This week’s pull list is not super-exciting. Marvel’s taken a vacation. They’ve got Fantastic Four Secret Invasion #2 coming out, and Captain America #39 (possible delay). But, nothing to real wet your mouth watering.

It’s the final chapter of the epic search for Kryptonite, as the Man of Steel must confront an old and dear friend who’s harboring the “K” and threatening to set off “Kryptonite dirty bombs” around the world. Can the Dark Knight prevent this before Earth is made uninhabitable for all Kryptonians?

CAPTAIN AMERICA #39
Okay, what the heck is going on here? Is that two guys in Captain America outfits? Yeah, it is.
More than that, we cannot say.
The epic Death of Captain America continues in Part Three of “The Man Who Bought America” by the acclaimed team of Brubaker and Epting.
SECRET INVASION: FANTASTIC FOUR # 2

Forget worldwide domination, hell hath no fury like a Skrull scorned…
WOLVERINE # 66
“OLD MAN LOGAN” Part 1 (of 8 )
MARK MILLAR and STEVE MCNIVEN, who last teamed for the monumental CIVIL WAR, bring us the most important WOLVERINE story of the 21st Century. Nobody knows what happened on the night the heroes fell. All we know is that they disappeared and evil triumphed and the bad guys have been calling the shots ever since. What happened to Wolverine is the biggest mystery of all. For 50 years, no one has heard hide nor hair from him … and in his place stands an old man called Logan. A man concerned only about his family. A man pushed to the brink by the HULK GANG. A man forced to help an old friend, the blind archer, HAWKEYE… to drive three thousand miles to secure his family’s safety. Get ready for the ride of your life, Logan.
