FIRST LOOK: SPELLBINDERS #1
Spellbinders #1 will arrive in stores on March 16 from Marvel Comics. The issue is written by Mike Carey, with art and cover by Mike Perkins.
Here's how Marvel describes the book:
"Getting through high school is hard enough without having to watch your back the whole time, but magic can give you a real edge over the competition. When 15-year-old Kim Vesco moves from Chicago to Salem, MA, she finds that the local student body is divided into rival factions of witches and non-witches, with both sides bidding for her allegiance. And if that weren't enough, an unknown force seems to want her...dead! Between the tribal loyalties of the schoolyard and the brutal, fight-or-die logic of the mage-war, Kim has to steer a course that will keep her alive until she can take the fight back to her enemy and reveal the true identity of someone she thought she already knew: herself."
Spellbinders #1 will be 32 pages and will cost $2.99.

FIRST LOOK: LIVEWIRES #2
Livewires #2 will arrive in stores on March 23 from Marvel Comics. The issue is written by Adam Warren, with art by Rick Mays and a cover by Warren.
Here's how Marvel describes the issue:
"Only hours ago, apparent adolescent girl 'Stem Cell' learned that she is, in fact, a 'humanform combat mecha'... Now, her robotic teammates are rapidly schooling her in the lethal arts of their collective mission: sabotaging and destroying top-secret research programs. At 30,000 feet or on the sea floor, from playing with plasma grenades to sniping with laser rifles from 2000 yards out, the programmed-for-loyalty Livewires have an exciting but essentially suicidal line of work... Will the freshly 'booted-up' Stem Cell be the next robot operative to be destroyed in the line of duty?"
Livewires #2 will be 32 pages and will cost $2.99.
