SUB-MARINER: THE DEPTHS TPB The Story:
It is the 1950s, the age of the Cold War and nuclear science. Parting the curtain to expose old-world myths and urban legends is showman-scientist and myth buster Dr. Randolph Stein, who embarks on a quest to find the lost explorer Marlowe and disprove the existence of the legendary underwater city of Atlantis. Traveling deep beneath the ocean’s surface on the submarine Plato, Stein is confronted by the growing threat of mutiny within his superstitious crew, and by a series of horrific and unexplainable events that test his resolve and his rational, scientific mind. Nothing can prepare Stein for what he finds — a scene of carnage that suggests the legend of Atlantis just might be true…and that its protector, the dreaded Sub-Mariner, will do anything to prevent its discovery. To survive the awful black waters of the depths, Stein is forced to question everything he stands for. Writer Peter Milligan and painter Esad Ribic bring you the psychological drama of this unknown world, where men go mad and a mysterious man-like figure haunts the depths.

Travelling deep into the dark belly of the sea, the men of the good ship, Voyager, are about to see things that defy description, that supersede their wildest imagination -- things that men aren’t meant to see.

X-STATIX PRESENTS: DEAD GIRL # 4 The Story:
There are some stories that change everything. Such stories usually involve a titanic, cosmic battle that threatens to destroy the universe and often claim the lives of popular characters at conveniently-timed dramatic junctures (say, for instance, at the end of issue 3) or return a previously deceased character from the great beyond… usually the last page of issue 4. But the one thing that is never quite explained is why these characters must die only so that they can (if they’re popular enough) return with great fanfare to the hum of exuberant fanboys everywhere.
Truth be told, only Doctor Strange holds the answer to The Great Mystery, and now, a constantly thwarted, dead super-villain called The Pitiful One wants to know it too so that he and his gang of lackey no-goodnicks can return from the dead as well, fame be damned!
As the Pitiful One closes in on Doctor Strange’s physical form, his deceased minions (Mysterio! Kraven! Miss America! Tike Alicar!) face off against a team of dead heroes including Dead Girl, Ant Man, The Phantom Rider, Mr. Sensitive, and… (begin exuberant humming, fanboys) U-Go Girl!
X-STATIX PRESENTS: DEAD GIRL # 3 The Story:
Of the many secrets that Doctor Strange holds in his extremely well-manicured head, perhaps the greatest is this: why do some characters return from the dead, while others continue to languish in obscurity? Is it just a question of circulation? Or is there a more mysterious, harder-to-quantify-with-an-Excel-spreadsheet force at work?
Well, the evil Pitiful One and four of his deceased cohorts are going to find out! They know that Doctor Strange holds the mystery to cold beer, warm sandwiches, and Sunday afternoon naps in his head, and they’ll do anything to get that one-way ticket back to the land o’ the living! Even if it means killing everyone in their path...
Good thing Doctor Strange and Dead Girl are gathering an all-star team of dead heroes to best them! Featuring Dead Ant-Man, Dead Mysterio, Dead Anarchist, Dead Mister Sensitive, and a host more!
