Writer(s): RYAN NORTH Artist(s): Francesco Mobili# THE DAYS OF DOOM! Doctor Victor Von Doom is a great scientist, an unparallelled sorcerer and the ruler of his own nation. He is, by any measure, a great man. And yet Doom wants more.

Reed shares his plan for his eventual retirement project: the total optimization of history. He intends to go back in time, to all the eras humanity wasted on war and conflict, and fix them, saving trillions of lives and ensuring humanity can achieve its greatest and final glory. The idea of Reed rewriting history in his own image is, of course, antithetical to Doom, and so he decides to do it before Reed does. But when the Fantastic Four intervene, Doom finds himself in a battle he never intended – across all of time and space! DOOMQUEST is an evergreen Doom story: the perfect introduction and exploration of his character. This fun and adventurous miniseries takes readers into the heart of Victor Von Doom, across the depths of time and space and into action-packed battles you can’t see anywhere else – and beyond!

OLYMPUS SAGA MEGALITH #1
(W) Matt Kindt (A/CA) Lewis LaRosa From New York Times best-selling writer Matt Kindt (BRZRKR, THE HERO TRADE) and master illustrator Lewis LaRosa (PUNISHER MAX, BLOODSHOT) comes an explosive cosmic odyssey of unparalleled scope and artistry. Twenty minutes ago, a massive monolith crashed into the heart of Baltimore, obliterating 16 square blocks. No one knows where it came from or why. Somehow, the monstrous deep space object evaded the global surveillance net. Three elite breach teams were dispatched to penetrate its outer shell and disable it. Ten minutes ago, it sprouted tendrils that began ripping apart nearby streets, cars and even people using the raw material to print itself larger. Police, SWAT, the Feds, even NORAD were powerless to stop it. Just two minutes ago, the megalithic anomaly achieved its final form -- a gigantic, hundred-story tall, humanoid, mecha-robot -- then began marching towards Washington, DC. Now, our only hope is Officer Jack Casey, a beat cop scarred by the past, who along with what remains of the breach teams must scale the robot from the inside. If they can reach the head, they can destroy it, but time is running out. The government has scrambled a nuclear response and the world has just learned that a second, bigger monolith is about to impact Earth.

WARBIRD #0
(W) Derek Kolstad, Robert Venditti (A) TBA (CA) Frank Quitely From the minds of blockbuster screenwriter Derek Kolstad — creator and writer of the box office dominating motion picture franchise JOHN WICK — and New York Times best-selling writer Robert Venditti (Superman ‘78, Green Lantern), comes a white-knuckle, globe-spanning action/spy thrill ride. Cole is a repo man of the highest caliber, repossessing heavily guarded mega yachts from billionaires, private planes from captains of industry, and everything in-between. If it’s got an engine, he can drive it, ride it, or fly it straight out from under the nose of an army of guards. But now he’s handed the job of a lifetime. The impossible job. One that will bring him face to face with the highest stakes. The Russians have stolen aeronautical military secrets from China, France, Germany, The UK, and the US to “Frankenstein” together the ultimate bleeding edge, next-gen fighter jet: The Warbird. There are only three of them in existence. They are a force of absolute nature—$1.4 billion apiece—dominating every global hotspot from Syria to Ukraine. And Cole’s been hired to steal one… and destroy the other two. His fee? 10%. A cool $140 million. But this isn’t a repossession job. This is outright theft. And failure doesn’t mean jail time and fines—it means a bullet to the back of the head.

He hates that look. These old timer unicorns were born before the Reformation. They must have had their horns taken by dragons. When they were young, by the look of it. Now they view the youngest generation with both pride and envy. The crops are failing, the cows skinny, and jobs are scarce. Justin lost his job at the dairy a few months ago. That doesn’t stop his elf neighbor from stopping by every night to drink his beer. Watch his mirror. Burn through his crystals. Then Petra shows up at Justin’s favorite bar. Why would a pretty lady like her be interested in a down-on-his-luck ex-farmer? She is the best thing to happen to him in years. Writer/Creator: David K.
