Cable Versus Bishop For The Fate Of All Mutantkind!

The past, present and future of mutankind are at stake as Bishop and Cable wage war for the new mutant child in the near future! Cable #2, from the acclaimed team of novelist Duane Swierczynski (Moon Knight Annual) and Ariel Olivetti (Punisher War Journal) continues the sold-out series as Cable and Bishop do battle! It’s kill first, ask questions later as these former allies wage war! Meanwhile, heavily armed forces have their sites set on eliminating Cable once and for all!

Critics continue to hail Cable as one of 2008’s most x-citing new series. Steven Bari of ComicsBulletin declared the first issue to be, “Violent. Thrilling. Charming. Cable #1 is the beginning of a great action-adventure.”

“Any fan of the X-franchise, and Messiah Complex in particular, should be buying this book,” gushed Richard George, IGN.Com.

Paul Steven Brown, of ComicAddiction.Com, said, “I’m curious to see where this series will go in the next few months.”

Marvel urges retailers to check their orders on Cable, as the series ties into the red-hot Divided We Stand storyline and continues to affect the X-Men! Can Cable survive Bishop’s assault? Find out in Cable #2!

Spider-Man Faces An All-New Menance (Literally!) in Amazing Spider-Man #549

The thrice-monthly adventures of your favorite friendly neighborhood Spider-Man continue in Amazing Spider-Man #549 as the wall-crawler faces an all-new menace – the appropriately named Menace! (duh) Brand New Day continues as writer Marc Guggenheim (Wolverine) and Salvador Larroca (newuniversal) kick off an all-new story arc. And as if that wasn’t enough, superstar artist David Finch provides a jaw-dropping variant cover!

In Amazing Spider-Man #549, not only will Spidey have to contend with the newest addition to his rogues gallery in Menace, but he’s… being sued?! Plus, the mystery surrounding the dead bodies tagged with spider-tracers deepens! It’s more of that ol’ Parker luck for Webhead, but he’s about to receive a helping hand from New York’s newest, red-headiest super hero –Jackpot!

Brand New Day has been met with great reviews as the first issue of Spider-Man’s new era, Amazing Spider-Man #546, has sold out at Diamond (though copies may be available at the retail level). But don’t worry as Amazing Spider-Man #546 Second Printing Variant, with a new cover featuring the spectacular interior art of Steve McNiven, is on its way!

Marvel urges retailers to check their orders on all issues of Amazing Spider-Man, as the series continues to receive high profile coverage from Newsweek, Yahoo.Com, People Magazine, USA Today, The New York Daily News and more!

Now that Amazing Spider-Man ships thrice monthly, it’s three times the amazing, three times the action and three times your favorite super hero!
