MARVEL COMICS FIRST LOOKS
FIRST LOOK: CAPTAIN AMERICA 65TH ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL
Captain America 65th Anniversary Special will arrive in stores on March 29 from Marvel Comics. The issue is written by Ed Brubaker, with art by Javier Pulido and Marcos Martin.
Here's how Marvel describes the issue:
"Celebrating 65 years of Captain America, we bring you an extra-long special that weaves together Cap's modern stories with his fighting days in World War Two! Cap's newest enemy, General Aleksander Lukin, the head of one of the most powerful corporations in the world, is attempting to buy a piece of land in Germany, and he won't take no for an answer. What does he want there? The answer to that can only be found in an untold tale from the war -- a story that finds Cap and Bucky fighting alongside Sgt. Fury and the Howling Commandos behind enemy lines, trying to stop the Red Skull from launching a monstrous attack on the Allies unlike anything ever seen before. This dynamite, down-and-dirty WW2-era special also ties directly into the current Captain America series."
Captain America 65th Anniversary Specila will be 32 pages and will cost $2.99.

FIRST LOOK: MOON KNIGHT #1
Moon Knight #1 will arrive in stores on April 5 from Marvel Comics. The issue is written by Chuck Huston, with art and cover by David Finch.
Here's how Marvel describes the issue:
"'The Bottom,' part 1 of 6. The Fist of Khonshu is back and badder than ever, courtesy of acclaimed novelist Charlie Huston and red-hot, fan-favorite artist David Finch. Marc Specter used to talk to God. His god anyway. Khonshu -- God of the Moon, God of Vengeance -- saved Spector's life, brought him to glory, made him a hero. Made him Moon Knight. But what Khonshu gives, he also takes away. And once he takes, he takes for good. Spector learned this the hard way, spiraling into madness, depression and worse. But he also remembers. Remembers what it felt like to jump off the top of a six-story tenement, cloak spread behind him. Remembers the feel of cartilage and bone exploding beneath his fists. Remembers the fun stuff. Now Specter wants back in the game. Will Khonshu hear his prayer?"
Moon Knight #1 will be 32 pages and will cost $2.99.
