This October, Marvel will be teaming up with STOMP Out Bullying™ to increase awareness of the bullying epidemic with a series of variant covers for its flagship characters.

PopMythology.com brings you this advance look at the cover, variant covers, and a couple of pages inside the eagerly-awaited first issue of Thor #1.

It’s back to school and as I gear up for another year in the classroom with this new crop of neophyte geeks, I’m really excited to discover something awesome: an issue of Uncanny X-Men that I actually liked!

I've said this before in my singe issue reviews of The Mercenary Sea, but this is one of the best titles out there. In fact, I don't mean to boast, but if you look on the back cover of this trade paperback you'll see a quote from a previous review by yours truly in which I rave about how much I love it.

Herik Hanna & Sean Phillips' tale of sci-fi horror will fill you with tension as you follow the protagonist on his journey through a bloodied prison spaceship.

A Voice in the Dark is a mature psychological horror-thriller comic that’s heavy on the psychology and light on the gore and violence. Its creation is also a remarkable and inspiring success story on numerous levels.

Take a look at Sinestro #5, written by Cullen Bunn and drawn by Dale Eaglesham. I love the idea of a villain getting his own comic title (very retro seventies approach) but I love seeing Dale’s work leap out at me from the page. It’s simply stellar and I can’t allow this title to get ignored.

With the pending release of the first paperback compilation, The Mercenary Sea, Vol. 1 (which collects issues #1-6), we thought it'd be a good time for a quick chat with the auteurs of this delightful comic and to find out what whispered promises of hidden treasures compelled these men to embark on this storytelling journey.

Originally released in 2012 as a three-book series, Michael Mendheim and Simon Bisley’s The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse is being released in omnibus form and it is amazing.

If you like noir, cop stories and smart sci-fi, this book combines them all into one fabulous package.

Titan Books has performed nothing short of a vibrant homage to a hallmark story that is already legendary among British comics.

While any comic lover would enjoy reading this exciting and truly unique fantasy adventure, Canadians in particular need to support and celebrate this new volume of Brok Windsor comics for the historical awareness it possesses.

The Fade Out is another winning title for Image Comics. It captured my imagination and every character is an enigmatic treasure to discover. Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips really deliver.

Solid story, action and art make 'Punisher, Vol. 1: Black and White' a great book for those who are either new to Marvel comics or are looking for an accessible reentry into a world they might have once left behind.

If you’re a parent, I implore you to buy this book and give it to your kids. Raise them on Captain America because there are enough young people out there already who aspire to be like Tony Stark or Wolverine but not enough who aspire to be like Steve Rogers, and that is what we need more of.
