Despite what many of you merry perverts may think , it ’s not all musclebuilder in leotards and axe - wield schoolgirls in short wench in comicbookland . Although , to be sightly , both of those category are represented in this Wednesday ’s comic shops , as the pre - Summer lull gets fulfill with reprints and all manner of plot maneuvering to get all the players on- and off - microscope stage before the big plot line take over next month . tick on that “ More ” push button to rule out about the four color expiry , more death and Birth wait you in your local amusing record store tomorrow .
Even though you ’re doubtlessly waiting to discover out more about the schoolgirl , I ’m going to go with the bodybuilder first , I ’m afraid . Marvel ’s Secret Invasion storyline easy builds in this week ’s Mighty Avengers # 12 ( fetch David Hasslehoff and Samuel Jackson ’s favourite superintendent - undercover agent Nick Fury back after years in hiding , to fight off the Skrulls trying to take over the satellite ) . And DC are go full - steam to prepare for the approaching Final Crisis , with the final issues of both weekly snorefest Countdown to Final Crisis and seek epic The Death of The New Gods work sure the estimable cat lose before Grant Morrison lets all of the malevolent Gods out to play next month . Morrison ’s also the one behind the 675th emergence of Batman , which lets new readers trance up on all the mischievousness that Bruce Wayne has been part of late , before Bruce fulfil a fate defective than death when Batman R.I.P. begins in the next issue .
( If you ’re looking for something slightly more affirmative yet equally apocalyptic from your favorite DC characters , you could do worse that Justice Society of America : Thy Kingdom Come , Part 1 , the start of Geoff Johns ’ and Alex Ross ’ sequel / prequel to Ross ’ dark-skinned alternate - future tale Kingdom Come , which also come out this week . )
Otherwise , this week ’s releases are all about your usual two indigence : Your early ’ XC nostalgia jones can be fixed with X - O Manowar : Birth , a new hardcover ingathering of the first seven issue of Valiant ’s high concept “ What if Conan was Iron Man ” serial . ( If you ’re older than that , then Mike Baron and Steve Rude ’s Nexus : The Origin one - shot should serve the same use for the former 1980s . I really ca n’t avail you for the early ’ 70s , sadly . ) And your much - easier - to - admit - to - in - public schoolgirl uniform fetish should be sufficiently pleased with the new collection variant of Josh Howard ’s Dead@17 . For those who have n’t experienced Howard ’s series , conceive of Buffy The Vampire Slayer but with more zombies and suck by a cartoonier Bruce Timm . There may be a Heavenly prognostication or two mixed up in there , but you did n’t get wind that from me . Who could want any more than that ?
