Fast forward ten years, and Marvel is looking back on this big event in its history with ONSLAUGHT REBORN, a new story set in the Heroes Reborn universe, with none other than Jeph Loeb and Rob Liefeld reunited on creative duties!

Volume 127 - 1st printing. "German Panzers 1914–18!" Written by Steven J Zaloga. Art by Brian Delf. Panzer warfare is synonymous with the Wehrmacht of World War II. This book examines the story of the Panzer's more mysterious ancestors, the little-known panzers of the Great War. Germany was very slow to develop armored vehicles compared to Britain and France. Efforts to catch-up proved difficult, and only a few dozen German A7V tanks were completed in time to take part in the final campaigns of 1918. As a result, the majority of German panzer units actually used captured British tanks, the Beutepanzer. This book will trace the development of German panzers of the World War One, including the A7V and its intended but unfinished stablemates. Softcover, 48 pages, PC/PB&W. Cover price $17.95.

Volume 73 - 1st printing. "Early German Aces of World War I!" Written by Greg VanWyngarden. Art by Harry Dempsey. The Fokker Eindecker (monoplane) started the true age of fighter aviation. With the development of its revolutionary synchronised machine gun system, the Eindecker caused consternation in the ranks of Allied airmen as its pilots began to reap a grim harvest of victims in 1915. The exploits of aces like Max Immelmann and Oswald Boelke became legendary on both sides of the front, and they received the adulation of the German public, along with such honours as the first awards of the Orden Pour le Mérite (the 'Blue Max') to airmen. These men created the tactics and principles of German fighter aviation as they did so. By the final months of 1916, the monoplanes had been replaced by the next generation of biplane fighters from Fokker and Halberstadt flying together in new fighter formations – the Jagdstaffeln. This book charts the successes of the 'lone hunters' of 1915 until their eventual replacement. Softcover, 96 pages, PC/PB&W. Cover price $22.95.
