E xperience the original adventures of the sensational blockbuster of the silver screen—the Invincible Iron

Man! To the world, Tony Stark is a playboy scientist leading the-jet set life—the envy of every man and the object of every woman’s desire. But what they don’t know

is this debonair arms developer is secretly the Armored Avenger Iron Man! That secret may not last for long when the U.S. Senate forces Stark to divulge the secrets of Stark Enterprises. It’s not just political intrigue, though. There’s a host of villains and action galore, including classic battles with the Mandarin, the Incredible Hulk, the Crimson Dynamo, the Titanium Man and A.I.M.—not to mention the first appearance of the sultry Madame Masque and, soon-to-be star of Iron Man 2, the villainous Whiplash! Written by Stan “The Man” Lee and Iron Man heir apparent Archie Goodwin, with art by the master of the pencil, Gene “The Dean” Colan; the iron man of Iron Man artists, George Tuska; and E.C. Comics great Johnny Craig, these tales are the crème de la crème of Iron Man adventures. Collected in the oversize Omnibus format—including every story, every letters page and a host of extras—The Invincible Iron Man Omnibus is a must have for every Marvel Comics aficionado!

P eter Parker has a lot to be hopeful about. The Spider-Man is the beloved town hero;

President Franklin D. Roosevelt is in the White House; the spiraling economy is on its first steps toward recovery; and with Norman Osborn out of the picture, organized crime in New York has

lost its major player. But all is not well in 1934 America…dark forces are at play in the world, and a power vacuum in New York crime is quickly—and violently—being filled! Now Spider-Man must contend with a vicious new breed of killers, criminals, and maniacal death-dealers, reimagined from some of the greatest and deadliest foes of the Spider-Man!

X-Factor has relocated back to New York, and their first client is a keeper: Franklin Richards,

whose mom has disappeared and who figures that the premier detective agency in the Marvel Universe has the best chance of finding her. Except Reed Richards doesn’t seem especially cooperative in helping them locate his missing wife. What is he hiding, and does it have anything to do with the coming Darkness? Meanwhile, Val Cooper has some bad news for Monet: Her ambassador father has been taken prisoner by terrorists and she has less than 24 hours to find him before he winds up getting his head cut off on video.

from the moment Cable jumped into the time stream with the infant “mutant messiah,” he’s

had only one goal: keep Hope alive until she can choose her own destiny. But now, stranded on a planet in its death throes, eating fried rat on a stick for the millionth time, Hope turns to Cable and tells him she’s ready to go home. Thus begins “Homecoming,” the penultimate chapter in the x-Men saga that began with “Messiah Complex.” It’s not only zero hour for Cable and Hope, but also for the mutant hunting them, Lucas Bishop, who is rapidly running out of chances to save mutantkind and the world. Because if Hope does make it back to the present, everything changes for the x-Men.

No one knows why dragons have appeared in this world of heroes, but their very presence is re-

shaping reality. Their influence destroys everything, transforming men and beasts into monsters: a curse known as the Veill. Only virgin women are free of this curse and can get close enough to these terrors to kill them. And so, the Order of the Dragon Knights was created. Trained from childhood, they fight against all odds, including a world that refuses to accept them as women of power, the very same society they swore to protect. They fight to the death, because if they don’t, their entire world is doomed.

THE GAUNTLET begins! The event that redefines Spider-Man’s classic arch-enemies one by one

starts with one of his deadliest—Electro! Destitute and desperate, conned out of his life’s meaning

and worth—Max Dillon becomes the voice of the common man against the brutal injustice of a system overloaded by greed. Then the drama continues as one of Peter Parker’s closest friends is on the brink of ruin. This looks like a job for the Amazing Spider-Sleuth...and all clues point to the sinister SANDMAN! But all of Spidey’s classic villains are being reinvented as part of “THE GAUNTLET,” and Sandy is no different—so nothing is what it seems! Plus, the violent tension between Spidey and Osborn builds to a boil in THE LIST!
