NEW BOOKS OF NOTE
----------
EXQUISITE CORPSES #1
Every five years on Halloween, the wealthiest families in America play a game. Twelve of the deadliest people in the world are dropped into a small town with just one goal: last killer standing wins. For the citizens of Oak Valley, Maine-this year's unlucky arena-the goal is much simpler. They must survive the night. Experience a comics event like no other, from the minds of JAMES TYNION IV & MICHAEL WALSH, as they lead a group of the most exciting voices in the industry. Over thirteen blood-soaked chapters, these creators will collaborate and compete to determine who wins and who dies-and the games begin in this triple-sized debut!
SUPERGIRL #1
Kara Zor-El, key member of the Super-Family in Metropolis, returns to her roots in Midvale...home of Supergirl! But how could this be?! Our hero has not been back in years, and the protector of that town has been saving the day for weeks. Can Supergirl stop the impostor before they steal her fresh start and life? Celebrated writer/artist Sophie Campbell (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Wet Moon) makes her mark on the DC Universe with this thrilling debut issue!
BATTLE BEAST (INVINCIBLE UNIVERSE) #1
Cursed with an unquenchable thirst for violence, Battle Beast searches the universe for the one warrior mightier than him-and a glorious death, his only reward. But even in a universe of mighty Viltrumites like Invincible and Omni-Man, it seems that no one may be able to stop the galaxy's deadliest warrior... unless he does the unthinkable. Superstar Invincible creators Robert Kirkman and Ryan Ottley reveal the secret story of Battle Beast that's perfect for any long-time fan and new readers alike.
GODZILLA VS X-MEN #1
When a robotics firm draws a kaiju's anger, the X-Men are called in to protect a world that hates and fears them from the counterattack of... GODZILLA! But what are the reasons for Godzilla’s attacks? And are the X-Men on the right side? Follow the X-Men as they take on THE KING OF MONSTERS before humanity sends forth the Sentinels to finish the job!
GWENPOOL #1
GWENPOOL IS BACK AND MORE DANGEROUS THAN EVER! Everyone's favorite reality-twister's life is changing, becoming darker...grittier...and bringing her own brand of hyper-violent justice to a battle-strewn NYC! Who is this dark Gwenpool? And what has she got to do with the Spectacular Spider-Man? Guest-starring: Fin Fang Foom AND Jeff the Land Shark - this one will shock you to your core!
DARK REGARDS #1
The SHOCKINGLY TRUE, TERRIFYINGLY HILARIOUS, AND ONLY MODESTLY EXAGGERATED tale of how one stand-up comedian forged a secret online identity as America's first true black metal icon . . . and accidentally started an international incident that almost wiped Gary, Indiana, off the map! Featuring Witch Taint-a metal band "so extreme that you must remove all sharp objects from the immediate area" when their music is played!
SPIDER-VERSE VS VENOM-VERSE #1
The arachnid war is here! With the fates of the SPIDER-VERSE and VENOMVERSE hanging in the balance, these eight-legged warriors will stop at nothing from protecting their people – or die trying! Will Spider-Man and friends succeed in protecting the Web-Heart? Or will Venom and his symbiotic comrades prove that the Hive-Mind fights for its survival? Meet the newest Web-Head Spider-Prowler as well as the mysterious symbiote Yaleo as this savage battle risks their extinction!
HUCK BIG BAD WORLD #1
After being exposed as a super-powered person and hunting down the doctor who gave him — and his mother — their powers, it would seem like Huck could finally get back to the simple life he’d come to love, making folks in his small town feel safe and cared for by doing one good deed a day and being the real change anyone would want to see in the world. But then a mysterious man tells him he and his mother aren’t the ONLY super-people out in the world; many are hiding, just like them. By Mark Millar and Raphael Albuquerque.
