DARK REIGN HITS BIG THIS WEEK!
DARK REIGN: NEW NATION BY BRIAN MICHAEL BENDIS, GREG PAK, AND MORE ONE-SHOT SETS UP THE LANDSCAPE FOR THE MARVEL HEROES IN 2009!
After the steady build of last week's Secret Invasion: Dark Reign one-shot, Marvel is following it up with a few Dark Reign-related titles this week. Dark Reign: New Nation sets up the landscape of the Marvel universe, and several exciting characters that are about to start getting more of the spotlight. Expect to find out just what the hell Nick Fury's (and his Secret Warriors) role will be in this dark new time for the Marvel Universe. It also will be spotlighting lesser known characters like the Agents of ATLAS (from the awesome miniseries a couple years ago), and Skrull Kill Krew, as well as old favorites like Hawkeye and Mockingbird, and the return of War Machine in his own ongoing series. If you're a Marvel fan, you're going to want to snag up the Dark Reign New Nation one-shot this week! Click here to read more about Dark Reign New Nation!
DARK REIGN KICKS OFF BIG WITH MIGHTY AVENGERS #20 FEATURING THOR- A MUST-NOT-MISS ISSUE OF THE AVENGERS!
Another big issue this week is Mighty Avengers #20, which features a special DARK REIGN tie-in. The aftermath of Secret Invasion has left the Marvel universe in general disarray, and with Iron Man now shamed, and practically a war criminal... the Mighty Avengers (the team he put together..) are in a state of chaos.

If you haven't already been keeping up with Mighty Avengers, this is a perfect jumping on point. And, hey, guess what else? You get the God of Thunder too! They're saying the ending on this one is gonna blow your minds, so lets read it this week and find out! Click here to read more about Mighty Avengers #20!
INVINCIBLE IRON MAN #8: IRON MAN: A FUGITIVE? IS HE BREAKING INTO THE LIQUOR CABINET AGAIN? DARK REIGN CASTS IT'S SHADOW UPON THE ARMORED AVENGER!

The hints being dropped are he may even be a fugitive, responsible for war crimes.. and the real question is: Is Tony Stark hitting the bottle again?

GHOST RIDER #30 - LAST STAND OF THE SPIRITS OF VENGEANCE CHAPTER 3 COMES OUT THIS WEEK!!!
Ghost Rider is the best it's been in years! For the longest time, Ghost Rider was one of those characters that's visually cool, but the writers couldn't figure out a good story to run through it. Well, now, Ghost Rider is finally more than just a character that looks cool painted on the side of your uncle's '70s-style van. Jason Aaron has introduced all sorts of cool concepts (like the idea of there being a Ghost Rider for every region of the world, in every culture, because hey, why would God only care about America? And then having those Ghost Riders reflect their religions and cultures), brought back old characters, and turned Danny Ketch into one seriously evil dude.
