Film director and screenwriter Greg Pak’s first feature, the sci-fi anthology Robot Stories, won 35 awards; he broke into the comics industry when his agent sent Marvel the screenplay. After writing a Warlock reboot, Pak made a splash with the X-Men: Phoenix — Endsong miniseries and a lengthy run on Incredible Hulk, highlighted by the “Planet Hulk” storyline and the World War Hulk crossover. In addition to the acclaimed Magneto: Testament and Red Skull: Incarnate miniseries, a War Machine revival and the retitled Incredible Hulks, Pak has written Dynamite’s Battlestar Galactica and contributed to Secret Identities: The Asian American Superhero Anthology. His efforts with co-writer Fred Van Lente include Incredible Hercules, Herc, Heroic Age: Prince of Power, an Alpha Flight relaunch and the Chaos War crossover.

Though a professional illustrator and architect in her native Spain, Emma Rios would rather you call her a comic artist. Her first American work, for Mark Waid’s BOOM! Studios title Hexed, went so well Waid drafted her to draw his Marvel miniseries Strange — starring the titular Master of the Mystic Arts, Doctor Strange. She has also collaborated with Sean McKeever on his Firestar one-shot, Zeb Wells on Shadowland: Elektra and Amazing Spider-Man, Kelly Sue DeConnick on Osborn, and Nick Spencer on Spider-Island: Cloak and Dagger.

The shadow of Fear Itself looms over Asgard, and only Loki holds the key to stopping the impending war between Odin’s army and the Serpent! With Thor imprisoned by the All-Father, and the rest of Asgard mistrustful of the young reincarnation of the god of mischief, Loki takes what help he can get from his new avian advisor Ikol, the undead Tyr, God of Battles, and a bloodthirsty Hel wolf, and journeys to the underworld. There he hopes to best the Serpent’s devious machinations and undermine the god of fear’s plan for world domination. But ever the trickster, when it comes to Loki, nothing is as it seems!

The Thunderbolts stare into the face of fear! A mystical hammer falls from the sky and lands on the Raft, possessing the mind and body of the unstoppable Juggernaut — who becomes a servant to the Asgardian god of fear! With the prison compromised, the remaining Thunderbolts must quell an insurrection by hundreds of freed super-criminals and the dissent spreading among their ranks, as some of the team members see the chaos of Fear Itself as an ideal moment to make their escape.

Would the real Wade Wilson please stand up?

Deadpool returns to America, but he’s not coming home alone! When a collection of Deadpool’s discarded body parts meld to form an evil clone, the Merc With a Mouth faces off against himself for the crown of most hated former mercenary turned super hero turned pirate turned intergalactic bounty hunter. But their explosive confrontation brings the NYPD, Interpol and even Captain America bearing down on Deadpool, and he’ll have to convince them all there’s an even crazier, less principled version of himself on the loose!

What if everthing you thought was funny about Deadpool…was actually just disturbing? What if he decided to kill everyone and everything that makes up the Marvel Universe? What if he actually pulled it off? Would that be FUN for you? The Merc with a Mouth takes a turn for the twisted in a horror comic like no other…

Beginning his career in animation working on such films as The Iron Giant, Anastasia and Titan A.E., Rick Remender has since become a comic-book triple threat — writing, penciling and inking numerous fan-favorite series. Remender served as writer on hit videogames Dead Space and Bulletstorm, while providing art for punk/metal bands like NOFX and 3 Inches of Blood. He’s co-created many popular independent titles, including the critically-acclaimed Fear Agent with longtime collaborators Tony Moore and Jerome Opeña. His time at Marvel started on Punisher and has since led him to well-received runs on Uncanny X-Force, Venom and Secret Avengers.

Artist Mike McKone was pegged as a future industry superstar when his first work was published in DC’s JLA and Legion. In 2001, McKone collaborated with writer Judd Winick to launch Marvel’s Exiles, a surprise hit among X-fans. Two years later, he teamed with writer Geoff Johns to revamp Teen Titans for DC. Since signing an exclusive contract with Marvel, McKone’s credits include Fantastic Four, Amazing Spider-Man and Avengers Academy.

But none of this changes the fact that he’s got his sights aimed squarely on the most powerful man in the country: Wilson Fisk, the Kingpin of Crime. Fearing for his life and paranoid, the Kingpin brings in a new bodyguard, the best money can buy: a hard-as-nails woman going by the name of Elektra. But can Elektra really shield him from what the Punisher is planning, especially when Fisk seems more interested in trying to get her into his bed? The Punisher begins his final assault on the Kingpin — and only one of them will walk away alive.

At last! The time-stranded heroes of WWII are back! Who’s behind the mysterious killings? The answer is electrifying — and one member of the Twelve will fall! It’s madness, mayhem and more madness as the WWII heroes face off against the killer that has targeted them for death! All your questions will be answered, but nothing can prepare you for what comes next!

Plagued by the victim’s helpless cry, Storm — despite an ominous warning — investigates. Soon, he’ll discover an international conspiracy reaching further than he ever imagined — and perhaps the truth about Clara Strike, a CIA agent the world thinks is dead! Richard Castle’s Storm Season reunites the lauded writing duo of Brian Michael Bendis and Kelly Sue DeConnick (Richard Castle’s Deadly Storm) for their second Castle story, and the dynamic artwork of rising star Emanuela Lupacchino (X-Factor) brings the world of Derrick Storm to life like never before.

The Serpent’s wave of terror has targeted Namor’s underwater kingdom. Down but not out, the SubMariner calls upon old friend Dr. Strange for help.

And backed by a team of allies including the Silver Surfer and the Savage She-Hulk Lyra, he means to take back what is his! Meanwhile, the shockwave of fear hits the surface world. Believing the coming destruction as a sign from God, the mutant-hating Purifiers launch an attack of their own — engineering the mass suicide of innocent humans. Wolverine and the black-ops squad X-Force aim to find out who’s responsible for the suicide epidemic.

When a dormant group of rogue S.T.R.I.K.E. agents gains control of a H.A.M.M.E.R. helicarrier and threatens to unleash its nuclear payload on New York, only Wolverine stands in the way. The best there is at what he does will have to wade through a squadron of genetically enhanced super-soldiers to stop the madman at the helm of the flying death machine before he wipes out the Eastern seaboard.

Then, while the X-Men struggle to stop the Juggernaut in San Francisco, Dani Moonstar seeks the aid of Hela, Asgardian Queen of the Dead.

But a deadly villain from the Invaders’ past has found his way to the future and marked Davis for death, setting up a mystery that ties together generations of heroes — one Steve Rogers and the original Human Torch must solve before the legacy of Captain America is usurped by evil!

The Serpent Society has come in to possession of one of the most vicious weapons on Earth: a device that causes instant madness. The result? Hundreds — potentially thousands — of otherwise normal citizens scratching, clawing, fighting and dying in a melee of epic proportions. It’s the kind of threat Cap has faced before — but now, his worst nightmares are coming true. Is Steve really devolving into the 98-pound weakling he was before taking Dr. Erskine’s Super-Soldier Serum? Does the secret to saving him lie in a cure — or in his own mind?
