Batman: Death by Design (HC)
Written by CHIP KIDD
Art and cover by DAVE TAYLOR
In this new, original graphic novel from superstar writer/designer Chip Kidd and artist Dave Taylor, Gotham City is undergoing one of the most expansive construction booms in its history. The most prestigious architects from across the globe have buildings in various phases of completion all over town. As chairman of the Gotham Landmarks Commission, Bruce Wayne has been a key part of this boom, which signals a golden age of architectural ingenuity for the city. And then, the explosions begin.
All manner of design-related malfunctions - faulty crane calculations, sturdy materials suddenly collapsing, software glitches, walkways giving way and more - cause casualties across the city. This bizarre string of seemingly random catastrophes threatens to bring down the whole construction industry. Fingers are pointed as Batman must somehow solve the problem and find whoever is behind it all.

Written by BRIAN AZZARELLO

Cover by CLIFF CHIANG
WONDER WOMAN IS A WOMAN APART.
Raised as a daughter by the Queen of the Amazons, the warrior princess called Diana is different from the rest of her countrywomen. They've all heard the legend of how she was formed from clay to give the childless Queen the daughter she dreamed of - and they treat her like an outsider and outcast because of it, no matter how hard she fights for justice as a super hero in the outside world.
But far from the Amazons' Paradise Island, the gods of Olympus are playing their own dark games. The prodigal sun Apollo is making his move for Father Zeus' throne, and both vengeful gods and innocent humans are caught in the crossfire.
And at the beating, bloody heart of the conflict? Wonder Woman, and a secret that will shatter everything she thought she knew.
