New Releases by Mariko Tamaki

It’s the landmark, oversize issue Detective Comics #1050, and some of the biggest names in comics are here to celebrate the Dark Knight! First up in “The Tower” part four, the villainous force keeping Arkham Tower’s patients sedated is at last revealed-and this villain’s return is guaranteed to catch you by surprise! It’s the dramatic conclusion to act one of Mariko Tamaki’s Arkham Tower epic, brought to life by the legendary Ivan Reis! Then, in “House of Gotham” part four, Matthew Rosenberg and Fernando Blanco take us into the seedy underbelly of Gotham’s criminal elite through the lens of the original Robin (Dick Grayson), and reveal what it takes for a young man to survive amongst the deadliest killers in the DCU. It’s a tour de force of Gotham’s vilest villains! Last but not least, making his grand return to the DCU, writer Mark Waid teams with Detective Comics uber-artist Dan Mora to bring you the start of a brand-new day for Batman…and Superman? It’s the world’s finest collaboration that you’ll need to read to believe!

“The Tower” part two! The mysteries of Dr. Wear begin to unfold as a new doctor named Frow joins the staff of Arkham Tower. The Bat-Family tries to figure out the best way to infiltrate the facility, but someone may have gotten the drop on them…someone not unfamiliar with psychiatric facilities…one Dr. Harleen Quinzel, better known to you dear readers as Harley Quinn! Backup: “House of Gotham” part two! A boy’s parents were killed by The Joker, and he fell through the cracks of the system. Instead of being sent to a facility that could care for him and his trauma, he was sent to Arkham Asylum! Will the villains inside eat him alive or show him how to survive in a city ruthlessly overseen by Batman??

“The Tower” begins! The 12-part weekly Detective Comics event starts here. Arkham Asylum has fallen, and in its place, Arkham Tower has risen in the heart of the city, a pitch made by the mysterious Dr. Wear. Backup: “House of Gotham” begins! For a long time two houses have overlooked Gotham City, beckoning its broken: Wayne Manor and Arkham Asylum.

RISKANTES BÜNDNIS Auf dem internationalen Schwarzmarkt ist eine brandgefährliche neue Technologie gelandet, mit der sich die Gedanken von Menschen manipulieren und lenken lassen. Um zu verhindern, dass sie in die Hände mörderischer Despoten fällt und als Waffe missbraucht wird, ist Wonder Woman gezwungen, mit dem ehemaligen Superkriminellen und ihrem langjährigen Feind Maxwell Lord zusammenzuarbeiten. Der gibt sich geläutert und behauptet, dem Verbrechen abgeschworen zu haben – doch kann Wonder Woman ihm wirklich trauen? Ihre Suche führt beide um die halbe Welt bis ins Land Vlatava, dessen Volk der skrupellose Count Vertigo unter seine Knute bringen will ... Das Finale der zweibändigen Saga von Eisner Award-Gewinnerin Mariko Tamaki (HARLEY QUINN: BREAKING GLASS, Ein Sommer am See), mit Zeichnungen von Steve Pugh (ANIMAL MAN) und Rafa Sandoval (CATWOMAN). ENTHÄLT: WONDER WOMAN 764-769

“We don’t choose who we save, Bruce. You treat the patient who needs your help.”-Thomas Wayne “Shadows of the Bat” begins here! In the prelude to January’s epic new Detective Comics event, Mayor Nakano has signed off on the construction of a new Arkham Tower in the heart of Gotham City, and the Bat-Family is torn. Batman has long seen Arkham as a necessary, if flawed, cog in the gears of Gotham City-a temporary solution to larger problems that in many ways mirrors his approach as Batman. Nightwing, however, who grew up watching Arkham mutate into a villain factory, believes a different approach is needed. But Bruce and Dick will need to see eye to eye on more than just Arkham Tower, as a new villain known as THE MAEGER MAN wreaks havoc in the streets and becomes the embodiment of Gotham’s broken system!

A madcap bounty hunt across the galaxy is nothing without a little ROMANCE! Crush’s search for Lobo is getting pretty demoralizing, so when a sad alien girl mistakes Crush for her blind date…why NOT go along with it? And relive every bad relationship choice Crush has ever made? And still find Lobo before her prison monitor blows her to bits?

C’est avec une bonne dose d’insouciance mais à peine cinq billets verts en poche que la jeune Harleen Quinzel débarque, seule, dans l’une des villes les plus dangereuses du monde : Gotham City. Du haut de ses quinze ans, et de pas mal de mauvaises expériences, rien ne semble pouvoir l’impressionner. Recueillie par Mama, une drag-queen au cœur d’or, Harleen apprivoise sa nouvelle vie, sa future meilleure amie Ivy et les nouvelles problématiques qui s’imposent à elle : injustice, intolérance, violence... Aussi, quand le cabaret de sa bonne fée Mama devient la nouvelle victime d’entrepreneurs sans état d’âme, Harleen change de ton. Pour autant, une question reste en suspens : mettre sa rage au service de l’action, oui, mais aux côtés de qui ? La militante pacifiste Ivy ou l’anarchiste et très énigmatique Joker ?

Two sisters come to terms with their extraordinary powers in a new middle grade fantasy from Supergirl’s Melissa Benoist and her sister, the writer Jessica Benoist, with the New York Times bestselling author, Mariko Tamaki Ellie McFadden has intuitive gifts. She can sense what other living things are feeling. She can even talk to animals! Too bad she can’t connect with her twin sister, Parker. Parker McFadden has kinetic gifts. She can cause shocks to the earth and produce heat energy that explodes from her body like fire, especially when she is angry. The sisters aren’t aware of the legacy they inherited from their mother until, on their thirteenth birthday, two mysterious relatives on the Power side whisk them off to an isolated sanctuary called Haven. Ellie immediately adapts to their new routine, but Parker has one impulse: to get back to her normal life of friends and sports, fast. Unlocking Haven’s secrets is just the beginning of what Ellie and Parker can do if they choose to work together to harness their abilities. But the sinister force that took their mother has other plans; and if the sisters’ fragile relationship succumbs to The Danger, a terrible fate may befall the people they love. This epic tale of two remarkable girls and the powers they wield is sure to appeal to fans of Chris Colfer, Rick Riordan, and Tui T. Sutherland.

From New York Times bestselling author Mariko Tamaki (Laura Dean Keeps Breaking Up with Me, Harley Quinn: Breaking Glass) and artist Yoshi Yoshitani (Zatanna and the House of Secrets) comes a story about Mandy, the daughter of super-famous superhero Starfire. Seventeen-year-old Mandy, daughter of Starfire, is NOT like her mother. Starfire is gorgeous, tall, sparkly, and a hero. Mandy is NOT a sparkly superhero. Mandy has no powers, is a kid who dyes her hair black and hates everyone but her best friend Lincoln. To Starfire, who is from another planet, Mandy seems like an alien, like some distant angry light years away moon. And it''s possible Mandy is even more distant lately, ever since she walked out on her S.A.T.s. Which, yeah, her mom doesn''t know. Everyone thinks Mandy needs to go to college and become whoever you become at college, but Mandy has other plans. Mandy''s big plan is that she''s going to move to France and...do whatever people do in France. But then everything changes when she gets partnered with Claire for a school project. Mandy likes Claire (even if she denies it, heartily and intensely). A lot. How do you become the person you''re supposed to be when you don''t know what that is? How do you become the person you''re supposed to be when the only thing you''re sure of is what you''re not? When someone from Starfire''s past arrives, Mandy must make a choice: give up before the battle has even begun, or step into the unknown and risk everything to save her mom. I am Not Starfire is a story about teenagers and/as aliens; about knowing where you come from and where you are going; and about mothers.

It’s a brand-new day for Wonder Woman! As Diana starts to pick up the pieces of her life following her battle with the Four Horsewomen, Man’s World has become more complicated to navigate than ever before.

But never fear, the “reformed” Maxwell Lord, who just so happens to be the deadbeat dad of our villain, has Diana’s back...and as the Amazon Princess is about to find out, he’s not afraid to stick a knife in!
