BATMAN WHITE KNIGHT PRESENTS RED HOOD #1 (OF 2)
(W) Sean Murphy, Clay McCormack (A) Simone Di Meo (CA) Sean Murphy
Bruce Wayne is Batman. Four words that saved Jason’s life and destroyed his future forever.
Banished by his mentor and damaged by The Joker, the former Robin is left to become something different, something stronger, a relentless force for justice in the city… Red Hood!
With nobody to answer to, he walks the dangerous line between hero and villain. That is until he meets Gan, a local girl from East Backport who needs his help to save her neighborhood from a super-criminal terrorizing its citizens.
And she’s willing to fight alongside him, whatever it takes!
NEW CHAMPION OF SHAZAM #1 (OF 4)
(W) Josie Campbell (A/CA) Evan Doc Shaner (VCA) Joshua Middleton
Mary Bromfield has always struggled to determine who she is outside her family… kinda hard to do when you’re all superheroes! Now, after Billy Batson’s heroic sacrifice, the power of Shazam has vanished, and she’s been left powerless. Most heroes would be distraught, but not Mary. It’s finally time for a voyage of self-discovery as she prepares for her freshman year of college and a civilian life. But nothing is ever truly normal for this young hero, because she’s just been chosen as the new champion of Shazam! (At least according to a talking rabbit sent by her estranged brother Billy.) Will she embrace the power? Or will it die along with this world’s hope of survival against the mysterious magical forces waiting to take control?
Find out in Mary’s first solo miniseries, brought to you by up-and-coming comics writer Josie Campbell (Future State: Green Lantern) and fan-favourite Shazam artist Evan Doc Shaner (Strange Adventures, Convergence: Shazam!)!
PARKER GIRLS #1
(W) Terry Moore (A/CA) Terry Moore
When Annie Graham’s lifeless body washes up Venice beach, the nation mourns the loss of a popular actress.
Police suspect her death was no accident but Graham’s husband-billionaire Zachary Lot has the best lawyers money can buy and the investigation stalls.
That’s when Tambi Baker decides to take matters into her own hands and enlist three of her finest Parker Girl operatives to bring the Lot Empire down, one shocking scandal at a time.
GOLDEN RAGE #1 (OF 5)
(W) Chrissy Williams (A/CA) Lauren Knight
In a world where older women who’ve been deemed useless to society are abandoned on an island, GOLDEN RAGE documents their golden years of making friends, baking dessert, and fighting to the death.
Created by writer Chrissy Williams (editor of Die, The Wicked + The Divine), artist Lauren Knight (Buffy the Vampire Slayer), and colorist Sofie Dodgson (Bitter Root, Tank Girl), this is the FIRST ISSUE of a brand-new five-issue miniseries where Battle Royale meets The Golden Girls.

BOOKS
RUSH COMPLETE SERIES TP
(W) Si Spurrier (A/CA) Nathan Gooden
This Hungry Earth Reddens Under Snowclad Hills.
1899, Yukon Territory. A frozen frontier, bloodied and bruised by the last great Gold Rush. But in the lawless wastes to the North, something whispers in the hindbrains of men, drawing them to a blighted valley, where giant spidertracks mark the snow and impossible guns roar in the night.
To Brokehoof, where gold and blood are mined alike. Now, stumbling towards its haunted forests comes a woman gripped not by greed, but the snarling rage of a mother in search of her child…
BATMAN EARTH ONE COMPLETE COLLECTION TP
(W) Geoff Johns (A/CA) Gary Frank
In a Gotham City where friend and foe are indistinguishable, Bruce Wayne’s path toward becoming the Dark Knight is riddled with more obstacles than ever before. Focused on punishing his parents’ true killers and the corrupt police who allowed them to go free, Bruce Wayne’s thirst for vengeance fuels his mad crusade, and no one, not even Alfred, can stop him.
Geoff Johns and Gary Frank reimagine a new mythology for the Dark Knight, where the familiar is no longer the expected.
