Chock full of pulp-style men of action, hard-boiled gumshoes, mythical strongmen, undead avengers, and—of course—super heroes, Mystic Comics is a roller-coaster thrill ride back to the earliest days of comic books, when freewheeling writers and artists threw out wild ideas to a public with an insatiable appetite for comics. In this fully restored collection you’ll encounter comics first super-stretching hero—Flexo the Rubber Robot; the hero from beyond the grave—the Blue Blaze; the Dynamic Man, Master Mind Excello, the invisible Dr. Gade, Dakor the Magician, Zara of the Jungle, the Space Rangers, Hercules, the devil-possessed Black Widow, and more!

THOR: ACROSS ALL WORLDS TPB
Written by DAN JURGENS
Penciled by ANDY KUBERT
Cover by ANDY KUBERT
Thor, god of Thunder, is a god with more than a passing interest in the doings on Midgard (Earth to you and me). His sense of duty and morality forces Thor to merge his life-spirit into the mortal body of paramedic Jake Olson. Thus, he finds himself a god divided, with loyalties to the court of Odin, ruler of the Norse Gods, and as a man with obligations to friends and family. This powerfully told story follows the attempt by Lord Malekith the Dark Elf to take over Asgard by unleashing the immeasurable power contained within the Cask of Ancient Winters. With Thor tending to matters on Earth and mighty Odin undergoing the necessary Odinsleep to renew his powers, it falls to Lady Sif to rule and protect the Realm Eternal. Sensing opportunity, Ulik, leader of the Trolls, also decides the time has come to ravage Asgard, so the gods themselves have their hands full. Collecting THOR (1998) #26-35.

When the world has a problem that’s bigger than any government, special ops team, or C.I.A. smart bomb can solve, they call in the one man crazy enough to solve it: Deadpool. Possibly unkillable mercenary, definite weapons expert and swordsman, hopeless romantic, nutjob. It’s that last part that presents a small problem and that’s where Agent Bob steps in. Bob’s sole charge in life is to point Deadpool at the problem and pull the trigger — not any easy task when your agent is a dime short of a dollar and three cards shy of a full deck, and even harder when you’ve gone deep cover in the impenetrable fortress of Hammerhead, the Grand Don of the most powerful criminal organization in the world, and your unkillable super agent is head over heels for a busty French maid baker named Inga…well, you begin to see the inherent problems of the job. But no one can take it like Bob, no one can dish it like Deadpool, and no one can show you every last detail if it like MAX! You may think you know Deadpool …you have no idea.

Cover by JOHN ROMITA
You just hit the jackpot, tiger! The MARVEL MASTERWORKS bring you another set of classic tales featuring world’s most amazing super hero—the Amazing Spider-Man. With Stan Lee and John Romita bringing story after story of unmatched drama and adventure, it’s Spidey at his very best! It begins with the first appearance of the bulldozer on two legs, the Rhino, and if he can’t turn Spidey into an endangered species, then perhaps an out-of-control, outer-space powered Col. John Jameson might be able to do the trick. The action keeps pumping with Spidey’s first meeting with the Avengers (hint, it doesn’t go well), the Shocker, the return of the Lizard, Kraven the Hunter, and the debut of an all-new Vulture and the Kingpin! But the true heart of the story is in the tale of young Peter Parker finding his way in the world. He finds new independence as he gets his own pad with pal Harry Osborn, courts Gwen Stacy, and beholds one of comics’ most unforgettable entrances, a certain Miss Mary Jane Watson.

Cover by STEVE DILLON
The Punisher’s one-man war on crime has been going well lately. A little too well. The mob bosses that make up the heads of the major crime families have banded together to finish off the Punisher for good. They’ve set a trap for Frank, using a low-level mob enforcer named Wilson Fisk to play the part of the “Kingpin of Crime,” an imaginary figure they know Frank won’t be able to resist. With their trap set, the bosses have only to wait for the Punisher to take the bait. But the bosses aren’t the only people with a plan. It seems that Wilson Fisk is tired of playing the heavy. He quite likes the idea of being the Kingpin, enough that he’d be willing to kill his own bosses to keep the position. Collecting PUNISHERMAX #1-5.

Fusing the dystopian super-hero elements of the X-Men’s “Days of Future Past,” the wild and wooly futurescapes of Mad Max, and the tragic pathos of Clint Eastwood’s archetypal Western heroes, Millar’s tale finds Wolverine at a crossroads with who he really wants to be and who he really is.

DAREDEVIL BY BRIAN MICHAEL BENDIS & ALEX MALEEV ULTIMATE COLLECTION BOOK 2 TPB
Written by BRIAN MICHAEL BENDIS
Penciled by ALEX MALEEV
Cover by ALEX MALEEV
During a character-defining run, Brian Michael Bendis crafted a pulp-fiction narrative that exploited the Man Without Fear’s rich tapestry of characters and psychodrama, and resolved them in an incredibly nuanced, modern approach. Now, this Eisner award-winning run is collected across three titanic trade paperbacks! In this volume, Matt Murdock is forced to reckon with the problems and legal ramifications that have emerged as a result of his public outing. The last thing he needs is the return of Typhoid Mary—one of his deadliest foes, a schizophrenic predator who terrorizes her targets with a seemingly inexhaustible lust for bloodshed. But even worse is her connection to Wilson Fisk, who’s back in Hell’s Kitchen—attempting to restore his fallen empire and exact revenge against those who ousted him from his once untouchable position of Kingpin of Crime.

The world’s favorite space-faring super hero in his continuing saga of anguish and adventure! He sacrificed himself to save his home world of Zenn-La from the planet-devouring menace, Galactus, saving those he loved in exchange for a life of servitude as the Silver Surfer. Now, after disobeying his master, Norrin Radd is stranded on the planet Earth—forever removed from his love, Shalla-Bal, and from the beckoning spaceways! A high point of epic adventure and lyrical drama, The Silver Surfer took the comic-book super hero to all-new heights.

In these pages the Surfer will face ghosts from beyond the grave seeking redemption, the horrors of war, the devious Mephisto, and mighty Marvel heroes from Spider-Man to the Human Torch and the Inhumans.

Helljumpers. The very name strikes fear in the hearts of even the most ruthless Covenant warriors. The Orbital Drop Shock Troopers of the 105th Division are the meanest, scariest, most battled-hardened marines the UNSC forces have to offer. No retreat. No surrender. The Helljumpers get the job done every time. Hoo-rah!

The lone body on the planet’s surface, a communications officer, appears to have died of fright. The discovery of a large Covenant military presence raises more questions than it answers. And when two Helljumpers get cut off from the rest of their squad, they’ll have to battle through impossible odds to make it home. Can the marines uncover the mysteries of Ariel? And if so, can they make it off planet to tell the tale? If not, there’ll be hell to pay! Collecting HALO: HELLJUMPER #1-5.

For, as the big brain of the Fantastic Four will find out, solving everything carries with it a great cost, and one that is perhaps too much to pay.

MARVELMAN CLASSIC PRIMER #1
Written by JOHN RHETT THOMAS
Cover by JOE QUESADA
Variant by MICK ANGLO
MARVELMAN COMES TO MARVEL! Who is the mysterious Marvelman? The answer to that question is one of the most mysterious in comics lore. Created in 1954 by writer/artist Mick Anglo, the character enjoyed a long run in the British comics market as one of its most powerful heroes. A few decades later, the character was revived with a dark, moody, deconstructionist bent, and produced one of the most important works of comic art in the medium’s history. But now, miracle of miracles, Marvel has stepped up to the plate to deliver on the promise of Anglo’s incredible characters. The MARVELMAN PRIMER will help readers unfamiliar with that character get up to speed on the past, present and future of Marvelman stories. We’ll check in with Mick Anglo, Neil Gaiman and others who contributed to this character’s history over the years. It was the news that swept the 2009 San Diego Comic-Con and the Marvelman Primer explains why! Featuring six all-new pinups of key Marvelman characters by superstar artists Mike Perkins, Doug Braithwaite, Miguel Angel Sepulveda, Jae Lee, Khoi Pham and Ben Oliver!

Born to a past-his-prime prizefighter, Matt Murdock’s luck always ran a step behind his good intentions. When a daring act to save a man’s life results in an accident that blinds young Murdock, he finds that the same accident has enhanced his remaining sense to super-human levels. After his father’s murder those powers make him Daredevil, the protector of the New York’s mean streets. Launched in 1964, Stan Lee and Bill Everett’s Daredevil debut was as gritty as they came, a tale of murder and sacrifice tempered with the desire to protect the downtrodden. Matt Murdock was someone different, and you’ll see just why in his inaugural Marvel Masterworks! Featuring the first appearances of core characters like Foggy Nelson and Karen Page, as well as classic villains like the Owl, the Purple Man, Stilt-Man and Electro, and guest-appearances by the Fantastic Four and the Sub-Mariner, they’re classics as only Stan Lee made them!

Cable asked for help from his favorite Merc with a Mouth and now, finally, this action-packed, oversized story can be told. Before there can be an end, there must be a beginning.

Cover by GIL KANE
Collected for the first time ever, the MARVEL MASTERWORKS bring you the ground-breaking, trend-setting Black Panther from JUNGLE ACTION! In 1973 comics’ first African super hero took the headlining slot in an ambitious ongoing series, beginning a 13-issue epic unprecedented in its time. Writer Don McGregor teamed with artists Rich Buckler and Billy Graham to tell “Panther’s Rage,” a story so huge it ranges across the savannah, into the deepest jungles and up to the snow-topped mountains of Wakanda. Over its course McGregor & Co. would define T’Challa, give full depth and life to the Wakandas and their culture, while pitting the Panther against the murderous Erik Killmonger for control of the kingdom. Not one to rest on his laurels, McGregor then set out to raise the bar once again, sending T’Challa to the American South to investigate the murder of Angela Lynne and its connection to the Klan and the history of the Soul Strangler. A challenging storyline by a challenging storyteller, you’ll read it and so much more in this much anticipated hardcover classic! Collecting JUNGLE ACTION #6-24.

MARVEL 1602: NEW WORLD/FANTASTICK FOUR TPB
Written by GREG PAK & PETER DAVID
Penciled by GREG TOCCHINI & PASCAL ALIXE
Cover by LEINIL FRANCIS YU
It’s the year 1602 — and though there are characters you might think you know, none of them are the same as you remember. There’s a young man named Peter with amazing spider-like abilities — but instead of New York City, he’s a proud resident of the settlement at Roanoke. There’s a group of four adventurers endowed with amazing powers — but instead of a spaceship, they steer a boat. And the rampaging giant known as the Hulk? Well, he’s pretty much the same. Though King James of England might prefer things stay the same, the Earth is in flux — with much of the change occurring across the Atlantic in the New World. Though Sir Nicholas Fury and the super-powered Witchbreed may have disappeared, more and more superhumans are making themselves known — which prompts the king to take drastic measures. Elsewhere, another ruler — Otto Von Doom of Latveria — is taking drastic measures of his own as he mounts an expedition to what he believes to be, quite literally, the ends of the Earth. Along for the ride are the beautiful but deadly Natasha Romanova, the bizarrely powered four who are frightful and a kidnapped playwright by the name of William Shakespeare. But hot on their flying ship’s tails are another super-powered quartet: the Fantastick Four! Collecting MARVEL 1602: NEW WORLD #1-5 and MARVEL 1602: FANTASTICK FOUR #1-5.

Not so long ago, the Punisher attempting to assassinate the Green Goblin would most likely have been met with ambivalence. But Norman Osborn has decided he prefers suits to green masks and the authoritarian law-enforcement agency H.A.M.M.E.R. to a weapons-enhanced glider. So when Castle put the former super villain in his sites, it wasn’t received quite as well. Since that failed assassination attempt, Osborn has tried to turn the tables on the Punisher. Despite his best efforts, Castle has eluded him to continue his surgical strikes on H.A.M.M.E.R.’s centers of power. With traditional means of bringing in his foe exhausted, Osborn turns to the Hood and his wide-reaching criminal network. Resurrecting 16 super villains killed by extreme vigilantes, he promises the super-powered thugs a second chance at life — if they bring him the head of Frank Castle!

Cover by MARK BRIGHT
Millionaire industrialist Tony Stark is an inventive genius who has dedicated all of his enormous financial and intellectual resources to a single guiding principle: the creation of technology for the betterment of humanity. Stark’s greatest creation is a modern-day miracle: a suit of form-fitting, strength-enhancing, steel-mesh armor he dons to become the living symbol of his ideals, the Invincible Iron Man! But when Stark discovers that the same technology he used to create the Iron Man armor – technology so secret he didn’t even dare patent it – is now in the hands of several deadly super-villains, he feels responsible for the evil they have done with the high-tech tools he unwittingly provided. In the face of objections from his government, friends, colleagues and fellow super heroes, Stark swears to use the power of Iron Man to bring the evil to an end – and to take back what’s his. The Beatle, Stilt Man, the Controller, Stingray, the Mandroids, the Guardsmen and Firepower don’t know it yet, but they’ve got a problem. The world’s most powerful force for good isn’t playing by the rules anymore. And he’s coming for them. Collecting IRON MAN #225-232.

It’s a twelve-pack of Captain America classics as only the Marvel Masterworks can bring them to you! Draped in the red, white and blue, there’s no character in all of comics who represents America like Cap, and within these pages two of Marvel’s greatest creators set him on a path through the tumultuous ’70s that bears a character’s, and a nation’s, soul. In story after story Stan Lee and Gene Colan push the envelope for adventure as Cap goes behind enemy lines in Vietnam; teams with the Falcon to oppose the radical Diamondheads; and then sets out on a coast-to-coast road trip full of motorcycle gangs, rock festivals and the Red Skull! The excitement reaches fever pitch when the long, lost Bucky Barnes returns! Free from the guilt of his partner’s death, Cap’s slate is wiped clean, however, anything but a normal life is ahead — because Baron Strucker, Dr. Doom and M.O.D.O.K. are tied up in Bucky’s return. Before the story’s done you’ll witness Cap vs. Bucky, the origin of M.O.D.O.K. and the beginning of the Captain America/Falcon team! Featuring guest appearances by Nick Fury, the Incredible Hulk and Peter Parker, and villains from Batroc to the Mole Man and the Monster Ape, they’re classics one and all.

DARK AVENGERS: ARES TPB
Written by KIERON GILLEN & MICHAEL AVON OEMING
Penciled by MANUEL GARCIA & TRAVEL FOREMAN
Cover by ED MCGUINNESS
Two exciting Ares series in one action packed collection. First, after thousands of years living as a man and fighting in man’s bloody, petty conflicts, Ares joined the ranks of Earth’s mightiest heroes – the Avengers. Now Norman Osborn – the new head of the corrupted Dark Avengers and director of the paramilitary intelligence agency H.A.M.M.E.R. – wants the finest fighting force the God of War can provide. He charges Ares with hand-picking an elite squad of soldiers and beating them into the hardest, sharpest warriors ever to wield an M-60 in each hand. And that’s exactly what Ares will need, when the goddess Hera provides him with a fighting chance to regain his standing in the pantheon’s eyes. And Ares is taking his men with him into the battle of their lives. Plus, Ares turns his back on Olympus and journeys to Earth to raise his child. But what happens when Olympus, under siege and in danger of falling, calls on its most violent son to come to its rescue? And what happens if Ares refuses? Will Zeus destroy his son…and his grandson…to save his city? This story brings together heroes new and old, uniting Hercules and the Greek Pantheon with the Marvel Universe. May the gods help anyone who stands in Ares’ way! Collecting DARK AVENGERS: ARES #1-3 and ARES #1-5.

Their homes, their parents, their friends — ever since first banding together and going out on their own, the Runaways have been no stranger to loss. Now, though they appear to finally be safe, none of them can get their minds off of everything they’ve lost or given up. As they attempt to make merry despite their melancholy, the Runaways are struck by yet another catastrophe. A mysterious aircraft flying over their Malibu home is somehow lured to it, resulting in a fiery crash. As the team frantically digs through the rubble, they find that their home wasn’t the only casualty: Yet another member of the team has fallen. The Runaways have little time to mourn, however, as their home is surrounded by a group of armed military personnel, dispatched to retrieve the contents of the crashed aircraft. Even more ominously, however, a figure from the group’s past — one thought deceased — has returned to confront the team.
