US Avengers #1

You’ll be hailing to the chief with Marvel’s newest number one, US Avengers. The once diabolical A.I.M. is turning over a new leaf and helping to protect America from any dangers that threaten it with an all new team of superheroes. It’s the most patriotic team up ever as a motley crew of champions tries to save the day while dressed in red, white, and blue.

Faith #7

Valiant Entertainment’s Faith continues to fly high with a new jumping on point in Faith #7 (NOV161951). Writer Jody Houser is joined by artists Joe Eisma and Marguerite Sauvage as Faith faces what might her toughest trial yet! As a mysterious force is forcing Faith to confront the ghosts of her past -  literally – what will the unflappable hero do? As her mother, father, and even her fallen teammates pursue her; Faith must overcome her greatest fear or risk becoming a ghost herself!

Unstoppable Wasp #1

Nadia, the long lost daughter of Hank Pym, is finally free and ready to spread her wings in Marvel’s Unstoppable Wasp #1 (NOV160795). Spending the first half of her life as a captive of The Red Room, the very same program that created The Black Widow, Nadia has been liberated and is ready to explore the world.

Harley Quinn #11

Mad Love returns as DC Comics gives readers an all new jumping on point with Harley Quinn #11 (NOV160240). Harley’s been living life as carefree as someone with a psychopathic streak can after ditching the Joker and repaying him for years of abuse. But small reminders and tokens of their time together have been popping up in the most random of places, is it coincidence or is someone trying to send Harley a message? As Harley investigates the Joker she finds is not the one she remembers and a kinder temperament has taken hold of her once vicious love. Can this newer, kinder Joker be trusted or is Harley in for a world of hurt?
