PLASTIC MAN NO MORE! HC
(W) CHRISTOPHER CANTWELL (A) ALEX LINS & JACOB EDGAR (CA) ALEX LINS
Eel O’Brian might be a superhero now—but before he was anything else, he was a crook. Until the accident that turned him into the pliable Plastic Man, Eel was bad to the bone… and just because he no longer has bones doesn’t mean that’s not still true. When an incident on a Justice League mission leads to catastrophic cellular damage, Plastic Man discovers he just might be out of time to make amends for the past he’s tried hard to outrun—or to save the soul of his son, who (unfortunately for him) might have inherited more from dear old Dad than just his superpowers… The Eisner Award-nominated creative team of Christopher Cantwell (Briar, Doctor Doom, Halt and Catch Fire) and Alex Lins (Monarch) brings you the five words you thought you’d never read: body-horror Plastic Man noir!

(W) J.M. DeMATTEIS & JIM STARLIN (A) JIM APARO, RICK LEONARDI & MIKE DeCARLO (CA) RICK LEONARDI & MIKE MIGNOLA
In 1988, the pop culture world was rocked when comics readers were given the opportunity todecide the outcome of one of the medium’s most controversial quandaries: Should the Boy Wonder die? While history has taught us one answer to that question, a second answer is now told—What if Robin lived? Jason Todd, the second teenager to wear the mask of Robin, survived a brutal beating at the hands of maniacal Joker, but his wounds run deeper than flesh. The already volatile Jason is haunted by what happened to him and is unwilling to confront his demons, so Bruce Wayne brings in a psychiatrist to talk to him. Can Jason recover from his ordeal? Is the Batman ultimately to blame? And then there is the question on everyone’s mind: who killed the Joker? Writer J.M. DeMatteis (Justice League International) and artist Rick Leonardi (Nightwing) spin the story of what would have happened if the fans had chosen differently.
Collects the entire four-issue miniseries along with Batman #426, #427, and #429 and the faux-simile issue Batman #428: Robin Lives! that lead up to this momentous elseworld.
DC’S MISFITS OF MAGIC GN
(W/A) MATTHEW DOW SMITH
Rikki and Ross need a new summer camp (okay, the monks raising them need them out of the monastery, and their last few camps won’t take them back). Fortunately, the town library has hired Zatanna Zatara to teach the magical kids of the DC Universe important things like making friendship bracelets and tie-dyeing sorcerer cloaks. Pity that some of her campers haven’t quite mastered their lessons…
Matthew Dow Smith introduces DC’s Misfits of Magic to a lifetime of magic, mystery, and making friends with ghosts.

Peace between the kingdoms of El, the Kingdom of Storms, and the Amazons has always been uneasy. But when a member of the royal family of El is assassinated to prevent a dark prophecy from coming true, the only remaining course is all-out war. But was the prophecy itself accurate, or is a far greater evil responsible for setting the three realms against each other? Swords will clash, spells will be cast, and blood will be spilled as the war of the three kingdoms begins!

GOTHAM CITY: YEAR ONE TP
(W) TOM KING (A/CA) PHIL HESTER
There once was a shining city on the water, a home for families, hope, and prosperity. It was Gotham, and it was glorious. The story of its fall from grace, the legend that would birth the Bat, has remained untold for 80 years. That’s about to change. Superstar creators Tom King and Phil Hester team up for the first time to tell the definitive origin of Gotham City: how it became the cesspool of violence and corruption it is today and how it harbored and then unleashed the sin that led to the rise of the Dark Knight. Two generations before Batman, private investigator Slam Bradley gets entangled in the kidnapping of the century as the infant Wayne heir disappears in the night… and so begins a brutal, hard-boiled, epic tale of a man living on the edge and a city about to burn.
Collecting Gotham City: Year One #1-6.

The kid called Chris is an instant superstar, his every waking moment recorded and broadcast to billions of faithful viewers. But when Chris discovers the sinister secrets of his own creation, he becomes a rebel with a cause—and a guitar.
Written and illustrated by Sean Murphy (American Vampire: Survival of the Fittest, Joe the Barbarian, Hellblazer), Punk Rock Jesus is the searingly personal, visually dazzling story of a boy destined to find greatness, three chords at a time.
