District X #4

This is the "sleeper" hit of the X-Men: Reload books, written by David Hine with art by Lan Medina and Alejandro Sicat. Starring Bishop, it's more of a crime drama with mutants than a super-hero book. Why don't you find out for yourself all you've missed? This issue, while the effects of the new street drug "Toad Juice" become clearer, the mystery man Absalon Mercator makes his move. Meanwhile, Bishop and Ismael "Izzy" Ortega race against the clock to keep a disaster from erupting in Mutant Town. A "Do Not Miss" Book!

Marvel Knights Spiderman #5

Spidey doesn't have much time to recover form the events of the past four issues, as "Venomous" begins and (you guessed it!) Eddy Brock arrives in town. Mark Millar continues to put Peter through his paces in decidedly deadly fashion, and Frank Cho (Liberty Meadows) fills in on pencils to illustrate the madness! How much worse can it get for our Friendly Neighborhood Punching Bag?

Challengers of the Unknown #3

When five extraordinary survivors of a seemingly random terrorist attack begin to learn more about their personal histories, how will they react? At first, seemingly unrelated, they put the pieces of the puzzle together, just as the news media names them as the terrorist! How far will they go to uncover the truth, and who is behind the scenes, pulling the strings? Howard Chaykin has brought back DC's classic title in new and exciting ways, re-envisioning the concept from the ground up.

Bite CLub #5

Howard Chaykin is all over the place this week, with the release of the penultimate chapter in his Vertigo series, co-written by David Tischman. The story of a vampire crime family who runs the mob in sunny Miami, this book is much more than just your average vamp drama. As the story reaches its climax, Leto Del Toro learns more about his father's mysterious murder and undergoes some radical changes. Young Danny Del Toro has been going through some really tough times at school, and when things get ugly, he pulls a gun. Meanwhile, a recuperating Carrie Stein receives a hospital visit that could change everyone's lives...for the worse. All this, and Risa adopts a stray cat! Illustrated by David Hahn, creator of "cult" favorite Private Beach.
