The Planet Hulk Marvel Premier Collection is a pretty solid new printing of the popular story

Betrayed by Earth’s heroes and exiled into outer space, the man-monster Hulk has landed on the distant planet Sakaar, ruled by the tyrannical Red King. Sold into slavery, Hulk becomes the Green Scar, the planet’s mightiest gladiator — but his new masters get more than they bargained for when he forges a bond of brotherhood with his fellow fighters: crafty insectoid Miek, the horrific Brood, wise rock-man Korg, shadow warrior Hiroim and noble-born rebel Elloe and her loyal guardsman Skee. Together, these gladiators start a revolution that could change their entire world — or destroy it. It’s savage sci-fi fantasy by award-winning writer Greg Pak, guest-starring the Silver Surfer!

Take a bite out of Marvel Horror with The Best of Marvel’s Vampire Tales

In a celebration of the history of Marvel Horror comes The Best of Marvel’s Vampire Tales Volume One, the first in a series of Dark Horse collaborations with Marvel Comics to excavate the hidden corners of the Marvel Universe and re-present its most ghoulish tales in beautiful archival hardcover editions. Helmed by comics historians Chris Ryall and John Lind, alongside designer Chris Shadoian, the oversized collection will feature full-color reproductions of the covers of Vampire Tales, along with a brand-new introduction and countless stories from one of the magazines that ignited a new horror-comics boom for Marvel.

One of the black-and-white horror anthologies debuted by Marvel Comics in 1973, Vampire Tales, included stories of bloodsucking fiends as both heroes, villains, and anti-heroes, involving fan-favorites like the reluctant monster Morbius, the Living Vampire; the first solo tales featuring Blade the Vampire Slayer; and Dracula’s daughter, the ever-lethal Lilith. Vampire Tales magazine also introduced the comic-book world to Satana, the Devil’s Daughter, and her introductory stories are also in this first volume. Now, fans will experience these stories again in archival size and style completing any horror collection.

The Best of Marvel’s Vampire Tales Volume One contains nearly 300 pages of terrifying tales from the first six issues of the magazine, including stories by comic-book talent such as Alfredo Alcala, Rich Buckler, Ernie Chan, Chris Claremont, Gerry Conway, Bill Everett, Gardner Fox, Steve Gerber, Carmine Infantino, Tony Isabella, Gil Kane, Stan Lee, Don McGregor, Pablo Marcos, Esteban Maroto, Doug Moench, Tom Palmer, John Romita, Jim Steranko, Tom Sutton, Roy Thomas, Marv Wolfman, and more!

Sink your teeth into the foundational frights of Marvel Comics Horror in The Best of Marvel’s Vampire Tales Volume One when the 360-page (8.375×10.875”) hardcover arrives in bookstores and comic shops on August 18, 2026, for $65.00. Pre-order now from Amazon, Barnes and Noble, or your local bookstore or comic shop.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier comes to the Marvel Premier Collection and it’s still so good

Writer Ed Brubaker pushes the Captain America mythos headlong into the future with high adventure and full-throttle action. For more than fifty years, the Soviets employed an undercover agent — an unstoppable, untraceable killer known as the Winter Soldier — to assassinate key political figures in the West. His suspected identity? Bucky Barnes, Captain America’s one-time partner, thought to have been murdered in the closing days of World War II.

Now the Winter Soldier is back, working under the command of the ruthless General Lukin — who has obtained a functional Cosmic Cube, a weapon of limitless power that can bend reality itself. Vowing to end Lukin’s reign of terror and destruction, Captain America relentlessly tracks the Cube — only to find himself face-to-face with the Winter Soldier. Will Cap be forced to battle his resurrected partner so soon after finally learning the astonishing truth?

Pourquoi réapparaît-il maintenant dans ma vie !? Alessandro, l’ancien amour de Charis, est revenu.
Il ne s’agit rien de moins que du célèbre Comte de l’éminent clan italien des Mattani. Leur première rencontre date d’il y a deux ans, dans une station de ski. Cet homme passionné au physique avantageux a ravi le cœur de Charis dès que ses yeux ont croisé ces iris émeraudes pétillantes de vie.

Aujourd’hui, le passé est revenu la hanter de douloureux souvenirs et ses baisers volés, aussi sucrés et délicieux qu’autrefois, n’arrangent pas les choses.
