Cover of the Week: Bone Orchard - The Tenement #3

ADDAMS FAMILY BODIES #1

Wednesday Addams doesn't feel like she fits in anywhere - not even at home after she discovers a beauty magazine in her Uncle Fester's room that tells her all about how she should look and act.

It doesn't keep her down for long, however, as she quickly realizes that rather than change herself, it would be more fun to make over her family and force them to accept the societal norms they all normally reject.

Reprinting the IDW one-shot, this spin-off from the animated The Addams Family movie features all your favourite characters, including Gomez, Morticia, Pugsley, Lurch, Thing…

...and, of course, Wednesday.

Featuring a new macabre cover by Chynna Clugston Flores (Blue Monday), this kicks off a whole new run of comics featuring the creepy, kooky, altogether spooky Addams Family!

IMMORTAL THOR #1

AL EWING, MARTIN COCCOLO & ALEX ROSS GIVE THE GOD OF THUNDER THE 'IMMORTAL' TREATMENT!

In Norse myths, they called him Thunderer. Vuer has he been called, and Hloriddi. The Gods know him as Asgard's King, keeper of Mjolnir, hero of the tales.

When injustice grips the Earth and ancient powers bring down the sky, he fights for those who cannot - and when the tale is done, we will know what that cost him.

This is the story of THE IMMORTAL THOR!

PLUS: A bonus page written by Jonathan Hickman - WHO ARE THE G.O.D.S.?

JENA GREY #1

SUPERSTAR CREATORS TAKE JEAN GREY'S LEGACY TO FIERY NEW HEIGHTS!

After the events of the Hellfire Gala, Jean's life is in shambles. Mutantkind is in dire straits - and there's nothing this founding X-Man can do.

She'll have to save herself first.

And that means looking into her past - for the moment when it all went wrong - in a desperate attempt to save her and all Krakoa's future.

Legendary writer Louise Simonson returns to the X-Men with a story full of fan-favorite moments, heartrending revelations and pulse-pounding devastation!

MARVEL UNLEASHED #1

KRAVEN UNLEASHES THE BEASTS!

When Kraven abducts Lockjaw at the same time a local scientist mixed up with A.I.M. goes missing, it's up to Throg the Frog of Thunder, Redwing the Falcon, Chewie the Cat Flerken, Lucky the Pizza Dog, Bats the Ghost Dog and their scrappy new ally D-Dog to save the day!

But there's more to this case than meets the eye, and something infernal lurks in the shadows.

Can feathers, fangs and claws stand against one of the deadliest foes in the Marvel Universe?

PENGUIN #1

REVENGE IS FOR THE BIRDS!

After retiring to Metropolis following his death, Oswald Cobblepot finds himself forced back into the unpredictable and violent Gotham City underworld as a pawn for the United States intelligence community!

Gotham's criminal element has been evolving since he was last in the city, with his bastard twin children ruling the Iceberg Lounge.

And what of the man he framed for his death--Batman?

Is the Penguin walking into a death sentence?

From award-winning and bestselling writer Tom King (Batman, The Human Target) and artist Stefano Gaudiano (Gotham Central, The Walking Dead) comes a bloody, hard-boiled tale of redemption and revenge!

REALM OF X #1

Leaping straight from the astonishing events of this year's Hellfire Gala, the unlikely team of Magik, Mirage, Marrow, Dust and Typhoid Mary find themselves stranded in...

...Vanaheim?!

And what's even more confusing, the locals seem to believe that they hold the key to fulfilling a prophecy that can either raise the realm to riches - or cause it to fall to ruin.

With Magik's powers malfunctioning and a mysterious figure amassing power on the outskirts of the realm, these X-Men are going to have to band together if they want to stay alive long enough to find their way home!
