Witness the battle-scarred debut of Valiant's top-secret new hero! As the war or 4001 A.D. rages, the coming of War Mother starts now in an all-new standalone adventure torn from the pages of the summer's biggest comics event!
In the 41st century, much of the planet has been reduced to a barren wasteland. New Japan orbits the Earth as a floating oasis that towers over the ashes of the old world. The survivors of this desolate new age, robbed of the planet's once-lush natural resources, must endure great hardships to survive. Amidst the devastation, one outpost of scientific knowledge has thrived by adhering to a strict code of isolation. But even the denizens of this walled city must venture out into the wasteland to gather supplies from the remnants of what was. This task is designated to one and one alone: War Mother.
But all is not peaceful, even in New Japan. When the space-faring empire begins jettisoning city-sized sectors to Earth during the onset of a civil war, War Mother is called upon with a new mission: mega-salvage! Armed with a newly born sentient sniper rifle, War Mother is a one-woman army bent on sacking the crash-landed sector's technology-laden debris for anything of value to her tribe. But, as calm turns to chaos, Sector 8146 will reveal a telling secret about Earth's true order that will collide War Mother against her community, her code, and her calling...and bring destruction down upon one of humanity's last surviving outposts of order.
Out of the ashes of the summer's most ambitious crossover event, New York Times best-selling writer Fred Van Lente (GENERATION ZERO) and spectacular rising star Tomás Giorello (Conan) introduce the Valiant Universe to the boldest new hero of this century or the next when War Mother makes her history-shattering debut!

Join alien financial planner and science-fiction fan, Ludloo, as he travels throughout the universe sharing the benefits of a sound fiscal portfolio. Now if only he could get the hang of his Singularity Matrix Catalyst his life would be oh-so-much less fraught with danger.
Strange Youth by john legate
In volume 1, little Timmy Davidson introduces his new alien friend to the 4th grade class at P.S. 246 on Show-and-Tell day. As Ludloo tries to demonstrate his ability to travel interstellar distances in the wink of an eye, a mis-calibration in the SMC brings the entire elementary school to a distant planet where strange things are afoot. It's up to Timmy and Ludloo to save the day. If they happen to build a new Food Court at the Mall and help create weapons of mass destruction along the way...so be it.
In volume 2, Ludloo decides it might be best to try a new line of work. He always wanted to be a Special Ops Janitor, and when the opportunity to clean up the Argiope Corporation's orbital space station comes along he jumps at the chance. Of course, they are trying out the prototype Singularity Vacuum packs (the latest thing in quantum cleaning technology) on a provisional basis. What could possibly go wrong?
It's gonna be all sticky sweet today here in unusually sunny Seattle, but the comics inside Zanadu are so hot they just might melt your senses!!! We've got another wave of killer DC Rebirth titles, sports matches to the death, pirate queens and of course, more hyperbole than you can shake a stick at! (plus, Casey tries to make bad jokes, but that just goes badly as one would assume)
Much love to all of our viewers and have a HAPPY NEW COMIC DAY!!

A military machine with a soul, a thinking computer in the form of a man - X-51 is the Machine Man! Abel Stack gave a government-created robot a human face, nurturing the man inside the machine and calling him son. But Stack's death left that son, Aaron, alone and running for his life. The military wants to strip him apart, and mankind doesn't understand him - but in exploits crafted by two of the medium's greatest talents, he'll still redefine humanity. Few comic books were lucky enough to be graced by the work of Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko. Machine Man never saw an issue that wasn't illustrated by one of these creative titans. Now, the complete MACHINE MAN epic is collected for the first time, and in one complete volume! Collecting MACHINE MAN (1978) #1-19 and INCREDIBLE HULK (1968) #235-237.
