This first volume of the collection contains books 1 and 2 of the series: The City of Shifting Waters – in its original two-part, 9 pages longer format – and The Empire of a Thousand Planets.

The gore-drenched showdown of a lifetime erupts in the depths of space as the undead, mass-murderer Jason Voorhees is reborn to face the cybernetically-enhanced and unstoppable future version of himself! As Jason X stalks the halls of an interstellar pleasure cruiser, a deep-space salvage team makes their way into the remnants of the space catamaran Grendel, where the über-Jason was created. Hoping to gut the ship of its most valuable assets, the team instead unwittingly revives a curse that transcends time itself, reawakening the one, original Jason Voorhees. Jason's divided reign of terror will be short-lived, however, as both halves of Earth's most dreaded serial killer are drawn to one another for a confrontation that can have only one victor... and one survivor! Fan-favorite creator Mike Wolfer brings this epic bloodbath to life in this vicious two-issue series, both offered this month!

Jim Henson's The Storyteller: Giants is a collection of mythic tales of when giants roamed the Earth, inspired by folklore from around the world and told in the spirit of Jim Henson's beloved television series. In this first issue, rising newcomer Conor Nolan reimagines the "The Peach's Son," a Japanese tale of a giant who was raised by humans but never accepted by them. When a nearby village is overrun with evil beings, the giant will take a chance to be a hero and prove himself to be part of the community he calls home. Upcoming issues will include stories by Brandon Dayton, Jared Cullum, and Feifei Ruan.

Having escaped from Black Tom [see Generation X #25], Franklin Richards, Leech, Artie Maddicks, Tana Nile, Howard the Duck and the Man-Thing now float on a chunk of earth through the Nexus of All Realities.  Tiring of Howard's complaining, Tana Nile tosses him off their 'island' and the Duck falls through one of the doorways populating the Nexus. Howard lands in Nevernevernarniozbia, a land that appears to be an amalgam of many storybook worlds peopled by fairy tale versions of super-heroes and villains.  The rest of the group follow through the same doorway, but are themselves followed by a living shadow called the Dark Hunter. The group is soon captured by a wicked version of the Scarlet Witch, then are reunited with Howard who has also been captured.  Leech negates the powers of his captors, and he and his friends almost escape, but are stopped short by the Dark Hunter.  To the shock of Howard and the rest, the Man-Thing speaks.
