World War Hulk...King of Manhattan?
In Avengers: The Initiative #5, written by Dan Slott and illustrated by Stefano Caselli, the team of new recruits heads into the war zone to save innocent lives, but they might have to look after themselves first when they come face to face with the Green King! Plus, Hardball must cope with the fact that the S.P.I.N. Tech he stole from Stark's lab was the one weapon that could have stopped the rampaging monster dead in his tracks. Meanwhile, Henry Gyrich dispatches the Shadow Initiative to deal with the Hulk, but who are these questionable heroes? Constrictor? Bengal? One...two...three enigmatic Iron Spiders? A line-up like this makes the Thunderbolts look like the Mighty Avengers! And the most terrible secret of all – who is Mutant Zero? Perhaps the rumors of a 199th mutant are true after all... Critics continue to praise Avengers: The Initiative, with Newsarama.Com' s Troy Brownfield saying, "If you're already reading Mighty [Avengers] and New [Avengers] . . .or even if you aren't . . . you need to take some Initiative." Meanwhile, World War Hulk: Front Line #4 smashes into stores, written by Paul Jenkins and boasting a trio of talented artists including: Ramon Bachs, Shawn Martinbrough (Detective Comics), and Chris Moreno (Sidekick). Front Line reporters Ben Urich and Sally Floyd continue their journey through the war-bound Harlem as they watch the Hulk swat General Ross's helicopters like so many pesky flies. Also, Detective Danny Granville is hot on the case of Arch-E-237's killer with the help of Korg! What is in store for these two duos of brave investigators? With the tides of battle in the Hulk's favor, will everyone just stand-by and watch as the Hulk takes over? Pick up Avengers: The Initiative #5 and World War Hulk: Front Line #4 to find out the next step in the war that's changing the Marvel Universe!

Thor #2 Strikes Like Lightning And Sells Out!
"I'm hooked so far," said Tim Janson of Newsarama.Com, calling Coipel's rendition of Thor, "perhaps the most powerful Thor we've seen yet." Richard George of IGN.Com deemed the issue a "must read" and gushed, "JMS is bringing a beloved character back with style." Series editor Warren Simons explained, "The Thunder God has returned to the Marvel Universe with a vengeance. We couldn't be happier with fan response to the first two issues of Thor, and things are just heating up. In issue # 3, JMS and Olivier bring Thor face to face with Iron Man, and Tony Stark is going to find out why it might not be such a great idea to clone a god..." With a titanic confrontation between former friends on the horizon, and the return of Marvel's most famous mythical kingdom, fans can't miss this second chance to pick up Thor #2. And, spinning right out of Civil War, it's Iron Man vs Thor in Thor #3! Lightning strikes once more, but when the dust clears, will Thor be the one left standing?
