Game Day! It’s NCBD
Absolute Batman Annual #1 Some of the biggest names in comics take a turn in the Absolute Universe! Daniel Warren Johnson and James Harren tell tales from Absolute Batman’s early days! How did Bruce acquire his batmobile? And what was it like for Black Mask’s party animals when Batman first hit the scene?
Universal Monsters: Dracula Black & White Special #1When Dr. John Seward admits a strange new patient into his asylum, the madman tells stories of a demon who has taken residence next door. But as Dr. Seward attempts to apply logic to the impossible… his surrogate daughter Lucy begins to fall under the spell of the twisted Count Dracula!
The brothers Winchester return! Get ready to hit the road again with Dean and Sam as they prowl the highways and byways of small-town America in search of demonic wrongdoing to put right! Supernatural #1 Set between the foundational first and second seasons of the landmark television series, this brand-new title from acclaimed author Greg Pak (Star Wars: Darth Vader, Lilo & Stitch) and preternaturally gifted artist Eder Messias (Sam Wilson: Captain America) brings readers back to where the dark magic first began — and reveals a disturbing new threat that the bickering brothers will have to face before they can return to hunting down the demon who killed their mother.
In this first issue, the monster hunters must uncover the entity responsible for a series of mysterious fires in a decaying rust belt town — attacks that begin with a Windler Industries factory burning down, and then escalate to several Windler employees themselves going up in flames. But finding the malevolent force behind the otherworldly arsons may not be as straightforward as it might seem — especially once the suspiciously well-prepared CEO Steff Windler gets personally involved!
Happy Reading!
