 WOLVERINE:
WEAPON X PROSE HARDCOVER
Written by Marc Cerasini
Cover by Greg Land & Richard Isanove
Author Marc
Cerasini (O.J. Simpson: American Hero, American Tragedy),
has seen the New York Times Best-seller list. Now, he turns his
gaze to the debut of MARVEL PRESS, the new prose imprint for the
House of Ideas, by telling the story of Weapon X. This all-new adult-fiction
prose novel relates the cruel story of Logan’s transformation into
Wolverine, as seen through the eyes of his tormentors.
As Logan manages
to free himself from his captors, a brutal wave of violence affects
all those involved. From the bloody aftermath of Logan’s transformation,
all involved in the Weapon X program endure their own personal change...
via guilt, ambition, and humanity. Can anyone survive the carnage
of this bioengineering team’s twisted dream? Chances are slim, as
the lines between man, beast, and monster are blurred for all the
players in this closed experiment.

& Keepers (Adelphoite Phylaxes)" Part 1 (of 5)

that he has been under psychological attack from the rogue Navy
Intelligence unit that created the so-called "Anti-Cap"
Super Sailor, when he discovers a direct link between this shadow
group and the deadly killing machine M.O.D.O.K. But, are they running
M.O.D.O.K. or is M.O.D.O.K. running them? To find out, Cap has no
choice but to turn to the only person who actually knows — the Anti-Cap
himself! Meanwhile, The Falcon has gone on the offensive, shutting
down the Rivas drug cartel. But there is a line between heroism
and vigilantism, and Robbie Robertson fears the Falcon has crossed
it and may never find his way back.

PREVIEWS #14
Hello, "True
Believers" — I am Doom. The Marketing Department at Marvel
has *ahem* "requested" Doom the Mighty provide the grace
needed to sell extra copies of this "indispensable ordering
tool" they call "Marvel Previews".
While I at first
said, "BAH" Doom has relented because Doom wants more
press (see ULTIMATE FANTASTIC FOUR). So Doom will educate you fools
on MARVEL PREVIEWS, without the aid of exclamation points and hyperbole,
because Doom’s words bring excitement, or exquisite punishment —
your choice.
Each issue of
MARVEL PREVIEWS is a comic-book-sized, 96-page, glossy full-color
guide to all of Marvel's upcoming releases, telling you about a
bunch of comics that Doom may appear in. Marvel Previews includes
special previews of upcoming or sold out projects. And MARVEL PREVIEWS
#12 features items scheduled to go on sale in November 2004!
If your local
comic book retailer is Jerry Yablonski, he dared to leave the paradise
that is Latveria and you should dial my hotline immediately to return
him. But first ask him to reserve you a copy and order form!
