NEW BOOKS OF NOTE
----------
ABSOLUTE BATMAN VOL 01 THE ZOO
A gang of masked killers terrorizes the streets of Gotham. A vigilante fights for his city--but he's not the Batman you know. In Absolute Batman, meet a young Bruce Wayne with no Wayne Manor, no Alfred by his side, and a different axe to grind as the Dark Knight. From the minds of writer Scott Snyder and artist Nick Dragotta, and featuring special guest artist Gabriel Walta, comes an origin story you won't want to miss! Collects ABSOLUTE BATMAN #1-6.
SUGAR SHACK
For one city-kid turned country girl whose life has been changing nonstop, it seems like its finally time to find her place in her new blended family while settling in for the winter! Cozy up to the final volume of the heartfelt and acclaimed Peapod Farm series! Creator LUCY KNISLEY will be at Challengers for a huge Sugar Shack event on Saturday, August 23rd!
CHEETAH AND CHESHIRE ROB THE JUSTICE LEAGUE #1 (OF 6)
SUPERSTAR CREATORS GREG RUCKA AND NICOLA SCOTT TEAM UP FOR THE HEIST OF A LIFETIME! A daring heist aboard the most secure facility in the DCU! Cheetah and Cheshire assemble a team of misfits and oddballs to pull off the impossible--robbing the Justice League Watchtower...and getting away with it. All that stands between them and pulling off the most daring heist in history are a few tiny complications, such as the most sophisticated orbital platform ever constructed, its AI-driven security system, and one other thing...the smartest and most powerful heroes in the DCU. Eisner Award winners Greg Rucka and Nicola Scott bring you a slick, stylish heist that guarantees fun, laughs, and more than a few twists and turns.
ARCHIE VS MINOR THREATS #1
When Sabrina the Teenage Witch hijacks a Riverdale field trip to Twilight City to recover a magical artifact, she accidentally lands Archie, Betty, Veronica and Reggie in the costumed criminal underworld led by Playtime and Scalpel. These innocent teens are mistaken for supervillain henchmen and enlisted in Playtime's current war on magic against Top Hat, a mysterious figure from Frankie's past. Meanwhile a starving Jughead and Josie and the Pussycats head to Bite Burger where they encounter Barfly's punk rocker fly $#*@eater—are we about to witness the birth of a supergroup?! The series tells a classic Archie story (Archie breaks bad to impress the girls) while unveiling a can't miss chapter in Playtime's greater journey that will have ramifications in the Minor Threats books for years. From Salem the Cat to Crab Louie this crossover features all the fan favorite characters from both universes.
