Deadpool is going back to basics as Gerry Duggan and Scott Koblish launch the Marvel Legacy even with Despicable Deadpool #287 (AUG170830). Returning to his roots as a mercenary and wanted killer, there’s nothing to help cleanse his hero karma then killing his best friend, and as “Deadpool Kills Cable” begins that’s just what he’ll do. With Cable in his crosshairs, the wisecracking Wade is set on breaking bad – and there’s no turning back now. No more X-Men, no more Avengers, Deadpool’s on his own from now on.

 

Fighting American #1

Jack Kirby and Joe Simon’s classic creation is given new life as Titan Comics resurrects Fighting American in an all new series. While the series acts as a fresh start, Fighting American #1 (AUG171978) picks up right where the classic series left off, but with the 1950s heroes trapped in the modern world. Fighting American and Speed-Boy are out of their depth as the 21st century throws new villains and a whole new world at them. But as threats from their past reemerge, they must face the future head on and fight for an American they no longer recognize.
