Akira, is set in the post-apocalypse Neo-Tokyo of 2019, a vast metropolis built on the ashes of a Tokyo annihilated by an apocalyptic blast of unknown power that triggered World War III. The lives of two streetwise teenage friends, Tetsuo and Kaneda, change forever when dormant paranormal abilities begin to waken in Tetsuo, who becomes a target for a shadowy government operation, a group who will stop at nothing to prevent another catastrophe like that which leveled Tokyo. And at the core of their motivation is a raw, all- consuming fear: a fear of someone — or something — of unthinkably monstrous power known only as…Akira! And Akira is about to rise! Collected in six massive volumes, Akira has been painstakingly reproduced in its original, mind-blowing black- and-white majesty as never-before-seen in an English-translated edition.

SHAZAM!: POWER OF HOPE Oversized SC From the fan-favorite team behind SUPERMAN: PEACE ON EARTH and BATMAN: WAR ON CRIME comes the third entry in the oversized tabloid format series that has revolutionized comics. SHAZAM!: POWER OF HOPE marks the latest collaboration between Emmy Award-winning writer/producer Paul Dini (BATMAN: HARLEY QUINN) and multiple award-winning Alex Ross (KINGDOM COME, UNCLE SAM). Perhaps no classic comic-book character embodies the spirit of youth and optimism as thoroughly as Captain Marvel — the wish fulfillment of every child who ever dreamed of having super powers and taking flight. In a personal story told from the hero's point of view, both young Billy Batson and his alter ego, Captain Marvel, devote themselves to keeping hope alive by granting the requests of a local hospital's children — in a sense, making their wishes come true. Powerfully written by Dini, with staggering painted art by Ross that combines traditional comic- book storytelling and the illustrated-text format of storybooks, SHAZAM!: POWER OF HOPE finds our hero taking a direct hand upon meeting a boy who has been injured by domestic violence. Deeply affected by the encounter, our story shows just how human the World's Mightiest Mortal truly is. This project is supported with a 4-color poster and house and trade ads. SHAZAM!: POWER OF HOPE is a 64-page oversized softcover book (measuring 10" x 13 1/2"), coedited by Charles Kochman and Joey Cavalieri. It arrives in comic-book stores November 22 with a cover price of $9.95 U.S. BATMAN: TURNING POINTS The evolving relationship between Batman and Commissioner James Gordon, from their very first encounters to the complex friendship that exists between them today, is the focus of BATMAN: TURNING POINTS — a 5-issue "Fifth Week" event running through every week of November. The five 32-page issues are linked thematically, but may be enjoyed individually. Read as a whole, they give a sense of context and scope to Batman and Gordon and the major turning points of their relationship. The issues are also set apart by distinctive designs and art styles (but with a unifying trade dress), giving a sense of the passage of time. Set shortly after the events of BATMAN: YEAR ONE, BATMAN: TURNING POINTS #1 — written by Greg Rucka with art by Steve Lieber (reuniting the Eisner Award-winning team of Whiteout: Melt) and cover by Javier Pulido (ROBIN: YEAR ONE) — finds Gordon and the Dark Knight each struggling to earn the other's trust. TURNING POINTS #2 — written by Ed Brubaker (BATMAN, DEADENDERS) with art by legendary Silver Age artist Joe Giella and cover by Ty Templeton — is set during the time when Batman first takes on a partner — Robin — and explores the moral implications of putting someone so young in the face of danger each and every night. In #3 — written by Brubaker with art by Dick Giordano (BIRDS OF PREY) and Bob Smith (CATWOMAN), with cover by Joe Kubert — set shortly after the events in BATMAN: THE KILLING JOKE, Gordon and Batman reevaluate their relationship in the wake of the tragic shooting of Barbara Gordon and the death of the second Robin. In TURNING POINTS #4 — written by Chuck Dixon (ROBIN, NIGHTWING, BIRDS OF PREY) with art by Brent Anderson (KURT BUSIEK'S ASTRO CITY) and cover by Howard Chaykin — Gordon confronts a new Dark Knight, Azrael, who has taken the mantle of the Bat during the "Knightfall" era, and the vicious methods he employs. Finally, in TURNING POINTS #5, written by Rucka with art by Paul Pope (HEAVY LIQUID) and Claude St. Aubin (GREEN LANTERN: CIRCLE OF FIRE), with cover by Pope, we return to the present day, where the events of "No Man's Land" have made Gordon reassess one final time his relationship with Gotham and the Dark Knight. Gordon's readiness to walk away from it all has a profound effect on Batman and sets the stage for several major storylines that will dominate the Bat-titles in 2001! This project is supported with a 4-color poster and house and trade ads. BATMAN: TURNING POINTS is a 5-issue miniseries released weekly in November and is coedited by Bob Schreck and Matt Idelson. The 32-page issue #1 arrives in comic-book stores November 1 with a cover price of $2.50 U.S. GREEN LANTERN/SUPERMAN: LEGENDS OF THE GREEN FLAME In 1987, a year before the start of his critically acclaimed and award-winning run on THE SANDMAN, writer Neil Gaiman penned an amazing tale that featured Superman and Green Lantern Hal Jordan on a perilous soul- searching journey. Originally commissioned for ACTION COMICS WEEKLY, the story was never illustrated or published. Now, over a decade later, this "lost" tale has been unearthed and finally is being published — utilizing some of today's finest artists to illustrate it, in the 48-page Prestige Format one-shot GREEN LANTERN/SUPERMAN: LEGENDS OF THE GREEN FLAME. Featuring a cover by Frank Miller and art by an array of talents that includes Eddie Campbell, Matt Wagner, Kevin Nowlan, Mark Buckingham, Jason Little, John Totleben, Jim Aparo, Mike Allred, Eric Shanower, Arthur Adams, and Terry Austin, LEGENDS centers around Hal questioning his place in the universe, and the role he was given as the intergalactic policeman of sector 2814. Seeking the advice of Clark Kent, he travels to Metropolis where the two heroes plan to spend the day together. But a visit to a new museum offers a surprise for Hal, as he is shocked to discover what appears to be an odd- looking, dusty old lantern on display. A green lantern. While investigating the relic, which Hal believes to be an old power battery, the lantern explodes with energy, sending the pair on an unbelievable journey taking them everywhere imaginable (and some not) within the battery itself, as they encounter the likes of Deadman, the Phantom Stranger and many others. This project is supported with house and trade ads. GREEN LANTERN/SUPERMAN: LEGENDS OF THE GREEN FLAME is a 48-page Prestige Format one-shot edited by Bob Schreck. It arrives in comic-book stores November 8 with a cover price of $5.95 U.S. JLA: A LEAGUE OF ONE HC One of the year's grandest, most breathtaking adventures unfolds in this 112-page instant classic that continues the proud new tradition of JLA original hardcover graphic novels begun by last year's smash hit JLA: EARTH 2. Written and fully painted by the brilliantly gifted Christopher Moeller (SHIVA'S WAR), JLA: A LEAGUE OF ONE is an epic story in which the Justice League is divided against itself in a heartbreaking battle to the death. An ancient, evil dragon awakens from his subterranean slumber once again to menace a world that's forgotten that such monsters of flame and guile ever existed. But the new world of today has its own Round Table of protectors in the form of the JLA. When Wonder Woman goes to the infallible Amazon oracle and learns that the JLA is destined to die in battle against the dragon, she must make the most difficult decision of her life — embarking on a terrible, unwinnable quest to thwart fate, putting her at odds with those she loves most. In JLA: A LEAGUE OF ONE, Superman, Batman and the rest of the League learn that while some heroes may be Wonder Woman's match, none surpass her. JLA: A LEAGUE OF ONE is a sumptuous visual feast, a rich tapestry of storytelling that is poetic in its soaring beauty. This project is supported with a 4-color poster and house and trade ads.

The one-shot LEX 2000 features stories by Jeph Loeb (SUPERMAN) and Greg Rucka (DETECTIVE COMICS), with art by Tony Harris (STARMAN, JSA LIBERTY FILES), Dwayne Turner (Spawn: The Undead), Doug Mahnke (ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN), and Todd Nauck (YOUNG JUSTICE) with a painted cover by Glen Orbik, and traces Lex Luthor's rise to power. Included are a look into Lex's personal life, the world's reaction to his candidacy (including the real world's reaction), Batman's attempt to regain the Kryptonite ring that Luthor has in his possession, and many more surprises! Ultimately, SUPERMAN: LEX 2000 features the winner of the DCU Presidential campaign — with some possibly surprising results that may affect not only all of Superman's titles for some time to come, but those of the whole DC Universe. Regardless of the outcome, no Superman or DC fan can afford to miss this pivotal one-shot — which leads into the rest of Superman's books in November. This project is supported with campaign buttons, a 4-color poster and house and trade ads.

WONDER WOMAN #164 begins a 4-part storyline plotted and pencilled by Jimenez — joined by master scripter J.M. DeMatteis (ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN) and inker Andy Lanning (LEGION LOST, JLA/TITANS), with continuing covers by Adam Hughes — featuring Batman, his allies and his greatest foes. Diana travels to Gotham City to stop the Joker, Scarecrow and Poison Ivy from turning the Dark Knight's city into the source of a worldwide conflagration. But the Bat- villains have formed a mysterious alliance with some familiar Wonder Woman characters that gives them greater powers than they've ever dreamed! Jimenez's love for Wonder Woman and her supporting cast is evident in every beautifully rendered, finely detailed panel as he produces the most personal and passionate artwork of his career. The stories that Jimenez has conjured return an emotional resonance to Wonder Woman, while delivering heart-stopping action and pulse-pounding excitement. Future story arcs in Jimenez's year-long stint will feature other special DC guest stars (with some surprise cowriters joining in on scripting chores), as many well-known foes return, deadlier than ever. Jimenez reestablishes Wonder Woman's role, presence and prominence in the DC Universe, culminating in a major event next year that will forever change the Amazon Princess.

Consult your retailer for pricing information. Because you demanded it! CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS TP Worlds lived. Worlds died. And the DC Universe was never the same. CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS, the monumental 12-issue maxiseries that redefined Comics' Original Universe and dramatically altered DC's most well-established super-heroes, is collected in a much-demanded (by fans and retailers) trade paperback edition — just in time for holiday gift-giving! Early-solicited this month, it's an affordable chance to read the first companywide crossover to truly deliver what it promised: lasting change — as seen in the deaths of some of DC's most beloved characters, such as the original Supergirl and Silver Age Flash Barry Allen. Written by Marv Wolfman with pencils by George Pérez and inks by Dick Giordano, Mike DeCarlo and Jerry Ordway, CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS finds the multiple worlds that once were a hallmark of the DC Universe — Earths 1, 2, 3, 4, S, X, and more — under siege from a mysterious force that quickly claims the lives of billions of people. But a strange being called the Monitor has gathered heroes from many of the endangered worlds in hopes of thwarting the force, controlled by his evil counterpart, the Anti-Monitor. As the battle rages and the true stakes are revealed, even the sacrifices of Supergirl and the Flash are not enough to stop the universe-shaking transformation that lies in store — a change that made the DC Universe more accessible than ever before. Also solicited this month is a new printing of the CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS POSTER — reproducing the stunning wraparound artwork from the cover of the CRISIS trade, painted by Alex Ross over pencils by Pérez. The 65" w x 28" h poster also comes with a key that identifies all 562 characters! This project is supported with house ads. CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS TP is a 368-page trade paperback book.

THE AUTHORITY: UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT TP collects issues #9-16 of the hit WILDSTORM series, featuring the "changing of the guard" from the original creative team of Warren Ellis, Bryan Hitch and Paul Neary to the equally exciting new team of Mark Millar, Frank Quitely and Trevor Scott. In "Outer Dark," the final AUTHORITY story arc by Ellis, Hitch and Neary, the team faces a godlike alien invader, who has returned to Earth fighting mad after eons. And as the battle comes to an end, so does the life of Authority spearhead Jenny Sparks, the Spirit of the Twentieth Century. UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT also collects "The Nativity," the sold-out first story arc from the current AUTHORITY team of writer Millar and artists Quitely & Scott (who provide a new cover for this collection). The now Jenny-less heroes find themselves world celebrities, as well as the world's policemen, and must stop a diabolical super-genius with a legion of super-soldiers as he attempts to capture the infant Spirit of the Twenty-First Century and mold her to suit his own nefarious plans.

Scott Campbell & Humberto Ramos, will each account for 25% of the print run). THE HOUSE ON THE BORDERLAND HC It sits astride two worlds — our bleak world of colorless normality, and the realms of cosmic horror where reason may yet have a last chance to conquer fear. To this ancient dwelling, a challenger comes — to exorcise its shadowed curse, to plumb its pits of ultimate perversity and, perhaps, to prevent evil's emergence into the present. Forgotten until now, the House on the Borderland awaits you. Open the door. Enter. Rediscover the fear. Deal with it. A timeless classic oft-read and reread since its initial publication in London in 1908, THE HOUSE ON THE BORDERLAND, a tale by William Hope Hodgson, is a story of supernatural paranoia that blends science fiction, fantasy and Lovecraftian horror in a potent mix. Now comics legend and illustrator Richard Corben (HELLBLAZER, Heavy Metal, Den), long recognized in the field as an innovator and delineator of cosmic horror, and longtime collaborator and scripter Simon Revelstroke bring their considerable passion and graphic expertise to this stunning 96-page original hardcover VERTIGO graphic-novel adaptation of this ageless tale, adding an original framing sequence that taps a contemporary vein. Featuring an introduction by comics legend Alan Moore that offers an appreciation of Hodgson's contribution to the horror pantheon, THE HOUSE ON THE BORDERLAND is a must-read for true connoisseurs of the genre, offering a phantasmagoric tour of the razor-thin line between fantasy and reality, life and sleep, hope and death. This project is supported with a 4-color poster and house, trade, and outreach ads. THE HOUSE ON THE BORDERLAND is a 96-page VERTIGO hardcover edited by Axel Alonso and is suggested for mature readers. It arrives in comic-book stores November 22 with a cover price of $29.95 U.S. BATMAN: HARVEST BREED HC From the brilliant writer/painter behind the compelling ENEMY ACE: WAR IDYLL graphic novel comes a horrific tale of vengeance and consequence. Written and painted by George Pratt, BATMAN: HARVEST BREED is a spine-tingling 96-page original hardcover graphic novel that will leave you on the edge of your seat. A series of grisly murders in Gotham City leads Commissioner James Gordon to reopen the case file on similar homicides from years past — ones that have gone unresolved all these years. The murders' decidedly demonic overtones bring Batman into the case, determined to uncover the truth behind the killings. The trail of dead bodies leads to a very unlikely suspect, who may be the source of unspeakable evil. But what is her connection to the murders? Renowned as both writer and painter, Pratt's ENEMY ACE: WAR IDYLL set a standard for painted graphic novels and he outdoes himself with HARVEST BREED, mixing elements of contemporary comics, demonic villains, and the battlefields of a long-ended war. This project is supported with house and trade ads. BATMAN: HARVEST BREED is a 96-page hardcover edited by Matt Idelson. It arrives in comic-book stores November 15 with a cover price of $24.95 U.S. A new kind of Hell HELLBLAZER: HARD TIME TP John Constantine has found himself in a new kind of hell: a maximum-security penitentiary. Throughout his sordid career, not much has scared Constantine. As long as he's had his smokes and his freedom, he's always been in control. But what happens when those things are taken away from him? The unexpected answers play out in the HELLBLAZER: HARD TIME TP — a collection of the first HELLBLAZER storyline by series writer Brian Azzarello (100 BULLETS, JONNY DOUBLE), with art by legendary horror artist Richard Corben (Den) — artist of this month's extraordinary THE HOUSE ON THE BORDERLAND hardcover — and a new cover by Tim Bradstreet. Stripped of his trademark trench coat, his pack of cigarettes, and the safety net of his personal connections, Constantine must adapt to an environment unlike any other he's experienced — a hard place governed by even harder men, where weakness is rewarded by death...or worse. For Constantine, always used to being the baddest of the bad, survival will require learning a whole new set of rules as he navigates a treacherous maze of ruthless gangs, brutal guards and, eventually, the prison's formidable overlord. And once his education is complete, then Constantine can begin to teach others the rules of his game. And that's when things start to get really interesting... HELLBLAZER: HARD TIME TP is a 128-page VERTIGO trade paperback and is suggested for mature readers. It arrives in comic-book stores November 1 with a cover price of $9.95 U.S. STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION® — THE GORN CRISIS HC During the Dominion War, as seen in the last two seasons of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine®, there was one Federation starship notably absent from the action — the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-E. Where were Captain Jean- Luc Picard and crew, and why weren't they in the thick of battle? Best-selling authors Kevin J. Anderson and Rebecca Moesta (Dune: House Atreides, Young Jedi Knights) answer that question in WILDSTORM'S first fully painted Star Trek original hardcover graphic novel, STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION® — THE GORN CRISIS. As the name reveals, the Enterprise-E was off in another part of space, dealing with a rogue force of Gorn (the lizard creatures from the original series) trying to use the distraction of the Dominion War to launch their own attack against Starfleet, in revenge for the way they were treated by Captain James T. Kirk and crew a century before. With beautifully painted art and cover by Igor Kordey (Tarzan/Batman: Claws of the Catwoman), this stunning book takes us deeper into the world of the Gorn than we've ever been, giving new insights into one of the most popular alien races from the original Star Trek series. This graphic novel is destined to be a new STAR TREK classic and a fan favorite. This project is supported with house and trade ads.

JLA: ACT OF GOD What's the worst thing that could happen to the World's Greatest Super-Heroes? In one instant, without any warning, a mysterious flash of black light is felt all around the world. The result? All the super-powered individuals on Earth — whether meta-human, alien or of another race — lose all their super-human abilities at once. Suddenly Superman is unable to save a town from a flash flood. The Flash is unable to outrace a bullet that ends up killing a police officer. And many, many more heroes are left completely and utterly helpless to save lives and fight crime as usual. In JLA: ACT OF GOD, a 3-issue Elseworlds Prestige Format miniseries written by Doug Moench (BATMAN: HAUNTED GOTHAM) with art and cover by Dave Ross (Thrax, West Coast Avengers) and George Freeman (LEAVE IT TO CHANCE), the repercussions of the "black light" event are felt not only by the JLA, but by nearly all of Earth's heroes. How did this happen, and why? A villainous revolt is ruled out as Earth's super-powered criminals are powerless as well. The government isn't saying anything — probably because they don't mind that there's now a more level playing field. There seems to be no logical explanation for any of this — other than it's simply an "Act of God." With Earth's mightiest heroes stripped of their powers, the bulk of their duties now lie in the hands of nonpowered heroes such as Batman, Black Canary and Blue Beetle. But there are sinister dealings afoot — and the heroes of the world will need their abilities returned in order to face them effectively. With no answers to why any of this has happened, things are looking hopeless. Will the extra burden on the nonpowered heroes result in the death of a JLA member? This project is supported with house and trade ads. JLA: ACT OF GOD is a 3-issue Elseworlds Prestige Format miniseries edited by Andrew Helfer.
