Ladies and gentlemen, Nightwing is back and more in this week's top comics

If this week in comic book news belonged to anyone, it was Marvel, as the comics publishing company introduced a slew of new titles set to launch this fall and beyond as part of Marvel NOW!

In the wake of Civil War II, plenty of new series will be popping up, starring some new and older stars from the Marvel Universe. New team books include Avengers, Occupy Avengers and Champions, a team consisting of Hulk (Amadeus Cho), Nova (Sam Alexander), Spider-Man (Miles Morales), Ms. Marvel (Kamala Khan) and Young Cyclops. Other new titles include Infamous Iron Man, which sees Doctor Doom take on the mantle of the Iron Avenger and Cage, a new take on Power Man with acclaimed animator Genndy Tartakovsky on board. There's plenty more, of course, and you can find the whole lot here.

On DC's side, we've got a release date for the Batman title from Telltale Games and some new production photos from Wonder Woman. Oh, and Suicide Squad is on track for a $125 million+ box office debut. That's fantastic.

No matter which side you're on, here are some must-reads for this week.

Nightwing Rebirth #1

News Roundups

Catch up on the day's news you need to know.

Or with:

The prince of Gotham is back in action this week as Nightwing returns to the stands. Dick Grayson has been spending the last couple of years as Agent 37, a member of a militant spy organization known as Spyral. It was a gripping series, but it's nice to have Grayson back in blue.

Anyway, this issue deals a lot with Grayson returning to the fold as a person before a superhero. Now that no one knows who he is again, he can take his time and enjoy the sights. This includes hanging out with Damian Wayne, Batman's son and current Robin, at the arcade. And that's probably the best moment in this issue. Wayne and Grayson have such a dynamic relationship that it's hard not miss them as Batman and Robin, and when the series picks up we hope to see more of this dynamic duo.

Oh, and of course the last page where Grayson dons the new Nightwing suit is phenomenal.

New Super-Man #1

This is probably the most interesting comic of the week, as none of us knew quite how DC was going to pull of imbuing the powers of Superman unto an unsuspecting kid. But, it worked out pretty well, and with Kenan Kong as China's 'New Super-Man,' we're introduced to a fairly dynamic characters who's not quite as clean cut as Clark Kent.

Kong is a bully, though he's not really evil. He takes lunch money and picks on kids because he believes their privilege has led to his own problems. So, when a group of scientists approach Kong after he defends his bullying victim from a super villain attack, he's, well, given the powers of the New 52 Superman.

Oh, and China's Bat-Man and Wonder-Woman show up. Plus, there's promises of a China Justice League, and that sounds awesome.

Civil War II #3

Marvel's big summer event trudges on as the death of another integral character shakes the foundations of the Marvel Universe. Stop reading now if you're not the biggest fan of spoilers. In this week's issue...

... The Hulk goes down. Well, Bruce Banner does, as he's killed by Clint Barton, Hawkeye,

But wait! Don't freak out. This issue mostly takes place in the aftermath of Banner's death, as Barton is offered a chance to explain himself. And, of course, Banner had come to him months earlier and asked Barton to take him down if there was ever a chance he'd Hulk out again. For the last year, Banner has been testing himself after being "cured" by Amadeus Cho. Barton claims he saw a glint of green in Banner's eye before he shot, and the jury has made its decision, we just don't know it yet.

This also further divides Captain Marvel, who believes the call was right, and Tony Stark, who sees he has lost another close friend to this needless conflict.

Civil War II: Amazing Spider-Man #2

This issue focuses mainly on the information gained from last month's issue, where we learned that Clayton Cole, formerly the super villain Clash, was going to break bad. We learned that, of course, courtesy of Ulysses, the Inhuman whose premonition-based powers are the foundation of Civil War II.

In typical Peter Parker fashion, he inadvertently causes Cole to go bad after a series of pretty tough events happen during his day. His parents patronize him, his girlfriend leaves him, and he becomes paranoid that Spider-Man is watching him, because he is. So, Parker confronts him, Cole quits Parker Industries, and next thing we know he's calling up a super villain and getting his old suit back. This should be interesting.
