And lastly, it's finally time for the big throw down between the Red Hulk and the Green Hulk in Hulk #4...expect lots of smashing.

 

 

Gambit Returns!

Following the explosive events of last issue, X-Men: Legacy #213 (a Divided We Stand tie-in) picks up right where the action-packed firefight left off! With the surprising return of the Ragin Cajun, Gambit, Charles must resume putting the pieces of his memory back together while continuing to ward off opposition. X-Men: Legacy #213, written by superstar writer Mike Carey, will shed some light on a particular sinister x-villain that may have had something to do with Xavier's childhood. Combined with the rich pencils of Scot Eaton, the return of everyone's favorite New Orleans 's native has this issue packed with so much kinetic energy it will be exploding off store shelves.

 "Solid story, interesting plot developments, great art, it is hard to ask for more out of a comic book." said Comicbulletin.com's Christopher Power. Also, IGN.com's Daniel Crown mentions, "X-Men Legacy is undeniably an interesting take on the X-Men, and specifically Charles Xavier, but more importantly it's a good one."

Be sure to check orders on all X-Titles as all Divided We Stand titles as they continue to generate rave reviews and reveal the future (and history) of mutantkind!

How far can Remy LeBeau take Charles along his quest to trace his past? To find out what role Gambit's former love has in Xavier's quest and what the shocking revelations are surrounding Sebastian Shaw, be sure to pick X-Men: Legacy #213!

Whedon's Runaway Smash Hit Concludes!

Joss Whedon's final issue on Runaways is here! Runaways #30, the final issue in Whedon's and superstar artist Michael Ryan's time traveling epic ties everything up and wraps it in an antique bow. With our heroes trapped in 1907, they continue to try and find a way back to the future they belong in. But once a super-powered war breaks out on the streets of New York , it makes finding a solution that much harder. This is the arc has everyone talking and raving about Runaways!

of Comicsbulletin.com says "It's all rather eventful, and Whedon makes it enjoyable, delivering the trademark Runaways dialogue that Brian K. Vaughan established" and Daniel Crown of IGN.com states "Rough, yet strangely endearing. And most importantly, at least to me, it feels definitively different from the current Marvel Universe, serving its purpose as a nice break from the status quo."

This series has been a smash hit from the beginning of Whedon's run right up to the very end. Will our heroes find their way back and will someone else be joining them? Find out in Whedon's monumental conclusion Runaways #30!
