Max Landis, acclaimed screenwriter of the hit film CHRONICLE, presents seven stories from the life of the man who will be the Man of Steel, seven pivotal moments that turned a sometimes good, sometimes angry, sometimes funny, always human, all-American alien into the world's first superhero. THIS IS NOT A SUPERMAN COMIC. This is the story of Clark Kent, a Kansas farm boy who happens to be from another planet. It's the story of a scared young kid with impossible powers, of a teenage delinquent with a lot to learn, of a reporter with a nose for the truth who's keeping the biggest secret the world has ever known. This is not the Superman you know. Not yet. Illustrated by some of the greatest artists in comics today-including Jock (BATMAN: THE BLACK MIRROR), Francis Manapul (DETECTIVE COMICS), Jae Lee (BATMAN/SUPERMAN), Joëlle Jones (LADY KILLER), Nick Dragotta (EAST OF WEST) and more with covers by Ryan Sook (ACTION COMICS)-SUPERMAN: AMERICAN ALIEN tells the very human story of the Last Son of Krypton.

The universe's greatest bounty hunter. The last Czarnian. The unstoppable alien assassin Lobo has reclaimed his identity from the impostor that stole it, but now he finds himself without a sense of purpose. Luckily a new employer comes on the scene with an attractive offer: Lobo can either kill seven of the universe's top assassins or spend the rest of his life in jail. Now, saddled with a crew of human partners he never asked for, Lobo has to locate his quarry one by one while making sure that the assassins can't kill the target they've been hired to destroy: Earth. The entire planet. If that means teaming up with Superman, so be it. But the one thing that Lobo never expected was to run into one of the assassins who may be his equal. Someone who shares a very similar background as him...and may shed new light on his own tragic past! Writer Cullen Bunn (SINESTRO) and artist Reilly Brown (Cable & Deadpool) reinvent the Main Man for the DC Universe...and Lobo is as deadly and merciless as ever! Collects LOBO #1-6.

From New York Times bestselling author Mariko Tamaki (Laura Dean Keeps Breaking Up with Me, Harley Quinn: Breaking Glass) and artist Yoshi Yoshitani (Zatanna and the House of Secrets) comes a story about Mandy, the daughter of super-famous superhero Starfire. Seventeen-year-old Mandy, daughter of Starfire, is not like her mother. Starfire is gorgeous, tall, sparkly, and a hero. Mandy is not a sparkly superhero. Mandy has no powers. She's a kid who dyes her hair black and hates everyone but her best friend, Lincoln. To Starfire, who is from another planet, Mandy seems like an alien, like some distant, angry, light-years away moon. And ever since she walked out on her SATs, which her mom doesn't know about, Mandy has been even more distant. Everyone thinks Mandy needs to go to college and become whoever you become at college, but Mandy has other plans. Or she did until she gets partnered with Claire, the person she intensely denies liking but definitely likes a lot, for a school project. When someone from Starfire's past arrives, Mandy must make a choice: give up before the battle has even begun, or step into the unknown and risk everything to save her mom. I Am Not Starfire is a story about teenagers and/as aliens, about knowing where you come from and where you are going, and about mothers.
