DER WEISSE RITTER SCHLÄGT ZURÜCK Batmans brutaler Kreuzzug gegen das Böse wird plötzlich eine Gefahr für die Bürger von Gotham City. Angeblich kann nur einer die Stadt vor dem rücksichtlosen Wüten des Dunklen Ritters retten: Jack Napier, besser bekannt als der Joker! Mit Harley Quinn an seiner Seite wird der vom Wahnsinn geheilte Clownprinz des Verbrechens zu Gothams Weißem Ritter… Unter dem Black Label präsentieren Top-Künstler atemberaubende, eigenständige Geschichten – ganz in der Tradition von BATMAN: THE KILLING JOKE. Da diese Erzählungen unabhängig von den Ereignissen anderer Storys sind, eignen sie sich besonders gut für Neueinsteiger oder Gelegenheitsleser. In BATMAN: DER WEISSE RITTER stellt der preisgekrönte Autor und Zeichner Sean Murphy (THE WAKE, AMERICAN VAMPIRE) die Batman-Mythologie auf den Kopf.

Australia and its formation - through the distorted view of a rum bottle.Could the Rum Rebellion have been averted if Major Johnston wasn't hungover?Would the Eureka Stockade have been different if the rebels weren't pissed?How were prisoners to get drunk if Macquarie closed the only pub in the goal?And why should sailors under fourteen be deprived of their sixteen shots of rum per day?These are just some of the questions raised in Matt Murphy's account of Australia's colonial history. Brimming with detailed research and irreverent character sketches, Rum looks at not just how much was drunk in colonial Australia (a lot!), but also the lengths people went to get their hands on it, the futile efforts of the early governors to control it, and the often disastrous and/or absurd consequences of its consumption.Those consequences aren't just in our past. Murphy goes beyond foundation stories to look at the legacy our love affair with alcohol has created, from binge drinking to lockout laws and from prohibition to urinating on the parliamentary carpet.So here's to Rum, for making bad decisions look like a good idea at the time.

In the post-apocalyptic city of New Angeles, killing isn't just a crime - it's entertainment. When the 'big one' finally hit the West Coast, Los Angeles was left in ruins. And when the U.S. government decided to cut the city loose, things went from bad to worse. To survive, L.A. did what it does best: It turned survival into entertainment. Now, thirty years later, the city of New Angeles is thriving once more thanks to the blood sport known as SUICIDERS - a TV series that combines the spectacle of hand-to-hand combat with elaborate, high-tech obstacles that test each competitor's ability to survive. But these competitors have an edge: They've been freakishly enhanced by drugs and technology. The results are both marvelous and monstrous, as the man called The Saint begins to rise above his fellow Suiciders. SUICIDERS is a dark, post-apocalyptic epic that tells the story of a strange, brutal world, written and illustrated by Lee Bermejo, the #1 New York Times best-selling writer/artist behind JOKER, BATMAN: NOEL, LUTHOR and BEFORE WATCHMEN: RORSCHACH.

Sebevražedný oddíl Amandy Wallerové má pod vedením Jasona Todda, alias Red Hooda, jasný úkol – zastavit příval mrtvol, které vrší korunní šašek zločinu, ulovit největšího Batmanova nepřítele a poslat Jokera nadobro pod drn. Někdejší zázračný chlapec s misí souhlasí. Nemá jinou volbu. Ale zároveň se touží pomstít zrůdě, která ho zabila. Když Joker změní pravidla hry, pro Red Hooda, jenž má po boku partu těch nejhorších padouchů na světě – včetně Harley Quinn, Fireflye a Wild Doga – je zatraceně těžké se rozhodnout, komu může věřit. Je načase zjistit, kdo skutečně tahá za nitky Operační skupiny X.
