Incredible Hulk #107
The first shots of World War Hulk have been fired and fans have responded by making Incredible Hulk #106 a smash hit! Marvel is pleased to announce that Incredible Hulk #106, the first part of the epic “Warbound” storyline, has sold out at Diamond. Forces on Earth are preparing for the Hulk’s return and this is where you’ll begin to learn who’s with the Hulk and who wants to get smashed!

“I know that we have a lot of epic to go, but if it all maintains the consistency and readability of these early chapters, we’ll be looking at one of the all-time definitive Hulk stories,” gushed Troy Brownfield of Newsarama.Com

Richard George of IGN.Com called Incredible Hulk #106 a “must-read” book of the week and said the issue contained, “a lot of great moments.”

Blake M Petit of Comixtreme.Com said that this opening salvo of World War Hulk, “should have readers really excited to see the war that’s coming.”

Please note that Incredible Hulk #106 may still be available at the retailer level. With the excitement surrounding World War Hulk and the quick sell-out of Incredible Hulk #106, Marvel urges retailers to check their orders on upcoming World War Hulk tie-ins. At this time there are no plans to go back to press on Incredible Hulk #106. Don’t forget to go back to where it all began, with the acclaimed hardcover collection of Planet Hulk, which laid the seeds for World War Hulk, and World War Hulk Prologue, offering an unprecedented look inside the mind of the monster. As the Hulk returns to Earth, things are only going to get bigger, so don’t miss a single upcoming issue of World War Hulk!

X-Men #199
As the X-Men hurtle towards the huge anniversary issue that is X-Men #200, nothing’s as it seems for Rogue’s team of unpredictable mutants. Written by acclaimed scribe Mike Carey and penciled by fan favorite Chris Bachalo, X-Men #199 will not only change Cable forever, but also dramatically alter the course of Rogue’s life—and that’s putting it lightly! Faced with a seemingly unstoppable enemy, the X-Men will have to risk it all to win and just wait till you see how it all ends!

“Mike Carey is the man steering this rollercoaster ride and he’s got me hooked,” exclaimed Newsarama.Com’s Steve Ekstrom. “Chris Bachalo’s work only gets better and better—with Carey being the ‘second-coming,’ I don’t see how anyone can pass this book up. Run faster to your local shop—this book is hot!”

Comixfan’s Alan Bergin gushed, “Carey has succeeded in providing a worthwhile re-imagining of the merry mutants.”

With this final chapter of the “Critical Condition” storyline in X-Men #199, the X-Men are heading straight into conflict with one of their deadliest threats ever, but if you’re not onboard now, you’re going to miss out on how it all begins. The end isn’t near…it’s here!

Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man Annual #1
One of Spider-Man’s classic foes returns in Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man Annual #1, as readers are treated to Sandman: Year One, featuring the origin of the Sandman. The man who would become Flint Marko, and later the villainous Sandman, wasn’t always a bad seed, so what set him down this path? And how does Spider-Man figure into it? These answers, and more, arrive in a story by fan-favorite writer Peter David and artists Ronan Cliquet, which shows the Sandman in quite a different light than ever before! Then in a backup tale by David and artist Colleen Doran, you’ll be moved by this story about a homeless girl who loves Spider-Man in a story entitled “LEAH.”

With a sensational battle between Spider-Man and Sandman, new secrets revealed about Flint Marko, a touching tale of love and a dynamite creative team, how can you say no to the double-sized Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man Annual #1?

I could not be happier with fan and retailer reaction to Loners.
