This October, the Avengers and X-Men stand together, storming the beaches of Genosha. Today, Marvel is proud to present your first look inside AVENGERS & X-MEN: AXIS #2, the next blockbuster chapter hitting comic shops and digital devices on 10/15, one week after the highly anticipated first issue! Superstar creators Rick Remender and Adam Kubert unite for an epic battle pitting an army of Avengers & X-Men against the Red Skull and his hordes. Only not everything is as it seems…  

I know it’s hard to believe, but sometimes there are just too many comics. We set our pull lists, we got our weekly buys on lock and that’s seemingly that. But every once and a while, it helps to maybe hold up on that four thousandth Batman issue for a week or two and try something new! In an industry as large and varied as this, it’s always good to stretch your horizons and grab a single of something you think looks cool! Today I’m gonna highlight a few books that I personally recommend, and I’d love to hear some recommendations in the comments! With that in mind, here are my picks  

Unspeakable Axe Records has posted the full album stream of Accelerate from Italian Punk Rockin’ Speed Metallers OVERCHARGE on the label’s Bandcamp page.
