GI Joe #1 (Series Premiere)

In the biggest comic book launch of the decade, Conrad Hauser, Codename DUKE, has assembled a special force known as G.I. Joe to battle the rising power of the mysterious COBRA in the aftermath of the Autobots and Decepticons' arrival on Earth. But the enigmatic COBRACommander has unleashed the power of Energon like never before.

Justice League Unlimited #1

The Justice League is back and bigger than ever. The villain Darkseid's death has triggered a massive power vacuum in the DC universe, and Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman must unite and expand the Justice League to encompass every hero championing the forces of good in the face of incredible evil.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin

In a future, battle-ravaged New York City, a lone surviving Turtle embarks on a seemingly hopeless mission seeking justice for the family he lost. What terrible events destroyed his family and left New York a crumbling, post-apocalyptic nightmare? All will be revealed in this climactic Turtle tale that sees longtime friends becoming enemies and new allies emerging in the most unexpected places.

Kraven's Last Hunt

Kraven the Hunter has stalked and killed every animal known to man. But there is one beast that has eluded him. One quarry that has mocked him at every turn: the wall-crawling web-slinger known as Spider-Man. And to prove that he is the hero's master, he will pull on his costume and become him... after he shoots and buries him six feet under.

Please note: All our comics are also available on our website.
