New Releases by MARIKO TAMAKI

“The Tower” begins! The 12-part weekly Detective Comics event starts here. Arkham Asylum has fallen, and in its place, Arkham Tower has risen in the heart of the city, a pitch made by the mysterious Dr. Wear. Backup: “House of Gotham” begins! For a long time two houses have overlooked Gotham City, beckoning its broken: Wayne Manor and Arkham Asylum.

“Fear State” aftermath! Bloody, broken, and beaten…Batman had a mission after The Joker War. He would no longer look over Gotham City from Wayne Manor; he would move to the heart of the city, get closer to its people and its problems. The fight he pursued would be different, but after Fear State he finds himself disillusioned. He is no longer the protector the city needs, and definitely not the one it deserves. Batman’s last night in Gotham City before his international sojourn is here. Backup: Harley Quinn guest-stars in the culmination of “Foundations”! Must Gotham City have an Arkham facility, and if so…will it be any different, or is doom on its way?

RISKANTES BÜNDNIS Auf dem internationalen Schwarzmarkt ist eine brandgefährliche neue Technologie gelandet, mit der sich die Gedanken von Menschen manipulieren und lenken lassen. Um zu verhindern, dass sie in die Hände mörderischer Despoten fällt und als Waffe missbraucht wird, ist Wonder Woman gezwungen, mit dem ehemaligen Superkriminellen und ihrem langjährigen Feind Maxwell Lord zusammenzuarbeiten. Der gibt sich geläutert und behauptet, dem Verbrechen abgeschworen zu haben – doch kann Wonder Woman ihm wirklich trauen? Ihre Suche führt beide um die halbe Welt bis ins Land Vlatava, dessen Volk der skrupellose Count Vertigo unter seine Knute bringen will ... Das Finale der zweibändigen Saga von Eisner Award-Gewinnerin Mariko Tamaki (HARLEY QUINN: BREAKING GLASS, Ein Sommer am See), mit Zeichnungen von Steve Pugh (ANIMAL MAN) und Rafa Sandoval (CATWOMAN). ENTHÄLT: WONDER WOMAN 764-769

“We don’t choose who we save, Bruce. You treat the patient who needs your help.”-Thomas Wayne “Shadows of the Bat” begins here! In the prelude to January’s epic new Detective Comics event, Mayor Nakano has signed off on the construction of a new Arkham Tower in the heart of Gotham City, and the Bat-Family is torn. Batman has long seen Arkham as a necessary, if flawed, cog in the gears of Gotham City-a temporary solution to larger problems that in many ways mirrors his approach as Batman. Nightwing, however, who grew up watching Arkham mutate into a villain factory, believes a different approach is needed. But Bruce and Dick will need to see eye to eye on more than just Arkham Tower, as a new villain known as THE MAEGER MAN wreaks havoc in the streets and becomes the embodiment of Gotham’s broken system!

A madcap bounty hunt across the galaxy is nothing without a little ROMANCE! Crush’s search for Lobo is getting pretty demoralizing, so when a sad alien girl mistakes Crush for her blind date…why NOT go along with it? And relive every bad relationship choice Crush has ever made? And still find Lobo before her prison monitor blows her to bits?

C’est avec une bonne dose d’insouciance mais à peine cinq billets verts en poche que la jeune Harleen Quinzel débarque, seule, dans l’une des villes les plus dangereuses du monde : Gotham City. Du haut de ses quinze ans, et de pas mal de mauvaises expériences, rien ne semble pouvoir l’impressionner. Recueillie par Mama, une drag-queen au cœur d’or, Harleen apprivoise sa nouvelle vie, sa future meilleure amie Ivy et les nouvelles problématiques qui s’imposent à elle : injustice, intolérance, violence... Aussi, quand le cabaret de sa bonne fée Mama devient la nouvelle victime d’entrepreneurs sans état d’âme, Harleen change de ton. Pour autant, une question reste en suspens : mettre sa rage au service de l’action, oui, mais aux côtés de qui ? La militante pacifiste Ivy ou l’anarchiste et très énigmatique Joker ?

What’s a girl supposed to say when she finally comes face to face with her murderous father in space prison? Crush better hurry up and figure it out, because all Lobo wants to talk about is…his feelings? Gross! But maybe the Main Man really did change his stripes. Maybe group therapy with the other inmates really worked. Maybe this isn’t all just some elaborate ploy Crush hasn’t quite figured out yet- Aw, c’mon. You’re not actually buying this therapy crap, are you?

From New York Times bestselling author Mariko Tamaki (Laura Dean Keeps Breaking Up with Me, Harley Quinn: Breaking Glass) and artist Yoshi Yoshitani (Zatanna and the House of Secrets) comes a story about Mandy, the daughter of super-famous superhero Starfire. Seventeen-year-old Mandy, daughter of Starfire, is NOT like her mother. Starfire is gorgeous, tall, sparkly, and a hero. Mandy is NOT a sparkly superhero. Mandy has no powers, is a kid who dyes her hair black and hates everyone but her best friend Lincoln. To Starfire, who is from another planet, Mandy seems like an alien, like some distant angry light years away moon. And it''s possible Mandy is even more distant lately, ever since she walked out on her S.A.T.s. Which, yeah, her mom doesn''t know. Everyone thinks Mandy needs to go to college and become whoever you become at college, but Mandy has other plans. Mandy''s big plan is that she''s going to move to France and...do whatever people do in France. But then everything changes when she gets partnered with Claire for a school project. Mandy likes Claire (even if she denies it, heartily and intensely). A lot. How do you become the person you''re supposed to be when you don''t know what that is? How do you become the person you''re supposed to be when the only thing you''re sure of is what you''re not? When someone from Starfire''s past arrives, Mandy must make a choice: give up before the battle has even begun, or step into the unknown and risk everything to save her mom. I am Not Starfire is a story about teenagers and/as aliens; about knowing where you come from and where you are going; and about mothers.

If there’s anything Crush knows, it’s that traveling through space is a great time to load up on coffee, catch up on murder podcasts, and definitely not get sucked into a spiral of depression while reflecting on your meet-cute with the ex-girlfriend who just dumped you.

In case anyone was wondering, Crush is doing just fine, actually. Sure, she recently walked away from her classmates at the Roy Harper Titans Academy and effectively quit being a Teen Titan in a blaze of glory. And okay, her relationship with her too-good-to-be-true girlfriend Katie is kind of on the rocks, if you want to get all technical about it. Oh, and she recently found out Lobo’s in space jail, but that’s cool, because he’s the worst. OKAY, maybe Crush has some STUFF, but that doesn’t mean she’s gonna DO anything about it, like actually go to space and confront her dad and all her problems, because everything is FINE. ...Right?In case anyone was wondering, Crush is doing just fine, actually.
