Bat-Man: Second Knight [HC] >DAN JURGENS AND MIKE PERKINS RETURN TO THE 1940S WITH THE DARK KNIGHT AND THE MAN OF STEEL!

>The year is 1940, and most of the Western world is embroiled in a war against a fascist regime whose march across Europe shows no sign of defeat. With global war looming and a vicious killer on the loose, it's a time of fear and paranoia for those living in Gotham! It's only been a few months since the city was rescued from undead monsters by the masked vigilante known as the Bat-Man, but a vicious killer has been on a murder spree that ' s taking the city to its breaking point. Bodies are turning up in theatrically gruesome ways... all staged with the killers calling card: a hangman's noose. While the Bat-Man endeavors to solve the spate of murders, a young reporter from the Daily Star named Lois Lane arrives in Gotham. Though she is meant to cover a movie premiere, it doesn't take long for Lane to find herself caught in the grips of a new villain in Gotham. One whose mastery of fear will plunge the city into chaos!

>The creative team of legendary writer Dan Jurgens (The Death of Superman , Booster Gold) and superstar artist Mike Perkins (The Swamp Thing) continue their pulp-noir adventure of the caped crusader in the early years of his vigilante career.

Supergirls Family Vacation [TP] >Supergirl’s got big plans for summer break!

>Pre-teen Kara Zor-El is an excellent superhero. She always saves the day (and gets her homework in on time). But all anyone ever notices is her famous cousin Clark, who gets all the credit even though Kara’s the one who captured Lex Luthor himself! Sigh. If only the people of Metropolis could see her greatness.

>Kara has an idea: summer’s coming, and she wants to visit Argo, a floating city in space where the last survivors of Krypton live. These are her people, and, since Clark grew up on Earth, she can teach him a thing or two for once. It’s the perfect plan! And it gets even better when Lois invites along Kara’s best friend Natasha.

>But when their road trip through space is interrupted by an old friend of Clark’s, the family gets diverted to a strange and beautiful planet with a dark secret that only Superman can save them from. Kara’s plans get pushed aside. Again. What’s a cranky pre-teen to do?
