Here's how DC describes the book:
"One man's journey of self-discovery -- and all the people he must kill along the way! In a world marred by brutal warfare, unjustified nation-building and corporate greed, soldiers like Michael Cray -- code name: Deathblow -- run the risk of becoming lethal puppets. The real question is, who's pulling the strings?
Following a deadly mission, Cray is assumed dead by his superiors -- until it's discovered he's being held in a Middle Eastern prison. A daring commando raid rescues Cray, and the government will use any means to determine where his loyalties lie. This puts Deathblow on a dangerous road, unsure of who his real enemies are and of who he can trust -- including himself!"
Deathblow #1 will be 32 pages and will cost $2.99.

Here's how Marvel describes the book:
"For months, readers have seen Iron Man as the leader of the Pro-Registration forces in the pages of Civil War, but in Iron Man #13, Tony Stark's feelings and reasoning for his stance in the war are finally revealed.
"Tony Stark has taken up arms against his friends and allies in the name of Super-Human Registration. But making that decision was not easy for him, and itıs a decision that has kept him up each night since the Act passed.
"Find out what prompted a prominent leader of the super-hero community to turn on his own. Get inside Tony Stark's head, to understand why he supports the registration act so strongly, and why he is willing to use any means necessary to enforce it. And, see how conflicted the stoic hero truly is when he's behind closed doors.
"By the end of Iron Man #13 and the conclusion of the Civil War arc in Iron Man #14, be prepared to see Tony Stark in a whole new light."
Iron Man #13 will be 32 pages and will cost $2.99.
