If you're a fan of Super-Hero Comic Books, this week is for YOU!! Not only does DC Comics start their NEXT LEVEL publishing initiative with brand new series for BATWOMAN (by Greg Rucka and DaNi!), LOBO (by Skottie Young and Jorge Corona!) and DEATHSTROKE THE TERMINATOR (by Tony Fleecs and Carmine Di Giandomenico), but they also have perfect jumping-on points for most of their books, including CATWOMAN #85, NEW TITANS #33, NIGHTWING #136, SUPERMAN UNLIMITED #11, and WONDER WOMAN #31! That is a LOT of DC crime-fighting going on, AND IT ALL STARTS HERE!
Not to be overlooked is a very fun new book from Oni Press, DEAD TEENAGERS #1. A 90's set (and inspired) horror story about reliving Prom, over and over. In the vein of Scream and Buffy. Patrick is a fan!
Marvel has a single #1 out this week, THE SENTRY #1, and by our count, it is his 12th #1 since his debut in 2001. But we're sure this one is a winner... Written by Sentry creator Paul Jenkins!

NEW BOOKS OF NOTE
----------
BATWOMAN #1
EISNER AWARD-WINNER GREG RUCKA AND VISIONARY ARTIST DANI BRING ON THE NEXT LEVEL FOR BATWOMAN! Batwoman. Daughter. Sister. Soldier. Hero. But since she was 10 years old, Kate Kane has lived in the shadow of a prophecy and the machinations of a religion devoted to the end of all things. How do you fight the devil when the devil is real? And how do you win?
------------------------------
DEAD TEENAGERS #1
Since 1997, five friends have been trapped in the ultimate nightmare as a mysterious entity forces them to relive their first prom night over and over again... and re-kills them in new and increasingly insane ways each time. They dress up. They party. They make out. And no matter what they try to change, they always die... until now. Something is about to break the cycle that has kept Alicia, J.T., Ryder, Brandy, and their group of friends locked in a bizarre purgatory beyond all understanding... but what they find on the other side will be the most disturbing revelation of all.
------------------------------
DEATHSTROKE THE TERMINATOR #1
Soldier-turned-superhuman assassin for hire Slade Wilson has made hundreds of enemies in his day, and now one of them is taking his world apart piece by piece. The hit is out on Deathstroke as he evolves into his purest form... a terminator out for revenge and ready to kill anyone who stands in his way. Prepare for brutal violence with over-the-top action from the twisted mind of writer Tony Fleecs (Stray Dogs, Feral) and pulse-pounding art by Carmine Di Giandomenico (Batman The Knight). DC’s contract killing bogeyman is back and bloodier than ever!
------------------------------
LOBO #1
SKOTTIE YOUNG AND JORGE CORONA TAKE THE MAIN MAN TO THE NEXT LEVEL! The Main Man’s back, baby! And his ride is a motorcycle that moves at the speed of sound, but only if that sound is a rippin’ guitar solo, and you better hop on before he leaves you in the dust with all the bastiches he’s fragged for money or convenience! The Eisner-nominated creative team that brought you a fantastic parable of adolescence in the Midwest, the story of an artist who embraces darkness a little too closely, and the tale of a gunslinger with too much grit to stay buried brings you a classic yarn spun in the star-kissed threads of the cosmic DC Universe.
------------------------------
SENTRY #1
From creator Paul Jenkins comes a bold, high-stakes epic about The Sentry, a man with the power of a million exploding suns– and the dark entity born from his own psyche: the VOID. When the Void resurfaces, threatening to unravel reality itself, the Sentry must battle not only cosmic forces and criminal empires, but the monster within. Guest-starring REED RICHARDS, SPIDER-MAN and the KINGPIN in a tale of impossible choices and devastating consequences. Can the Sentry save everything when the cost might be everything he loves?
------------------------------
SUPER CREEPSHOW #1
EARTH'S MIGHTIEST SUPERHERO HORROR SERIES ASSEMBLES! The most star-studded superhero epic of the year begins with a pair of skin-crawling stories! First up, superhero comic icon KIERON GILLEN (Young Avengers, Darth Vader) and ROSSI GIFFORD deliver a terrifying story that will have your spider sense tingling! Then, Eisner Award-winning creators RYAN NORTH (Fantastic Four) and DEREK CHARM (The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl) make the case that super speed is the most horrific power of all!
