The Deep Dish...
- JUN082308 AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #569 NWD $2.99
ARTWORK: Erik LarsenARTWORK: Sal BuscemaIn a world where Norman Osborn is on the side of angels, and Spidey is a menace once more, Brand New Day might finally pay something back! Mmm, but I doubt it! The excessively familiar finally gets a twist as the Thunderbolts arrive in town to mess with Spidey -- while the web-slinger struggles with the onslaught of his former regular nemesis - Mac Gargan; aka Scorpion; aka Venom - and the return of the symbiote's previous owner - Eddie Brock! Brand New Day? It seems going back on the promises of the relaunch is slowly fostering our reinterest. How surprising.

- JUN080203 CATWOMAN #82 $2.99
ARTWORK: Darwyn CookeWe bid farewell to one of DC's strongest series for this decade!
Disappointing that Catwoman couldn't buck the trend of modern comics and continue far into the hundreds and beyond. Even more disappointing is that Darwyn Cooke, Ed Brubaker, and/or Cameron Stewart weren't on the menu to come back to send the title they relaunched off. Not sure what the reason behind this is, but with the stuff going on with Catwoman in Detective, you can understand her lightening her load!

- JUN080181 DC UNIVERSE LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT #1 $3.99
If you didn't have a sense of foreboding heading into Final Crisis, the last will and testament might change that. It looks like the old guard are all potentially on the chopping block as we head into the life threatening struggle against Darkseid, Libra, and the new genesis of the New Gods!

- JUN080184 FINAL CRISIS ROGUES REVENGE #2 (OF 3) $3.99
Captain Cold and the Rogues aren't what you'd call heroes, but they find themselves on the receiving end of the same treatment from Libra and the new Society of Villains! Geoff Johns returns to the Flash characters for the first time in years, bringing with him a reminder that Scott Kolins really can draw quite well! Not a bad place to start before the Rebirth of Barry Allen!


- JUN080182 FINAL CRISIS SUPERMAN BEYOND #1 (OF 2) $4.50
Despite the hefty price tag, this one sounds like a lot of fun!
Grant Morrison and Dough Mahnke team to touch on yet another unaccounted legacy of the original Crisis on Infinite Earths, throwing Superman into the ranks of an army of his interdimensional counterparts with the fate of the multiverse on the line!

- JUN082340 MARVEL ADVENTURES AVENGERS #27 $2.99
Writer Jeff Parker's final issue! Awww!

- JUN088064 MARVEL YOUR UNIVERSE SAGA PI
The price is right for this Marvel Universe recap that's sure to help bewildered fans much more than the sometimes misleading texts of Wikipedia. The spotlight is on the major events of the past five years giving you the chance to catch-up on Disassembled, Civil War, Death of Cap, and a host of other details leading to the Secret Invasion, unfortunately, including House of M. Bleh!

- JUN082360 NOVA #16 SI $2.99
- JUN082365 SHE-HULK 2 #32 SI $2.99

Infinite Wars favourite Super-Skrull finally enters the spotlight as the Secret Invasion rages on, but after the Skrull Empire shunned him in the wake of the Annihilation Wave, will the original power copycat aid his brothers in arms, or form unlikely alliances once again to thwart their plans? Nova and She-Hulk will soon find out!
