Mary Shelley: Monster Hunter #1
Many have wondered how a young woman from nowhere could have come up with one of the most terrifying and enduring monsters in literature.

That’s the question posed by this new series from Aftershock Comics!

X-Men by Peter Milligan Volume 1: Dangerous Liaisons
A totally undersung run on X-Men gets it due. A colony of mutants disappears under mysterious circumstances. Rogue and Gambit get into a tiff to end all tiffs. Mystique’s allegiances slide toward our heroes. And best of all, there’s a killer Black Panther team-up!

They asked Jonathan Hickman & Dustin Weaver to give them the history of S.H.I.E.L.D. But no one expected this. Ancient history becomes modern drama in this storyline many years in the making as only Hickman can tell it with jaw-dropping art from Dustin Weaver.
