New Releases by Mark Millar

The Parliament of Trees made him the master of all plants. The Parliament of Stones gave him control of the earth on which they grow. And the Parliament of Waves put the waters of the world at his command. With all of this power flowing through his veins, the elemental being known as the Swamp Thing has become like unto a god. And, just like many of the gods that preceded him, he has grown wrathful in his judgment of mankind’s sins. Now, as he undergoes a final, terrifying trial in the purifying fire of the Parliament of Flames, the creature who was once Alec Holland holds the future of humanity in his cold, mossy hands. And while the Swamp Thing’s ties to his human side continue to weaken, dark forces are maneuvering to claim his power for their own. In the end, enemies and allies alike-including his estranged wife Abby and the master magician John Constantine-must make a last-ditch appeal to the man within the monster. If they fail, the choice is stark: kill the Swamp Thing before he completes his trial, or perish along with the rest of Homo sapiens. In SWAMP THING: TRIAL BY FIRE, comics superstar Mark Millar concludes his triumphant run on the legendary VERTIGO series with a powerhouse performance illuminated by art from Phil Hester, Kim DeMulder and Curt Swan. Collects issues #161-171.

In this acclaimed collaboration, iconic comic book creators Grant Morrison (MULTIVERSITY) and Mark Millar (THE AUTHORITY) conspire to put the Scarlet Speedster through the most grueling and life-changing challenges they can conjure up! First, the Flash must battle against every hero’s nightmare-a sentient super-costume that consumes the life force of anyone who wears it. Then, the Fastest Man Alive must find a way to counter his old foe the Mirror Master before everyone he cares about is reverse-aged out of existence. After that, Wally West barely has time to breathe before he’s forced to enter a race spanning all of time and space against an unbeatable opponent-with the loser’s world to be erased from existence! Of course, with friends like Jay Garrick, Max Mercury, and Jesse Quick by his side, the Keystone Comet can face down nearly any threat imaginable-but not even an entire team of speedsters can outrun death itself. And when the Black Flash comes for him, Wally will have to go deeper into the Speed Force than he’s ever dared-or lose everything he holds dear! Morrison and Millar are joined by artists Paul Ryan, John Nyberg, Ron Wagner, Pop Mhan and many more for a celebrated run with comics’ most celebrated runner in THE FLASH BY GRANT MORRISON & MARK MILLAR-collecting THE FLASH #130-141, GREEN LANTERN #96 and GREEN ARROW #130.

As the Swamp Thing tries to get on with his life, a mysterious woman named Anna hopes to get on with her death. A writer by trade, Anna longs to drown her sorrows in a watery grave. But her brilliant stories won’t let her rest until she finishes telling them-and the Swamp Thing is their missing masterpiece. Now the avatar of the Green must ride its currents into a series of strange new worlds-warped realities that exist nowhere except in Anna’s troubled mind: a New Orleans where the dead walk and black magic rules; an America that lost World War II and is reborn as a republic of horror; and a swamp where a former superhero learns a terrible secret. Waiting at the end of this river of stories is a force that could drown the Swamp Thing-and the world-in a final flood of darkness. Comics superstar Mark Millar and a parliament of comics’ finest artists-including Phil Hester, Kim DeMulder, Chris Weston, Jill Thompson and Phil Jimenez-present SWAMP THING: DARKER GENESIS, a tour de force of imaginative power collecting issues #151-160 of the original VERTIGO series.

The legend of Swamp Thing continues here! He was an elemental embodiment of the world’s plants-the spirit of all her marshes, bogs and fens. He had a wonderful daughter and a loving wife, and the power and beauty of nature filled his life. He was the Swamp Thing. He was a god. He was happy. And then he woke up. Without warning, Doctor Alec Holland finds himself thousands of miles from the Louisiana swamp that he thought was his home. He has a life he doesn’t remember and a human body he thought he had lost forever. His time as the Swamp Thing is nothing but a disappearing dream, a hallucination, a bad trip. But the monster rampaging through the bayou he left behind is all too real. So is the beautiful woman who loved him, the danger she now faces and the terrible vengeance of the power he once served-the gods of field and forest known as the Parliament of Trees. Comics legends Grant Morrison (THE MULTIVERSITY) and Mark Millar (Kick-Ass) team with artist Phil Hester (GREEN ARROW) to dig deep into the Swamp Thing mythos in SWAMP THING: THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL, collecting issues #140-150 of the original VERTIGO series.

Imagine a reality where the world’s most powerful super-being does not grow up in Smallville, Kansas - or even America, for that matter…: RED SON is a vivid tale of Cold War paranoia, that reveals how the ship carrying the infant who would later be known as Superman lands in the midst of the 1950s Soviet Union. Raised on a collective, the infant grows up and becomes a symbol to the Soviet people, and the world changes drastically from what we know - bringing Superman into conflict with Batman, Lex Luthor and many others. From the mind of Mark Millar, the best-selling writer of THE AUTHORITY and Wanted, comes this strangely different take on the Superman mythos. Featuring art by Dave Johnson, Kilian Plunkett, Andrew Robinson, and Walden Wong, with an introduction by film producer Tom DeSanto (X-Men, X2: X-Men United, Transformers), this edition also features an extensive sketch gallery by Johnson, Plunkett and Alex Ross.
