NEW BOOKS OF NOTE
----------
QUEEN IN BLACK #1
On the farthest edges of the solar system, KNULL, GOD OF THE VOID, builds a brand-new army to destroy Earth... but HELA OF ASGARD might have gotten there first — as she makes planetfall with a legion of the galaxy's deadliest symbiotes! Two of the most powerful evils in the galaxy are at war... and the SON OF VENOM is caught right in the middle! It's a cosmic collision of evil versus evil with the good caught in the middle!
--------------------
JUSTICE LEAGUE KNIGHT VISION #1
The Justice League has offered villains amnesty! But what about the void that leaves in the world of super-villains? Batman and Lex Luthor must work together to investigate a villain who wants to capitalize on the shifting priorities of the DC Universe's champions by creating a dangerous new weapon! Can Batman and Lex set aside their differences to stop them?
--------------------
PATRON #1
A true patron of the fine arts, Mr. Cherish has dedicated his life to scouting and supporting emerging artists, launching countless unknowns from obscurity into superstardom. Unfortunately for these young artists, the secret to Cherish’s success is their untimely demise. Nothing makes a work of art more desirable and valuable to collectors than the passing of its creator, and Cherish has refined his ability to orchestrate spectacular tragedies without leaving a trace... By Christian Ward and John J. Pearson.
--------------------
NANO #1
Sana is a bad-ass operative of the underground organization The Order. She and her longtime comrade, Lukas, have been assigned to Nano, a mega-city run on prison labor and roiling from blackouts. While Lukas is tasked with infiltrating Nanocorp's secretive research facility, Sana's mission is something she's never trained for: playing the doting wife of Lukas's cover. But when Lukas's mission is clearly going sideways, Sana can no longer sit on the bench.
--------------------
HORROR OF GODZILLA #1
A terrifying look at Godzilla’s first attack! Tokyo, 1954. As the country begins to look toward its postwar future, two scientists start an experiment in the Pacific Ocean. It is meant to change everything…and it will. Come now, reader, and bear witness to the incredible horror of the King of the Monsters. There are no heroes. There are no survivors. There is only the wrath of Godzilla.
--------------------
DCS HAWK-GIRL SUMMER #1
Summer has arrived — and so has your perfect juicy beach read. Hot off the presses, this collection of scorching new stories showcases the babes and bombshells of the DCU slaying the summer! Join Hawkgirl, Catwoman, Red Hood, Grace Choi, Thunder, Shining Knight, Kid Quick, and more as the Female Furies dominate the beach, the boardwalk, and any bad guys in their way.
--------------------
DIRT BENEATH THE DEVIL #1
In the dying days of the American frontier, a young woman journeys into the unknown to claim a legacy she never asked for—and may not survive. June Buckley’s father was a monster in life. In death, he may be something worse. Summoned alongside a group of treacherous heirs, June is forced to traverse the same brutal path that built her father's empire. But the trail reveals more than hardship—it exposes the rot in every soul traveling beside her.
--------------------
BLACK STAR #1
Amidst skirmishes between two warring factions in the early nineteenth-century fur trade, Dashiell Carlyle discovers he has magical abilities... and that he’s not alone. Thrust into a secret order with designs to use their magic to build a new and better world, Dashiell discovers that their utopia may come at a horrific cost. The Revenant meets Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
