By writer Greg Pak & artist Matteo Buffagni | Marvel
Secret Empire may still be in play, but that's not stopping Marvel launching Generations, the maxi-series that looks to bridge the gap between the current Marvel Universe and the Legacy relaunch. Each of these one-shots will feature a team-up between a present-day hero and their classic counterpart. First up to the plate are Bruce Banner and Amadeus Chop, as the Hulks of past and present find out which one is truly the strongest there is.
There's a lot that remains unclear about Generations, including how exactly the Banner Hulk is returning and what effect this crossover will have on Marvel continuity. But with Hulk veteran Greg Pak at the helm, we know we can at least look forward to an enjoyable team-up adventure.

With this issue, IDW's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles officially becomes the longest-running TMNT comic ever. And it doesn't look like the series will be slowing down anytime soon. This issue kicks off a major new storyline called "The Trial of Krang," as the Turtles escort their incarcerated foe to Dimension X and things go predictably awry. The goal is to flesh out the worlds and inhabitants of Dimension X and shake up the series in a big way.
And if this issue isn't enough to satisfy your TMNT craving, IDW is also kicking off a new month-long mini-series this week called TMNT: Dimension X that spins out of "The Trial of Krang."

Jack Kirby would have turned 100 this month. DC is marking that occasion with a tribute called "Jack Kirby 100," a series of one-shots spotlighting the various heroes and villains Kirby created during his time at DC. Appropriately, DC is kicking things off with an oversized celebration of all things New Gods. These characters haven't been utilized nearly enough in recent years. Better yet, this issue looks to be taking a very classical approach to the franchise, in all its colorful, larger-than-life glory.

Writer Donny Cates recently signed an exclusive contract with Marvel, and he's set to take the reins of both Thanos and Doctor Strange this fall. Marvel obviously has a lot of faith in his writing abilities. And if you don't understand why that is, clearly you haven't read God Country. Now that this epic tale of an elderly Texan wielding an all-powerful mystical sword is available in trade paperback form, catching up has never been easier.
By writer Brian Wood & artist Marco Turini | Dynamite
For an entire generation of geeks, Robotech was their gateway into the world of Japanese animation. Is the franchise still relevant in an era where Toonami and Crunchyroll have made anime mainstream? That's something we'll find out as Dynamite adds Robotech to its lineup of licensed comics. They're certainly starting off on the right foot by putting Brian Wood in charge of this unified update. The goal is to offer a complete, cohesive take on the Robotech saga, one that can appeal to newcomers and hardcore fans alike. Here's hoping Wood and artist Marco Turini are up to the challenge.
By writer Antony Johnston & artist Shari Chankhamma | Image
Did Atomic Blonde leave you hungry for more tales of butt-kicking female secret agents? Ghost Station Zero may be just what the doctor ordered. Writer Antony Johnston also happens to be the co-creator of The Coldest City, the graphic novel on which Atomic Blonde is based. This new series looks to be very much in the same vein, as femme fatale "Codename Baboushka" is sent to investigate strange goings-on at a remote, abandoned Soviet base in the Swiss Alps.
By writer Kieron Gillen w/ Matt Fraction & various artists | Marvel
Kieron Gillen wrote a lot of great comics during his tenure in the Marvel Universe, but nothing can top his Journey Into Mystery run. Gillen weaved an epic, fantastical saga that made the most of Loki's status quo as a mischievous but well-meaning child. It's a hilarious, sweeping heartfelt look at an iconic villain trying to do the last thing anyone would expect of him - become a hero. It's a run that's been practically crying out for the Omnibus treatment, and now Marvel has finally answered that call. If you consider yourself a Thor fan, this is a must-own addition to your bookshelf.
