COMICS

As part of Rebirth, Dan Jurgens—one of the most influential talents to work on Superman, with a major role in events such as the Death of Superman and the wedding of Clark Kent and Lois Lane—returned to Action Comics, the longest-running series in superhero comic book history, to tell all-new stories of comics’ first and greatest superhero. These stories, written by Jurgens and illustrated by artists including Patrick Zircher and Tyler Kirkham, are now collected in their first omnibus volume! After an extinction-level event that shattered the cosmos, Superman found himself in a world very much like his own, but populated by a new breed of younger, angrier heroes—including a whole new Superman. And when that Superman fell in the line of duty, the original Man of Steel stepped up to take his place. But at what cost? No sooner does the legendary hero take to the skies than his greatest enemies emerge to face him, from Metropolis’ self-styled protector Lex Luthor to the engine of death and destruction known as Doomsday.

No one is safe from the Thunderbolts! Bucky Barnes – the former Winter Soldier now known as the Revolution – just inherited a mountain of covert intel, and he has one objective: justice, like lightning! He’s going after the establishment, the people no one else is willing or able to take down, and he’ll do whatever it takes to win. Teaming with the mysterious Contessa Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, Bucky assembles a team of black-ops heavy hitters – including the Black Widow, the White Widow and Shang-Chi – to pursue high-profile targets like the Red Skull, Kingpin and even Doctor Doom himself! But do even they have the firepower required to stop the American Kaiju from destroying Hong Kong? Plus: Learn the reason why Bucky made a powerful enemy in Wilson Fisk!

A classic villain makes his debut in Ultimate form, turning the Baxter Building into a virtual trap set to capture and eliminate the fledgling adventurers. But what does that mean for the skyscraper’s other denizens — including Johnny and Sue’s father? And who has the power to outthink Reed Richards? Then, from a hidden race, she comes to steal the heart of the Human Torch. Meet the beautiful elemental Inhuman called Crystal! But when Reed uses his scientific genius to contact an Earth in a surprisingly familiar parallel dimension, the team is not ready for the frightful version of the FF they are soon meet! Plus: The Storm family’s shocking secret is finally revealed! Ultimate Namor sets his sights on ruling the planet! And a guilt-ridden Reed attempts to undo his greatest failure — using time travel to cure the Thing. But be careful what you wish for!

After their intense battle with the Kingpin, Green Goblin and Spider-Man both know they aren’t as ready to reshape the world as they hoped. Harry and Peter get to work, while Ben and Jonah search for “the truth” — and problems for their resistance arise when the Ultimates return! But they’re not the only team in town: The Kingpin has gathered six sinister super villains to deal with his masked-vigilante problem. And that isn’t the only challenge Spider-Man will face! Meanwhile, Green Goblin joins forces with…Doc Ock?! And with Tony Stark back, Peter must also explore his new suit’s limitations.

In the aftermath of Ultimate Invasion, Peter Parker’s life has been remade. Due to the Maker’s sinister interference, a teenage Peter never encountered the radioactive spider that gave him his superpowers. Now leading an ordinary life as a happily married husband to Mary Jane and a proud father of two, Peter Parker has never experienced life as a super hero—until Iron Man appears with an offer to reclaim what was lost and put Peter back on the path he was always meant to walk. Now, as the Kingpin tightens his grip on New York City and the Green Goblin makes his presence felt, Peter finds himself drawn into a web of shifting alliances and dangerous agendas. Friends may not be the allies he hoped for, and new threats push him further into a life he never imagined living – one where protecting the city could mean risking everything waiting for him at home.
