NORTH 40 #1 (OF 6)

Written by Aaron Williams; Art and Cover by Fiona Staples
 
Somewhere in Midwestern America was a place called Conover County. When the old book was opened, and the runes therein used in haste and ignorance, a place of farms, simple folk, and small-town dreams became a den of monsters and nightmare. NORTH 40 is the story of those who survived and came to confront an even greater evil on the horizon - one that wouldn't just consume their flesh, but their souls as well. Heroes arise with power to bring against the dark: Wyatt, an unwilling protector of his former tormentors; Amanda, an apprentice to forgotten arts; and Sheriff Morgan, whose bonds with Conover County go back farther than even he can remember. See where it started, and watch where it's all going in NORTH 40 #1.
 
Created by Aaron Williams (PS238, The Nodwick Chronicles) and Fiona Staples (SECRET HISTORY OF THE AUTHORITY: HAWKSMOOR).

Writer Greg Pak teased, “For the past six months, James Rhodes, aka War Machine, has used his new cyborg body and weapons-assimiliating powers to plow through monsters and madmen in overseas hellholes from Santo Marco to Occupied Aqiria.  In issue #7, Rhodey brings the fight to American soil.  Get ready for major character revelations and massive action as we finally reveal the circumstances of Rhodey's life-changing injuries that led to his current cyborg form, throw Rhodey into battle against his deadliest enemy, and reveal a shocking new adversary no one's gonna see coming!”
 
 “Why is James Rhodes attacking a U.S. Army base? Why is American Eagle so damn cool? Is that a huge Ultimo head rumbling to life on page 8? Why do sites like IGN.com praise this series as ‘one of the best new titles to come out of Secret Invasion/Dark Reign’? Find out as writer Greg Pak unites with artists Allan Jefferson and Mahmud Asrar to explore the true cost of violence in WAR MACHINE #7!” said series editor Bill Rosemann.

Are You There, Jesus? It’s Me, Arvid or: How a Weird, Little Apocalyptic Jewish Cult Took Over the Entire World
By Arvid Nelson
 
The Roman Empire was a sloppy spiritual soup. Dozens of religions floated around in it, like so many meaty chunks. If you were going to place bets on which one would survive, Christianity probably wouldn’t have been your first pick. Or your second.
I mean, it was just another demented cult. Its members practiced ritual cannibalism--gross! The only civilized response was to round ’em all up and nail ’em all to crosses. That much was perfectly clear.
But a funny thing happened on the way to the forum, as we all know. When the final score was in, it was Jesus: 1, Everybody Else: 0. How, in the name of Christ, did it happen?
Well, the early Christians were sneaky. Rather than get rid of all those other religions, they ripped off bits of them and made them their own.
An old pagan holiday became Jesus’s official birthday, better known as Christmas. Never mind Jesus wasn’t actually born on that day. And never mind Jesus didn’t actually rise from the dead on Easter. What’s really important is Easter is an old pagan holiday.
So Christianity won… but didn’t we lose Jesus somewhere on the victory parade from the sacred grove to the cathedral?
Who was Jesus, anyway?
It’s something I tried to find in Rex Mundi, a murder mystery I’ve been writing for ten years (yes, ten). Now that Rex Mundi is finally coming to an end, I can proudly claim I have absolutely no definitive answers.
But I have discovered Christianity is a lot stranger than I ever imagined sitting in church as a child, my nanny dispensing Life Savers into my mouth like holy wafers to keep me quiet. Peel back the Sunday-school wrapper, and there’s a dark history of conflict and heresy.
Heresy. That’s what made popes wake up in a cold sweat late at night. They weren’t worried about Satan--would you root for the losing team of last year’s Super Bowl? No. They were terrified of the people who dared to call themselves “Christian” but refused to subscribe to the carefully crafted doctrine of the “Orthodox” Church.
Who were those heretics? Why did they terrify the Orthodox Christians so much? Read Rex Mundi and find out. I don’t personally subscribe to any of the conspiracy theories about Jesus, and the purpose of Rex Mundi has never been to upset, challenge, distort, or attack Christianity.
So just read it with an open mind. I promise, it will be a lot of fun. And you just might learn something about your faith, whether you’re Jewish, Muslim... or Christian.

GREEK STREET #1
Written by Peter Milligan; Art by Davide Gianfelice; Cover by Kako
You're a boy from the hood. You're brought up rough in a children's home, trying to stay out of trouble but usually failing. Then at 18 you decide to track down your mother. Within hours of finding her, she's lying naked and dead at your feet. So you run to Greek Street. And that's when your troubles really begin…

Boasting a cast of sexy strippers, murderous gangsters, body-snatching mad women and a disturbed young girl who can see the future, GREEK STREET is Peter Milligan's reimagining of those brutal and visceral tragedies that graced the Theater of Dionysus in Ancient Greece – bloody tales about incest, homicide, beautiful oracles, all-knowing choruses, kings, monsters and gods – played out on the mean streets of modern-day Red-Light London.

Milligan – best known for his super-smart Vertigo work like SHADE THE CHANGING MAN, HUMAN TARGET and now HELLBLAZER– joins forces with illustrator Davide Gianfelice (NORTHLANDERS) to create an epic ongoing series that's both familiar yet completely new and always with the bloody, visceral edge that makes it a Vertigo book. Take a trip to GREEK STREET where the old stories are not through with us yet.

This week we’ve got Deadpool #11 and the Merc with A Mouth is in for trouble! We checked in with series writer Daniel Way, who teased, “In this issue, Deadpool composes haiku and Bullseye becomes a vegetarian. HOLD ONTO YOUR SOCKS!”
 
Executive Editor Axel Alonso explained, “Deadpool square off against Hawkeye/Bullseye.  These guys hate each other so much, they kind of love each other, if you know what I mean.  It’s like neither wants to mayhem to end. Oh, and Deadpool will come up with the ultimate suit of armor to deal with Hawkeye’s arrows.”

SUPERMAN: WORLD OF NEW KRYPTON #4 (OF 12)
Written by James Robinson and Greg Rucka; Art by Pete Woods; Cover by Gary Frank: Variant Cover by Eric Canete
A new planet suddenly appearing in any space sector would demand the scrutiny of the Green Lantern Corps. When the planet in question is New Krypton and the space sector is 2814, it means Kandor City gets a visit from Hal Jordan and John Stewart, with Daxamite Sodam Yat along for good measure. But what starts as a good-will mission soon becomes a manhunt for some of the Phantom Zone's most deranged and dangerous criminals and leads ultimately to dire conflict between the Corps and Zod's Military Guild – with Superman caught in the middle!
