DC COMICS

DC UNIVERSE: LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT
Written by Brad Meltzer; Art and covers by Adam Kubert and John Dell.

THE STORY: New York Times best-selling author Brad Meltzer (IDENTITY CRISIS, JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA) makes his return to the DC Universe—and superstar artist Adam Kubert (ACTION COMICS) is riding shotgun!

The final battle is quickly approaching. How do the heroes of the DCU prepare for the end? Whom do they approach and say goodbye to before they make the ultimate sacrifice? Featuring the entire DC Universe, Meltzer takes us deep into the hearts and psyches of our heroes. It's the day before you die. What would you do?

FAMILY DYNAMIC #1 (OF 3)
Written by J. Torres; Art by Tim Levins and Dan Davis; Cover by Sean Galloway.

THE STORY: Pyralis! Sirocco! Troylus! Terran! This is The Family Dynamic, defenders of Storm City who use their mystical Elemental Rings to battle the forces of evil. But what happens when members of their extended family want in on the superhero action? They say the family that plays together stays together – but does that count when they're playing the good guys? Find out in this exciting new 6-issue miniseries by writer J. Torres (WONDER GIRL) and artist Tim Levins (BATMAN: GOTHAM ADVENTURES).

FINAL CRISIS: SUPERMAN BEYOND #1 (OF 2)
Written by Grant Morrison; Art by Doug Mahnke and Christian Alamy; Covers by Doug Mahnke and J.H. Williams III.

THE STORY: To save the woman he loves, the greatest hero of all time becomes the pawn of ultra-dimensional forces when a wounded emissary from a world of doomed super gods comes to Earth on the eve of the Final Crisis. His mission: To recruit Superman's help against an epic, reality-spanning menace that originated in the Crisis on Infinite Earths!

Join the Man of Steel and his alternate-earth counterparts for a mind-blowing voyage to the edge of the DC Universe—and beyond! Can these super champions overcome their differences to beat the clock, find the ultimate treasure and save all existence from extinction?

Writer Grant Morrison and artist Doug Mahnke take you on an unforgettable, hyperdelic journey from the streets of Metropolis, through the 52 worlds of the multiverse, to the haunted court of the King of Limbo, in part one of this 2-issue Superman adventure!

With a unique 3-D section, eye-popping visuals and mind-boggling glimpses into the mysteries behind Final Crisis, Superman Beyond takes the Man of Tomorrow to new dimensions of action and excitement! This issue comes with a pair of 3-D glasses!

MARVEL COMICS

AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #569
Written by Dan Slott; Pencils and Cover by John Romita Jr. .

THE STORY: Spidey's a villain? Norman Osborn's a hero? What kind of crazy, mixed-up world is this? Next thing you'll tell us is that black is white and white is black...Or maybe that has something to do with VENOM, MISTER NEGATIVE, and the birth of an all-new Spider Villain! Or would that be an all-new Spider-Hero? Either way, True Believer, this is a 1st appearance you do NOT want to miss!

KICK-ASS #4
Written by Mark Millar; Pencils and Cover by John Romita Jr..

THE STORY: The most exciting new character of the year debuts as Hit-Girl slashes her way into the pages of Kick-Ass. She's nine years old, loves Hello Kitty and could rip out your windpipe before you even get a chance to plead for mercy. But where did she come from? And who is Big Daddy? Plus, Kick-Ass starts to find out what happens when you tick off the real-world criminals who have ignored him until now. Things turn ugly and that can mean only one thing...God, this comic is so good I could cry. And I'm very butch.

NEW AVENGERS #44
Written by Brian Michael Bendis; Pencils by Billy Tan; Cover by Aleksi Briclot .

THE STORY: The dark secret of the Illuminati. Marvel's most covert gathering of heroes has a secret so dark that they never speak of it, even to each other. And it could be what has brought about the Secret Invasion. From Secret Invasion author Brian Michael Bendis and Uncanny X-Men's Billy Tan.

RUNAWAYS #1
Written by Terry Moore; Pencils and Covers by Humberto Ramos.

THE STORY: Come see the beginning of a whole new Runaways! Comics legend Terry Moore (Strangers in Paradise, Echo) and super-star artist Humberto Ramos (X-MEN, WOLVERINE, SPIDER-MAN) run back to Los Angeles with your favorite teen heroes. But it's not the same city they left so long ago. The Runaways try to stay off the radar, but the sins of their parents won't make that possible...

SECRET INVASION: AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #1
Written by Brian Reed; Pencils by Marco Santucci; Cover by Mike McKone.

THE STORY: New York is full of Skrulls and Spider-Man... where the heck is Spider-Man, anyway? Now, thanks to Brian Reed (MS. MARVEL) and exciting newcomer Marco Santucci, Jackpot and the rest of the cast of Brand New Day must pick up Spidey's slack and go toe-to-toe with Super-Skrulls—including one that might just be Spidey himself!

Plus much, much more! So let's get to the list, shall we?
