Absolute Carnage #1

Red: This is it, the event Spiderman fans have been waiting for, the return of Carnage! They turned Venom’s world upside down, what does Cletus Kasady have in store for New York? We’ll find out this week!
“After turning Venom’s world upside down a year ago, DONNY CATES and RYAN STEGMAN are about to put the Sinister Symbiote through hell again, only this time CARNAGE has come calling, and everyone who’s ever worn a symbiote is dead in his sights!

Red: One of DC’s popular twelve issue mini-series to date and on the market has brought back the Lois Lane people have come to love over the years; but what is she hiding from her husband? We’ll find out this week!
“Famed writer and reporter Lois Lane never worries about speaking truth to power-so what’s she hiding from the most powerful man on the planet (and her husband), Superman? Investigating a widening international conspiracy, Lois puts herself in the crosshairs with backup from an unlikely new ally from the streets of Gotham City.”

Red: This is it! Vampirella‘s 50th Anniversary and Dynamite is bringing in an All-Star Cast of Cover Artists for the occasion! Here we have a Virgin Cover, drawn by Artist, Alex Ross!
Batman #76
Written By: Tom King
Penciled By: Tony S. Daniel
Red: Tom King has written memorable Comic Stories throughout his time at Marvel and DC, stories such as Vision, Batman/Flash: The Button, Mister Miracle, and Heroes in Crisis (Some disliked the Story but in my opinion, it was one of the best stories out there.) But his Batman run is one heck of a ride, some may criticize it but he has brought a lot to him than most compelling adventures that other Writers couldn’t do.
“ ‘City of Bane’ continues! Bane has taken over Gotham City, and Batman is nowhere to be found. At least, not a Batman anyone recognizes. Flashpoint Batman is now patrolling the city, dispensing a violent brand of justice and taking out rogue villains who haven’t yet signed on with Bane. It’s all building to a rebellion among the bad guys who don’t want to play along- and distrust in those who do! Meanwhile, a surprising ally has come to Bruce Wayne’s aid, nursing him back to health so that he can get back to his city.”
