Sebastian’s Top 5
Deadpool Bi-Annual #2 – By Paul Scheer, Nick Giovannetti and artwork by Salva Espin
Have you ever wanted to see the Merc With a Mouth throw down with a team of cybernetic, anthropomorphic animals? Well you’ve come to the right place because the gone (and also forgotten) 90s team of Brute Force makes their triumphant return to the Marvel fold in September’s DEADPOOL BI-ANNUAL #1! Written by Paul Scheer (star of The League & NTSF:SD:SUV) & Nick Giovannetti (Aliens vs. Parker) with art by Salva Espin (Deadpool vs. Carnage) – Deadpool is going to come face-to-snout with the some of the toughest and most absurd enemies he’s ever faced! When the Merc With a Mouth is hired by WaterWorld to protect their theme park from environmental activists, he had no idea that meant a heavily armed team of armored-up talking animals! A mechanized kangaroo with a machine gun is just the beginning! Don’t miss it when Scheer & Giovannetti take the Merc With a Mouth for a spin when DEADPOOL BI-ANNUAL #1 hits comic shops and digital devices this September!
Edge of the Spider-Verse #2 – By Jason Latour and artwork by Robbi Rodriguez
GWEN STACY: SPIDER-WOMAN!
• In one universe, it wasn’t Peter Parker bitten by the radioactive Spider, but Gwen Stacy!

• How is she involved in Spider-Verse? Seeds of AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #9 are planted here!
Superior Spider-Man #33 – By Christos Gage and artwork by Giuseppe Camuncoli, John Dell
EDGE OF SPIDER-VERSE

The Multiversity: The Society of Super-Heroes: Conquerors of the Counter-World #1 By Grant Morrison with artwork by Chris Sprouse, Karl Story
The biggest adventure in DC Comics history continues!
Grant Morrison joins modern legend Chris Sprouse (TOM STRONG, BATMAN: RETURN OF BRUCE WAYNE, ACTION COMICS) for a trip to Earth-20 starring a Society of Super Heroes unlike anything you’ve seen before! It’s pulp Super Hero action with a post-modern twist — you can’t afford to miss it!
Who is the demon-like Green Lantern protecting Earth-20? What secret does Doc Fate hold that could save the world? Who are the hand-to-hand and air-to-air combat queens known as the Blackhawks? And what happens when these heroes come face to face with their diabolical Earth-40 counterparts – led by Vandal Savage – for an epic war between parallel worlds? Find out all that and more in this exciting stand-alone issue which also acts as chapter two of the overall MULTIVERSITY storyline. Join us, if you dare, for THE MULTIVERSITY!
The Wicked + The Divine #4 Kieron Gillen and artwork by Jamie McKelvie
The mystery is solved. But does pop-god Lucifer like the answer? The answer is a word that rhymes with ‘Go’, ‘Blow’ and ‘Pro’. If you think the answer rhymes with ‘Cow’ I applaud you for your unconventional nature. It’s good to experiment. We’re experimenting with being Awesome for four issues in a row. JOIN US.

All New X-Men #32 – By Brian Michael Bendis and artwork by Mahmud Asrar
Dimension-hopping is something of an X-Men rite of passage and it’s about time the All-New X-Men took the plunge!

• But will the web they find themselves tangled in Ultimately bring about their end?
