Praise for Super Sons: “Pure fun.” -Paste Magazine “10/10.” -Comicosity The sons of Batman and Superman, Robin and Superboy, are used to stepping-or flying-out of their parents’ shadows. But while Jonathan Kent was brought up by kindhearted Clark Kent and the brilliant journalist Lois Lane, Damian Wayne’s parental supervision has a sinister edge. Sure, he’s been trained in the ways of crime-fighting by his Dark Knight dad, Bruce Wayne. But before he was Batman’s son-slash-sidekick, he was raised to rule the world by the League of Assassins and its killer queen, his mother-the Daughter of the Demon herself, Talia al Ghul. Now Talia has returned to reclaim her son for the shadows, and not even the tumultuous team-up of the Super Sons may be enough to stop it. Because with the secrets of Robin’s dark past-and murderous methods-out in the light for the first time, Superboy may decide his friend really is an enemy after all. The stage is set for a final showdown between Damian and…well, that’s the question. Will he join forces with his mom to take Superboy down for good, or will the Super Sons stick together, live fast and fly young? Find out in Super Sons Vol. 3: Parent Trap.

A graphic novel depicting the history of the construction of the Brooklyn Bridge and the family that made it happen. In this extraordinary graphic novel, author Peter J. Tomasi and illustrator Sara DuVall bring to life the construction of one of the most iconic landmarks in the world and shine a light on the incredible triumphs and tragedies that went into building the Brooklyn Bridge. After the accidental death of John Augustus Roebling in 1869, it was up to Roebling’s son Washington to complete the massive project. Unfortunately, there was more pain to follow, as Washington developed caisson disease, leaving him bedridden. Washington’s wife, Emily, deftly assumed a key role in the bridge’s construction by becoming her husband’s eyes and ears at the work site. As Washington’s wisest council, Emily skillfully navigated work crews who now had to answer to a woman, contractors, a hostile press, and a greedy city politician—all looking to take credit for the magnificent bridge slowly making its way across the East River. Through it all, the Roeblings persisted, rising above every obstacle to build the great bridge that connects Brooklyn and New York. “Told by prolific superhero scribe Tomasi . . . with charmingly understated art by the Eisner-nominated Duvall . . . this historical graphic narrative presents dramatic events in a matter-of-fact, realistic way. . . . Rather than being a story of a singular genius overcoming adversity, the book is a paean to collaboration. Iconic structures often have fascinating stories behind them, but rarely do the tellings emphasize the human as this one does,” —Publishers Weekly “[Tomasi] does a magnificent job of depicting the politics, the danger, and the tenacity of the Roebling family and the hundreds of workers who built the bridge,” —Good Comics for Kids

Superman’s investigation leads him to an underground super fight club called Mythbrawl, which he joins to make ends meet while he tracks down Hodor_Root, leader of the crime syndicate that leverages secrets for power. Yet he soon discovers the real threat comes from Hodor_Root’s “father,” Vandal Savage, and his orchestrated campaign to reclaim the comet that granted him immortality aeons ago. If Savage succeeds, he’ll grow powerful beyond imagining.
