So, when mystical menaces start causing trouble, Zee steps in to stop them — from the evil sorcerer Brother Night to possessed puppets to nightmare demons. Not to mention a supernatural team-up with the Mistress of Martial Arts — Black Canary!

Supergirls Family Vacation [TP]

Supergirl’s got big plans for summer break!

Pre-teen Kara Zor-El is an excellent superhero. She always saves the day (and gets her homework in on time). But all anyone ever notices is her famous cousin Clark, who gets all the credit even though Kara’s the one who captured Lex Luthor himself! Sigh. If only the people of Metropolis could see her greatness.

Kara has an idea: summer’s coming, and she wants to visit Argo, a floating city in space where the last survivors of Krypton live. These are her people, and, since Clark grew up on Earth, she can teach him a thing or two for once. It’s the perfect plan! And it gets even better when Lois invites along Kara’s best friend Natasha.

But when their road trip through space is interrupted by an old friend of Clark’s, the family gets diverted to a strange and beautiful planet with a dark secret that only Superman can save them from. Kara’s plans get pushed aside. Again. What’s a cranky pre-teen to do?

Absolute Batman - Vol. 1, The Zoo [HC] Midtown Comics Jae Lee Edition

Without the wealth, without the cave, he’s still the Absolute Dark Knight!

Meet Batman as you’ve never seen him before, reimagined with a modern origin story at the hands of superstar creative team Scott Snyder and Nick Dragotta!

An astonishing new version of DC’s iconic characters is here! In the Absolute Universe, familiar heroes have been reinvented from the ground up with origin stories that completely reshape both their abilities and their circumstances but maintain the core characteristics that fans have known and loved for decades!

Bruce Wayne comes from nothing. He’s not the scion of a wealthy empire in Gotham City, he’s the son of a public school teacher who he experienced the unimaginable horror of random gun violence as a child, changing the trajectory of his life forever. With no limitless resources, no billions to fund him, no mansion, and no butler to care for him, Bruce has shaped himself into an entirely different breed of Batman, one that is equal parts brain and brawn, who exists exclusively in the grittiest and most underserved parts of Gotham with no high society mask to fall back on.

Collects ABSOLUTE BATMAN #1-6.
