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.

Comics? Marvel haz them. This week we’re looking forward to getting our hands on some New Avengers #4, X-Men #3, Thor #614 and Invaders Now! #1.

When I think awesome WWII adventure, one group that comes to mind is The Invaders. Really, any comic that managed to combine Captain America, the Human Torch, Namor and more into one super-team was always okay in my book.

Over the years The Invaders have undergone a few transformations and have dealt with many issues. Now, Marvel and Dynamite have teamed to create a brand new comic featuring these mighty heroes and have dubbed it Invaders Now. Created by Alex Ross with writer Christos Gage and artist Caio Reiss, the original Invaders are alive and all active at the same time.

When a mysterious force from the past brings the Invaders together, they must do battle like never before. Never before? I’m guessing they’ve probably battled quite a few times like this before. But still, doesn’t mean I’m not going to pick this comic up when it comes out. Yes, I’m a fan. Sue me.

Be sure to check out the gallery of preview images for this comic after the jump. Invaders Now #1 hits comic stores on September 9th.

Dark Reign: Sinister Spider-Man #1 – Marvel $3.99

Score: 7.5

(Sings) “Spider-Man. Spider-Man. Does whatever a spider can. Stops a bank robber. Eats his arm. Kills a stripper. Frames the Mayor. Watch out. Here comes the Spider-Man.” Not exactly the friendly neighborhood wall-crawler we all know and love right? Well of course not because good old Peter Parker isn’t the Spider-Man staring in this issue.

Instead, the Sinister Spider-Man is actually Venom of the Osborn sponsored Dark Avengers, a.k.a. Mac Gargan, a.k.a. the former Scorpion. For those not very familiar with the character, despite the amount of exposure he’s been getting all over Marvel lately by being tied to both Spider-Man and Norman Osborn, the issue gives a fair amount of background about who Venom once was and now is.

The issue starts out with “Genetic Terror of the Third Reich” General Wolfram, or just a Nazi with a dead wolf carcass on his head, robbing a bank in NYC. He is promptly stopped by the cities newly liked savior, Venom posing as the black suited Spider-Man. Venom, enjoying his new found heirdom, takes a moment to soak in the applause, kiss a few girls, and grab a few butts before taking off with Wolfram where he collects the money Wolfram robbed for himself and doing his own version of “taking a bite out of crime.” In other words, he ate Wolfy’s arm.

After a little flashback to his origins as a private detective and the deal he made with now Mayor J. Jonah Jameson that ultimately turned him in to the Scorpion, Venom heads to his favorite hangout, the strip club, where he finds a new favorite dancer, having eaten a previous one. Meanwhile, JJJ deals with the public scrutiny behind his mayoral run, including the rise in crime since his administration began. He is visited by a small, quirky doctor who wants to discuss a Super Villain Rehabilitation program which JJJ promptly shoots down.

Back at Avengers tower, Venom has taken his new favorite dancer back only to get yelled at by Norman for the bank’s missing money and Wolfram’s missing arm. Venom tells himself that Norman has just made his list, but he has other fish to fry first like JjJ who finds Venom’s dead stripper friend in his bed later that night. The issue concludes with a new “villain” popping his head up with the quirky doctor donning a white mask with a symbol like the Punisher’s on it, calling himself the Redeemer who sits in front of a group of villains that Venom had recently taken down.
