Presidential Material: Barack Obama #1
Written by Jeff Mariotte, Tom Morgan.
In the vein of great biography comics from years past (Pope John Paul II, St. Francis of Assisi), come two biographies of the 2008 Presidential candidates. This year’s presidential primary season was historic for many reasons, and Barack Obama’s rise from humble beginnings to his place on the November ballot makes for an extraordinary tale! Acclaimed artist J. Scott Campbell provides a special cover for the issue!
Presidential Material: John McCain #1
Written by Andrew Helfer, Stephen Thompson.
John McCain is a true American hero, and his tale, taking him from the hells of Viet Nam to becoming the Republican nominee for President is a story well worth telling. J. Scott Campbell again provides the cover for the comic-biography of one of the two candidates in November’s historic Presidential contest.
Avengers / Invaders #5
Written by Jim Krueger, Alex Ross, Stephen Sadowski.
The second act of the hit maxi-series begins as our three teams — the Avengers vs. the Avengers vs the Invaders – face off in an all-out battle aboard the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier! While battle rages, Dr. Strange attempts to solve the mystery of what ripped the greatest Heroes Of World War II to the present day, and how to put them back. Will the combined might of three super-teams be enough to stop the cross-time devastation? Match all of this with the return of one of the Avengers deadliest villains — one with a particular interest in the Original Human Torch — and you know, from what you’ve seen so far, the return of Captain America is only the tip of the iceberg!
Detective Comics #849
Written by Paul Dini, Dustin Nguyen.
A ‘Batman R.I.P.’ tie-in! In this penultimate chapter of the 5-part arc ‘Heart of Hush,’ Batman tears his way through Gotham City’s underworld to reach his dangerous adversary. But after the Dark Knight learns what his childhood friend-turned-villain is really after, will Batman be able to survive what Hush plans next? The lives of both Bruce Wayne and Tommy Elliot come full circle in this story of beginnings and brutal endings!
