If there’s one character who deserves a better big screen treatment, it’s The Punisher. Not that the previous two movies were bad, they just weren’t as good as the more recent Marvel movies like Iron Man or The Avengers. And that’s a shame.

Fortunately, Marvel continues to feature the character in comics. And coming this February:

Frank Castle’s one-man-war on crime continues in an all-new THE PUNISHER #1 – from the explosive creative team of Nathan Edmondson and Mitch Gerads! For years, the Punisher has called New York City his home – keeping a watchful eye on the city through the sight of a gun.

Sound good so far. To get you more interested, we’ve got previews of the upcoming comic. But before that, here’s a bit more about it from Marvel:

When a lead on a major source of drugs, weapons, and more leads Frank out west – he sets his sights on Los Angeles. And the City of Angels isn’t ready for a devil like the Punisher! But not everything is as it appears, and Frank will soon find himself toe-to-toe with a highly trained military strike force known only as the 131! Who are the mysterious 131? And why are they out for the Punisher’s head?

Check out the previews after the break. Look for The Punisher #1 to arrive in stores, and digital, on February 5.

Even with all the movie and TV news coming out these days, let’s not forget about comics. In fact, when the comics in question are this cool, we can’t help but be excited.

The new comic we’re talking about is Marvel’s upcoming reboot of Invaders. Here’s more on the new series (including preview pages of course):

In a bid to conquer the universe, the Kree Empire has discovered a way to weaponize Norse Gods. It falls to Brothers-in-arms Captain America, The Winter Soldier, Namor, and The Original Human Torch to re-band for a different kind of war. One that will force them to face the future and save the Earth from the Kree Empire.

“James Robinson and Steve Pugh have put 120% of their talents into this project,” said Senior Editor Mark Paniccia. “The end-result is an exciting superhero adventure dropping this legendary team into the current Marvel Universe at hyper drive.”

Check out the previews after the break. Look for Invaders #1 to arrive on January 22.

There’s no doubt that one of the most popular characters in the Marvel Universe is Wolverine. This is true for many reasons, but a lot of it has to do with just how badass he is.

But suppose there were two Wolverines? Who would win in a fight between these two titans if they did fight? Well, you just might get a chance to see in the upcoming 20th issue of X-Men, straight from Marvel comics.

Here’s all you need to know:

Marvel is pleased to present your first look at the action-packed All-New X-Men #20, from the blockbuster creative team of Brian Michael Bendis, Brandon Peterson & Mahmud Asrar! There’s a new student at the New Xavier School – and she’s not too happy her new “campus” is housed inside a former Weapon X facility!

X-23 wants answers – and she’s not going to ask nicely. But before she gets then, she and the All-New X-Men must face down a heavily armed squad of mutant-hunting Purifiers! And Laura may just find comfort in the arms of one of her new teammates – young Cyclops of the All-New X-Men!

We’ve got preview of X-Men #20 right after the break. Look for the comic to hit shelves, and digital, on December 15th.

Comics Friday (well, it is Friday at least) kicks off with previews of Marvel’s upcoming next issue Age of Ultron #10A.I.. Yes, we realize that’s a rather odd title for a comic but when you consider what’s inside, you’ll understand.

Speaking of inside, we’ve got prevew pages for the new isue after the break. Meantime, here’s what you need to know about this issue’s story:

From Eisner Award winning writer Mark Waid & red-hot artist Andre Araujo, founding Avenger Hank Pym, stands at a crossroads! Faced with a dilemma only he can solve, Pym must gamble his past AND his future! By the end of this issue, one of the smartest men in the Marvel Universe will have an entirely new role, but will he have been redeemed?

Age of Ultron #10 A.I. hits comic book stores and digital on June 26.

In the comics world, writer Steve Niles has enjoyed (and does enjoy) a tremendous amount of success and respect. His major work, 30 Days of Night, was a master class in creating a high-concept yet deeply poignant and horrifically scary comic.

His latest creation, Breath of Bones, looks to be carrying on the fine tradition established by 30 Days of Night. The story is simple: The giant clay monster from Jewish legend goes on a Nazi-killing rampage in order to protect the inhabitants of a small Jewish stronghold and an injured British pilot.

But that’s where the simple ends. But to give away any more would be spoiling it for you. Instead, we’ve got some preview pages for you to enjoy.

Look for Breath of Bones #1 in stores June 12. Check out all the pages after the break.
