June 2010

Empowered Vol. 6
$15.99 - Dark Horse
Warren
After a fiery disaster claims the lives of several teammates, costumed crimefighter Empowered stumbles upon an ugly little secret of the masks-and-tights business: a growing number of ill-fated superheroes have found out the hard way that, while their bodies are still mortal, their superpowers are not . . . Now, only our downtrodden but doggedly determined heroine can save the (semi)living superdead from a very genuine “fate worse than death,” while simultaneously grappling with the challenges of vengefully vacationing ninja clans, car-trunk carpet burn, superhero-fantasy-league drafts, excessive bedroom chatter, and deals with the devil both figurative and literal! All this, plus Emp’s not-so-secret origin is revealed at last!
Welcome to Tranquility: One Foot in the Grave No. 1
$2.99 - DC-Wildstorm
Simone/Dominguez
The fan-favorite series from Gail Simone returns as Sheriff Thomasina Lindo and the town of Tranquility's unique inhabitants face a new crisis: the return of Mayor Fury from prison! Following the cataclysmic events in the previous series, Mayor Fury faced a trial for murder and was acquitted when the star witness refused to testify. Now he's free and wants to come home to the town he loves, but a powerful foe from his past has other plans for Fury -- and the entire town! Acclaimed writer Gail Simone (WONDER WOMAN, BIRDS OF PREY) and artist Horacio Domingues (WILDCATS: NEMESIS) spin a new tale from the wondrously small town populated by larger-than-life superhuman citizens!
American Vampire Vol. 1
$24.99 - DC-Vertigo
Snyder/King/Albuquerque
American Vampire introduces a new strain of vampire -- a more vicious species -- and traces the creatures' bloodline through decades of American history. This first hardcover volume of the critically acclaimed series collects issues 1-5 and follows two stories: one written by Snyder and one written by King, both with art by future superstar Rafael Albuquerque. Snyder's tale follows Pearl, a young woman living in 1920s Los Angeles, who is brutally turned into a vampire and sets out on a path of righteous revenge against the European monsters who tortured and abused her. And in King's story set in the days of America's Wild West, readers learn the origin of Skinner Sweet, the original American vampire -- a stronger, faster creature than any vampire ever seen before.

$3.99 - DC-Vertigo
