Superman: A Celebration of 75 Years
English
Superman: American Alien (2015-)
Comic - Action
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.
Lobo (2014-)
Comic - Action
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.

Green Lantern: The Silver Age
Comic - Action
Perhaps the most famous of all the Green Lanterns, Hal Jordan put on the lantern's ring for the first time in 1959. A re-envisioning of the original crime-fighting Green Lantern (Alan Scott), created by John Broome in the 1940s, this new Green Lantern was a science fiction adventurer. He battled aliens, giant monsters, wealthy sociopaths out to steal his power ring...and the efforts of his lady love, Carol Ferris, to discover his true identity. As the Green Lantern of the Silver Age of comic books, Hal Jordan captured the imagination of a space-minded society of the '50s and '60s.
GREEN LANTERN: THE SILVER AGE VOLUME 1 collects the adventures of Hal Jordan as he takes on the responsibility of the ring and the lantern for the first time in SHOWCASE #22-24 and GREEN LANTERN #1-9.

In space, no one can hear you frag. By popular demand, Lobo hits the comic shops in his very own ongoing monthly series, without a "Suggested for Mature Readers" label! Now everyone can get in on the action and fun month after month. It's the Lobo series you've been clamoring for--an action-packed frag-fest, brimming over with good-natured gratuitous violence and twisted humor. The series gets under way with Lobo out for a typically destructive night on the town. What follows is a stop at Al's Diner for a few brews with some appalling violence, and then a trip to the local bounty office where the Main Man takes an assignment to bring in Qigly, the universe's most feared, loathed and powerful...accountant. Things take an ugly turn when Lobo meets heavy opposition from the Dead Boys, a bunch of bastiches with their own reasons for holding onto Qigly.

In honor of this extraordinary talent's centennial, DC Comics is proud to re-present the groundbreaking work of the King of Comics in a brand-new series of trade paperback editions collecting his classic DC titles in all their four-color glory!
At the heart of the Fourth World is The New Gods, a series whose scale and grandeur have astonished readers for generations.

Ranging across space and time, these implacable foes are locked in a ceaseless struggle to control the fundamental forces of the universe. But this pair are more than mortal enemies—they are also father and son!
Raised in exile as a living instrument of peace between Apokolips and New Genesis, Orion swore to uphold the life-affirming values of his adopted world. But the bottomless rage and thirst for combat that course through his veins cannot be extinguished. In the end, will he defeat Darkseid and thwart his quest for the Anti-Life Equation—or will he forsake his vow and seize the ultimate power for himself?
See cosmic fury unleashed—and thrill to the imaginative power of one of the medium's greatest masters—in New Gods by Jack Kirby, collecting issues #1-11 of the legendary series together with the King's two concluding tales, "Even Gods Must Die!" and "The Hunger Dogs!"

Though she quickly makes new friends (some of whom want to get very friendly), Kori finds the Sunshine State more challenging than she expected. She'll fly through the eye of a raging hurricane and battle aliens and subterranean creatures; but, first and foremost, she'll need to find a roof to put over her head and a job to pay for it.
