Check out below for an exclusive preview of StarCraft #6 - where we find the War Pigs surrounded by Zerg and about to be incinerated by the Protoss. And things are going to get worse before they can possibly get better.

Simon Furman, Federico Dallocchio and Mike S. Miller are doing a bang-up job on the StarCraft ongoing. Are you guys checking it out?

The Authority: Lost Year Reader, featuring the full stories from issues #1 and #2 of Grant Morrison and Gene Ha’s Authority, is on stands this week in case anyone missed these when they first came out. If you didn’t, you should go ahead and pull out those back issues - The Authority: The Lost Year #3 by Giffen, Morrison, Robertson and Scott will be available next week.

Want a sneak peek? Thought so. How could I say no?

In case you didn’t get enough Resident Evil yesterday, Capcom Unity has a second exclusive preview of Resident Evil #3 - this time a backup story featuring art by upcoming Authority artist Al Barrionuevo!

Check it out here.

More news on the zombie front: Resident Evil is back! Take a look at IGN’s preview of issue #3 to check out the chops on the new artist, Jheremy Raapack.

This guy is *good*, but you don’t need me to tell you that.

We all love awesome crowd shots. Judging by your reaction to our WildCats
#19 sneak peek from Tim Seeley, so do you.

You know who else can draw the hell out of a WildStorm group shot? Al Barrionuevo. I mean, look at this - there’s what, 50 characters in there? More? And have I mentioned this guy’ll be drawing the Authority ongoing? (I have, but I like to rub it in.)

From The Authority #18.

I know I’m far from the only one looking forward to Modern Warfare 2 landing next month. (A friend of mine has already requested time off work in advance to dive into the game - for the sake of his livelihood, I won’t name names.) Both the game and the comic land in a few weeks. You want a sneak peek? IGN.com has an exclusive first look inside the first of Modern Warfare 2: Ghost #1. Check it out!

I could say nice things on here about North 40 all day - but, thanks to the great love it’s been receiving all over the web, I don’t have to do it all myself. Ready for more? USA Today has a great interview up with Aaron and Fiona over on their website. Wanna know which characters resemble their creators? This story has the scoop.

And, did I mention they’ve got an exclusive preview of issue #5? Now hurry on over there.

With Dark Age Book 3 wrapping up last month, fans won’t have to wait long for an Astro City fix. Astra Special #1, the first of a two-part series will hit on Wednesday.

Speaking of Wednesday - tune in next week for a special Astro-centric post from editor Scott Peterson.

The Great Machine worked his way out of quite a few precarious scenarios - even well before he entered politics. I’m not sure how he’ll get out of this one, though - I’m no doctor, but I don’t think there’s a machine he can just order to deliver a baby. At least not one readily available in a helicopter.

Ex Machina #45 hits stands on Wednesday.

You may find yourself meeting a high-ranking politician in the park
And you may find yourself attacked and dumped under a bridge
And you may find yourself entangled in a massive government coverup
And you may find yourself in a strange motel room, with a conspiracy-obsessed man named Red Herring

And you may ask yourself, well - How did I get here?

At least that’s what Maggie MacGuffin is wondering.

Anyways, make sure to check out Red Herring #2. (Don’t let my bad Weird Al impression discourage you.)
