days in their own past, they just might be able to return to Earth
without notice. That gives the team of outcasts and criminals three
days to stop a cataclysm that could bring about the first universal

AJA
Experience a brand-new kind of Iron Fist story – one steeped in legends
and fables, magic and adventure, and a historical sweep that stretches
back through the centuries – as the living weapon returns in this
hard-hitting martial-arts epic by Ed Brubaker, Matt Fraction, David Aja
and a who’s who of artistic collaborators! Orphaned as a child and
raised in the lost city of K’un-Lun, Danny Rand returned to America as
the mystical martial artist Iron Fist – but all his kung-fu skills
can’t help him find his place in the modern world. After learning the
hard way that the centuries-spanning legacy of the Iron Fist holds more
secrets than he ever dreamed possible, Danny is ushered to the fabled
city of K’un-Lun to fight in a tournament against the Immortal Weapons
of the Seven Capital Cities of Heaven. It is a round of games that
occurs every 88 years as the different cities connect together on the
same mystical plane. At stake is the life of his friend, the legacy of
his father and mentor, and the future of K’un-Lun. And despite the
awesome new powers and knowledge granted to him by the mysterious Orson
Randall, will Danny be ready when the tournament calls his name? Plus:
There have been sixty-six men and women to carry the mantle of the
Immortal Iron Fist. Witness their story in The Book of the Iron Fist.

Longtime DD fans will not be disappointed as the critically acclaimed,
award-winning creative team of Ed Brubaker and Michael Lark leave their
mark on one of comics' most enduring legends! For the past few years,
Matt Murdock’s life has been teetering on the edge of destruction. Now,
pushed beyond the limit, he finds himself behind the eight ball with no
clear way out, the people he calls friends slowly deserting him, and
Hell’s Kitchen gradually slipping out of control. The question is, when
his back is against the wall, just how far will Daredevil go to get
back what is his? And if you think Matt’s life is going to start
getting simpler after that, think again! As he tries to find a way to
move forward, a threat from his past begins to creep toward daylight.
And with the post-Civil War fallout all around him, he finds himself
fighting a battle on both fronts of his life: in the courtroom and on
the rooftops of Hell's Kitchen! Nominated for three Eisner Awards –
Best Continuing Series, Best Writer and Best Penciler-Inker Team!

MARVEL MASTERWORKS: WARLOCK VOL. 2 HC
Written by JIM STARLIN with BILL MANTLO
Penciled by JIM STARLIN with JOHN BYRNE
Cover by JIM STARLIN
The MARVEL MASTERWORKS line is proud to present one of comics’ most
mind-blowingly cosmic sagas. At ’70s Marvel there was no who quite
mastered the startling scope and high-concept complexity of truly
cosmic adventure like writer/artist and overall Renaissance man, Jim
Starlin. His first effort with Captain Marvel redefined a character.
His second with Adam Warlock set the tone for star-spanning spectacle
that is considered a high-water mark to this day. Taking the legacy
laid out by Lee, Kirby, Thomas and Kane, Jim Starlin evolved Warlock to
the next level, imbuing the character with the furies and inner demons
of a man-god on the brink of insanity. Forced to confront the Magus, an
evil version of himself, and the nihilistic menace, Thanos, Warlock’s
conflicts weren’t just knuckle-grinding throw-downs, they were epic,
existential struggles for the very soul. Culminating in the first-ever
assembling of the Infinity Gems, and featuring the first appearances of
such cosmic Marvel mainstays as Gamorra and Pip the Troll—not to
mention an all-out struggle to save the universe joined by the
Avengers, Captain Marvel and Spider-Man—this MASTERWORKs edition is
definitive Marvel. So reserve that copy today, True
Believer!

The repercussions of the worst day in Avengers history reverberate
throughout the lives of the mightiest of them all: Thor, Iron Man and
Captain America! The end is nigh for the gods of Asgard, and only Thor
and his Avengers allies might be able to stave off Ragnarok — but will
the Thunder God be Asgard’s savior, or the architect of its downfall?
Beset by allegations that Tony Stark has lost his battle with the
bottle, Iron Man must face off against his evil doppelganger, which has
embarked on a murderous rampage aimed at those in charge of Stark
Enterprises! Plus: When Tony Stark is ordered to recover sensitive,
top-secret materials from Avengers Mansion, his duties as Secretary of
State come into conflict with his standing as an Avenger — in the most
explosive way possible! Reeling from recent events, Captain America is
forced to choose between his partner — the fugitive Falcon — and his
principles while suffering an enigmatic battle fatigue that replays his
worst failure and presents the Scarlet Witch as his only refuge.
Meanwhile, all is not right within S.H.I.E.L.D. — what does it have to
do with a certain Red-Skulled villain who’s been lurking in the
background? Collecting THOR #80-85, IRON MAN #84-89, CAPTAIN AMERICA

PUNISHER MAX VOL. 5 HC
Written by GARTH ENNIS
Penciled by HOWARD CHAYKIN & GORLAN PARLOV
Cover by TIM BRADSTREET
Barracuda's back. The most dangerous foe the Punisher has ever faced
has found a chink in his enemy's armor, one even Frank Castle himself
doesn't know about. Heart full of blackest hate and loving every minute
of it, he's out to crush the vigilante to pulp – and take his time over
killing what remains. But Castle has a lifetime of slaughter behind
him, and who knows how lethal he might yet become? Then, watch as Garth
Ennis concludes his seminal run on Punisher in style. Thirty-five years
ago, the Fifth Cavalry disgorged their troops on an isolated Vietnamese
hilltop and was met by a scene of utter devastation. The final body
count ran to well over seven-hundred — almost two-hundred of them
American soldiers. Standing alone amidst the carnage, a sole survivor:
Captain Frank Castle. Now, the Punisher is about to face his stiffest
test: He’s hunted big game in his day, but none as big as this. Five
men with unlimited resources. Men who’d put anything between themselves
and the Punisher’s bullet. Men who know exactly who he is — and how to
fight him. Collecting PUNISHER #50-60.
