It’s kind of a big deal that Secret Wars and Convergence, two very similar event books, are happening at basically the same time right now from DC and Marvel. That’s not to say that there’s not other great stuff on the racks this week though.

DST has a pair of new releases in stores that couldn’t really be more different. One is the kindly robot from Lost in Space, and the other is a giant green rage monster named Hulk. It’s like the odd couple!

There’s more Ghost Riders in this new book than you’ve ever seen in the Marvel U before. And am I seeing things, or is that a centaur with a mini-gun attached?

Nostalgia setting to maximum as Marvel has a series of ‘battle standees’ ready as promo items that;ll recall the real driving force behind Secret Wars- toys!

The big two’s big crossover events are spinning up, with Convergence heading into the last few issues and Secret Wars starting to really get into it. That’s not all this week though, as there’s plenty of non-superhero stuff to be had.

Pretty different than the first glimpse of the evil, future Hulk that we got in the classic Hulk series, this version of the Maestro is in charge of Dystopia, ruling it with an iron fist. But that won’t stop X-Factor from trying to knock him down a peg or two.

Tony isn’t the only one in armor in Armor Wars #1, the newest tie-in for Secret Wars… actually, everybody in the city has some.

Star Wars brings everybody together, even publishers, as Marvel and IDW will once again be working in concert to bring some awesome books to store shelves.

As it appeared in the comics, as opposed to the movie version, this is one suite of Hulkbuster armor you’re going to want on your shelf.

M.O.D.O.K. is the perfect assassin. No wait, that can’t be right…

A brand new title from Heroclix-makers WizKids, X-Men: Mutant Revolution spread the mutant cause in Marvel’s universe in the wake of the Phoenix event.

Another big week at comic and specialty stores from Diamond Select Toys, as some very cool toys and that long-awaited Mr. Fusion prop from Back to the Future arrive.

One of the best X-Men events of all time makes a fiery impact on Battleworld in Inferno #1.

Convergence aside, this week’s biggest books from pretty much any publisher are the ’40s’. What are those, you ask? Batman, Superman, and Justice League numbers 40 of course.

The last stand of the Ultimate versions of your favorite Marvel heroes is almost here in a tie-in to Secret Wars.

Telltale is about as hot as you can get. Fresh off properties like Game of Thrones, Fables, and Borderlands, the adventure game giant now has something Marvel-ous planned.
