New year, new books, new New Comic Book Day!

Absolute Batman: Ark M Special #1 The origins of the enigmatic Ark M are explored! What terrible secrets lie within its walls, and just who is assigned to protect it from discovery?! Written by Scott Snyder and Frank Tieri, art by Josh Hixson and Roman Stevens.
Superman vs. The Amazing Spider-Man #1 Facsimile. Lex Luthor. Doctor Octopus. Two diabolical geniuses have joined forces to blackmail the world — and exact revenge upon their two most hated foes! With the Man of Steel and the amazing wall-crawler manipulated into battling one another, can the heroes break free and unite in time to turn the tide on their archenemies?

Once a Goblin: The Nightmare Before Christmas: The Shiver of Christmas Town #1. It all begins with the unveiling of Dr. Finkelstein’s newest creation, specially designed to be the scariest creature ever to celebrate All Hallow’s Eve. But something has gone awry in the process, and the final result is more cute and cuddly than fearsome and menacing. The disappointed scientist hands the newcomer over to Sally for safekeeping, who dubs it Shiver for its freezing breath.

Meanwhile, the Mayor has tasked Lock, Shock, and Barrel with teaching the residents of Christmas Town how to trick-or-treat, as the two realms have embarked on a new campaign to share their holiday traditions. With Christmas Town celebrating Halloween for the first time ever, the trio are taking their assignment seriously — perhaps a bit too seriously! In an effort to make their pranks extra lifelike and terrifying, they decide to “borrow” some ingredients from Dr. Finkelstein’s lab — and end up with much more than they bargained for in the form of the deceptively adorable Shiver!

Happy Reading!
