CONAN #1 -- NEW PRINTING
by Kurt Busiek & Cary Nord
From Dark Horse Comics. The first issue of the exciting Conan series is being reprinted with a new cover by Nord.

ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN #54 ARACHNOMAN VARIANT
by Brian Michael Bendis & Mark Bagley
From Marvel Comics. As fever creeps across a worldwide audience in anticipation of the Spider-Man 2 movie this June, fans caught a glimpse of their favorite wall-crawler's reaction to the making of a film based on Spider-Man's life in the Ultimate Universe this spring! Featuring guest-stars like Avi Arad and Tobey Maguire in the comic book, "Spider-Man: Hollywood" was a first-class affair, and is now collected as Ultimate Spider-Man Volume 10. Little-known to fans was a second, more insidious film, Arachnoman, which was planned but never completed! Arachnoman, the unlicensed, unofficial Spider-Man movie was a much different affair, and was never released to the public. Now, for the only time, get a copy of this unseen take on Arachnoman! Rescripted over the same great Mark Bagley artwork, Arachnoman was printed as a limited-edition and will be available in limited quantities! Get your Bendis! Get your Bagley!
