She’s done being savage…now it’s time to be sensational! Industry legend John Byrne launches She-Hulk’s second solo series with a twist — because Shulkie knows she’s a character in a comic book! As the jade giantess smashes the glass ceiling at her new law firm, she does the same to the “fourth wall” between character and audience — quipping with readers and arguing with her comic’s creators as she takes on bizarre foes including the Circus of Crime, the Toad Men, Stilt-Man and Xemnu the Titan! Plus, Jen meets Golden Age heroine the Blonde Phantom, and learns harsh lessons about the rules of comics! The mayhem of Madcap! A wedding proposal like no other! And She-Hulk: The Movie?!

In 1972, one of the most iconic characters in comic book history, the flame-skulled Ghost Rider, burned his demonic presence into readers’ minds. Forevermore, a legion of fans were addicted to the Rider’s combination of hell-on-wheels drama and action-horror adventure. And it begins here when Johnny Blaze makes a deal with the devil to save his friend’s life. The payment due? Transformation into the Ghost Rider. The stories that follow will take the horror hero to Hell to battle Satan, pit him against the tempting Witch-Woman and team him with Daimon Hellstrom, Son of Satan. Written by Gary Friedrich and Tony Isabella and gloriously illustrated by Mike Ploog, Tom Sutton and Jim Mooney.

Bruce Banner is in charge — but for how long? After returning from the Beyonder’s Battleworld, Banner’s precarious hold on the Hulk’s savage persona has begun to slip, threatening to destroy the happiness he’s finally attained! And when the fighting-mad Hulk comes roaring back, it leads to a no-holds-barred battle against the entire Marvel Universe — and a shocking twist! Now, banished to the mysterious and deadly Crossroads dimension by Doctor Strange, a nearly mindless Hulk must claw his way back from the edge of insanity! As he battles the U-Foes, the N’Garai and a parade of ever more bizarre foes, the Hulk will confront aspects of his own fractured psyche. But how did Bruce’s tragic childhood shape the monster within?

The stories that built the Marvel Universe, from the brilliant minds of legendary creators — now available in an accessible new format the whole family can enjoy! Brought together to fight the Marvel Universe’s biggest menaces, Iron Man, Thor, Giant-Man and the Wasp were heavy hitters — but Marvel heroes don’t just fight crime; they live, dream, argue — and even fall out! In an innovative twist that would come to define the Avengers, Stan Lee chose to have the team’s original members depart, leaving Captain America to carry on with new allies: Hawkeye, Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch — all former foes, now conflicted and newly minted heroes who completed a dynamic, unpredictable and exciting new quartet! Featuring the menaces of Kang the Conqueror, Count Nefaria, Baron Zemo’s Masters of Evil, the Swordsman and more! Avengers Reassemble!
