Wolverine has been injured before, but never like this. Blasted with 5,000 rounds of
machine gun shells and lifted to the edge of earth’s atmosphere by a giant robot,
Wolverine was 85,000 feet in the air when he finally disabled the killing machine. Now,
after a horrendous descent and fiery crash into a rural Nebraska cornfield, he lies at the
edge of death, lapsing in and out of a coma as his body desperately tries to heal. And
that’s when things really get bad.
The men who sent the robot to destroy Wolverine have come to finish the job. The
townsfolk who witnessed the crash have gathered up a mob to hunt down and destroy the
alien that’s landed. And Wolverine’s fate just might rest in the hands of the strange little
girl who first found him in that dark cornfield. A strange little girl with an affinity for
taking care of odd creatures, and whose family holds a deep, dark secret hidden from the
light of day... House of Blood and Sorrow is an all new 34-page chilling story just in time

HELLSTORM: SON OF SATAN #1 (OF 5)

Written by ALEXANDER IRVINE
Penciled by RUSSELL BRAUN
Finishes by KLAUS JANSON
Cover by ARTHUR SUYDAN
“Equinox,” Part 1 of 5
When the Son of Satan is your best option, God help you.
New Orleans. The Big Easy. The membrane between our world and the underworld has
always been a little thinner here. Now, in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, the
outpouring of human misery has drawn demons like sharks to a bloodbath. What better
time for Damian Hellstorm --- a.k.a. The Son of Satan -- to pay a visit?
It starts with the doctor who delivers a baby that vanishes into the night. A doctor who is
devoured by demons wearing New Orleans PD badges. Demons who work for someone--
or something--that’s descended on the Big Easy and doesn’t’ give a damn who Hellstorm
or his father is. Something that’s harvesting body parts in a furious race toward
unspeakable purposes. This is The Son of Satan as you’ve never seen him before,
brought to you by acclaimed novelist Alexander Irvine (The Narrows), with searing art by
Russell Braun (Animal Man) and Klaus Janson.

hardened men scrambled for cover, Zakharov stood his ground. And what he did next --
what he did next has haunted the dreams of the mujahideen ever since. What he did next
showed them the depths of his resolve. That was years ago. Now, General Zakharov has
returned to these scorched plains with one thing in mind: Revenge on the man with whom
he played chicken on the grandest scale. That man is Frank Castle -- a.k.a. the Punisher --
and he, too knows a thing about resolve.

CRIMINAL #1

Written by ED BRUBAKER
Art & Wraparound Cover by SEAN PHILLIPS
This fall crime noir smacks you right in the face, as award-winning writer Ed Brubaker,
whose recent hits on Daredevil, Captain America and the X-Men have made him one of
the top writers in the field, joins best-selling Marvel Zombies artist Sean Phillips for
CRIMINAL, a new ongoing series from Icon. Navigating through a world of smoky
barrooms and double-crosses to present tales of heists, murders and cons, CRIMINAL is
determined to be different than any other book on the shelves today.
In our debut issue, we meet Leo, who can plan the perfect heist... but only if he can be
convinced the job is safe enough. See, Leo is not a shoot-first think-later guy; Leo is a
professional. But to some criminals, even professionals, the right payout is worth almost
any risk. So when an old friend and a crooked cop approach with a plan to seize millions
of dollars in contraband from an evidence transport van, Leo must make tough choices,
knowing there’s nothing you can trust less in this world than a cop on the take.
And as a bonus, each issue of Criminal will be packed with material, featuring a full
length continuing story, as well as back-up stories and articles about the crime genre in all
its forms from the pulps to the modern day.

ARES: GOD OF WAR TPB
Written by MICHAEL AVON OEMING
Pencils and Cover by
TRAVEL FOREMAN
For thousands of years, Ares, the God of War, has been the most violent and ruthlessly
efficient killer in Zeus’s stable. The Nuclear Option to be sent in when you absolutely,
positively, need to kill everything in sight. Now, Ares – who has invaded Olympus,
attempted to take over Earth, stood at the walls of Troy, and fought toe to toe with and
against Earth’s greatest heroes – has turned his back on Olympus and centuries of brutal
warfare to begin life anew on Earth with one goal: to raise his child. But what happens when
Olympus, under siege and in danger of falling, calls on its most violent son to come to its
rescue? And what happens if Ares refuses? Will Zeus destroy his son...and his grandson...to
save his city? This story brings together heroes new and old, uniting Hercules and the Greek
Pantheon with the Marvel Universe. Ares is the God of War, so we promise this is like no
heroic book Marvel has done before. Heads will fly and blood will flow between Ares and
anyone who stands in the way of his son. Collects ARES #1-5.
