MARVEL MASTERWORKS: DEATHLOK VOL. 1 HC

Written by RICH BUCKLER, DOUG MOENCH, BILL MANTLO, J.M. DeMATTEIS, DAVID ANTHONY KRAFT, MARV WOLFMAN, RALPH MACCHIO & MARK GRUENWALD

Penciled by RICH BUCKLER, MIKE ZECK, SAL BUSCEMA, RON WILSON & JOHN BYRNE

Cover by RICH BUCKLER

The MARVEL MASTERWORKS enter Phase Two of the Marvel Age of Comics with the debut of one of comics’ most unique heroes—Deathlok! No longer a man, but a mockery of a man, an amalgam of reanimated flesh and computer circuitry, military strategist Col. Luther Manning has been locked in a state of living death. Stripped of his family, his humanity, but not his will, Manning has become the cyborg, Deathlok the Demolisher—a weapon of war programmed solely for destruction. A challenging blend of science fiction and psychological war journal, Deathlok set the pace for anti-heroes in the turbulent post-Watergate ’70s. Illustrated by Rich Buckler and co-written by Doug Moench and Bill Mantlo, Deathlok’s feature in ASTONISHING TALES forged a new path and pushed the moral relevance of Marvel Comics into a bold, and often frightening, new future. Collected for the first time ever, the complete Deathlok saga, culminating in a classic cross-time adventure with Captain America, is a must-have for each and every discerning Marvel reader!

THOR BY J. MICHAEL STRACZYNSKI VOL. 2 TPB

Written by J. MICHAEL STRACZYNSKI

Penciled by OLIVIER COIPEL & MARKO DJURDJEVIC

Cover by OLIVIER COIPEL

In the wake of Ragnarok, and after awakening from the sleep of the gods, Thor has set about restoring Asgard to its former grandeur — making it more majestic, more magnificent than ever. He has revived countless fellow Norse gods, from the brave Balder to the voluminous Volstagg to the treacherous Loki. But what of Odin, the All-Father? Where is the lion of Norse legend, the son of Bor, the one who took a godhood of rambunctious rabble-rousers and made of them a pantheon without peer? Why is he yet to be awakened? The answer is a secret known only by the God of Thunder — a secret buried deep inside a soul filled with the kind of fear and humiliation only a son can feel in the immense shadow of his father. Though, as Loki’s master plan will soon attest, Thor is not the only one with a secret to share. Collecting THOR #7-12; #600

Well, Wolverine’s heard this story too and he ain’t too thrilled by it. Then, someone or something is laying down roadtraps for passing motorists. Is it the work of a serial killer? Or is the entire town in on the crime? The only way for Logan to know for sure is to offer himself as bait. Next, see Wolverine at his fiercest as he meets the Road Dawgs, the meanest, nastiest, most jacked-up bike gang you could ever encounter. Plus, Wolverine heads to Vegas. In a place where anyone will wager on anything, it's no wonder that Logan finds himself in a game of Russian Roulette surrounded by rowdy Russian mobsters.

Penciled by MICHEL LACOMBE

Cover by MICHEL LACOMBE

The Punisher always knew he’d die on the job. But he didn’t know he’d have an expiration date.  After busting up a slave ring in downtown Philadelphia, Frank Castle has been tricked, trapped, gassed, strapped to a table and injected with a serum that will turn him into a 220-pound corpse by dawn -- six hours from now.  The people who grabbed him want him to do a simple little job and then they’ll give him the antidote -- simple, right?  Guess again.  The Punisher is nobody’s errand boy.  There’s only one thing he wants to do before he dies: Take as many bastards as he can with him. Plus: there’s nothing like fishing with friends, especially when you’re about to launch the biggest criminal deal of your careers. On the high seas, life is sweet. That is, until your engine explodes. And your boat sinks. And there’s no food or water. And the puking starts. And the backstabbing begins. And the only life preserver is in the hands of a man who wears a black shirt with a skull on it!  Collecting PUNISHER: FRANK CASTLE MAX #66-70 and PUNISHER: FORCE OF NATURE.
