Those who worry that no-one’s around to save the world have nothing to fear with this week’s superhero-heavy new comic releases. But for the superpower-phobic, there’s still a lot to choose from… including something to make Glen Larson proud.
If superheroes are your reading bread and butter, then you’re in for a sandwich feast this week: Between Marvel’s one-off special issues (Wolverine: Mr. X, The Mystic Hands of Doctor Strange, Hulk: Let Battle Begin and a return for the returned WWII heroes The Twelve in The Twelve: Spearhead) and DC’s launching of status-quo altering storylines (Justice League: The Rise And Fall one-shot, set around Green Arrow and his former sidekick, Arsenal, and the first issue of Superman: Last Stand of New Krypton), you’d think you’d be pretty full of costumed derring-do.
But you’d be wrong! Because there’s Avenging to be done in the Avengers/X-Men: Utopia collection and Lockjaw and the Pet Avengers Unleashed series. There’s also a superhero sitcom in the indie book

Also: If you’re feeling nostalgic, and no-one else can help, maybe you could pick up The A-Team: Shotgun Wedding, the first issue of a new prologue to this summer’s blockbuster franchise revamp which may not be science fiction, but, come on: You’ve seen what BA can do with the contents of a barn, right?
As ever, these are just some of the new releases hitting comic stores this week; you can find a full list here, before finding the location of your local store here. Feel free to wander in and tell everyone that you love it when a plan comes together.
