After the beauty that was ALL-STAR SUPERMAN this is amazing news, especially since Batman & Detective Comics have gone to $3.99 and so I'm dropping them.

WAR OF KINGS: SAVAGE WORLD OF SKAARWritten by CHRISTOS N. GAGE
Penciled by CLAYTON HENRY
Cover by PAUL PELLETIER
Across the brutal landscape of the distant planet of Sakaar, there is only one law: kill or be killed. Bloodthirsty and cruel, the monsters and barbarians bow only to the deadly SKAAR, SON OF HULK. The planet does not welcome strangers, especially those with their own deadly agendas. So, when Gorgon of the Inhumans and Starbolt of the Imperial Shi'ar arrive on the savage world bringing their own intergalactic WAR OF KINGS, they risk THE uncontrollable rage of the green-skinned warrior! Will Skaar be dragged into the Kree/Shi’Ar fight? Or will the deadly planet Sakaar, prove more dangerous than the battlefield?
40 PGS./Rated T+ ...$3.99
Really enjoying Skaar and anything written by Gage is good.
