| Nothing is more
sacred to the Man Without Fear than the staff of his late mentor Stick.
So how do you think he'll react when it's stolen? Who would take this seemingly
worthless item and why? And to what ends will Matt Murdock go to retrieve
it? From the mean streets of New York City's Hell's Kitchen to the neon
spires of Tokyo, this breakneck paced story not only touches on story elements
from Frank Miller's classic Daredevil run and also brings events full circle
to Guardian Devil, the DD saga written by acclaimed filmmaker Kevin Smith! |

| Your government
does not want you to read this book!
Imagine that you are a shy,
quiet college student. Just an average guy trying to get through each day
as best he can. Then your government contacts you. They want you to be
part of an experiment in the art of human covert operations. Instead of
creating an agent from someone within their own ranks, they want to create
an agent from nobody--from scratch- you! |
| Loosely based
on events in the American intelligence community during the Reagan administration,
FIRE tells the unique and powerful story of a young man's journey through
the complex world of international intelligence. Fire was Bendis' first
major work and helped him attract and develop a new audience for crime
graphic novels that he would further challenge in later works such as Jinx,
Goldfish, Torso, and Powers.

| The Ultimization
of the Marvel Universe
Spider-Man is still new at
this crime-fighting game and is still coming to grips with his powers and
abilities. When he starts paying attention to the media's mutant hysteria
coverage, he frets that if the radioactive spider bite made him a mutant.
That sets the stage for his first meeting with a mutant, and who better
to encounter than Wolverine, Magneto's deadliest assassin? |
| Wolverine, though,
is not playing along with Magneto's plans, so Sabertooth comes calling,
hoping to change his mind or kill him. As their fight breaks out, Spider-Man
is forced to lend a hand, providing him his first team-up.
From there, Peter finds himself
covering the monster from the southwest called the Hulk, and is he in for
an eye-opener when they meet face to face! Talk about your radioactive
mutations!
Spider-Man also encounters
the armored avenger called Iron Man, and learns something about power,
responsibility and technology from an older, more experienced man.

| An outsider
even amongst his own peers, high school student Peter Parker is a young
man at the crossroads of destiny. Orphaned as a youth and raised by his
Uncle Ben and Aunt May, Peter finds himself the target of a constant barrage
of pranks perpetrated by school jock Flash Thompson and his burly bud,
nicknamed Kong. After Peter is bitten by an experimental spider from the
laboratory of Osborn Industries, industrialist Norman Osborn takes a deadly
interest in this development. Will Peter be able to avoid a violent case
of corporate downsizing? When backed into a corner, will our hero learn
that with great power there must come great responsibility? |

| Ultimate Spider-Man
is the reinterpretation of Spider-Man's origin, updated for today's audience:
Starting over from the beginning, the story of how a tortured teen comes
to be imbued with the amazing abilities of an arachnid has been completely
re-imagined to appeal to the hi-tech, media savvy modern youth.
In the process, great steps
were taken to make the unfolding saga reader-friendly to the non-comics
reader. "Our characters have been around for almost 40 years," explained
Bill Jemas, Marvel`s President of Publishing and New Media, as he revealed
the reasoning behind Ultimate Spider-Man. "It's great that our comics are
so rich that storylines run forever, but we want the Ultimate books to
be accessible to the first-time reader. Someone will be able to pick up
an issue of Ultimate Spider-Man and have enough information to understand
and appreciate it." |
