Highlights from Marvel's October offerings:
JOHN CARTER of Mars: world of mars #1 (of 5)
Based on the Novel by Edgar Rice Burroughs
Written by PETER DAVID
Art by LUKE ROSS
Cover by ESAD RIBIC
If you thought all the action on Mars began with the arrival of John Carter—are you in for a shock! John Carter: World of Mars is the official prequel to the upcoming Walt Disney Pictures blockbuster film releasing March 2012 and reveals the shocking events that transpire before the hotly anticipated motion picture! Plus it features some of the greatest characters ever conceived by Edgar Rice Burroughs, including Princess Dejah Thoris, the valiant, four-armed Tars Tarkas, John Carter and Burroughs himself!
Dejah Thoris has yet to meet the love of her life, but she has her hands full with the malicious Sab Than, would-be ruler of Zodanga, who sees kidnapping the princess of Mars as a short-cut to winning the thousand year war between his people and her city of Helium. Meanwhile Tars Tarkas is not yet the leader of his people, but instead an unambitious warrior who is caught between the desires of the female he loves and his best friend who needs Tars's help to become Jeddak of the Tharks...assuming that his ambitions don't kill them all. It’s a compelling tale of romance, court intrigue and an unending war on a distant world. Take an unforgettable journey to Barsoom. It’s a trip you can’t afford to miss!

Then, both teams unite to face the menace of the Shadow King, leading into an all-new era as the X-Men evolve once again — becoming more than merely Uncanny! And they’ll need to be in full fighting form when Magneto gains a cult following, Omega Red returns to menace Wolverine, the time-traveling Bishop joins the team, and the alien Brood assimilate Ghost Rider! All this and Mojo, too — or is it Mojo II? — as the X-Men’s most iconic creators catapult the team into the 1990s! Collecting UNCANNY X-MEN (1963) #273-280, X-FACTOR (1986) #63-70, GHOST RIDER (1990) #26-27, and X-MEN (1991) #1-9 and material from #10-11.

A return to Hala reveals the Supreme Intelligence’s master plan for Cap and Rick, and the residents of Earth aren’t going to like it one bit. Topped off with menaces including Ronan the Accuser, Drax the Destroyer and the Stranger; team-ups with Ant-Man and the Wasp; and appearances of cosmic Marvel lynchpins the Universal Church of Truth and the Soul Gem.

And to take us out on a soaring note of nail-biting drama just after the FF come together under the announcement of Sue Richards’ pregnancy, the ever-lovin’, blue-eyed Thing tells his teammates to take a powder — leaving them to face the Mad Thinker and his awesome android on their own!

INVINCIBLE IRON MAN VOL. 2 HC
Written by MATT FRACTION
Penciled by SALVADOR LARROCA & JAMIE MCKELVIE
Cover by SALVADOR LARROCA
He’s outrun Norman Osborn, and kept the database of superhuman secret identities safe and secure. But in doing so, Tony Stark has lost just about everything: his armor, his power — even his very mind. Now, at his absolute lowest point, it will take Tony’s last reservoir of will — and a band of brothers including Thor, Captain America, War Machine and Black Widow — to keep from losing it all and sow the seeds for a brighter tomorrow. Stark Industries’ arms-manufacturing days are over: Tony’s new company, Stark Resilient, is bringing modern tech to the masses without bringing innocent people to their knees. But there’s a competitor on the scene, a mother/daughter team with a very familiar name ready to pick up the slack with an armor called Detroit Steel. They’ve started a deadly game of international intrigue that will bring one of Iron Man’s deadliest foes back into the fray — but for the Hammer girls, that was merely the opening salvo. With War Machine grounded by the Pentagon, Pepper missing the RT-charged heart that made her Rescue and Tony’s Resilient team struggling to put their clean-energy tech into production, they’re about to up the ante. Now, Iron Man’s going to find out just what “resilient” really means. Collecting INVINCIBLE IRON MAN #20-33.
