Spider-man goes noir-ish in this new Elseworlds-esque thing Marvel’s playing around with. I have no idea what to expect, but it the X-Men thingamagoogle was any indication, this should be pretty sweet.

What are you guys looking forward to?
In the previous issue, Secret Six #3, our favorite villains somehow got their hands on a “Get out of hell free” card made by the devil himself! This issue fills us in on exactly how a team of baddies reacts to a revelation like that, not to mention a whole cadre of other evildoers who are after them and the prized artifact!

Batman #680 seems to have ended with us finding out who the black glove really is and the caped crusader falling into the apparently conniving clutches of one Jezebel Jet. Batman #681 comes out this week and concludes the R.I.P. storyline. I have no idea what to expect from EJ and Alex, but I will say those two better not fucking spoil! — John

Deadpool #3 ended with Wade giving Nick Fury the old switcheroo involving some apparently vital Skrull data. Who did he give it all to? Why, only the most trustworthy civilian in the Marvel U, Norman Osborne! Duh! D’oh!

I am loving the Old Man Logan storyline by Millar and McNiven, so I can’t wait for Wolverine #69 to hit the stand this week. The last issue revealed the intentions of Hawkeye’s daughter/Rosario Dawson, so let’s see what Wolverine/Samurai X/Gandhi decides to do about it!!!
Not a big week for Marvel as far as I can tell, but here’s what else I can’t wait to grab this week:
CLEANERS #1 (OF 4)
ACTION COMICS #871
BATMAN CACOPHONY #1 (OF 3)
DETECTIVE COMICS #850
TITANS #7

What are you guys looking forward to?
For a lady, Amanda Conner draws some pretty hot superheroines, which is reason enough for me to look forward to Terra #1 (of 4) coming out this week. Just take a look at those boulders! Geddit?!? Badonk-adonk!

I honestly don’t know anyone who isn’t enjoying the current Thor run, and I have in fact never been a fan of the guy. Stracszynski and Coipel, what a team. Thor #11 comes out this week and I absolutely cannot wait.
Also out this week:
JOKER Hardcover
FERRYMAN #2
TRINITY #22
SUPERMAN BATMAN #53
MARVEL 1985 #6 (OF 6)
