New Avengers has been a premiere top tier title for Marvel since it's original debut, and has continued to be one of the most exciting and consistent team books put out by Marvel Comics. This week in the pages of New Avengers 48, you can expect the shadow of Dark Reign to fall hard on the debut of an all-new roster and line-up for the New Avengers!

THE SECOND INSTALLMENT OF ULTIMATUM HITS THE SHOP THIS WEEK WITH ULTIMATUM 2!
The Ultimate universe is in complete and total peril, no, seriously, we mean it! Well, we're not sure where this one is going to end up, but I have to admit... the first issue? AWESOME. Magneto in his throne, with Thor's hammer by his side? Tidal waves destroying New York city? David Finch doing a full 32 pages of interior artwork? These are some of the reasons why we're excited about Ultimatum, and from what Marvel's been slyly letting slip.. big things are going to transpire in this miniseries that completely change the entire concept of the Ultimate-verse. You can read more about Ultimatum 2 here .
BATMAN 683 - PART TWO OF THE SPECIAL FINAL CRISIS/RIP AFTERMATH STORY ARC!
So, we all want to know just what the hell happened that bridges the events of RIP with the events of Final Crisis? Don't worry! This "Last Rites" two part story arc of Batman 682 and Batman 683 are here to help bridge the events, and explain just what the heck went down. The overall story of RIP turned out to be pretty damn exciting, even though the grand finale was a little anti-climatic, but Morrison has us hooked. Batman 682 thoroughly explored the history of the Joker, and touched on the idea of a Gotham City without a Batman, not to mention the link between Final Crisis and RIP. 683 looks to conclude that, and put a nice finish on Morrison's epic run.

DAREDEVIL 114 - LADY BULLSEYE CHAPTER 4! BRUBAKER'S MODERN DAY DAREDEVIL CLASSIC HAS GOT US HOOKED, AND THE NEXT INSTALLMENT IS DUE OUT THIS WEEK!
Ed Brubaker is one of our favorite writers working today. He's turned Captain America into a consistent monthly must-read, he completely fleshed out the Gotham City police department with Gotham Central (along with Greg Rucka), he (and Matt Fraction) turned Iron Fist into a relevant, and exciting character, he gives us fantastic crime noir every other month with Criminal, and now, with his Lady Bullseye story arc... he's made Daredevil into the heavyweight title it should be. In this issue, you're guaranteed more Ninjas than you can shake a katana sword at. Click here for a preview of Daredevil 114!

SPAWN 187 HITS THE SHELVES THIS WEDNESDAY! TODD MCFARLANE CONTINUES TO BREATHE NEW LIFE INTO HIS RED-HOT SERIES!

This week, issue 187 of Spawn, will be arriving, and this is the third installment of Todd McFarlane's run on Spawn.
THOR 12 MARKS 12 ISSUES FOR THIS AWESOME SERIES!
Thor has been one of the most consistent Marvel books to be hitting the stands, and JMS's run with Coipel on this series has been picking up more and more readers with every issue. Blending Asgardian lore, and legend with a modern day setting of the midwest... this interesting take on Thor and his fellow Asgardians has proven to be very interesting. In issue 12, we see Loki's manipulations begin to strongly surface, and Balder the Brave being seated as a new prince of Asgard as a result. Click here for a preview of Thor 12!
UMBRELLA ACADEMY DALLAS 2 @ THIRD EYE THIS WEDNESDAY!
The second installment of the red hot Dark Horse series from My Chemical Romance front man Gerard Way (yeah, yeah, we're not exactly mega-fans of the band either, but c'mon, the guy can write a good comic!) hits the racks, and we know you're pumped. This quirky, surreal take on the world of super-heroes is a must for fans of works such as Grant Morrison's Doom Patrol.
