When it happens yet again, it’s up to Sue’s best girlfriends — Alicia, Crystal, and the Sensational She-Hulk — to cheer her up with a night out on the town… Marvel style! While dishing about their former crushes, Sue reveals an untold episode from her past involving… the Black Panther?!

Their unforgettable battle royale is just the tip of the iceberg, and Daredevil will never be the same again!

In THE WIDOW, the Man Without Fear’s fiery, redheaded ex-partner is back in Hell’s Kitchen to help Daredevil keep the streets clean. But why has she really returned? One of Marvel’s greatest love stories takes an unexpected turn, and all in the horrible face of…Jigsaw! Guest-starring Nick Fury and the Avengers! Collects DAREDEVIL #56-64 – plus the DAREDEVIL #65 anniversary special, written by Bendis and illustrated by some of the greatest comic artists never to Daredevil before.

The Hulk is besieged by the Mindless Ones!…while Doctor Strange and Prince Namor are utterly defeated by Dormammu! Meanwhile, Umar walks around talking to herself…while the Silver Surfer…uh…hangs out on the beach…?! Yes, it’s action, adventure and idiocy as only Eisner-winners Keith Giffen, J.M. DeMatteis and Kevin Maguire can deliver it!

The RRK project has been put on hold forever. Reason being: it was crap and RRK is a very boring charater. It was funny when I lived in a gang infested slum… now I can’t identify with it. Sorry Mike!

Lumber Jack, the newest Freak Comics original, is still in production. I am putting the finishing touches on the script and then it’s on to sketching out the art. It’s a horribly long process when you have a million other things to do.

Lumber Jack is comic in the form of public relations work done by the National Lumber Jack Association… with a twist. Think of Lumber Jack as sardonic propaganda put out by an anti-hippy organization.

What comics do you read? Comic books, comic strips in the newspaper, web comics… they all apply. I want to know what comics you guys read, what titles are your favorite and why.

I’m going out on a limb here and assuming that people actually read my blog. Comment if you dare!

My all time favorite is still X-Men. Spider-man is a close second. Marvel is by far my favorite company.

The response to the House of M event from readers and retailers keeps increasing with each new release, retailers should place orders on these new printings as soon as possible, as well as increase orders on upcoming issues. Thank you to everyone for continuing to make this event such a success! -David Gabriel, Director of Sales Marvel Comics

I still haven’t bothered to check out the House of M and now I’m kicking myself for it. I am going to attempt to get ahold of all House of M tie-ins and post a review on the series.

The following cover images are beautiful… and large. If you don’t have a fast connection, you’re screwed.
