It’s been a while and frankly I have no excuse. Tuesday Twist-offs were much easier when I had more time and I really don’t have as much as I did when we first started this site. Even though it’s not Tuesday, I’m putting this out.

With that said, I’ve got a few gems for you people this week along with a mini-rating system (and yeah,’you people’ is pointing out the demographic you are in).

• Amazing Spider-Man #582
• Marvel Zombies 3 #4
• No Hero #3
• X-Men Noir #2
• Sub-Mariner: The Depths #4

My rating system is simply x/10 Twist-offs, so keep up. And five comics works, right? I guess we’ll see…

Cable #10 Cover

After two HUGE weeks in comics, this week brings a much needed break, which is great for my sanity (and my wallet). Still, though, there are a bunch of great comics that you should pick up this week at the shop.

Cable #10

This week brings the end of the “Waiting for the End of the World” arc in Cable. Duane Swierczynski has been rocking this series all along, but this arc has really upped the ante on the whole Messiah Complex thing. Will Bishop succeed in killing Cable and the baby? Probably not. But things should continue to get more interesting as we get closer and closer to the big Messiah War crossover with X-Force.

Dead of Night Featuring Werewolf By Night #1

While we are talking about Duane Swierczynski, he’s got another book coming out this week. The Dead of Night series continues from Marvel MAX imprint with the first issue of this limited series featuring Werewolf By Night. Just like the other 2 Dead of Night series, I know nothing about this character, but this series does a great job bringing these minor horror characters back into the spotlight.

Secret Invasion: War of Kings Cover

Secret Invasion: War of Kings

Coming directly out of the Inhumans Secret Invasion series and leading directly into the upcoming War of Kings cosmic event comes this one-shot. Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning (aka DnA) never fail to write great cosmic tales and this intro into War of Kings should be no different. Check it out!

Punisher #1

Frank Castle finally matters again in the Marvel universe. Punisher relaunches this week with an all new series by Rick Remender. Punisher is mad as hell about the events of Dark Reign and is looking to do some… well… punishing. Check out this first issue for great, bloody action as only the Punisher can bring.

No Hero #3

This week continues Warren Ellis‘ amazing new series, No Hero. We’ve covered how great this series is several times on this site, so you should know you should be buying it. Just thinking about it makes me wish I was at the comic shop right now…

That’s it for this week, ladies and gents. Don’t forget to make your weekly pilgrimage down to the LCS and happy reading!

Marvel 1985 #6 Cover

Jeez. It’s Tuesday already? Things have been crazy in this blogger’s life and I haven’t even finished last week’s comics yet and here we are with a new batch already! Hopefully the other reviews on this site have kept you entertained as I attempt to get back to some sort of schedule where I can actually read and review comics. Nevertheless, I am here to preview your Halloween week comics, so sit back, relax and check out these great comics that will be at your LCS this week!

Marvel 1985 #6

On time and everything, Marvel 1985 wraps up this week. How is this crazy story going to end? And will Mark Millar somehow tie this mini-series back to the main Marvel universe? And how about to his other Marvel books right now? All questions will hopefully be answered tomorrow when issue 6 hits the stands!

So kiddies. This last week was a tiny one for Marvel and since I’m a biased little boy and read primarily Marvel titles I was a bit sad. Nevertheless, Image had some big stuff as did Avatar press: Invincible #53 (which I didn’t get due to some BS with Diamond), Four Eyes #1 and No Hero #1. So I was happy there.

Even still, there were 2 Marvel titles that caught my eye that no one else called for review and here they be for ye:

• Punisher War Journal #24
• Venom: Dark Origin #3

A small week, yes, but let’s proceed. I’ll indulge you with some coolness.

No Hero #1 Cover

There are many creators in comics today that you can call truly great in the medium. Brian Michael Bendis, Grant Morrison, Mark Millar, Robert Kirkman and Geoff Johns all come to mind of the top of my head. But as far as creativity goes and really pushing the boundaries of story telling, I really put Warren Ellis at the top of this list. Not only is his work on mainstream books like Astonishing X-Men great, but he puts out a lot of really amazing creator-owned stuff, too. And his new book, No Hero, is no exception to his greatness.

As many comics are doing lately, No Hero is one of those stories of what superheroes would be like in real life. A subject that probably began, or at least was popularized, but Alan Moore in Watchmen, is represented favorably in No Hero. To put his own twist on the subject, Ellis brings us the tale of a man who wants to be part of a group of vigilantes in a world where the cops just can’t (or won’t) stop crime.

There’s more to come after the break, including, most importantly, my review.

Supergirl #34 Cover

Wow. It’s October already. it feels like just yesterday we were in the middle of July and I was writing about comic book solicitations for this month. And now it is here. For many of us here at DestroyTheCyb.org, classes are in full swing. For me, midterms are already starting next week. Where did this year go? Unfortunately, with more school comes less time for comics. I got way behind last week and here it is Tuesday and I still haven’t finished reading everything from last week.

Luckily, things slow down this week and we all get a little time to catch up. Unfortunately, slow week means not as many good reads. Still, I managed to pick out 4 little gems (from 3 different publishers, no less!). We got a new arc in one of my Marvel favs, a second issue in a really cool Marvel mini-series, a new direction for one of my DC guilty pleasures and my indie pick from one of the biggest names in comics. Don’t go anywhere, weekly previews coming at ya!
