FIRST LOOKS
FIRST LOOK: APOCALYPSE NERD #4
Apocalypse Nerd #4 will arrive in stores on Oct. 25 from Dark Horse Comics. The issue is by Peter Bagge.
Here's how Dark Horse describes the issue:
"Our 'heroes' have stumbled across a self-sustaining community of seemingly well-organized scientists and engineers. What luck! The encampment also has food and computers, and the only news that the pair have heard since Seattle went up in a cloud of nuclear smoke. But just when our neurotic, geeky protagonist Perry starts to feel he's sittin' pretty, all hell breaks loose! This could be a permanent rift between him and his best friend, Gordo . . . what's happened now?
"Also, in 'Founding Fathers Funnies,' those wacky Bean Towners John Hancock, Paul Revere, and Sam and John Adams raise a little terrorist-style hell of their own."
Apocalypse Nerd #4 will be 22 black-and-white pages and will cost $2.99.

FIRST LOOK: CAPTAIN AMERICA #23
Captain America #23 will arrive in stores on Oct.25 from Marvel Comics. The issue is written by Ed Brubaker, with art by Mike Perkins and a cover by Steve Epting.
Here's how Marvel describes the book:
"Captain America's life has been completely turned upside down with the passing of the Super Human Registration Act. After the events of last issue, which saw Sharon Carter and Cap's relationship pushed to the breaking point because of Civil War, things continue to get worse for Steve Rogers.
"Since he learned that his long-thought-dead sidekick is among the living, Captain America has desperately been trying to catch up with Bucky, or as he is now known, the Winter Soldier. But the Winter Soldier comes across another aging war hero instead -- Nick Fury.
"Nick Fury has been underground since the events of Secret War, but will this new war be enough to get him to resurface? Plus, what is his connection to the Winter Soldier and what reprecussions will this have on the Civil War?
"Captain America's greatest enemy, the Red Skull, has slowly been ensuring Cap's downfall and now with the start of a Civil War, it is the perfect opportunity to see his plans to fruition. The Skull will form a deadly alliance that will make the entire Marvel Universe tremble beneath their heels; but what major player will it be?"
Captain America #23 will be 32 pages and will cost $2.99.
