Hawkeye #7
Writer: Matt Fraction
Artists: Steve Lieber and Jesse Hamm Publisher: Marvel Cover Price: $2.99
"We're pushing the next story back by a month to make room for a two timely stories about Hawkeye and Kate Bishop dealing with the ramifications of a hurricane that hammers the east coast. With lovely art by the Eisner Award Winning artist Steve Leiber and newcomer Jesse Hamm, it's a perfect pause before the next Fraction/Aja mini-opus begins....featuring the reveal of a villain that I can promise you no one sees coming."

HARBINGER #0
Writer: Joshua Dysart
Artist: Mico Suayan, Pere Perez
Publisher: Valiant Entertainment
Cover Price: $3.99
Long ago, in the aftermath of history’s first atomic holocaust, Toyo Harada discovered a vision for the perfect future – one that he has vowed to realize with or without the consent of the human race. With a private army of hyper-telekinetics at his side, this omega-powered harbinger of humanity’s potential has spent decades reshaping the world to conform to his will. Now here, for the very first time, witness the origin and rise to power of this malevolent mind that would destroy the Valiant Universe rather than see it slip through his fingers.
Before the paths of Bloodshot and Harbinger collide this April in Harbinger Wars #1 (of 4), discover an essential chapter of the Valiant Universe’s past – and one that could define its future – only in Harbinger #0, featuring a standard cover by Mico Suayan and a wraparound gatefold variant by Lewis Larosa!

Major Spoilers Poll of the Week
For the holiday season, I finally broke down and bought The Boy the Skylanders and Skylanders: Giants games that he had been begging for for the last year. We finally defeated Kaos this past weekend, and found the last two Giants figures he’s been wanting. Now I understand that there is a new Giants figure hitting stores soon, that The Boy already knows about, and a new Skylanders: Swap Force on the way with even more figures… which brings us to this week’s pressing poll.
