She assumed the girls who said they were brides to the demon Rakagore were just crazy—but when Rakagore actually shows up, the only thing more bizarre than his appearance is who he was hiding behind. Can a medicated Buffy deal with a demon with a taste for hospitalized young women, or will she have to call on help from outside?

Monroe appears in all 12 panels of the first 1956 Sunday, setting the pace for the next two sizzling years.

Others skewered are gay pianist Liberace (Loverboynik), bald actor Yul Brynner (Errol Skinn), actress Jayne Mansfield (Jayne Cornfield), and actress-turned-princess Grace Kelly (supplanted here by Daisy Mae Yokum) marrying the Prince of Monte Carload. Regular cast members with plot time include Evil Eye Fleegle (with his powerful whammy), Hairless Joe and Lonesome Polecat, Moonbeam McSwine (who prefers the company of pigs to men) and über-capitalist General Bullmoose.

It's not the tower itself that's the focus of this fight, but the powerful and deadly secret that festers behind its holy façade. In the days of Pope Innocent XLII, the toll of a church bell is a death-knell to its followers—and the entire world!—unless Orion Assante can put a stop to the Church's horrifying plan. But Confederacy of Police officer Pellon Cross is on a mission to put a stop to Assante, and the Pope has declared an Inquistion into his efforts.

Writing and illustrating an action-packed weekly serial called "Hawks of the Seas" —a pirate adventure series set in the 18th-century Caribbean—the artist created one dynamic strip after another, honing his storytelling craft and shaping the comics medium with each one. That artist was none other than comics' grand master Will Eisner! From 1936 to 1938, Eisner's "Hawks of the Seas" weekly stories were translated into several different languages and distributed all over the world, and now they're collected here in this handsome hardcover edition.

Does a five-hundred-year-old document—the Blackburne Covenant—prevent the creation of a better world? That's what nouveau riche and on-the-run Manhattan author Richard Kaine is trying to figure out. But the closer he gets to his answer, the weirder things get—vengeful nuns, murderous Eurotrash hardbodies, ancient documents, and psychedelic mushrooms are just the tip of this mind- bending iceberg.

SUNNY BUICK'S SUGAR SKULL "In my art death isn't something dark and scary. It is colorful and celebratory. I've found that in Tibetan and Mexican cultures, death is repeatedly presented in a brilliant and compelling manner. Maybe it makes it easier to come to grips with if we can look at it and not be afraid. Skulls are beautiful to me and a great tattoo image. Sugar Skulls are great to tattoo because you can mix all kinds of fun symbols and images in a traditionally tough tattoo." INTRON DEPOT Japanese artist Masamune Shirow is well known to discriminating comics readers. American editions of his spectacular graphic epics have been highly praised and voraciously collected.

BATMAN/SUPERMAN/WONDER WOMAN: TRINITY Everyone knows that the Man of Steel, the Dark Knight, and the Amazon Princess have been teammates and allies for years. But where — and how — did those relationships begin? For the first time ever, the classic tale of Superman and Batman's first meeting with Wonder Woman can be told! In BATMAN/SUPERMAN/WONDER WOMAN: TRINITY, a 3-issue Prestige Format miniseries written and illustrated by comics great Matt Wagner (Mage, Grendel, SANDMAN MYSTERY THEATRE, GREEN ARROW), this super—powered trio of heroes gathers together — and battles side-by-side — for what would be just the first of countless adventures. It all begins when a mysterious, billionaire eco-terrorist unearths what potentially could be the greatest weapon the world has ever seen — the juggernaut clone of Superman known as Bizarro! In his mad quest to remake the world in his own image, this madman seeks out a third ally to bring his dreams to fruition — a deadly female warrior to complete this circle of evil. Together, the troika of terror casts an ominous shadow over the very future of mankind…a future that appears to grow even shorter when a massive array of nuclear weapons goes missing! Witness the birth of a legendary alliance, as Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman join forces to defend Earth against an apocalyptic fate! This project is supported with trade and house ads, a preview in DC HORIZON, and a minisite at www.dccomics.com.

And when Jakita Wagner, Elijah Snow and the Drummer travel to Gotham City, they mean business. Get ready for the crossover that leads into the relaunch of the year's most anticipated returning series! BATMAN/PLANETARY: NIGHT ON EARTH, by the critically acclaimed PLANETARY team of Warren Ellis (TRANSMETROPOLITAN, GLOBAL FREQUENCY) and John Cassaday (PLANETARY, Captain America, DESPERADOES), is a 48-page Prestige Format Special that brings together two of comics' hottest properties for multiverse-spanning bonanza! Wagner, Snow and the Drummer track an amoral killer with a personal distortion field to Gotham City, prepared for battle. What they weren't prepared for was the Dark Knight! Of course, Batman doesn't exist on the same Earth as Planetary, which means the killer distortion field has worked in some very strange ways! Now the device is pulling, twisting and shifting the heroes through The Bleed, to untold versions of Gotham City…and Batman!

JLA: WORKWEEK Mix a stand-up comedian and top comedy writer with the world's most powerful heroes. The resulting concoction is a hilarious behind-the-scenes look at the real lives of super-powered beings! It all comes together in JLA: WORKWEEK, a Prestige Format special written by Patton Oswalt (BATMAN #600), best known as a Spence on the CBS-TV series King of Queens. Oswalt has also written for MAD TV and Austin Stories, and has mined super- hero territory for humor in his stand-up act. WORKWEEK features art by Patrick Gleason (JSA, HAWKMAN SECRET FILES) & Christian Alamy (ENEMY ACE: WAR IN HEAVEN), and tells the story of Marlus Randone and his brush with World's Mightiest Heroes! Randone, along with the rest of his neighborhood, finds himself transported onboard the JLA Watchtower as protection from an alien threat. Once the threat is contained, the town is safely teleported back home — all except for Marlus, that is! Notebook and disposable camera in hand, he sets out to record and report whatever he can before he's caught. What follows is 168 hours of planet-wide threats that seem to go ignored, petty squabbles that could decide the fate of the world, and a side of the Justice League rarely glimpsed by ordinary citizens! Get ready for seven days of DC's mightiest super-heroes doing some pretty un-mighty stuff, all observed by an unwilling stowaway who just happens to self-publish a magazine about super-heroes!

OUTSIDERS The lives of several heroes — and the super-teams they were a part of — were shattered during the events of THE TITANS/YOUNG JUSTICE: GRADUATION DAY. Now, the heroes left standing must pick up the pieces! In OUTSIDERS, written by Judd Winick (GREEN LANTERN, Exiles) with art and covers by Tom Raney (Uncanny X-Men, STORMWATCH) & Scott Hanna (Amazing Spider-Man, Peter Parker: Spider-Man) Nightwing and Arsenal must decide how a team of heroes can be reborn. Arsenal takes it upon himself to recruit a new group of heroes…and the ones he finds are quite a crew! Grace, a super-strong bouncer working at a meta-human club; Thunder, the mass-changing daughter of Black Lightning; Indigo, the cyborg girl from the future; the shape-shifting Metamorpho; and Jade — from the pages of GREEN LANTERN — are all waiting in the wings. But unfortunately for these newly assembled Outsiders, their first mission — to protect President Lex Luthor — could be their last! Because what do you get when a barrel of fierce monkey-warriors attack Manhattan? Mayhem! Plus, there are plenty of startling developments as this all-new series begins!

You're about to find out! Writers Alan Moore & Peter Hogan team up with artists Yanick Paquette & Karl Story for TERRA OBSCURA, a 6-issue miniseries that ventures into a new corner of the ABC universe! It's been nearly three years since the events in TOM STRONG #12, and the heroes of Terra Obscura haven't had things easy. After being held in suspended animation for decades, they're finding out that their loved ones are aged or dead, their children are now older than they are, and their secret identities have been blown. And culturally, there's a lot to catch up on: fast food, cell phones, the Internet, and much more! Preoccupied with their own problems, S.M.A.S.H. hasn't met in two years. Tom Strange has vanished. Mystico is in seclusion, and the Ghost has departed Earth for the higher planes. In this world, only The Terror 2003 Program has any authority. So why is one of his former teammates trying to take the program offline — permanently? Plus, a mysterious threat has begun to overtake the western United States, destroying all technology in its wake. It's spreading like a cancer, and soon the world will be reduced to Stone Age technology. Where are the heroes when their world needs them? This project is supported with house ads, a preview in WILDSTORM HORIZON, and a minisite at www.wildstorm.com. TERRA OBSCURA is a 6-issue AMERICA'S BEST COMICS miniseries edited by Ben Abernathy. The 32-page issue #1 arrives in comic-book stores June 25 with a cover price of $2.95 U.S. Somebody stole America. They're stealing it back. THE LOSERS Once the Losers were an elite U.S. Special Forces unit operating as the covert bloody hand of America in the world's most dangerous flashpoints from Colombia to Africa to Iraq. And since every mission could easily have been their last, this crew always played the game like they had nothing to lose...the dirtier the job, the better they liked it. Until they stumbled across a dirty "little" C.I.A. secret they couldn't ignore. THE LOSERS is a hard-hitting new ongoing crime/espionage series mixing real- world situations with widescreen action, written by Andy Diggle (HELLBLAZER SPECIAL: LADY CONSTANTINE, 2000 AD), with art and covers by Jock (2000 AD, HELLBLAZER). What the Losers uncovered about the C.I.A. cut straight to the heart of the intelligence community: a cynical betrayal of the principles America is supposed to stand for. And when the Losers refused to play along, elements within the Agency had them assassinated, claiming the unit was killed in action in a tragic helicopter crash. Now the Losers are back together, seriously ticked off, and looking for payback. They're the ultimate high-stakes heist crew, declaring war on the organization that stabbed them in the back. And in the process, proving that when the enemy thinks you're "dead," you've got nothing to lose. Like issue #1 of the red hot Y: THE LAST MAN, THE LOSERS #1 is a super- sized 40-page comic at the regular single-issue price. For fans of 100 BULLETS, PREACHER and Queen & Country, or movies like Ocean's 11, Three Kings and Heat, THE LOSERS is the comic book you've been waiting for.

All this success energized the Man of Steel's comics, as demonstrated by the stories presented in SUPERMAN ARCHIVES Volume 6 — a 216-page hardcover reprinting SUPERMAN #21-24, featuring stories by Superman creators Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster and others, plus an introduction by comics industry giant Steve Geppi, owner of Diamond Comic Distributors. Both the art and the stories showcased in this volume reflect a growing sense of sophistication, with stronger characterization as well. Superman's foes, too, were becoming more than just corrupt officials, blackmarketers, fifth columnists, and toughs (although there are plenty of them in this collection). This volume finds Superman facing off against The Prankster, investigating a murder on a college campus, lifting the spirits of a suicidal baseball player, confronting a modern Robin Hood, resolving the riddle of the gremlin-like Squffles, and 10 other classic tales of the Man of Steel!

His fame soared after he helped to rebuild the earthquake-damaged Gotham City. Where does he go from there? The White House, naturally!

The most influential and popular may be Neal Adams, who in the late 1960s put the Dark Knight back in the shadows and updated his image for a new generation of fans. Now, for the first time, all of Neal Adams's Batman work — covers and stories — is being chronologically collected in three volumes, the first of which debuts in September! BATMAN ILLUSTRATED BY NEAL ADAMS Volume 1 is an extraordinary 240-page hardcover featuring Adams's contributions from 1967 through 1969, showing the process of introduction, adaptation, and innovation that the young artist brought to this legendary crime—fighter. Along the way, Adams also illustrates many other DC heroes, including Superman, The Flash, Aquaman, and The Teen Titans, as well as his signature character, Deadman. When Adams burst onto the scene in the 1960s, his sense of design, color and realism not only helped influence a generation of artists and excited fans, and also inspired many writers to new heights of creativity — including Bob Haney and other writers showcased in Volume 1. Adams provides a new cover and introduction, and has gone back to tweak some of his early art and re-color five of the eight stories presented here. Volume 1 reprints material from BATMAN #200, 203 and 210; THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD #75-76 and 79-85; DETECTIVE COMICS #370, 372, 385, 389, 391, and 392; and WORLD'S FINEST COMICS #174-176, 178-180, 182-183, 185, and 186.

PROPOSITION PLAYER is a caustically funny, deftly satirical story of redemption in the casinos of Las Vegas...and beyond. Joey is a "proposition player" paid by a casino to fill empty seats at high-stakes poker games. Arrogant, talented and strangely likable, he's especially good at talking his way into trouble. Like when, just for kicks, he offers a co-worker a beer in exchange for his soul. After the rest of his colleagues get in on the action, Joey's out a good chunk of change, with nothing to show for it but a pile of his friends' handwritten notes signing over their souls. Joey thinks they're just worthless scraps of paper, but envoys from Heaven and Hell think differently. Suddenly, Joey's caught in the middle of a tug-of-war between celestial powers, with an ever-expanding angel named Bill on one side and the sinfully sexy devil-woman named Hell Mary on the other. How can Vegas' smoothest talker talk his way out of this? This project is supported with house ads. PROPOSITION PLAYER is a 144-page VERTIGO trade paperback that is suggested for mature readers.

Collecting the first seven issues of the fan-favorite series that Moore refers to as some of his edgier work, this collection is just too good for comics fans to pass up! (STAR16325) "In [Paradise, Too!], we get Moore's sketchbook doodles – editorial cartoons, embryonic story idea sketches, puns, social commentary, and, as he says, 'blatant Freudian explorations, answers to all contemporary ethics and physics questions,' and the like. In short, a few pages of a cartoonist having a good time exercising his pencil (the sketches are all in pencil) and his funny bone. Wonderful." – Author and comics historian R.C.
