"Redcoat mixes history and the unknown for a tantalizing start." —AIPT Immortal. Mercenary. Kind of a tool. Meet Simon Pure, the newest UNNAMED hero, created by comic all-stars Geoff Johns and Bryan Hitch, now collected in a deluxe hardcover edition featuring exclusive extras.A British soldier and all-around rogue, Pure’s led quite an exciting life. Or lives, really. After a failed assassination of General George Washington at the Battle of Trenton in 1776, Simon stumbled upon hooded figures performing a bizarre ritual that accidentally gave him immortality. Since that fateful day, Simon has died and returned countless times over, rubbing elbows (and sometimes fists) with history’s most renowned figures, including his nemesis Benedict Arnold, Albert Einstein, real-life serial killers the Bloody Benders, American icon Johnny Appleseed, Wild West sharpshooter Annie Oakley, and many more. But none of those encounters prepare him for The Northerner—a mysterious time-traveler who needs Simon’s help to prevent the Confederacy from winning the Civil War. That is, if the two can find a way to work together instead of killing one another. This volume closes out with a trip to Washington, D.C., as Simon encounters a haunting in the White House in a prelude to the FIRST GHOST miniseries. Collects Redcoat #1-14 and includes behind-the-scenes, in-progress art and commentary from the creative team.

The superstar creative team of Mark Waid and Bryan Hitch tell a DC Black Label story exploring a dying Lex Luthor, his relationship with Superman, and a quest to save the greatest criminal mastermind of our time. Superman learns Lex Luthor is dying, and he wants the Man of Steel to help him find the cure for whatever is causing his rapid decline. While the world wants to say good riddance to Luthor, Superman will go to the ends of the universe, through different dimensions, and across time to save his foe. But just why does he want to save the person who s spent his life trying to destroy him? And will he even be able to find the solution?

As the 21st century dawns, a battle-hardened Authority turns its attention to a previously unchallenged class of villains-the invisible power brokers who manipulate the world's political figureheads to advance their own selfish interests. The powers that be, however, didn't get where they are by playing nice. They've made plans for every contingency-including teams of insanely powerful superhumans with sentient, city-size, interdimensional spaceships. So when the Authority begins to seriously upset their hard-won networks of control, the backlash that results is as swift as it is devastating. But as bad as things get, these attacks are still comprehensible on a human scale. The same can't be said for what is following in their wake.

The World s Greatest Heroes become something more than legends in this definitive collection of Mark Waid s era-shaping Justice League stories. From reality-warping nightmares to apocalyptic invasions, the JLA stands between Earth and the impossible and, at times, between each other. Spanning origin, crisis, and character-defining trials, this monumental omnibus encapsulates the full scope of Waid s contributions to the JLA mythos. These are the stories that reveal the League at its most strategic, most vulnerable, and most iconic. Waid s work probes what happens when contingency, trust, fear, and love collide at the top of the superhero hierarchy. Justice League: A Midsummer s Nightmare thrusts the heroes into a shared dreamscape where identity fractures and destiny reshapes itself. JLA: Year One reimagines how five strangers forged the world s premier super-team, while Flash & Green Lantern: The Brave and the Bold explores the friendship that anchors the League s heart. Classic arcs such as Tower of Babel, Queen of Fables, Man and Superman, Heaven s Ladder, and Terror Incognita push the League to their mental, moral, and cosmic limits testing not just their powers, but their faith in one another.
