$2.99MCFARLANE & KIRKMAN’S HAUNT CONTINUES!
Haunt faces off against Cobra for the second time – just in time to learn his weakness! Daniel Kilgore’s quest to find his brother’s killer and save the world just got a whole lot more difficult.
Even though I was underwhelmed and a little disappointed by the first issue, I plan on giving this series a couple more to find its feet before I decide to drop it.

$3.99THE CROSSOVER EVENT OF THE CENTURY CONTINUES!
The stage has been set, the pieces are in place – the battle for the entire planet begins here. The villains of the Image Universe are united against the world, but who’s pulling their strings?! You can’t miss this historic event as the original Image Founders draw all the characters they made history with. Each page is an amazing jam piece – it’s a story told in a way never before attempted in comics.
The first issue hasn’t come out yet, so I’m still kind of skeptical about this one. In the past, Image crossovers haven’t worked out too well.
