Highlights for Wednesday, September 26: Marvel Comics

Looks like a huuuuuuge week for the House of Ideas this week! From the Avengers to Spider-Man to the X-Men family to the heroes and everything in between! We’ll start with X-Men #36, which Marvel is calling a jumping on point! We’cv enjoyed Brian Wood’s run on this title immensely and if this really is a good jumping on point, and you haven’t already, you should do so immediately!

Jumping on point!
In the aftermath of the "Mutant Scare", Storm’s leadership is called into question.
Will there be a new team-member – and what side are they really on?

Other X-books this week include Wolverine #313, X-Treme X-Men #4, X-Men Legacy #274, Gambit #3, Deadpool #61 and the always good Wolverine and the X-Men #17, which sheds its Avengers vs. X-Men banner and stars the one and only Doop!

I’m also digging Amazing Spider-Man #694, which boasts an all-new character joining the Marvel Universe and also features a very cool cover that pays tribute to the classic Superman vs. Amazing Spider-Man of yesteryear.

Fury Max #6 There are also several spy/espionage books coming out this week, starting with Winter Soldier #11. It’s an all-out search for Black Widow… and Hawkeye is on the trail!

The other big spy book is Garth Ennis’ Fury Max #6. If you were a fan of Ennis’ run on Punisher — which we feel is some of the greatest Punisher ever written — you definitely need to be reading this series. It’s got that same gritty feel, and in fact Fury is written very Punisher-y. Which we are A-OK with!
