What if Thor got the Symbiote suit? We know the story of the black suit, but this is not the hero we know! On Battleworld, Thor needs his armor mended, but he gets more than just a new cape, and becomes even mightier! The Symbiote bonds with the Asgardian and learns what it means to be alive, but when the pair see danger lurking underground on Earth, a battle may lead to a betrayal. What in the Ten Realms would take an interest in such a powerful pairing? What will happen when Loki discovers that there is more to Thor\u2019s new costume? Written by Torunn Gronbekk, with art by Sergio Davila, this is a great alternate symbiote story one-shot. So far, Marvel is doing well with these new What If\u2026? stories!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s Batman versus Robins! But the fight is about more than just the adversaries in front of him. The death of Jim Gordon has affected the city, and it\u2019s going to lead to changes in the lives of Barbara, Bruce, the Robins, and even Waylon, Ozzie, Harvey, and Eddie. With Jack Grimm still plotting against Bruce, things are going to get much worse, before they get better. If they even could get better\u2026 Once again, another excellent issue from Scott Snyder and Nick Dragotta, and after their reveal at HeroesCon of what\u2019s coming, I think it\u2019s just going to get more interesting from here.<\/p>\n\n\n

Dinah is dealing with what she found at the end of issue #1, and working for Hector Hammond is at odds with what she believes. But the only way to get the answer as to who murdered Oliver Queen, is to find out the identity of the Green Arrow Killer. The first suspect is Mia Dearden. There are inconsistencies in what she told police after the first murder, but she says she was trying to help Ollie. Ollie had a secret only Dinah knew about, which leads to more twists in the investigation, and more murders! Is the Green Arrow Killer someone who Dinah should be fighting against, or fighting alongside? Pornsak Pichetshote and Rafael Albuquerque\u2019s class war Absolute Green Arrow is killing it! Literally!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you missed issue #1, the second prints are here too! Grab both and read the story about a Green Arrow that\u2019s less Errol Flynn, and more Michael Myers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Man, what timing on this book. The Trillion Dollar Kid launches this week, and our world just got its first trillionaire. I\u2019ll hold my tongue about that, but I\u2019ll say at least Tommy Townsend III is trying to help people! Ghost Machine\u2019s new all-ages Unbelievables line officially kicks off with this two-part mini, and I\u2019m looking forward to meeting all the new characters they tease here. We\u2019re finally going to meet Mad Ghost! Created by Geoff Johns, Peter J. Tomasi, and Francis Manapul, with art by Stefano Simeone, the world\u2019s first 13-year-old trillionaire starts an adventure to find the strange and unusual Unbelievables that his parents were investigating. Heir to the Sticky Bandages Co, Tommy is a young inventor and the first person in his family to not hide his wealth. Using his fortune to spread joy in his hometown of Cherry Pit, Michigan, he invents lemonade fountains that switch to hot chocolate in the fall, and a roller coaster to take kids to school, but not everyone is happy with them. Accompanied by his robot assistant\/bodyguard, Tommy decides now is the time to start a journey that sets the stage for this new universe! We know the Rocketfellers and Hornsby & Halo from their own series, but we\u2019ll soon get to meet Jean Genie, the Deadtones, and all the icons of Holiday Heights, among others. The story continues in Hornsby & Halo #14, The Rocketfellers #13, and The Trillion Dollar Kid #2!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
