Cable & Deadpool Join The X-Men In The Race To Issue #200

This summer, after the events of the unforgettable X-Men #200, mutants in the Marvel Universe will become an "Endangered Species," but what role do the time traveler Cable and the "merc with a mouth" Deadpool play in this crucial moment in mutant history? The surprising answers arrive in Cable & Deadpool #41 & 42, hitting stores this June, featuring the X-Men and showing the events leading up to X-Men #200 from Cable's unique perspective. Just how have these events changed him? And what happens when Cable comes face to face with Deadpool once more? It's a story so big that we need two issues in June to tell it all!

That means you get double the dose of the comic that ComixFan's Alan Bergin described as a series in which, "you can pick it up knowing that you're going to have a good time."

Like the early tie-ins to such recent mega-hits such as Civil War and World War Hulk, Cable & Deadpool #41 & 42 are going to be hot—don't miss out on the issues that will redefine this series and provide the lead-in to the huge X-Men #200! With direct ties to this special anniversary issue, and new light shed on the recent major events in X-Men, Cable & Deadpool #41 & 42 are must-reads for X-fans!

World War…She-Hulk?

She-Hulk # 18 concludes the "Planet Without a Hulk" storyline and with it, Jen Walters finally confronts Iron Man for his involvement in her cousin's disappearance!

As an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D and a registered super-hero, Jen Walters serves under Tony Stark, but his actions against the Hulk have made her mad. And like any other green blooded Hulk family member (okay, the only other green blooded Hulk family member) you do not want to see her angry. She can be hard to handle when she's green.

Writer Dan Slott, artist Rick Burchett, and cover artist Greg Horn bring you the undercard match of the year. Jen "the Savage She-Hulk" Walters vs. Tony "the Invincible Iron Man" Stark! And hey, if She-Hulk can't take Iron Man down, her cousin is up next!

Unfortunately for Iron Man and the rest of the Illuminati, the Hulk isn't as far away as they would like. As a matter of fact…he's very close to home. Pick up She-Hulk # 18, as the Marvel Universe moves one step closer to the Hulk's return. Retailers are advised to check their orders on this issue as it directly ties in to the upcoming World War Hulk event.

The Pirates Plunder Marvel Illustrated in Treasure Island!

The Marvel Illustrated tradition of exquisitely rendered, nuanced adaptations of classic literature continues with Marvel Illustrated: reasure Island #1 (of 6), arriving in stores this June. Featuring Robert Louis Stevenson's classic tale of buried treasure and high-adventure on the great seas, as adapted by Roy Thomas and illustrated by Mario Gully, Treasure Island follows Jim Hawkins, sole protector of the fortune hidden with his father by pirate Billy Bones. The young Hawkins must now protect the treasure from the scurvy scoundrels in Bones' crew who've decided that it's time to get rich! You can't miss Marvel's adaptation of the novel that first taught us X marks the spot, that treasure is buried on tropical islands and showed us why we need talking parrots on our shoulders!

The critics continue to rave about the Marvel Illustrated line, applauding the high caliber of the adaptations—Jungle Book and The Last Of The Mohicans—thus far. "I recommend it without reservation," said Dan Head of PaperbackReader.Com of the Marvel Illustrated line. "It's a hell of a value in today's market."

Adam McGovern of ComicCritique.Com called the early Marvel Illustratedreleases, "some of the most immersively beautiful comic art you'll ever see."

Blake M Petit of Comixtreme.Com concurred, calling Marvel Illustrated's releases, "truly beautiful."

This June, there's only one place to find the most memorable pirate action around—Marvel Illustrated: Treasure Island #1! It'll shiver your timbers and lead you straight to adventure!
