COMICS
BATMAN AND ROBIN #1

Father and son. Bruce and Damian. Batman and Robin. From Batman vs. Robin to Knight Terrors, a lot has happened to the Dynamic Duo, but now they are back together and ready to fight crime in Gotham – just in time for Batman’s most monstrous rogues to team up to turn the city into an urban jungle!

Can Damian help his father solve the case before it’s too late?
BATMAN GARGOYLE OF GOTHAM #1 (OF 4)
(W/A/CA) Rafael Grampa (VCA) Frank Miller & Jock
When you chase your own shadow… it leads you into the abyss. In a Gotham City where every day feels darker and more irredeemable than the last, Batman makes a definitive choice–to kill off the Bruce Wayne identity for good and embrace the cowl full-time. But though he knows the streets of Gotham, Batman will soon come to find that he hardly knows himself. A serial killer is on the loose, and while the murder victims seem random at first, every clue draws Batman closer to the terrifying truth – that they are all connected, not just to each other… but to him…
When an all-new rogues gallery of utterly depraved villains begins to emerge from the depths of the city, Batman will have to contend with the very nature of evil – including that which lurks inside in the darkest corners of his own heart – to face what’s coming for his city.
Batman: Gargoyle of Gotham brings Rafael Grampa’s twisted vision of both the Dark Knight and the city of Gotham to life in a DC writing debut that will reach its icy black tendrils into the deepest and darkest corners of human nature and leave you gasping for breath – and for more!

KILL MORE #1
(W) Scott Bryan Wilson (A/CA) Max Alan Fuchs
The city of Colonia is suffering from total economic collapse, but worse than the unemployment and urban decay is the skyrocketing homicide rate.

As he and his new partner dig deeper into their rapidly growing list of open cases, they’ll find themselves in the crosshairs of a growing group of maniacs who realize that the best way to stay ahead of the cops in a city full of killers… is to kill more. Nothing can prepare you for Lady Facesmasher, The Sufferer, The Obituary Machine – and worse. Lock your doors and journey into the mouth of madness!

STAR TREK PICARDS ACADEMY #1
(W) Sam Maggs (A) Greco Ornella (CA) Sweeney Boo (VCA) Matt Taylor
From New York Times-bestselling author Sam Maggs (Star Wars Jedi: Battle Scars) comes a new ongoing series unveiling the past of one of Starfleet’s most celebrated officers: Captain Jean-Luc Picard!
Before becoming the Federation’s finest, Jean-Luc was an ordinary student at Starfleet Academy with sights on the stars. His path forward was charted: blow his classmates out of the water on the infamous Evasive Maneuvers exam and graduate early. But there’s a detail Cadet Picard hadn’t factored into his plan: the exam was a group project and he’d need to make friends with, ugh, people if he stood a chance at passing. Federation starships aren’t run by a party of one, after all!
