The Man, The Myth, The Amulet? Legendary star of the small and silver screen, Adam West, has his career youth-enized in this hip-whimsical, trans-dimensional epic of an adventure. When a mysterious fan delivers an exotic amulet to Mr. West's doorstep he is Dorothy-fied on an oddysey that will change his career, his love life and, inadvertently, make him the man that saves the universe!

A four-issue miniseries wasn't enough for TV's original Batman! Fueled by his imagination (and a magical amulet), Adam West continues his travels through time, space, and alternate realities fighting evil-doers in his very own ongoing series. Villains be warned. A true American hero is back in business. Better buckle your seatbelts.

Batman Confidential was an American monthly comic book series from DC Comics which debuted on December 6, 2006 and concluded on March 2, 2011. Like a previous Batman series, Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight, Batman Confidential featured stories by rotating creative teams set in the early years of modern Batman’s career, post-Batman: Year One, and illustrated formative moments in the character’s past, such as first encounters with allies and foes.

During its original run, MINIMUM WAGE racked up critical acclaim and a devoted following. Why? Because each page of Rob and Sylvia's workaday saga boasted uncomfortable truths drenched in bleak humor, presaging squirmy shows like Louie and Girls. Set in a New York so real you can smell it, this definitive edition also includes a color bonus section featuring the original cover paintings and guest pinups by PETER BAGGE, DAVE COOPER, JOE DATOR, GUY DAVIS, HUNT EMERSON, GLENN FABRY, DEAN HASPIEL, GILBERT HERNANDEZ, JOE INFURNANI, DAVE JOHNSON, JOHN KERSCHBAUM, PETER KUPER, ROGER LANGRIDGE, PAT McEOWN, TED McKEEVER, MIKE MIGNOLA, KEVIN NOWLAN, DAN STEFFAN, JILL THOMPSON, JEFF WONG and BILL WRAY!

In a future war, the battle of Armageddon is about to commence. The Anti-Pope, allying with the forces of evil, stands at the threshold of victory. Then, the man once known as Daniel Llanso rises out of the death destruction to become the new Hellspawn of this era. In a blind rage of memories from his own abused childhood, he saves two refugees, Madrid and Matthew from certain death at the hands of the Desiccator, by killing him. Even though Hellspawn just saved their lives, they feel only terror toward him while he seems very familiar to them.

Savage Land, Wolverine, Apocalypse!!
Hidden in the frozen wastes of the Antarctic lies an oasis...an oasis of warmth teaming with lush jungle and echoing to the cries of unknown birds. There, strange tribes of half-men stalk the mists, hunting great beasts that once roamed the Earth millions of years ago. It is a place of mystery.
Into this lost and forgotten world comes the mutant Wolverine, the deadliest hunter of them all. He's looking for a few good answers ...and he's not going home without them.

Max Landis, acclaimed screenwriter of the hit film CHRONICLE, presents seven stories from the life of the man who will be the Man of Steel, seven pivotal moments that turned a sometimes good, sometimes angry, sometimes funny, always human, all-American alien into the world’s first superhero.
THIS IS NOT A SUPERMAN COMIC.
This is the story of Clark Kent, a Kansas farm boy who happens to be from another planet. It’s the story of a scared young kid with impossible powers, of a teenage delinquent with a lot to learn, of a reporter with a nose for the truth who’s keeping the biggest secret the world has ever known.
This is not the Superman you know. Not yet.

The British Isles were a tempting target to the Vikings, who craved lush land to farm and rich monasteries to plunder, and the fractured Saxon kingdoms were barely able to resist. But as time progressed and the centuries-old pagan belief in nature, the fates, and a raucous warrior afterlife were gradually replaced by the rigid traditions of Christianity, a dark ages culture war took shape.
An exiled Viking warrior returns to Orkney to claim a family title in "Sven The Returned."

FROM THE SHADOWS OF THE FIRST MILLENNIUM COME THE MEN AND WOMEN WHO WOULD DEFINE THE NEXT.
In A.D. 871, the Norsemen arrived on Iceland’s shores. They sought land, freedom and a new way of life. Over the course of centuries, these humble settlers built farms, clans and towns until they shaped a new nation and its path through history.
A daring man named Dag becomes the first man ever to turn his Viking boat west and sail to unknown shores in “The Sea Road.” Twenty years after being exiled, Sven of Orkney comes face to face with his own mythology as a group of mercenaries comes to hunt him down in “Sven the Immortal.” An old Icelandic fisherman discovers the body of a young girl embedded in the ice and then finds himself accused of her murder in “The Girl in the Ice.” And in the epic “The Icelandic Trilogy,” a small family with the name Hauksson builds a powerful crime family only to clash with the rising Church.
Writer Brian Wood (DMZ, Rebels, The Massive), with a lineup of acclaimed artists including Fiona Staples (NORTH 40, Saga) and BECKY CLOONAN (GOTHAM ACADEMY), brings his modern, stylish sensibility a thousand years into the past. Collecting issues #20, #29, #35-36 and #42-50, NORTHLANDERS BOOK 2: THE ICELANDIC SAGA is the second of three volumes chronicling the entire NORTHLANDERS saga!

In Elseworlds, heroes are taken from their usual settings and put into strange times and places - some that have existed, or might have existed, and others that can't, couldn't or shouldn't exist. The result: stories that make characters who are as familiar as yesterday seem as fresh as tomorrow.
Gotham City is caught in a vortex of corruption and decay, and those who feed on blood and despair are about to suck any remaining life from her dying veins. All that stands against them is the Batman, their legendary companion in the darkness, the last line of defense between the innocent and the screaming chaos of mindless appetite. To combat this primeval threat, however, the Dark Knight must give up everything he holds dear, including life itself - for death is only the first step toward the final reckoning between good and evil.
Written by Doug Moench and illustrated in full gothic glory by Kelley Jones, John Beatty and Malcolm Jones III, ELSEWORLDS: BATMAN VOL. 2 gives free rein to the darker side of the World's Greatest Detective, collecting BATMAN & DRACULA: RED RAIN, BATMAN: BLOODSTORM and BATMAN: CRIMSON MIST.

THESE ARE NOT THE WORLD'S FINEST...
Batman and Superman - separately, they're two of the greatest heroes the world has ever seen. Together, they're an incredible team...and the greatest of friends. *But Batman and Superman have never teamed up like this before.
This is a Superman who's lost most of his powers and had his identity revealed to the entire world. Someone is coordinating a series of attacks against him that have brought him to the brink of destruction, and he needs the world's greatest detective to help him put the clues together.
But this Batman isn't Bruce Wayne. Jim Gordon now protects Gotham as the robot-suited Batman, and he has no reason to trust Superman...especially when his presence in Gotham seems to have brought on a war with a race of super-powered subterranean beings!
They may not be the Batman and Superman who have done amazing things together in the past. But if they can't learn to work together now, there may no longer be a Gotham City to protect!
Spinning off of the events of BATMAN VOL. 8: SUPER HEAVY and SUPERMAN VOL. 1: TRUTH, acclaimed writer Greg Pak (ACTION COMICS) and artists Ardian Syaf (GREEN LANTERN) and Cliff Richards (LOBO) chronicle the first meeting between two very changed heroes, with guest appearances by Batgirl, Aquaman, Red Hood and more! Collects BATMAN/SUPERMAN (2013-2016) #21-27.

WHO IS SUPERMAN'S JOKER?
Someone is targeting the people closest to Superman-those who wear his sigil, those he cares most about, even innocents whose lives he's saved. The attacks seem random, but Batman recognizes the pattern. A madman who hates you so much he strikes at the people around you...this is Superman's Joker.
Worse, the method of the attacks is even more bizarre: the bullets leave no residue, no clues, then seem to disappear into nothingness. Even the World's Greatest Detective is at a loss.
But when Batman hatches a plan to draw the killer out of hiding, a crucial clue is uncovered-one that reveals that the killer is more closely tied to Superman than they could have imagined! Can Superman, Batman and Supergirl defeat this threat from Superman's past...or will Superman's Joker prove to be his final undoing?
Writer Greg Pak (ACTION COMICS) and artist Ardian Syaf (BATGIRL) add a deadly new name to Superman's rogues gallery...one that will test Superman's strength and Batman's mind equally! Collects BATMAN/SUPERMAN (2013-2016) #16-20, BATMAN/SUPERMAN ANNUAL #2 and BATMAN/SUPERMAN: FUTURES END #1!

Oliver Queen, Seattle's own superhero, has only recently cleared his name of accusations of treason against his country. Despite his innocence, the Green Arrow is plagued by the animosity created by false publicity. Despondent and discouraged, he finds himself consumed with wanderlust. He sets off to explore the world, and to once again find the worth in himself.
It isn't long before Oliver finds action-on the rural set of an action movie, in a field of stone obelisks and in the lands of the Maasai. Will Oliver survive and wear the mantle of the Green Arrow once more? How long will Dinah, alone in Seattle, hold on to hope that he will return?
The Green Arrow becomes wanderer and dreamer in GREEN ARROW: LAST ACTION HERO, as comic book legends Mike Grell, Denys B. Cowan and Rick Hoberg continue Oliver Queen's story in this collection of GREEN ARROW (1988-1998) #39-50 of the classic series.
