The X-Men's leader is on his own! The mutant named Scott Summers heads to the Great White North, but what villains wait for him in the snowy lands of Canada? And who is their mysterious benefactor who will stop at nothing to ensure Cyclops' demise? The leader of the X-Men has gone solo, but can he survive on his own? Find out in the first issue of this all-new four-part adventure! Writer Brian K. Vaughan (Batman, Swamp Thing) lends his talents to one of Marvel's mightiest mutants. And with the art of Mark Texeira (SABRETOOTH), this one's a sureshot! "My girlfriend has never read an X-Men comic, but she did see and enjoy the movie," said Vaughan. "I want this story to appeal to her, and the millions of other new fans who liked the film or own the DVD, without alienating the die-hard readers who will undoubtedly love Grant Morrison's and Joe Casey's take on Scott. It's a globetrotting adventure that asks, 'When you take away Cyclops' friends, family, and most importantly, his team... what's left?' Hopefully, the answer will surprise readers."

Now the Ghostbusters must confront their pasts, while trying to figure out how to defeat an adversary that can't be stopped by traps or proton beams for one simple reason - he's alive!

Pop Tate is the glue holding Riverdale together, whether everyone realizes or not. His Chocklit Shoppe is the beating heart of the city, where everyone can stop in for a delicious bite and some safe haven-even the worst sorts. And not just the run-of-the-mill rapscallions who recently broke the jukebox. When a young Riverdale couple (Nick St. Clair and Sherry Thyme) attempt to dine and dash on the humble small business owner, they quickly discover the fryer grease isn't the only heart-stopping thing about the Chocklit Shoppe. From tales of mystery meat to the unnatural visitors that dine late at night, this anthology tells stories about the horrors that happen at Riverdale's beloved malt shop-and how Pop Tate is at the center of it all, the most powerful figure in Riverdale providing haven to all sorts of terrors and underhanded villainy.
