July 4, 2012 Weekly Highlights

Geoff Johns (W) Gary Frank & Jon Sibal (A)
Batman is not a hero.  He is just a man.  Fallible, vulnerable, and angry.
In a Gotham City where friend and foe are indistinguishable, Bruce Wayne's path toward becoming the Dark Knight is riddled with more obstacles than ever before. Focused on punishing his parents' true killers, and the corrupt police that allowed them to go free, Bruce Wayne's thirst for vengeance fuels his mad crusade and no one, not even Alfred, can stop him.
In the tradition of the #1 New York Times best-selling SUPERMAN: EARTH ONE, writer Geoff Johns and artist Gary Frank reimagine a new mythology for the Dark Knight, where the familiar is no longer the expected in this long-awaited original graphic novel from DC Comics.

Season 8 ended with a bang that cut the world off from magic --culminating in another set of world-ending problems. Buffy has left her best friend, Willow, powerless, and brought an end to a millennia-long tradition of superpowered girls. By day, Buffy is a twenty-something waitress with no real direction, and even though magic is gone, she's still a vampire Slayer by night. Bigger problem? Vampires are becoming an epidemic . . . of zompires!

Joe Hill, Jason Ciaramella (w) * Nelson Daniel (a)
It's 1969 and the war in Vietnam rages on. Captain Chase, a Medevac helicopter pilot for the US Army, is shot down over enemy territory. He and his crew are in a fight for their lives as they play a deadly game of cat and mouse with the Vietcong. We soon learn that machine guns and grenades aren't the only scary things hiding in the jungle. Find out what happens in this origin prequel to last year's Eisner Award-nominated hit, with story by Joe Hill and Jason Ciaramella, and art and colors by Nelson Daniel (Road Rage, The Cape). Explore your dark side.

Bill Willingham (W) Various (A)
AND A CHILD SHALL LEAD THEM
The fearsome Mister Dark is dead, killed in a kamikaze attack by the only entity even colder than himself: The North Wind, King of the Frozen Wastes, Ruler of the Cardinal Winds - and Bigby Wolf's deadbeat dad.
Now, with Bigby having renounced any claim to the throne, one of his cubs must take up the crown - and he and his wife Snow White must watch as the North Wind's servants subject their children to a series of trials to determine who will reign supreme.
Meanwhile, winds of change are blowing in other lands as well: the once-winged monkey Bufkin's impromptu revolution against the new ruler of the Pan Ozian Empire is gaining unexpected allies; Rose Red's reconnaisance team finds good tidings at the farm, just in time for Christmas; and in Castle Dark the former Nurse Spratt waits for the return of the Fables with bated breath - and sharpened blade.
