DOWN FOR THE COUNT
Larry Ferrell died as he lived-changing the world.
As the legendary founder of the social network Headspace, which connects nearly everyone on the planet, Ferrell gave away his entire fortune on his deathbed-18 billion dollars, evenly divided between 140 randomly selected strangers. With the money came one simple condition: if any of the recipients dies, their shares are automatically redistributed to those still alive.
The result? Kidnappings. "Accidents." Murder. Slowly but surely, the 140 are dwindling, and no one-not the rich and famous socialite, not the strangely prescient guru, not the tough-as-nails reporter-is safe.
But death is not the end that it might seem to be. Behind this sinister experiment is a secret that Ferrell kept from everybody, including those responsible for the 140 program-and now all the masks are about to come off.
Collecting issues #7-12 of the acclaimed Vertigo series, UNFOLLOW VOL. 2: GOD IS WATCHING brings a new level of savage insight to Rob Williams and Mike Dowling's razor-sharp thriller, with special appearances from guest artists Marguerite Sauvage and Ryan Kelly.

Superstar writer Gail Simone and artists Walter Geovani and Sanya Anwar bring the first arc of one of the most terrifying tales ever published by Vertigo to a close in CLEAN ROOM VOL. 3: WAITING FOR THE STARS TO FALL.
Astrid Mueller, the famed pulp novelist turned New Age guru, knows the secret horror that lurks beneath the surface of the world. She can see the vicious Entities pecking and clawing their way into our reality, sowing hatred and cruelty and death out of sheer sadistic glee. She has dedicated her life to developing tools, technology and an army of believers to stop them.
But now the final hour is here, and Astrid is out of action. Her closest friends and followers have been compromised, her headquarters is the site of a mind-numbing bloodbath - and that's just a taste of the unspeakable evil that will soon engulf the world.
Can Astrid and her allies rally enough strength to stop this all-out assault and save what remains of humanity? Or will the power of the Clean Room be twisted into the ultimate weapon of defilement?

HELL IS REAL.
AND THE DEVIL IS COMING.
Astrid Mueller is a world-famous horror novelist, a publicly reviled huckster and the all-powerful leader of a secretive cult whose tentacles reach into every sphere of American life.
She's also humanity's last hope.
You see, her organization's apocalyptic beliefs are neither fraud nor fiction. Ever since she was a child, Astrid has been able to see the extradimensional entities preying on our unsuspecting world, and she's used every ounce of her fame and fortune to stop them.
But what if it's not enough?
When a shocking attack takes the seemingly indestructible Astrid down, it's up to reporter Chloe Pierce and Mueller's inner circle to root out the conspirators who are plotting against her and the entire human race.
Because behind closed doors-and underneath the skin-unimaginable evil is preparing its ultimate assault, and not even Astrid's inner sanctum, the Clean Room, can keep them out forever.
Acclaimed talents Gail Simone and Jon Davis-Hunt continue their captivating new horror saga with CLEAN ROOM VOL. 2: EXILE, collecting issues #7-12 of this Vertigo series.

Melba has spent seven years in a mental health facility. Tomorrow is her eighteenth birthday. Tomorrow, she'll be transferred to a federal prison. Tomorrow, her real sentence will begin.
That is, until she receives a visit from FBI Agent Virgil Crockett. Crockett explains that there is another world beyond ours, where hungry spectral aliens stalk the minds of the impressionable and weak. These things, called IMPs (Interdimensional Mental Parasites) feed on compliance. They convince hosts to do things for them, and the more they feed, the stronger they become. More IMPs stream into the world each day, invisible to everyone but his or her hosts.
After years of drugs and counseling, Polly and Melba have developed a unique relationship - and to Crockett, this relationship represents something her people can work with. In exchange for release from prison, Crockett asks Melba (and Polly) to serve as IMP hunters. For Melba, it's a chance to prove that she's innocent, convinced to murder by a monster...a monster she must now unleash.

But before he can start booking retirement cruises, there's still one small matter that requires his attention: an all-powerful entity has usurped his deceased Father's place in Heaven and is preparing to extinguish every last vestige of free will throughout the universe.
The Lightbringer has always been the contrary type, and he's not about to change his ways for anyone - or anything - just because they occupy the Throne of Light. And while the former Lord of Hell now rules only within the boundaries of his nightclub, Ex Lux, he still has powerful allies and devoted enemies - all of whom are ripe for manipulation.
Together, this motley militia is poised to take their fight from the heights of the Silver City to the depths of the Inferno.

To clear his name and reclaim his throne, Lucifer must solve the Deicide himself. But even with help from the disgraced archangel Gabriel, the task is daunting.

This sequel to the hit miniseries by the original team of writer John Ridley (Oscar-winning screenwriter of 12 Years a Slave and creator of TV's American Crime) and artist Georges Jeanty (Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Season Eight, Serenity: No Power in the 'Verse) moves the story forward in history, factoring in how real-life events might be affected by the presence of superheroes, and how those events change the heroes in turn. It's been a decade since the Civil Defense Corps was exposed as a fraud created by the U.S. Government for propaganda purposes. While most of the heroes who survived the catastrophe have retired or disappeared, the New American still carries on, trying to keep communities safe amid the social turmoil of the 1970s. But with the nation split in two over civil rights and the changing political landscape, this isn't easy. Some of the American's former colleagues are on opposite sides of the law: Amber Waves joined a group of domestic terrorists, while Missy, a.k.a. Ole Miss, has thrown her hat into the political ring. As the ground shifts beneath his feet and new threats arise, which side will the American choose?

With open and engaging art by Sylvain Savoia, MARZI is a moving and resonant story of an ordinary girl in turbulent, changing times.

But for all of Dash's good fortune, his mother is still dead, and her murderer is still at large. He's still strung out on heroin, and so is his unborn child's mother - Red Crow's daughter.
