WOLVERINE NO MORE?
After the events of KILLABLE, Wolverine has something to prove. Before he can take on Sabretooth again,
he’ll need to build himself back up, get better and stronger than he’s ever been…but it’s not as easy as
he thought, and he’ll soon find himself turning to other means of revenge when the normal channels don’t
seem to be working fast enough. Can he fight back his demons, or is this the beginning of a Wolverine
who’s gone to the dark side?

SHE-HULK #1
JENNIFER WALTERS IS…THE SHE-HULK! A stalwart Avenger, valued member of the FF, savior of the
world on more than one occasion, she’s also a killer attorney with a pile of degrees and professional
respect. A 7-foot-tall drink of cool, emerald water, she’s tough enough to knock out Galactus with one
punch (possibly?) and has a heart bigger than the moon. But juggling cases and kicking bad guy butt
is starting to be a little more complicated than she anticipated. With a new practice, a new paralegal
and a mounting number of super villains she’s racking up as personal enemies, She Hulk might have
bitten off a little more than she can chew…but she just calls that that Tuesday.

Cover by JAMIE MCKELVIE
They say you can never go home. For the Young Avengers, that’s not true. They can go home — it’s just that if they do,
the universe may end. The team takes on the gig to save reality, but is Kate Bishop an enemy in waiting? Will Noh-Varr
get an arrow through the head? And is this the end of the loveable/strangle-able Kid Loki? As the Young Avengers take
on “the Young Avengers,” Loki’s scheme reaches its final twist — and the Young Avengers’ jaws hit the floor. Then, the
team gathers in a nightclub for a string of connected and overlapping stories illustrated by an all-star cast of people we
really like. And as the New Year looms, the Young Avengers get a resolution — and so do you. Plus: Kissing! Drama!
