, role-playing, or collectible model game!

Now, every Saturday beginning at 2:00pm Jim Hanley's Universe presents Magic: The Gathering drafts! As usual, Draft tourneys are $15 to enter, and you get 3 booster packs on top of your entry into the hottest Magic tourneys anywhere in Manhattan.  This Saturday, we’re actually going to start early...bring them cards at 12:00 PM!

The Items of the Week can only say, “If you can’t find a present in this week’s batch, you’re not lookin’ hard enough!”  They said it, not me!

Avengers: Dark Avengers 12 - The Dark Avengers are pitted against a foe they cannot defeat: A man with the power over every molecule in the world! Norman can't talk his way out of this one as the world gets turned upside down and no joke...someone dies. For reelz!!

Brave And the Bold (2) 30 - No evil shall escape Fate! As a man who makes his own rules, headstrong Green Lantern Hal Jordan isn't a big believer in fate... But he'll have to put his trust in the Doctor if either man expects to overcome this threat!

Captain America: Reborn 5 -  Steve Rogers is back...or is he? This is the action-packed finale of the best-selling series as the Avengers try to rescue their best and brightest from the Red Skull's darkest designs. Find out the fates of Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes and what their futures hold in store!

Daredevil(2) 503 - While the Kingpin secretly builds his power base, Daredevil and Master Izo collide violently over the future of the guild of assassins known as The Hand, and Foggy fears the Matt Murdock he once knew may be gone for good.

Ditko:HC: Art Of Steve Ditko - Steve Ditko, the co-creator of Spider-Man and Dr. Strange, remains an enigma, though this book draws us closer to the artist and gives us a better understanding of his amazing work. Introducing the very best of rare and striking Ditko comic book stories and original art, this large-format beautifully showcases Ditko's work, with many reproductions of original art pieces by the master comic book artist.

Gelaskins:iPhone: Buffy: The Vampire Slayer - Over the years, Dark Horse has been committed to incorporating art into our everyday lives through prints, T-shirts, mugs, and a variety of other items that help make this world more colorful. Now Dark Horse is proud to collaborate with GelaSkins to bring an ongoing program of new designs to their line of protective skins for laptops and phones.  And Buffy is just the tip of the iceberg!  Check out all the designs!

Green Lantern Corps 43 - Red rain falls! As the Black Lanterns continue their reign of terror and chaos on Oa, things go from bad to worse when a horrible loss for the Green Lantern Corps results in Guy Gardner becoming so enraged that he becomes a Red Lantern! And hell breaks loose as the Central Power Battery faces an attack from the newly arrived Black Lantern Corphans!

Incorruptible 1 - Super villain Max Damage had an epiphany the day The Plutonian destroyed Sky City. When The Plutonian turned his back on humanity, Max Damage decided to step up. Now Max Damage has changed his name to Max Daring and turned from his formerly selfish ways to become Incorruptible.

Next Issue Project: Silver Streak Comics #24 - THE NEXT ISSUE PROJECT is an ongoing series of comics that continues a classic cancelled title! All stories are complete, self-contained, cool as all hell! All books are Golden Age sized, but these aren't simply an homage to Golden Age comics: They're updated classics for a new generation by modern masters.

Rocketeer:THC: The Complete Collection 1 - The Complete Rocketeer saga is collected into one handsome hardcover volume for the very first time, combining The Rocketeer and The Rocketeer: Cliff's New York Adventure into great book. Long considered a classic, the Rocketeer has been out of print for years. Now, with the blessing and full cooperation of the Dave Stevens estate, the Rocketeer will be collected as one book and with ALL-NEW COLORING by Laura Martin

Thor:TPB: Ages Of Thunder - Told by superstar writer Matt Fraction (Invincible Iron Man) and luxuriously rendered with bristling action tableaus by a veritable godly pantheon of artists, it is a Thor epic for the ages. Collecting THOR: AGES OF THUNDER ONE-SHOT, THOR: REIGN OF BLOOD ONE-SHOT, THOR: MAN OF WAR ONE-SHOT and THOR GOD-SIZED

Transformers: Ongoing 2 - After the shocking events at the end of last issue, the AUTOBOTS are in total disarray. An unexpected leader rises, and unlikely alliances are made!
               
X-Men: The Astonishing X-Men(3) 33 - Dead mutants turned into biological weapons…genetically-reprogrammed Brood sleazoids…missing data on Henry McCoy's research computers…the truth about what Abby Brand was trying to burn out on Cruithne. It all adds up to an attempt to remove mutantcy from the planet Earth entirely -- and the rise of the Bio-Sentinels.

That’s all for me!  I’ll see you at the store!

-Vito

Bring a friend or a playgroup from 6PM-10PM to play your favorite trading card, role-playing, or collectible model game!

The Items of the Week want to snuggle with you in this cold weather!

Adventure Comics 5 - The Black Lanterns have forced Prime to face his deepest and darkest fears, but what - and who - are they? And how will Superboy-Prime strike back after this devastating attack?  Plus, Conner Kent faces off with Superman's greatest enemy!

Avengers: New Avengers: Annual 3 - Clint Barton is in custody and that leaves not only Barton's life in severe jeopardy but all the New Avengers are at serious risk. So the ladies of the Avengers ban together to do what they have to do in a double-sized blockbuster Avengers story with a startling new chapter in the life of Jessica Jones.

Iron Man: Invincible Iron Man 21 -  Tony's closest friends and lovers have gathered to try and help the man rebuild his shattered consciousness, body, life and legacy...but when Tony gets the call, does he WANT to come back? CAN he...even with Dr. Strange, Master of the Mystic Arts, bridging the gap between the two worlds? And you didn't think the bad guys were going to just sit back and let Tony rest and recuperate, did you?

Murderer: Pilot Season 2009 1 - From the creative minds of Image partners Robert Kirkman & Marc Silvestri! This is the story of a murderer. But this killer only hunts and murders people who deserve it, before they can hurt others. The only question is how does he select his victims?

Punisher(9): MAX 2 - Learn how mob bodyguard Wilson Fisk became the hard-bitten, brutal man he is today, as his plan to become the most powerful crime figure in New York springs into action. The rise of the Kingpin continues, though not if Frank Castle has anything to say about it.

Walking Dead (2) 68 - Another stranger is encountered on the way to Washington. The information this man brings could change everything for the survivors.

Wolverine: Under Boardwalk (One-Shot) - Forty years ago, Logan spent one amazing night with a cocktail waitress -- and witnessed a murder. Now an anonymous tip summons him to Atlantic City, promising answers to a gangland mystery spanning the decades. But as Logan slashes and claws his way toward the truth, he finds himself caught between an old flame and a fiery young woman -- at least one of whom hides a deadly secret.

X-Men: Dark X-Men 2 - X-MAN, A.K.A. NATE GRAY IS BACK! Sadly, the X-Men that he first encounters are Norman Osborn's X-Men and they don't like the idea of an Omega-level mutant that won't tow the company line. Do they have a chance of defeating X-Man? And if they don't, what does that mean to Osborn's agenda?

That's all for me!  I'll see you at the store!

-Vito

The Items of the Week are goin’ ice skatin’!

Avengers: Dark Avengers: Annual 1 - Captain Marvel a.k.a. Marvel Boy found out he was surrounded by madmen and villains and ran for the hills. But no one gets out of Osborn's grip that easy…Will a new hero rise in the Marvel Universe or will Captain Marvel be seduced to the dark side? Also, the Sentry's true self revealed!

Blackest Night: The Flash 1 - The Flashes of Two Cities - Barry Allen and Wally West - battle the undead Rogues. Will the legendary speedsters be able to handle the Black Lantern Rogues' revenge? Plus, witness the resurrection of Barry's greatest enemy, the Reverse Flash in this hyper-speed miniseries event!

Blackest Night: Wonder Woman 1 - Black Lantern Maxwell Lord has risen and he seeks revenge and retribution for his murder at the hands of Diana. Look for unexpected changes to await Wonder Woman in the course of this series as she plays a major role in the War of Light against the Blackest Night.

Empowered: One Shot - Even as costumed crime fighter Empowered fights a desperate battle against a functionally invulnerable, grave-robbing supervillain inside a secret underground mausoleum for fallen superheroes, back at Emp's apartment, the alien demonlord imprisoned upon her coffee table spins a tempestuous tell-all tale of the often-struggling heroine's deepest secrets .

Haunt 3 - Daniel Kilgore now finds himself entrenched in his brother Kurt's secret life of espionage and murder. Finally the two of them meet someone who can explain their other-worldly situation and at long last a few secrets are revealed as we learn more about Haunt and what makes him tick.

Hulk: Fall Of Hulks: Alpha (One-Shot) - M.O.D.O.K. The Leader. Mad Thinker. Egghead. Red Ghost and the Super-Apes. Doctor Doom. They make up the secret group who have analyzed every victory and every defeat in the Marvel Universe to create the perfect battle plan that results in FALL OF THE HULKS! The origins and shocking truths of some of Marvel's most dangerous villains are revealed as the biggest HULK EVENT yet begins!

Jonah Hex (2) 50 - Jonah Hex discovers a secret being kept by Tallulah Black that could change everything Hex is about. But happiness has no place in the life of Jonah Hex, so what kind of tragedy awaits our disfigured gunslinger?  Illustrated by Darwyn Cooke!

Popeye:HC-Comp: 4-Plunder Island - With this fourth volume, Segar’s Popeye reaches one of its highest peaks in “Plunder Island,” the glorious, epic-length Sunday-continuity adventure that ran for eight months and pitted the intrepid sailorman against the malevolent Sea Hag and her terrifying, grotesque sidekick the Goon — helped, and sometimes hindered by, the easily corruptible J. Wellington Wimpy. “Plunder Island” is presented here for the first time in its complete, full-color, uncut glory!

Siege: The Cabal 1 - Remember when you were first introduced to the Cabal, the gathering of the most sinister members of the Marvel Universe, and you said to yourself: Well, that's going to blow up in everyone's face! Well, you were right and it happens right here!! Norman Osborn faces off with Doctor Doom and his mysterious threat to Doom is revealed.

And don’t forget WINTER GUARD, by two of our guests this week, High Moon’s David Gallaher and Steve Ellis! Tthe Winter Guard, they have sworn to protect the people of Russia. But, who will protect them when The Presence's schemes threaten to claim one of their own?

That’s all for me!  I’ll see you at the store!

The Items of the Week

Blackest Night #5
The moment you've hungered for finally arrives! Who controls death in the DC Universe? NEKRON - Lord of the Undead! The dark being behind the undead Black Lanterns makes his presence and purpose known, and our heroes discover they're not only fighting for their lives, but their after-lives as well. Don't miss this game-changing issue from superstar writer Geoff Johns and stellar artist Ivan Reis!

Green Lantern #48
BLACKEST NIGHT continues! Agent Orange and his Orange Lanterns face off against the Black Lantern Corps, and Larfleeze finds himself wanting something he never has before: Help. Meanwhile, Saint Walker comes face-to-face with the one being in the universe he has no patience for – Sinestro!

Ultimate Comics Avengers #4
It’s an all out super hero throw-down! Captain America and The Avengers face-off as the dreaded Red Skull plots universal mayhem! How will Fury’s death squad cope with the legend and his son? The world as we know it is on the line! Join superstars MARK MILLAR and CARLOS PACHECO for the next mind-blowing chapter! Parental Advisory

New Avengers #59
Aw, it’s been a long long time since Spider-Man and Spider-Woman had some alone time. Some nice quality time. Too bad this isn't that time. We'd tell you who they are fighting here but it'll spoil some big goings on in the issues you haven't read yet. From the dashing duo of Brian Bendis and Stuart Immonen!

Iron Man #20
The World's Most Wanted is now the World's Most Shattered... how does Tony Stark come back from the events of the last year? How CAN he? Is he even alive? Sort of... The Eisner Award-winning title for BEST NEW SERIES kicks off a new story arc leading into this summer's double-sized 25th issue extravaganza here with STARK: DISASSEMBLED!

Thor: Defining Moments Giant-Size #1
Have the events of this arc not been shocking and gut-wrenching enough for you so far, dear readers?! All bets are off as the curtain falls – will friendly faces and a new, long-lost ally make all the difference for Thor? What are Loki’s treacherous plans for the Asgardians in their new home of Latveria…and does the scheming Dr. Doom have an agenda of Doom’s own? How will the humble, Earth-born Bill aid Balder, Asgard’s rightful ruler…and at what cost? You won’t want to miss this landmark issue of the critically acclaimed, mega-hit, Eisner-nominated THOR!

Detective Comics #859
Batwoman's origin continues! In "Go!" part 2, Kate Kane is outed and forced to leave West Point. When she lands in Gotham City, she meets officer Renee Montoya and has a fateful encounter with The Dark Knight that will forever change her life!

Criminal #2
FROM THE CREATORS OF INCOGNITO -- THE AWARD-WINNING CRIME SERIES IS BACK! One of the most award-winning and acclaimed comics series of the last several years continues – A special artistic gut punch for longtime fans or those who’ve recently gotten hooked on Brubaker and Phillips hit series INCOGNITO! Made men are turning up dead in what appear to be mob-style hits, and since criminals don’t go to the cops for justice, TRACY LAWLESS has been appointed the defacto “sheriff” of the criminal underworld by his boss, Crimelord Sebastian Hyde. But Tracy is the ultimate outsider, and the cons, murderers, and thieves don’t like or trust him any more than the police do.

Justice League Cry For Justice #5
Supergirl and Shazam join the team as Prometheus is finally captured! His evil machinations are revealed, but even so, the League may be unable to stop the villain's disturbing plans as he cuts down one of the members! Don't miss this shocking new issue that'll have everybody talking.

Image United
THE CROSSOVER EVENT OF THE CENTURY IS HERE!
The heroes of the Image Universe are united in order to fight the greatest threat the world as ever faced! You can’t miss this historic event as the original Image Founders draw all the characters they made history with. Each page is an amazing jam piece – it’s a story told in a way never before attempted in comics!

That’s all for me!  I’ll see you at the store!

The Items of the Week can’t—wait, the Steelers lost to the Bungles????

Avengers: Dark Avengers 11- The Dark Avengers are pitted against a foe they cannot defeat: A man with the power over every molecule in the world! Norman can't talk his way out of this one as the world gets turned upside down and no joke...someone dies.

Brave And the Bold (2) 29 - A thing that lives… and fights for its soul! The shambling walking doll that is Brother Power, the Geek has been reborn in Gotham City without a home or purpose! Could destiny have something in store for this seemingly lost relic? And why does his appearance cut into Batman's heart like none of Gotham's strange monsters ever has before?

Dark Reign: The List: Amazing Spider-Man (One-Shot) - Norman Osborn has saved the best for last as he takes on the most personal item on his evil To-Do list. The violent tension between Spider-Man and Norman has grown for years and has been building to a boil for the last few months after Osborn’s last defeat at Spidey’s hands at the end of America Son. Norman can no longer put off what needs to be done.

Dr Horrible: One Shot - n this one-shot comic, Zack Whedon and artist Joelle Jones (Token) establish how a young, impressionable, but brilliant Dr. Horrible was drawn into a world of crime. Readers are reacquainted with the charming, brawny, crime-fighting superhero extraordinaire Captain Hammer when Dr. Horrible crosses paths with his greatest enemy in an all-out showdown of immeasurable proportions.

Irredeemable 8 - Casualties are in the millions. Panic has swept through the world. And the Paradigm have learned that in order to stop Plutonian they may have to embrace history's deadliest criminal. Can Plutonian's nemesis, the super criminal Modeus, be trusted in the face of Armageddon?

Punisher(8) 11 - In the belly of New York, skulking and forgotten creatures of the night uncover the remains of a man in a familiar outfit. Frank Castle is dead. What exactly IS Frankencastle?

Spider-Man: The Amazing Spider-Man 612 - THE GAUNTLET begins here!  Destitute and desperate, conned out of his life's meaning and worth—Max Dillon becomes the voice of the common man against the brutal injustice of a system overloaded by greed. With Spider-Man already looking over his shoulder.

Finally, for this week’s Blackest Night promo rings, you need to pick up ADVENTURE COMICS #4 (Blue) and THE OUTSIDERS #24 (Violet).  One per customer while supplies last, ya heard?

That’s all for me!  I’ll see you at the store!

Happy Wednesday, everybody!

This WEDNESDAY,  NOVEMBER 4th at 7:00 pm to  9:00 pm, a truly exciting event for lovers of sequential art!  Charles M. Bradley and J. Edward Jackson Present Graphic Novels: Speak on it!  Express your views with other readers! Share your passion with people who are new to the art form!  Everything is discussed in a fun and insightful manner! Don’t miss out! Be heard! Speak on it! First book to be discussed: Y, the Last Man: Volume 1!

On Saturday, NOVEMBER 14, Miguel Cima brings his documentary, DIG COMICS to JHU.  And we’re having a panel discussion with some of comicdom’s biggest brains as well!  Come check it out; Miguel is a personal friend of mine and this documentary has been getting tons of rave reviews all over the country!

On Saturday, November 21, our very own resident cartoonist, Rachel Freire will be hosting a Comics/Comedy Night in the JH Underground!  Some rising stars, and an open mike...if you want to laugh, bring your touchas down!

We have a few more events for November, but we have to hold off on announcing them until next week.  BUT, we can announce our FINAL signing of the year...and it’s a doozy!

For our YEAR END SPECTACULAR, we are bringing in STUART MOORE (Wolverine: Under the Boardwalk), FRED VAN LENTE & DENNIS CALERO (X-Men Noir 2), DAVID GALLAHER & STEVE ELLIS (High Moon and the new Winter Guard mini series).  And possibly more!  Come in on WEDENSDAY, December 2nd at 6:00 and don’t be late!!!

If you haven't been checking out our blog, you're missing out!  Go on over to www.jhuniverse.blogspot.com and bookmark it for constant updates and cool content like reviews and event coverage!

JHU Game Nights @ The Underground are still going strong!  For the uninitiated, Game Nights are now Monday, Thursday and Friday here at JHU 33rd Street, and Friday and Sunday in New Dorp.  Thursdays will always be TYPE 2 Tournaments (aka Standard Construction), Fridays (or Saturdays, as the case may be) will always be Draft nights & Sundays in New Dorp are open for Yu-Gi-Oh!, Pokemon and Magic!  Every Monday night Jim Hanley’s Universe in New York City is open for casual gaming! Bring a friend or a playgroup from 6PM-10PM to play your favorite trading card, role-playing, or collectible model game!

The Items of the Week voted for J. Jonah Jameson for Mayor.  Take that, Bloomberg!

Captain America: Reborn 4 - Steve Rogers, the original Captain America - trapped in time! Bucky and Sharon Carter - in the hands of the enemy! As Dr. Doom and the Red Skull make a terrifying pact that could destroy what Captain America means forever!

Criminal:HC-Comp: Omnibus - This oversized deluxe hardback edition features CRIMINAL books 1 thru 3. Also features many extras - including a Criminal short story and the never-before-printed five page "movie trailer in comics form" that Brubaker and Phillips created to announce the series online... illustrations, selected articles, behind the scenes looks, painted covers... and much much more!
                                           
Haunt 2 - Daniel Kilgore is pulled deeper into his estranged brother Kurt's secret life of murder and espionage. Still haunted by Kurt's ghost, Daniel tries to figure out the secrets of HAUNT and his new abilities--all the while, protecting the people around him from the assassins who murdered his brother and set this whole story in motion.

Johnny Cash:SC-GN: I See A Darkness - Graphic novelist Reinhard Kleist depicts Johnny Cash's eventful life from his early sessions with Elvis Presley, through the concert in Folsom Prison, his comeback in the 1990s, and the final years before his death.

Oz: Marvelous Land Of Oz 1 - Join new characters Tip and Jack Pumpkinhead as they’re whisked to Oz, and meet foes and friends! You’ve NEVER seen L. Frank Baum’s masterpiece like this before

Strange Tales (6) 3 - Marvel is proud to present the final issue of this hotly anticipated three issue anthology showcasing Marvel’s greatest characters re-imagined by the best and brightest talents working in independent comics today. Don’t miss what’s sure to be one of the most exciting collections of comics short stories ever produced!!!!

Stumptown 1 - Dex is the proprietor of Stumptown Investigations, and a fairly talented P.I. Unfortunately, she's less adept at throwing dice than solving cases. Her recent streak has left her beyond broke-she's into the Confederated Tribes of the Wind Coast for 18 large. But maybe Dex's luck is about to change.   

Sweet Tooth 3 - Hunters, cultists, mutants and shantytown pimps all want a piece of Gus, the boy with deer antlers. All that stands between them and him is Jepperd, a killer from the apocalyptic wasteland with motivations of his own. As Gus goes out into what's left of the world, he'll find out that no one is quite what they seem.

X-Men: Deadpool Team-Up 899 - Everyone's favorite Merc with a Mouth stars in a third on-going series, hacking and wisecracking his way across the Marvel Universe with a new guest-star every month! First up: when master assassin ARCADE and NIGHTMARE, Lord of the Dream Dimension, join forces to destroy Wade Wilson and THE INCREDIBLE HERCULES, they get more than they bargain for, taking on two of the MU's most irresponsible heroes!

X-Men: The Astonishing X-Men(3) 32 - The X-Men have fought towering, mutant-slaying robot Sentinels before. But never one quite like this. Never a Sentinel made of meat and bone, wearing the skin of one of their own deceased teammates, every technological aspect given a biological solution. And as the X-Men fight for their lives, they’re left to wonder: What could this monstrosity have to do with THE BROOD?

And yes, we do have the Blackest Night promo rings.  This week, the Sinestro Corps Ring (Yellow) can be yours with the purchase of DOOM PATROL #4.  One per customer while supplies last, k?

That’s all for me!  I’ll see you at the store!

-Vito
