DC's answer to Wolverine gets a new book with Lobo: Highway To Hell #1. This is the one with Scott Ian as the author. We know he can rock, but can he write?
A Lobo story like nothing you've seen before! You can imagine that when you live life the way the Main Man lives life — loud, loose, and ludicrously violent — you might pick up an enemy or two along the way. An enemy like, Satan himself. Hell's iron-fisted ruler has a serious mad-on for the last Czarnian, and he's gonna hit Lobo right in his blackened, scabrous heart. So Lobo's just gonna have to hit him harder. But first, Lobo has to go to Hell...a little sooner than anticipated! Metal icon Scott Ian of Anthrax makes his comics debut, joining forces with visionary creator Sam Kieth to bring you a Lobo story with exploding moons and severed heads.

I've always liked Sam Kieths work, but the artist I'm even more in love with as of late is Scottie Young. He's taking another crack at the Oz books with Marvelous Land of OZ #1 :
The epic continues! Fresh off their landmark run on The Wonderful World of OZ, superstars Eric Shanower (Age of Bronze) and Skottie Young (X-Men) return with L. Frank Baum's Marvelous Land of OZ.
Join new characters Tip and Jack Pumpkinhead as they're whisked to Oz, and meet foes and friends!
You've NEVER seen L. Frank Baum's masterpiece like this before.
I'm not too familiar with this part of the Oz story, so I'm looking forward to getting schooled.

Finally today, we have the beginning of another Marvel Event. Assault On New Olympus Prologue #1 kicks-off the Gods-flavored crossover:
Hercules! Spider-Man! Ares! New Avengers! Wolverine! Mighty Avengers! The Agents of Atlas! If there's a bigger event this fall, we don't know what it could be! At long last, the Prince of Power takes the fight to his villainous stepmother Hera and the forces of the Olympus Group -- just as she unleashes the most terrifying threat the Marvel Universe has ever seen! But first Herc has to gather together a star-studded strike force from the ranks of the New and the Mighty Avengers! First on the list: THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN! But why is Everyone's Friendly Neighborhood fighting against Hercules? Has he joined the side of the dark gods? It's webs and wisecracks versus Olympian power in this super-sized one-shot! (There will be major property damage, we guarantee.) Plus: The iHerc team proudly welcomes our new INCREDIBLE HERCULES on-going back-up feature... THE AGENTS OF ATLAS, written by fan favorite scribe Jeff Parker! When the forces of New Olympus target Venus, will Jimmy Woo lead his team into the fray for or against Hercules' forces?
