Eisner Award-winning author Brian Azzarello brings readers the story of Sgt. Rock. One that asks, is there room for humanity in war? This thought-provoking story presents a tale that calls into question the double standards of humanity and morality during wartime. In the midst of a covert World War II mission, Sgt. Rock discovers that four of his prisoners were brutally murdered during the night. With the fifth and only surviving prisoner on the run, the sergeant must determine if the cold-blooded murderer is a member of Easy Company or the German escapee. A moralistic murder mystery set against the backdrop of war, this book examines the fine line between being a soldier and a sadistic killer.

Five years from now, the future that Batman Beyond came back in time to stop is already in motion. Brother Eye has taken over Cadmus, and has taken the refugee heroes of Earth-2 as its mind-controlled slaves. Superman has walked away from humanity, and another hero wears the mantle in his place. And in deep space, Stormwatch are dead, victims of the true threat from beyond our universe...the being we know as Brainiac. But while heroes still live, there’s still hope. On Arrow Island, Green Arrow has faked his own death and used the cover to begin recruiting an Army to take the fight to Brother Eye. And even those who swore they’d never be heroes again—like Red Robin and Firestorm—find themselves drawn back into the battle. The fight for the future of the DC Universe is on! All-star writing team Brian Azzarello (WONDER WOMAN), Jeff Lemire (JUSTICE LEAGUE UNITED), Dan Jurgens (THE DEATH OF SUPERMAN) and Keith Giffen (JUSTICE LEAGUE 3000) are joined by fan-favorite artists including Georges Jeanty (Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Season 8), Aaron Lopresti (JUSTICE LEAGUE INTERNATIONAL), Cully Hamner (THE SHADE), Patrick Zircher (SUICIDE SQUAD) and Jesús Merino (SUPERMAN) to present THE NEW 52: FUTURES END VOLUME 2 — collects issues #18-30. The battle rages on!

John Constantine knows the secrets of his native England like the back of his nicotine-stained hand. Unfortunately for him, he’s now a world away from that green and pleasant land. Constantine has returned to America, and this time he’s landed in the worst place imaginable: a cell in a maximum-security prison, with a 35-year sentence for murder. Adapting to his new environs will require a steep learning curve, but the world’s greatest magician is nothing if not flexible. In fact, the question that his fellow inmates should be asking is not how this strange-talking newcomer will endure being locked up with society’s worst offenders, but rather how they are going to survive the experience. That’s because Constantine has a few more stops to make on his stateside tour, and, unlike his cellmates, his journey begins in the joint rather than ending there. But when he arrives in the rural town of Doglick, West Virginia, to make personal amends for his crime, what he finds going on behind its closed doors shocks the famously world-weary sorcerer to his hardened, cynical core. Acclaimed writer Brian Azzarello is joined by legendary artists Richard Corben, Marcelo Frusin and Steve Dillon for a terrifying expedition into the darkest corners of the Land of the Free in JOHN CONSTANTINE, HELLBLAZER VOL. 14: GOOD INTENTIONS, collecting issues 146-161 of the signature VERTIGO series together with the nostalgic tale “The First Time” from VERTIGO SECRET FILES: HELLBLAZER.
