Twenty-five years since THE SANDMAN changed the landscape of modern comics, Neil Gaiman's legendary series is back! THE SANDMAN: OVERTURE heralds New York Times best-selling writer Neil Gaiman's return to the art form that made him famous, ably abetted by artistic luminary JH Williams III (BATWOMAN, PROMETHEA), whose lush, widescreen images provide an epic scope to The Sandman's origin story. From the birth of a galaxy to the moment that Morpheus is captured, THE SANDMAN: OVERTURE will feature cameo appearances by fan-favorite characters such as The Corinthian, Merv Pumpkinhead and, of course, the Dream King's siblings: Death, Desire, Despair, Delirium, Destruction and Destiny. 'People have often asked me what happened to Morpheus to make it possible for him to be captured in THE SANDMAN #1,' Gaiman said. 'And now they get to find out. And finding out, they get to learn secrets of the Endless that I've kept to myself for 25 years. Family secrets. And I should warn you: one of the Endless dies on page five.' The first issue of this 6-issue, bimonthly miniseries features a stunning double-page interior foldout.

This volume collects THE SANDMAN: OVERTURE (2013-2015) #1-6, plus bonus material.

When a crack in the border between worlds releases an army of monsters from Mexican folklore, the residents of Devil's Fork, AZ, blame the ensuing weirdness - the shared nightmares, the otherworldly radio transmissions, the mysterious goat mutilations - on "God-dang illegals." With racial tensions supernaturally charged, it's up to new kid in town Frank Dominguez and a motley crew of high school misfits to discover what's really going on in this town torn between worlds.

An amazing collection of dark and arresting imagery, DREAM STATE: THE COLLECTED DREAMING COVES presents the haunting artwork of this critically acclaimed and award-winning epic. Through these dynamic pieces, Dave McKean reflected the mesmerizing mythology, adult nature, and imaginative storytelling that made the story of Morpheus, the King of Dreams, such a groundbreaking series. This collection also includes insightful and revealing cover commentaries by THE SANDMAN author Neil Gaiman.

This sweeping, century-spanning graphic novel explores the vivid history of Irish emigrees to New York City via three intertwined tales, from a penniless woman raising a daughter alone in the Five Points slum of 1870, to a struggling young artist drawn to the nascent counterculture of 1960, the year America elected its first Irish-Catholic president.

Jerry Sullivan is a struggling stand-up comedian, so he's already used to the idea of dying. Now he's learning more than he ever wanted to know about the afterlife, courtesy of a savage car crash and a strange figure calling himself Kid. Appearing out of thin air, pursued by demons, Kid has escaped from Hell to resume a mission of cosmic importance assigned to him by the forces of Heaven itself. But before he can complete his task, he needs Jerry's help to free the partner he left behind. That means an astral trip back into the Inferno, leaving Jerry's broken body unconscious in a hospital bed while his spirit follows Kid through the paths of the damned. But in a world built of suffering and lies, the greatest danger is also the most unexpected - the truth. Collects KID ETERNITY (1991) #1-3.

Award-winning writer Neil Gaiman tells a mysterious tale that begins when all the children of an English village mysteriously vanish. Featuring Suzy, the child Black Orchid; Animal Man's daughter, Maxine; Dorothy Spinner of the Doom Patrol; Tim Hunter, the young mage; the Dead Boy Detectives and more!

The human race is a vast herd - one that John Constantine separated himself from a long time ago. The lonely path he's taken since then hasn't been an easy one, but in the end it's probably been for the best. Given his notoriety as England's greatest street-level sorcerer, every tie that binds him to his fellow man is just another potential weapon for his infernal enemies to use against him.
Self-sufficiency, however, can all too easily shade into complacency - a lesson that John forgets when a desperate stranger corners him in a bar and pleads for his help. The simple spell he performs for his petitioner quickly ensnares the famed magician in a much larger web of ancient, elemental magic - and transfers his new acquaintance's crippling burden of universal empathy squarely onto his shoulders.
Now Constantine must wage war against not only the powerful magus responsible for this hellish curse, but also the unfiltered emotions of an entire city. Typical for John's luck, that city is Glasgow, Scotland - a world center for alcoholism, depression and barely concealed rage.
Celebrated crime novelist Denise Mina teams with acclaimed artists Leonardo Manco and Cristiano Cucina to feel each other's pain in Hellblazer Vol. 19: The Red Right Hand, collecting Mina's complete run on the series from issues #216-228 as well as the never-before-reprinted story "With a Little Help from My Friends" from issue #229 by Hellblazer emeritus author Mike Carey and guest artist John Paul Leon.

Acclaimed author Mike Carey concludes his groundbreaking run on London's working-class magus with JOHN CONSTANTINE, HELLBLAZER VOL. 18: THE GIFT.
To restore his mind and save his life, John Constantine was forced to give a day of his life to a she-demon named Rosacarnis. It was a bad bargain, and one that he knew he'd regret - but he had no idea how quickly everything would go straight to hell in its aftermath.
Over the course of that single day, England's savviest street sorcerer lived several lifetimes - and sired three infernal offspring, whose incandescent hatred of him was carefully nurtured by their mother.
Luckily for Constantine, the blood he shares with his sulfurous brood makes it impossible for them to kill him outright. Unluckily, his dwindling roster of friends and loved ones enjoy no such protection. And now that war has been declared on all that John holds dear, the lives and souls of his best friend, his ex-flame, his niece and his sister are all fair game for the non-existent mercies of Rosacarnis and her family.
Can Constantine defeat his progeny, their mother and their all-powerful grandfather? Or will the so-called gift of fatherhood finally be the death of him?
Collects issues #202-215 of the signature VERTIGO series and featuring the artistic talents of Leonardo Manco, Frazer Irving, Giuseppe Camuncoli and Lorenzo Ruggiero.

Acclaimed author Mike Carey continues his pivotal run on England's iconic antihero with JOHN CONSTANTINE, HELLBLAZER VOL. 17: OUT OF SEASON.
In his countless encounters with the forces of evil, John Constantine has had his share of double crosses, near misses and narrowly averted disasters. Yet England's savviest street sorcerer has always managed to survive, with both his mind and the world at large left (mostly) intact.
Now he's about to make the biggest mistake of his magical life - and every soul on Earth will pay the price.
Thanks to Constantine's carelessness, the Beast of the Apocalypse has slouched into London to be born, and the minds of all humanity are at its mercy. From the Swamp Thing to Lucifer himself, the Hellblazer's allies and enemies alike are powerless to stop the slaughter.
In order to save the world, Constantine must sacrifice his own mind, and all of the memories that go with it. Can he survive without the secrets of his own dark history? And if so, will the resulting life actually be a fate much worse than death?
This volume collects issues 189-201 of the signature VERTIGO series and features the all-star artistry of Marcelo Frusin, Leonardo Manco, Chris Brunner and Steve Dillon.

After spending a year and a half wandering through the darkest corners of America, John Constantine has returned home! His port of entry is Liverpool, where the decaying landscape and gentle undercurrent of despair match his frame of mind.
Of course, no sooner does he set foot upon his native land than he stumbles into a small-time necromancy-and-murder ring centered on his own sister's apartment building. More worrying than this sordid little power trip is the disappearance of his niece, Gemma, who's turning out to be a bit too much like her uncle for anybody's good. In her eagerness to learn the family trade, Gemma has gone to London and fallen in with a bad crowd, and pulling her out means that Constantine will have to join the search for a distinctly nasty magical artifact-one that shouldn't fall into anyone's hands, least of all those of the man determined to find it.
Critically acclaimed author Mike Carey kicks off his acclaimed run on England's legendary magus with JOHN CONSTANTINE, HELLBLAZER VOL. 16: THE WILD CARD, collecting issues #175-188 of the signature Vertigo series and featuring the fan-favorite artistic talents of Marcelo Frusin, Steve Dillon, Lee Bermejo, Doug Alexander Gregory and Jock.

It's been a long, hard road that John Constantine has followed across the badlands of America.
After walking out of a burning maximum-security prison, into the hollows of Appalachia and through the snows of the Great Plains, England's greatest magician is approaching the final leg of his intracontinental trek-and closing in on the real reason for the suicide of Richard "Lucky" Fermin, the trigger that set everything in motion to frame Constantine for murder.
To reach the end of this long and dangerous trail, however, he will have to pass through the bellies of two very different beasts: first, a nest of white supremacists in rural Montana, where Fermin's widow has settled; and then, finally, Los Angeles-capital of an entire empire of decadence and home to the singularly American corruption that has hounded Constantine halfway around the globe.
Legendary comics author Brian Azzarello concludes his acclaimed cross-country saga with JOHN CONSTANTINE, HELLBLAZER VOL. 15: HIGHWATER, collecting issues 162-174 of the signature Vertigo series and featuring stunning art from Marcelo Frusin, Guy Davis, Giuseppe Camuncoli and Cameron Stewart.

The atoms are buzzing. The daydreams crowd sentient streets, and the creative team has been warned, "Turn back now or suffer the mighty consequence of sheer, psycho-maniacal mayhem." Generation-arsonists unite - this is DOOM PATROL, and the God of the Super Heroes is bleeding on the floor.
A blenderized reimagining of the ultimate series of the strange, DOOM PATROL combines elements from classic runs, new directions, and things that could not be. Our entry point is Casey Brinke, a young EMT on the graveyard shift to abstract enlightenment, with a past so odd that she's not entirely sure what is real and what is not. Along with her partner, Sam Reynolds, the pair blaze a path through the city and its denizens, finding the only quiet that exists at 3am is the chaos of the brain. When the pair answer a hit-and-run call, they find themselves face to face with a familiar figure: Cliff Steele, AKA Robotman.
"It gets weirder from here," writer Gerard Way had to say about the book, with artist Nick Derington gripping tightly on the wheel of the ambulance. The pair's only communication? Shouting out of the open windows while at high velocity. Who needs a new roommate? Who names a cat "Lotion"? And when do we get to see all those muscles?

SEBASTIAN O/THE MYSTERY PLAY BY GRANT MORRISON collects--for the first time in a single hardcover volume--two VERTIGO rarities from three modern comics masters.
Legendary comics author Grant Morrison has always striven to reveal the great truths of existence that lie hidden behind the camouflage of mundane reality. This quest for the profound and the sublime has led to some of the strangest and most moving works in the annals of graphic storytelling - including the two transformative tales collected here.
In SEBASTIAN O, artist Steve Yeowell brings to life Morrison's steampunk reimagining of the golden age of dandyism, as personified by one Sebastian Alfred O'Leary, who is - depending on the observer's viewpoint - either "the golden miracle child in whom all the qualities of the gods will be reflected in harmony," or simply the best-dressed member of "a lair of bloody sodomists and drug fiends."
In THE MYSTERY PLAY, artist Jon J Muth illuminates Morrison's elegiac meditation on guilt, sacrifice, judgment and retribution, as revealed by Detective Sergeant Frank Carpenter in his twisting, hallucinatory investigation into the murder of an actor playing God in a small English town's revival of the medieval stage dramas that celebrated the Christian story.
Collects: SEBASTIAN O #1-3 and the graphic novel THE MYSTERY PLAY.

At last, it's the return of Tom Strong--too bad he's powerless! The lives of his daughter Tesla and her unborn child both hang in the balance, and there's nothing Tom can do to save them...until he remembers the one thing that just might. To find it, he and Val Var Garm must journey to the far side of the galaxy, and the mysterious world known as...TERRA OBSCURA!

Straight from the brow of one of comics' most unique creators-Grant Morrison-comes SEAGUY, a hero without purpose in a world without evil! Featuring breathtaking art from Cameron Stewart, SEAGUY collects the 3-issue Vertigo miniseries that follows the strange adventure of would-be hero Seaguy and his faithful companion Chubby Da Choona as they try and decipher the mystery of Xoo-a ubiquitous new food that seems to have evolved into a brand-new conscious life form! Quirky and heart-wrenching at the same time, SEAGUY is that rarest of creations: something utterly and completely new. "Aye, aye, Seaguy!"

Two vibrant, disruptive and groundbreaking narratives from comics auteurs Grant Morrison and Philip Bond - collected in their entirety for the first time ever!
When you're a teenager, any bad day can feel like the end of the world - especially in the stifling domesticity of English suburbia. The boredom of everyday life and the inescapability of bourgeois existence make death seem like an attractive option. But what happens when the excitement you crave actually arrives in full force? The answer may surprise you!
In KILL YOUR BOYFRIEND, two young lovers trade middle-class security for murder, drugs and hormone-driven anarchy. Is unbridled hedonism really everything it's cracked up to be? Of course it is!
In VIMANARAMA, a nervous bride and groom anticipate their first meeting, only to be interrupted by immortal avatars of light and shadow battling over the fate of the world. Will Ali and Sofia succeed in forging a bond in the ruins of a fallen world? It is written!
Morrison's narrative inventiveness meshes seamlessly with Bond's expressive artwork in KILL YOUR BOYFRIEND/VIMANARAMA: THE DELUXE EDITION, which includes an afterword from the author and an all-new sketchbook section from the artist.

A reality TV show starring a clone of Jesus Christ causes chaos across the U.S. of the near future in PUNK ROCK JESUS, a new graphic novel written and drawn by Sean Murphy, the acclaimed illustrator of JOE THE BARBARIAN and AMERICAN VAMPIRE.
J2 causes both outrage and adulation. Religious zealots either love or hate the show, angry politicians worry about its influence on the nation, and members of the scientific community fear the implications of cloning a human being at all, let alone the Son of God.
Thomas McKael is the clones's bodyguard and former IRA operative, who despite his turbulent past is hired to protect the new Jesus--a baby who captivates the world, but grows up to become an angry teenager.
When falling ratings force the network to cut Jesus's mother from the series the young star runs away, renounces his religious heritage and forms a punk rock band. And what starts off as babysitting for Thomas becomes an epic battle, as Jesus goes to war against the corporate media complex that created him.
Along with his artistic credits on JOE THE BARBARIAN and AMERICAN VAMPIRE: SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST, Murphy also wrote and illustrated the graphic novel OFF ROAD (Oni Press), and cowrote OUTER ORBIT (Dark Horse Comics). Collects Punk Rock Jesus #1-6

Welcome back to The House of Mystery,collecting ten of the most popular stories from the original House of Mystery comics series hosted by Cain, in addition to a new framing story written by Neil Gaiman.

From writer Joshua Williamson (THE FLASH, FROSTBITE) and artist Riley Rossmo (BATMAN/THE SHADOW, CONSTANTINE: THE HELLBLAZER), follows a former adventurer turned recluse who has re-emerged 20 years later. When reporter Valentine Richards is hired to get his story, she soon finds herself in an insane world of violence and supernatural adventure.

English | CBR | 133 pages | 203.68 MB

In a crazed future where unhinged technologies and interconnected parallel Earths have given rise to a spectacular class of super-criminal, the most beloved celebrities aren't actors or rock stars, but the bounty hunters who traverse an exotic multiverse in search of impossible prey! But when the spotlight-shunning, strait-laced tracer known as Tab finds herself in an ultra-violent race for her greatest prize yet, she's forced to work with her greatest enemy, the only person capable of IDing him: her own elderly, overbearing and hypercritical mother, who was once the most fabulous and celebrated bounty hunter of them all.
