Rorschach (2020-) #1 Oct 13, 2020

by Tom King , Jorge Fornes , Dave Stewart

( 7 )

$4.99

It’s been 35 years since Ozymandias dropped a giant interdimensional squid on New York City, killing thousands and destroying the public’s trust in heroes once and for all. And since that time, one figure in a fedora, mask, and trenchcoat has become a divisive culture icon.
So what does it mean when Rorschach reappears as an assassin trying to kill a candidate running against President Robert Redford? Who is the man behind the mask, and why is he acting this way? It’s up to one detective to uncover the true identity of this would-be killer-and it will take him into a web of conspiracies involving alien invasions, disgraced do-gooders, mystic visions, and yes, comic books.
Writer Tom King joins forces with artist Jorge Fornés for a new miniseries that explores the mythic qualities of one of the most compelling characters from the bestselling graphic novel of all time, Watchmen.

How determined is Mr. Terrific to find the truth? The answer becomes more challenging as the whole world starts to turn against him. Adam Strange is a hero who can save the Earth from alien invasion, and who is Mr. Terrific to say otherwise? The extent of the denial only makes the man more suspicious.
Not that the warmongering Pykkts care one way or the other. If Strange is to be believed, they only have one thing on their minds: taking over the planet. Adam and his wife beat them back once before, and the key to doing it again is to dig into the past that Mr. Terrific is so hell-bent on destroying.

( 185 )

$19.24

BATMAN: THE REBIRTH DELUXE EDITION BOOK 1 collects the first two Dark Knight arcs from a new era, in hardcover for the first time! With stories by author Tom King (THE OMEGA MEN) and art by David Finch (WONDER WOMAN), Mikel Janín (GRAYSON), Riley Rossmo (CONSTANTINE: THE HELLBLAZER), Mitch Gerads (SHERIFF OF BABYLON) and more, this is a great starting-point novel for longtime fans and new DC readers alike.

Batman’s methods have always been clear. He fights criminals wherever he finds them. He lives in the shadows. And he works alone. But as Gotham evolves, so must the Bat.

A duo of super-powered youths calling themselves Gotham and Gotham Girl have joined the fight against crime in Batman’s city. They want to pull Gotham out of the shadows and into a brighter tomorrow. But with two godlike metahumans protecting the city by the light of day, does Gotham still need a Dark Knight?

Through these young heroes, the Dark Knight discovers a criminal plotting against his city. To stop this foe, Batman must align himself with a team of villains straight out of Arkham Asylum. This makeshift Suicide Squad is every bit as unstable as the real deal, and while Catwoman might have a good heart despite her troubled past, the other members most certainly do not.

Collects BATMAN: REBIRTH #1 and BATMAN #1-15.

"This story will be remembered for years to come." —Comicosity

COLD HEART.

The wedding of the century is over. Batman took the long walk down the aisle for Catwoman...and now his life has been shaken to its core.

COLD FACTS.

But this blow is just the beginning. Called to serve on the jury for the trial of Mr. Freeze, Bruce Wayne finds himself confronted with questions about his costumed alter ego's excessive force—leaving him contemplating hanging up the cape and cowl for good.

COLD BLOOD.

With Bruce sidelined, Dick Grayson—Batman's original sidekick and closest friend—puts aside his Nightwing role and assumes the mantle of the Dark Knight himself, putting him on the front lines...and in great danger.

COLD WAR.

The Russian assassin called the KGBeast is back, and now this relic of geopolitical warfare is rampaging through Gotham City with an anonymous puppet master pulling his strings. Facing broken hearts, broken bodies and an identity crisis like no other, can Bruce and Dick stop a cold war before they catch their deaths?

Critically acclaimed writer Tom King (Mister Miracle) continues his landmark run on one of comics' most iconic heroes in Batman Vol. 8: Cold Days, featuring stunning work from superstar artists Lee Weeks (Batman/Elmer Fudd Special), Matt Wagner (Trinity) and Tony S. Daniel (Batman R.I.P.).

From Hugo Award-winning writer Tom King and artist Mitch Gerads, the team behind THE SHERIFF OF BABYLON, comes an ambitious new take on one of Jack Kirby's most beloved New Gods in MISTER MIRACLE! One of the best-reviewed series of the year and already a classic in the making, this Mister Miracle is magical, dark, intimate and unlike anything you've read before.

Scott Free is the greatest escape artist who ever lived. So great, he escaped Granny Goodness' gruesome orphanage and the dangers of Apokolips to travel across galaxies and set up a new life on Earth with his wife, Big Barda. Using the stage alter ego of Mister Miracle, he has made quite a career for himself showing off his acrobatic escape techniques. He even caught the attention of the Justice League, who has counted him among its ranks.

You might say Scott Free has everything--so why isn't it enough? Mister Miracle has mastered every illusion, achieved every stunt, pulled off every trick--except one. He has never escaped death. Is it even possible? Our hero is going to have to kill himself if he wants to find out.

Collects MISTER MIRACLE #1-12.
