All that and much more after the jump.

All-New X-Men #22.NOW

What's one way to break this tension? Have the Shi'ar show up and abduct Jean.

Way to be late to the party, summer movie team.


Avengers #25

AIM's looking to breach the multiverse themselves, and of course the first thing they pick up is a version of the Avengers:

These Avengers leave AIM Island, but are still on our Earth, taking in the differences.

Forever Evil 2.0


Avengers World #2

AIM is everywhere these days.


Batman #27

Batman accepts Gordon's help, and while they return to shore Gordon explains why he's kept the coat that Bruce Wayne pointed out during their last encounter.

 

So now there's no reason for Batman to be angry at Gordon, and his second friend after Alfred appears. Aw.

Batman & Two-Face #27

Before Harvey was D.A., he was a high priced defense attorney helping to make the streets of Gotham worse, but with the McKillen girls breathing down his back he starts to have his doubts. Enter a recently returned Bruce Wayne to the picture:

Black Widow #2

Blowing up a bad guy with a bazooka leaves a mess for Natasha's lawyer Isaiah to clean up. Where's Natasha? In Beijing fighting the Iron Scorpion:

I love the shift in the linework when it goes to the "clean up" flashback. This is your Eisner winner for artist right here, soak it all up.

Eternal Warrior #5

The year is 4001, and Gilad is now emperor of land in what was formerly Little Rock, Arkansas. But the peace is disrupted by an ancient machine, which contains something he hasn't seen for centuries:

Fortunately, a decent amount of the people he ruled made it to a bomb shelter, where they think he is leaving them to die:

It's like a much less depressing version of The Road! This is a very good place to start picking up the series, you won't be disappointed.


Hawkeye #16

Despite the music being before her time, Kate is looking to help Will find the music and help him break free from his brother's grasp:

Poor Champions.

Kate's caught and loses the fight, but we find out that it's not as one-sided as it seems:

In the end Will finally debuts his masterpiece song, with a shout out to a special hero:

Hulk enjoys 60's fusion bubblegum pop.


Justice League #27

Is that a Superman: Red Son callback with the ship? Cue the A-Team music for Vic's rebuilding montage:

Ambitious but not rubbish.


Wolverine & the X-Men #40

Could this hopefully be the end of the whole Schism? Can Wolverine stop acting so superior to Cyclops now? Let's hope so.

Wonder Woman #27

While Diana's got a trick up her sleeve to use Moon's help in finding Zola, Dionysus is revealing his true power to the wayward mother:

It's something you know they do, since it was in every other tale in the past, but these gods are all kind of messed up.

X-O Manowar #21

Aric and the visigoths are currently detained by the US in order to find out more about the suit, giving the Vine's ship to the Russians in exchange for the armor now currently controlled by Livewire and Harada over in Unity:

When Aric gets his armor back he could make it red, white and blue.


Zero #5

Zero's not entirely there, and the agency seems to realize it. Still, Zizek shows Zero a location he's not supposed to. Here's where it gets weird:

You got your aliens mixed in with my spy story. Yet it's not so far fetched, is it?
