The Winter Soldier Targets Iron Man! The soon to be legendary storyline "Death of a Dream" continues in Captain America #27. The Eisner nominated team of Ed Brubaker, artists Steve Epting and Mike Perkins bring readers one step closer to the secrets of Captain America's death. With Cap's closest friends already shattered by his sudden death, will they be pushed past the breaking point when this issue ends? The series continues to earn rave reviews, with Newsarama.Com's Steve Ekstrom gushing, "I am 100% onboard this monthly gem. Further, I cannot honestly tell you who I like better—Mike Perkins or Steve Epting—both of these guys are amazing and with Frank D'armata coloring them both I may just jump out of my skin with the orgiastic amount of "eye-ball pleasure" I'm getting from this series!" We've seen Captain America's friends mourning…but now it's time to for some revenge! The Winter Soldier has Tony Stark (AKA Iron Man) in his sights, the Red Skull is mere moments away from completing his malevolent plan and that's only the tip of the iceberg! Captain America may be dead, but in Captain America #27, his enemies will soon find out that there are soldiers willing and able to continue the fight…to the death! CAPTAIN AMERICA #27 (APR072294) The Illuminati Return To Face The Beyonder…For The Last Time! The Secret Wars rocked the Marvel Universe and one unstoppable force pitted heroes against other heroes—the powerful entity known as the Beyonder! Now, in New Avengers: Illuminati #3 (of 5), the Illuminati—comprised of Mr. Fantastic, Black Bolt, Dr Strange, Professor X and Iron Man—are going to make sure he doesn't interfere ever again. This action packed story from co-writers Brian Michael Bendis (New Avengers, Mighty Avengers) and Brian Reed (Ms. Marvel) also reveals the Beyonder's untold origin…and how he's connected to one of the Illuminati's major players! Fan favorite Jim Cheung provides the gorgeous pencils for this issue, bringing you a titanic confrontation between the Illuminati and the Beyonder that you don't want to miss. Recounting untold tales of the Illuminati's involvement in Marvel's biggest moments, New Avengers: Illuminati has drawn rave reviews from critics. "It's the kind of story Bendis does best," raved Micahel Deeley of SilverBulletComicBooks.com. "It's an ideological battle at heart with characters motivated by their personal beliefs… In short, it's a uniquely Marvel story." As another unknown Illuminati tale is revealed, how will the rest of the Marvel Universe be affected? And just what will the Beyonder, a man with infinite power, do when confronted by our five heroes? Oh c'mon, you know there's only one way to find out—check out New Avengers: Illuminati #3, on sale this week! NEW AVENGERS: ILLUMINATI #3 (of 5) (MAR072103) The Hedge Knight Rides Again! One of summer's most anticipated sequels arrives this June, as Marvel Comics & The Dabel Brothers present the latest adaptation of George R. R. Martin's Hedge Knight II: Sworn Sword #1 (0f 6). Continuing the acclaimed comic book translations of the New York Times best-selling Hedge Knight novels, Mike S. Miller and Ben Avery return with Ser Duncan and his new apprentice Egg, now a year wiser since the original Hedge Knight mini-series. When it comes to adapting this popular George R. R. Martin series of novels, Miller and Avery are hit with fans and critics alike. "The Hedge Knight is well worth picking up and remains a stunning example of both the visual and literary potential of the comic book medium," raved Adam Volk of SFSITE.Com. A similar sentiment was echoed by Javier Lugo of SilverBulletComicBooks.Com, who described the series as, "A great story, an excellent adaptation, superior artwork and coloring in a well-priced package, George R. R. Martin's The Hedge Knight is certainly worth every penny spent." After Dunk & Egg encounter an aged knight named Ser Eustace, who soon accepts Dunk as his sworn sword, things seem to be looking up…but Eustace's other sworn sword doesn't take kindly to his new comrade in arms! And just what side did Ser Eustace take in the legendary Battle of Redgrass Field? Featuring a stunning variant cover by red-hot artist Leinil Yu (New Avengers), Hedge Knight II: Sworn Sword #1 is a can't-miss for fans of the original limited series—now available as a premiere edition hardcover. This June, the Hedge Knight rides again and you can't miss a moment of this epic limited series! HEDGE KNIGHT II: SWORN SWORD #1 (OF 6) (FEB072177)
