Leave a comment

We are here in July my comic collecting friends and today is actually the fourth of July so I am glad to see a couple of this months first issue offerings are connected to the Captain America mythos. So not only is it the 2015 years halfway point, but its also the continuing presentation of the brand new “Secret Wars” storyline and this is going to change the very fabric of the Marvel Universe for years to come. Check out all of the new first issues that are coming out this month. Some are on the stands already for you to purchase while the rest are coming soon. With this month I also added a couple of second issues since they had the premise and artwork for me to share. Thanks Marvel. Let’s go.

"Age Of Apocalypse" #1
“Age Of Apocalypse” #1

Age of Apocalypse #1: His war has been won. The few humans left alive are enslaved, the mutant rebellion crushed. EN SABAH NUR, the APOCALYPSE, rules his BATTLEWORLD kingdom without mercy, but the terrorist X-MEN plan to end his reign. Success means finding one very special mutant named CYPHER and unleashing a weapon that will kill Apocalypse — and possibly all mutants, too!

Marvel Comics #1’s Onsale In June 2015

Leave a comment

Alright then my dear comic book maniacs we are into June which I’ve already noted as feeling like one hell of a fast surprise in another “Insights” narrative just days ago. Here we go with the Marvel Comics offerings in terms of the first issues and as we’ve also previously noted, they are in the beginning stages of the massive “Secret Wars” initiative and that is combining all of the various worlds of their stories and bringing them together for one big (dare I say it) New Universe. As we found with last month there are a lot of titles making this up and instead of parsing it into chapters I have instead alphabetized the month’s releases. Feel free to use this as a checklist when you hit the shops during June. Here we go.

"Age of Ultron vs Marvel Zombies" #1
“Age of Ultron vs Marvel Zombies” #1

Age Of Ultron Vs. Marvel Zombies #1: THE ULTIMATE DEATH SENTENCE IN BATTLEWORLD. There’s a place that’s so dangerous it’s walled off from the rest of BATTLEWORLD……where WILD ZOMBIES feast on those who’ve been banished for crimes against the state. where cold, mechanical ULTRONS destroy anything that’s human. Pity those who get caught between the two, for their death WON’T be fast and painless!
