New Releases by Neal Adams

In 1967, a blazingly talented young artist helped bring the strange adventures of Deadman to life—and redefined what comics could do. Now Neal Adams has reunited with this haunting hero to solve the mystery of his murder once and for all! Boston Brand was just a circus performer when an assassin cut him down in his high-flying prime. Given an eerie afterlife as the spectral superhero called Deadman, he has the power to possess the living in order to fight for justice…and find his own killer. But the conspiracy behind his death goes deeper than Deadman knows. Now, with the help of allies from this world and beyond, including the Batman, Deadman will follow the trail to its infernal source: the League of Assassins and its immortal mastermind, Ra’s al Ghul. Dive into an all-new investigation into the DC Universe’s dark side. Written and illustrated by Neal Adams (Batman), Deadman collects the entire six-issue mini-series!

Just as RaÕs al Ghul is hidden in this six-part miniseries, so is his near-demonic influence hidden and slowly revealed in this final issue! Boston BrandÕs death was no accident, but a planned and ruthless murder...orchestrated by none other than the Head of the Demon. What Deadman needs now is either deathÑor the help of the WorldÕs Greatest Detective!

In 1968 a mysterious voice gifted two teenage brothers, Hank and Don Hall, with superpowers that transformed them into the Hawk and the Dove! The superhero duo embodied the clashing political ideologies of the era, with the Hawk, ever militant, ready to jump into battling evil, and the Dove, a pacifist, refusing to raise a fist. Fighting for what’s right on different sides of the ideological spectrum, the two clean up crime on the streets of their hometown, face the threat of the Drop Outs gang, take down a group of dangerous escaped convicts, team up with the Teen Titans and attempt to save their father from the wrath of a man he once sent to prison. HAWK & DOVE: THE SILVER AGE collects SHOWCASE #75, THE HAWK AND DOVE#1-6 and TEEN TITANS #21, and features work from Steve Skeates, Steve Ditko, Gil Kane, Neal Adams and more!

Sensei is down. Deadman is heading toward Nanda Parbat. Can Ra’s al Ghul be far behind? Secrets will be revealed and horrors tested, and the reader can search for Ra’s al Ghul on the cover. He is there. The plot thickens.

From behind the scenes rises “He Who Is Always There,” Ra’s al Ghul, the very worst option before or after the death of Boston Brand. No path, no future will remain uncorrupted as long as Ra’s al Ghul remains alive. Deadman would be better off if he halted his quest before death is the best of two options.

The Spectre, Etrigan the Demon and the Phantom Stranger smell death around Deadman—and they’ve come to get a whiff! But they’re about to learn how little they know—because the secrets they seek are actually held in the mind of Deadman’s father…and those secrets lie very close to a near-death experience.

Hold the cover of DEADMAN #2 up to the light and the danger that was invisible seconds before will be revealed! Now, any lingering doubt that Deadman was deliberately murdered in cold blood, and not as a test for the Hook to join the League of Assassins, is put to rest once and for all!

“JOURNEY INTO DEATH” part one! When we last left Deadman, the true story had barely begun! Deadman’s death was unsolved, and his fate was intertwined with that of his parents and siblings. Even the Dark Night Detective couldn’t solve the mysteries of Boston Brand’s fantastic secrets! Now, Batman is back, confronting Deadman about who was really behind his death. Was Boston Brand’s assassination a test for the League of Assassins? Why does Batman think Ra’s al Ghul was involved? And why does Deadman need the help of Zatanna, Phantom Stranger, Dr. Fate and the Spectre to defend Nanda Parbat?

While busting up a crime scene, Batman is suddenly attacked by Robin, and then Commissioner Gordon and various people on the streets. Batman realizes it is actually Deadman who is possessing the bodies and attacking his former ally. Fighting off all these attacks, Batman manages to convince Deadman to stop, and soon learns that his friend was hypnotized into attacking him by the evil Sensei. Eventually, they learn that the Sensei plans to destroy Nanda Parbat. Batman and Deadman travel there and stop the League of Assassins from destroying the land.

SupermanÕs final confrontation with the army of Darkseid is at hand! What will be the fate of the three new Supermen, and what is the secret of Krypton?!

Superman and the New Gods launch their plan to free the young boy and his dog from his Apokolips prison, but DarkseidÕs ultimate prize is within sight, and the only person standing in his way isÉLex Luthor?!

Fry, Superman, fry! The battle between Kalibak and Superman rages on as the denizens of Apokolips cheer. And Darkseid''s homeworld unleashes a weapon that will permanently transmute the terran solar system!

From the visionary mind of living comics legend Neal Adams comes Blood! The deceptively simple-minded Lionel has been kidnapped and brutalized by a criminal syndicate with ties to the medieval Knights Templar. His only hope is his "friend" Jorge Maslow--the one-man army otherwise known as Blood! Flowing through Blood''s veins is an arcane, unfathomable power whose origins stretch back to the very dawn of human history. An ancient struggle will come to a head in single fiery night of war! Collecting Neal Adams'' original stories from Dark Horse Presents, this book features an incredible animated 3D lenticular cover.

As Superman tries to find answers as to why Darkseid''s son, Kalibak, has kidnapped a young Middle-Eastern boy and his dog, three other Kryptonians have come to watch over Earth. Meanwhile, the planet Nibiru, which became New Krypton for the liberated Kandorians, is preparing to host Darkseid as he attempts to subjugate their world to make it his New Apokolips.

The terror of Apokolips continues as the combined might of Kal-El and the warriors from Kandor fight back against Darkseid''s legions!

From legendary writer/artist Neal Adams comes a threat so epic it will take more than one Man of Steel to handle it in this new 6-issue miniseries! As Darkseid and the hordes of Apokolips lay waste to the world, even Superman is overwhelmed-but not for long, as three heroes from the miniaturized city of Kandor emerge at full size, armed with all the vast powers of Kal-El, ready to become the new Supermen! This battle of titans also features the machinations of Lex Luthor, plus fan favorites Jimmy Olsen and Lois Lane aiding in the fight for Truth, Justice and the American Way.

Batman must kill or be killed! The threat is real and can''t be stopped by man or hero. To combat it, Batman must bring time itself to a standstill so that he can embark on an odyssey of self-discovery to a place unknown to mankind!

The first part of Neal Adams''s Batman epic comes to a dramatic conclusion as Batman, Deadman and The Joker-working together and against each other-break into Arkham Asylum and confront the doctors who control the most heinous criminals. But does some other powerful individual control these monsters? Is it the Sensei, the deadliest martial artist in the word and leader of the League of Assassins? Or is it Ra''s al Ghul, the greatest opponent Batman has ever faced? And is The Dark Knight willing to let Talia die to bring this monstrous clash to an end?

Batman''s odyssey has brought him to the underworld, where the League of Assassins has been firmly established for decades! The League is liquidating its enemies to make way for the Sensei to take over his father''s kingdom, and after that, the world itself. But if Batman can''t conquer his inner demons and learn to save lives by taking them, he may forfeit the war to the League!

The fourth chapter of Neal Adams''s epic Batman tale sees Bruce Wayne confronted with a terrible moment that harks back to his origin. Will this shocking episode derail Batman from his odyssey? Guest-starring Aquaman, Deadman, Talia and Man-Bat!

Faced with the deaths of Talia, himself and everything Bruce Wayne holds dear, Bruce and his new friends Bat Man and Primus have put life on hold to make their way through the strangest place in Earth: the underworld.

Has Batman learned the lesson he was destined to learn? The Sensei, a warrior of the highest caliber, can be defeated only by an act Batman swore he would never commit. Can Bruce Wayne, the Dark Knight Detective, put aside his morality for the sake of his city, his world, and the people closest to him?

Ra''s al Ghul''s underworld has taken Batman to the brink of cold-blooded murderÜand now beyond. Will Batman step up to the hard decisions? And what if Robin gets in the way?

Batman has sidestepped death time and time again, but that all ends in this issue with the gut-wrenching reality of the Underworld. It''s a surrealÜyet all too realÜvoyage into a personal hell of his own. Batman will never be the same.

What did Batman expect to find on his Odyssey to the Underworld? So far it''s been nothing but tragedy. Once the Dark Knight took the first step, the world he knew was gone. Will Batman become the thing he most loathes: a murderer?

Batman knows his odyssey must happen soon before he loses himself, but Deadman invades The Dark Knight''s world and only sees the inevitable crash and burn of his old friend. Should Deadman add to Batman''s _crash"-or hold off and give the Caped Crusader a few last moments of relative peace? This is Deadman we''re talking about-of course he''s going to step in! Oh, and there''s one more thorn in Batman''s side-in this issue, The Joker arrives!

Neal Adams''s ODYSSEY ramps up as The Caped Crusader slowly but surely loses control. A dark presence lurking in the background begins pulling Bruce''s stringsÛwho is responsible? This second chapter is a tour de force of action as the greatest crime fighter on Earth displays his vicious combat skills.
