This week we celebrate the July 4th holiday with DC's All Star Superman, from Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely; investigate the occult with Image and 12 Gauge's O.C.T., from David Atchison, Rosario Dawson and Tony Shasteen; and, march into battle with Avatar's 303, from Garth Ennis and Jacen Burrows.

This week we watch as Darwyn Cooke and J. Bone resurrect DC's The Spirit, Alex Garner and Ashley Wood continue to sneak IDW's Metal Gear Solid: Sons of Liberty onto shelves, and Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips take a hit from Icon's Coward.

Will John Rogers and Rafael Albuquerque on DC's Blue Beetle leave you blue? Does Brian Michael Bendis' mighty mouth and Frank Cho's mighty ... uh ... mammaries make for Marvel's Mighty Avengers? And if we were all robots like in Image Comic's 24 Seven, would we dream of electric sheep? Find out in this edition of A Comicbook Orange.

Love or hate his latest comics, there is no denying that Frank Miller is a comic book legend. We take a look back at some of his earlier works you may have missed out on.
