Jonathan Hickman brought his A-game and then some last week with House of X, now he's about to follow it up with POWERS OF X #1 (OF 6), featuring art from RB Silva. With House of X showing the most revolutionary month in mutant history, Powers of X is taking us on a journey through the entirety of that history.

Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo's grand finale Batman story continues with BATMAN LAST KNIGHT ON EARTH #2 (OF 3), as Batman has escaped the potential comforts of an artificial reality and returned to the ruins of Earth. As he puts his detective skills to the ultimate test, to learn who is responsible for the damnation of his home, Batman will have to content with old villains, from his Joker head in a jar to a Scarecrow who crosses the desert on a Bane with no name, and more.
One of Marvel's characters from across the pond gets a new miniseries from rising creators Tini Howard and Kei Zama, and it begins with DEATHS HEAD #1 (OF 4). When a job goes wrong, the mechamerc, Death's Head, find himself at a punk concert, partially assembled. But if that wasn't bad enough, he's on the radar of Young Avengers Hulkling and Wiccan, which means we'll be getting some anti-hero vs hero action in the old Marvel tradition.
