Secret Warps: Weapon Hex Annual #1 - "The Inferno Gauntlet"

[laughing_tree]

It being BIG FUN will be good news to you if you're reading this because you like my work - in particular, my more optimistic, continuity-heavy, densely-packed superhero work. Because this is where Marvel gave me an entirely multiverse to do whatever I wanted with. -- Al Ewing

House of X #1 - "The House That Xavier Built"

[laughing_tree]

It's every bit as good as the hype suggests. Better even. Frontrunner for book of the year by my count. -- Matthew Rosenberg

It’s fantastic. And built to survive a Category 5 hype storm. It’s even better than you hoped. -- Gerry Duggan

The ideas it presents are thought provoking, unique, forward thinking and set the stage for a new X-Men era. From a storytelling perspective I am jealous and in awe of Jonathan Hickman and Pepe Larraz’ use of the comics language. A seriously brilliant debut. -- Lonnie Nadler

The stuff that makes me nervous about House of X is also what I like about it - It takes risks and does weird stuff. It's hard not to fall into patterns with long-running characters. Innovation requires risk. Jon's taking risks. -- Jim Zub

Brilliant, challenging, thoughtful, progressive and NEW. It pushes the mutantkind in a brand new direction. As a fan, I'm more excited than ever. As a creator, I'm in awe of it. -- Zac Thompson

Wow. Hickman's books read like he went into the woods for weeks and charted out a perfect lifetime for a world filled with ideas and emotions. -- Chip Zdarsky

The stuff [Hickman] has planned for X-Men, it really shakes things up. The first time he told it to me, I was upset. I was like, we can't do that. We can't do that. The more I thought about it, the more I went, wait, hang on, what if we did? -- X-Men Senior Editor Jordan D. White

Superman: Up in the Sky, Parts 3-4

[laughing_tree]

The Champion prepares to destroy the planet. And the Thing rises from the mat, his face full of blood and pain. And he says, “Ya’ll never beat me! I’m just too stupid…and ugly…ta know when to quit.” In my CIA days, I took this comic with me every time I went to some odd, maybe dangerous place. When I was scared, I’d read it. Too stupid and ugly to know when to quit. Exactly. -- Tom King

Absolute Carnage #1

[cyberghostface]

“Cletus Kasady is back, and he is deadlier than he’s ever been. Absolute Carnage encompasses every single character who has ever worn a symbiote and every symbiote that has ever been, going all the way back to when Peter found the black suit. Going from there to Maximum Carnage to Venomized to everything…everyone is a target.” -- Donny Cates

Archie vs. Predator II #1

[history79]

"Archie vs Predator 2 is, of course, about teenagers fighting the galaxy’s greatest hunters and, mostly, losing terribly. Lotta kids die. It’s also about corporate reboots, since both the main Archie title and the Predator franchise were rebooted after AvP 1 was released. So not only are the survivors of Archie vs Predator 1 fighting the new, improved version of the galaxy’s greatest hunters, they’re also fighting against their own obsolescence."

- Alex de Campi
