Happy New Comic Books Day Ninja Nation! Here are the comic books we couldn’t wait to get our little ninja hands on today.

: Uncanny X-Force #1

From Rick Remender and Marvel Comics, Wolverine promised Cyclops that X-Force would disband — he lied. A secret society has resurrected En Sabah Nur, putting into motion events that will turn this age of heroes into an Age of Apocalypse! To hold them back, Wolverine and Archangel bring together Fantomex, Deadpool, and Psylocke to form The Uncanny X-Force! Stained by their history, they are the only ones capable of making the hard resolutions necessary. A band of likeminded friends and mercenaries set to one purpose, one big ugly task — kill Apocalypse by any means. Story arch “Ages Part 1.”

: Batman: Hidden Treasures

From DC Comics, at long last, the legendary “lost” Bernie Wrightson story starring The Dark Knight comes to life! Written by Ron Marz (GREEN LANTERN) and inked by Kevin Nowlan (SUPERMAN VS. ALIENS, Doctor Strange), this astonishing Batman/Solomon Grundy story features full-page illustrations on every page!Also included in this can’t-miss issue is the newly colored, classic Bernie Wrightson/Len Wein Batman story “Night of the Bat,” which originally appeared in SWAMP THING #7! Both stories feature colors by acclaimed artist Alex Sinclair (BATMAN: HUSH, 52) and both present particularly startling looks at The Caped Crusader as only Wrightson could present!

: iZombie #6

From DC/Vertigo, pot, the were-terrier, is hands-down the sensational character of the year! A mild-mannered computer technician by day, under a full moon he transforms into a monster with the lusts and appetites of a well-behaved house pet! But who is he really, and what is his connection to Mister Chimps? Here, at long last, the amazing secret origin of Spot is revealed, in a story we just had to call “I, Were-Terrier”!

: Secret Six #26

Ninja Clan favorite, Gail Simone and DC bring us Scandal’s Secret Six vs. Bane’s Secret Six in the savage secret world of Skartaris! Who is manipulating the two teams, and who has vowed to track them both down?

: House of Mystery #30

From DC/Vertigo, there’s so much happening in this issue that it’s nearly impossible to summarize. There’s the thing with the witches, the bit with the monster, and then there’s killer ribbon. See? Too much. With stunning art by French fashion illustrator Carine Brancowitz (Vogue, Elle)!
