THE SPY, THE SPACEMAN. THE GODDESS. THE ROBOT. THE GORILLA. In the late 1950's, The U.S. Government let FBI Special Agent Jimmy Woo forge a team of unlikely heroes: Together they stormed the fortress of a criminal mastermind to rescue President Eisenhower, and the group disbanded soon after. Now almost 50 years later, an unauthorized S.H.I.E.L.D. mission goes down in flames--and from the ashes arise forces from the GOLDEN AGE OF MARVEL!
32 PGS./T+ ...$2.99
Ok being a big What If? geek I remember when they did this version of the "Avengers" in What If #9. And also when Kurt Busiek used them again in Avengers Forever. So I am kinda geeked to see this. Jeff Parker did a cool independent OGN called the Interman so I think he could nail this one. More info on this one at Comic Book Resources.

Re-presenting the giant-sized 275th issue of UNCANNY X-MEN from April 1991! In space, the X-Men help Profesor X, Lilandra and the Starjammers overthrow Deathbird's rule of the Shi'ar Empire -- but is everything what it seems?

Kind of embarrassed to admit I want to buy this, but I remember enjoying all the craziness in these issues and it has the Starjammers so it cant be all bad, can it?
MARVEL WESTERNS: STRANGE WESTERNS STARRING THE BLACK RIDER
Written by STEVE ENGLEHART & JOE R. LANSDALE
Penciled by MARSHALL ROGERS & RAFA GARRES
Cover by MARSHALL ROGERS & ERIC POWELL
Reuniting the comic legends Steve Englehart and Marshall Rogers (BATMAN: DARK DETECTIVE)-the famed writer/artist team tell an all-new tale of Marvel's dark Western avenger, THE BLACK RIDER. When a mystery brings mild-mannered Doc Masters to New York City, rooftops and dangerous allies lead his dark alter ego to answers that will shock him to his very soul.
PLUS: A dark and devilish 8-page tale featuring a cursed weapon and the man known as GUNHAWK in "Midnight Gun" by Joe R. Lansdale and Rafa Garres.
ALSO: Re-presenting two classic Kirby RAWHIDE KID tales, "The Bat Strikes" and "The Bullet Proof Man."
48 PGS./Rated T+ ...$3.99
I love western comics. Check. Steve Englehart and Marshall Rogers. Check. Joe R. Lansdale. Check. What could go wrong. I have yet to read anything that Englehart and Rogers have done that I havent liked. And Joe R. Lansdale made Jonah Hex cool once again. Looks like a winner to me.

OK I odnt read Exiles as single issues, but this may be a an exception. This could be a great send-up of Wolverine which cant be a bad thing.

Previews
Gotham By Gaslight: I loved both of these. I may get the collection.
Trials of Shazam: this may be interesting now that Billy has to sit in the Rock of Eternity.
Too many of the MC2 collection are coming out in digest form. But I'm glad there's more of it coming out.
