This movie is going to ROCK. I'll be going to see it on the day after its released (May 3rd, which is also Free Comic Book Day, WOO HOO!). This movie looks really, really good. Then again, that's what I thought about Spiderman 3, and looked how that turned out:snooty:

The first issue of Cap’s ongoing super-spy thriller takes off here!
The new Captain Action has to take down the superhuman targets who have been co-opted by the Red Crawl. He’s got to put them out of commission in a hurry…by whatever means necessary. Cap learns there’s an extra bonus by using the dermaplast genetic manipulation gunk to disguise himself as someone else…but the bonus comes at a price! And yes, we know you’ve heard this before, but man-o-man, be ready for this SHOCKER of an ending!

**Also in this cant-miss issue, Moonstone’s first appearance of MANDRAKE the MAGICIAN by Mike Bullock!

A MOONSTONE CRIME WAVE Event!

Jonah Hex’s Justin Gray brings to us:
Action, violence, love, loss, and psychosis...,
In a city that can swallow you whole, only one man can find what cannot be found.
Ninette Moeller steps off a flight from Paris and onto the mean streets of
New York City. She's after one LUCIEN DENALI, a man who has done unspeakable damage to her. She hires the tireless MR. KEEN: Tracer of Lost Persons,
to hunt him down. Sure, it sounds easy-the man's a big name in the
underworld, getting him in their sights should be no sweat...but Denali's
bulletproof, like ten inches of Kevlar.


"Justin Gray has weaved together a fantastic noir story, chock full of foreshadowing an allusion."- ComiXtreme.com

"Those of you who are into the mature, darker-side-of-humanity stories need to read this." -BrokenFrontier.com

"The book is a very enjoyable romp into Vertigo territory, with enough attitude, violence and sexual tension to satisfy just about anybody."

Be here for the return of the world's most inscrutable secret agent!
Pulitzer Prize winner John P. Marquand's creation makes his comics debut!
With the end of World War Two, KEN TAKASHI is released from an internment camp. Instead of being greated by a culture that should be ashamed of what it did to so many innocent men and women, he finds himself surrounded by bigots, still quick to dehumanize any Asian it comes across. Frustrated, humiliated, and without many options he is met by MR. MOTO. He is there to help Ken, many times-but his motives are his own, and he may show Ken that he has much more to lose than he could ever have dreamed.
Written by Eisner nominee Rafael Nieves!
***RETAILER INCENTIVE: buy 2 copies each of “Mr Keen”, and “Mr Moto”, and receive one free copy of each!***
