BATMAN CATWOMAN #1 (OF 12)
DC COMICS
AUG208261
Written by: Tom King
Art by: Clay Mann
Cover Art by: Clay Mann 

At last, Tom King returns to the rocky, romantic saga of Batman and Catwoman with his Heroes in Crisis collaborator, superstar artist Clay Mann in this all-new DC Black Label series!

Echoing plot points from King’s epic Batman run, this sweeping tale is told across three timelines: the past, when the Bat and the Cat first fell in love; the present, where their union is threatened by one of Batman’s lost loves; and the future, where the couple have a happy life and legacy - including their daughter Helena, the Batwoman. And as the story begins, after a long marriage, Bruce Wayne passes away - which frees Selina Kyle to settle an old score. At every stage of their relationship, Bruce and Selina have an unwelcome chaperone: The Joker!

Oh, and that lost love of Bruce’s? It’s Andrea Beaumont - a.k.a. Phantasm. Just thought you’d want to know.

DARK NIGHTS DEATH METAL MULTIVERSE WHO LAUGHS #1 (ONE SHOT)
DC COMICS
JUL208368
Written by: Various
Art by: Various
Cover Art by: Chris Burnham 

The DC Multiverse is a collection of alternate-reality worlds where anything is possible. Each world tells the tale of a possible split in reality, or shows how lives vary depending on a single, solitary decision. But now that the Multiverse has been destroyed, the Batman Who Laughs has used his god like power to create a new Dark Multiverse… a collection of 52 evil worlds, each more terrifying than the last.

This one-shot offers the curious — and the brave — a glimpse into the nightmare realities that the Batman Who Laughs has created in tales by creators who know what it means to have a truly twisted sense of misfit humour.

An Arkham Asylum even more terrifying than what we know?

A world of evil Super Pets?

All that and more in these new tales of the Multiverse Who Laughs!

OTHER HISTORY OF THE DC UNIVERSE #1 (OF 5)
DC COMICS
JUL208345
Written by: John Ridley
Art by: Giuseppe Camuncoli, Andrea Cucchi
Cover Art by: Giuseppe Camuncoli, Marco Mastrazzo 

Academy Award-winning screenwriter John Ridley (12 Years a Slave, Let It Fall) examines the mythology of the DC Universe in this compelling new miniseries that reframes iconic moments of DC history and charts a previously unexplored sociopolitical thread as seen through the prism of DC Super Heroes who come from traditionally disenfranchised groups.

This unique new series presents its story as prose by Ridley married with beautifully realised illustrations by Giuseppe Camuncoli and Andrea Cucchi.

Issue #1 follows the story of Jefferson Pierce, the man who will one day become Black Lightning, as he makes his way from being a young track star to a teacher and, ultimately, to his role as a hero. Future issues focus on characters such as Karen and Mal Duncan, Tatsu Yamashiro, and Renee Montoya.

Extensively researched and masterfully executed, The Other History of the DC Universe promises to be an experience unlike any other. You may think you know the history of the DC Universe… but the truth is far more complex. The Other History of the DC Universe isn’t about saving the world — it’s about having the strength to simply be who you are.

Devin Grayson, one of the creators of Yelena Belova - the Red Room recruit who once nearly killed Natasha Romanoff - returns with a brand-new story drawn by rising star Michele Bandini!

Yelena has spent years trying to figure out who she is. Once she thought the Black Widow mantle was her destiny, but fate had other plans. Now the past is catching up with her - and with Alexi Shostakov, a.k.a. the Red Guardian!

Alexi has worn many titles, including husband to Natasha, but while the Widow played her avenging games, the Red Guardian waited in the shadows.

Now a new day is dawning - and this time, no one will stand in his way.

SLAUGHTERHOUSE FIVE OGN HC
BOOM! STUDIOS
JUN200780
(W) Kurt Vonnegut, Ryan North (CA) Scott Newman (A/CA) Albert Monteys

Eisner Award-winning writer Ryan North (Unbeatable Squirrel Girl) and Eisner Award-nominated artist Albert Monteys (Universe!) translate Kurt Vonnegut's classic into graphic novel form in the tradition of A Wrinkle in Time and Fight Club 2.

Billy Pilgrim has read Kilgore Trout and opened a successful optometry business. Billy Pilgrim has built a loving family and witnessed the firebombing of Dresden. Billy Pilgrim has traveled to the planet Tralfamadore and met Kurt Vonnegut. Billy Pilgrim has come unstuck in time.

Slaughterhouse-Five is at once a farcical look at the horror and tragedy of war where children are placed on the frontlines and die (so it goes), and a moving examination of what it means to be a fallible human.

(W) Jeremy Whitley (CA) Sweeney Boo

The chilling grip of the ancient Darkhold threatens the Marvel heroes, and it's up Doctor Strange and Ironheart to save the day... but there's more to this terrifying mystery, as our heroes follow the twisted trail the Darkhold leaves behind, discovering its lost stories, full of scares and thrills! 
 

Jermey Whitley pens the four spooky stories in this bi-weekly event, all drawn by a bone-chilling gathering of eerie artists! First: Strange and Ironheart learn of the spine-tingling time Iron Man and Captain America faced a horrifying post-modern prometheus!

“Marvel characters have an incredibly long and colorful history in horror stories, from the traditional Marvel Monsters, to Werewolf By Night, to Tomb of Dracula. Those were all titles that I loved growing up, and getting to introduce young readers to the world of spooky Marvel characters is an honor and a privilege. I can’t wait for everyone to see what we’re cooking up,” says Whitley.
