Hulks are falling! Superheroes are killing each other for political aims brought upon by reality intruding upon naive utopian ideals! Medical comas are gateways to magical lands in peril! Truly, these could only be brand new comics we crave.

It’s a relatively small haul for this week, with the industry apparently settling into a short lull after the holidays. But what’s new is worth looking out for: Avatar have the hardcover collection of Warren Ellis’ No Hero, which takes the superhuman nihilism of The Authority and turns it up a couple of notches.

Marvel, meanwhile, have some nice collections of new and less recent material, including The Thing: Project Pegasus (Truly an outstanding example of prime mid-era Marvel Comics, as the Fantastic Four’s rocky mainstay teams up with all manner of B-level characters to save the world) and Fall Of The Hulks Prelude, bringing you up to date on who wants to bring down the house of Gamma Irradiated Misunderstood Monsters.
