This is it, kids--the skull–busting, chest–punching, punch–kicking conclusion to THE SEVEN CAPITAL CITIES OF HEAVEN. Seven practitioners of super kung fu, champing at the bit to bloody each other to a pulp. A rogue Hydra cell, intent on destroying K'un-Lun from Earth, loads its terror train full of explosives and prepares to fire it through a warp in space-time. A schism in the leadership of K'un-Lun threatens to tear the city in two. The original Heroes for Hire, outgunned, outmanned, and out of time somewhere in Tibet. And Davos, the arch-rival of Iron Fist, intent on exploiting all this chaos, wants to assassinate Danny Rand once and for all. When was the last time a comic melted your face off?

Sneak Peeks: Titles Shipping 3.19.08 (Part I)

Here are the opening pages of a few titles shipping next week: Captain America #36, Franklin Richards: Spring Break, Immortal Iron Fist #13, War Is Hell: The First Flight of the Phantom Eagle #1, and Iron Man #27.

There will be another batch of sneak peeks for next week available soon.

Captain America #36
By Ed Brubaker (writer), and Jackson Guice & Mike Perkins (art)


Franklin Richards: Spring Break
By Marc Sumerak (plotter/writer) and Chris Eliopoulos (plotter/artist)


Immortal Iron Fist #13
By Matt Fraction & Ed Brubaker (writers) and Tonci Zonjic, David Aja, & Kano (artists)


War Is Hell: The First Flight of the Phantom Eagle #1
By Garth Ennis (writer) and Howard Chaykin (artist)



Iron Man #27
By Daniel & Charles Knauf (writers), Carlo Pagulayan (pencils), and Jeffrey Huet (inks)




Initial thoughts:

I still stand by my earlier statement that Guice needs to be seen more. His Captain America is insane and I love it. This issue does not let you catch your breath from earlier issues. Franklin Richards is a guilty pleasure. Two words to sum up Iron Fist: "whoa" and "nelly". I wasn't sure what to expect with Phantom Eagle and I was pleasantly surprised with what I ended up with. This is a very good first issue. Finally, it's not an easy job being Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Thanks to Marvel for the previews.
