BOOM
BRAVEST WARRIORS #27
EMPTY MAN #6 (OF 6)
ETERNAL #1

 WHY WE LOVE IT: We love giving readers smart and thrilling science fiction books, such as THE HYPERNATURALS, SIX GUN GORILLA, and our adaptation of Philip K. Dick's DO ANDROIDS DREAM OF ELECTRIC SHEEP?. We continue that tradition with ETERNAL, a story where humans can continually make clones of themselves, so death is a thing of the past. We need to know: What does a world like that look like?
WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT: William Harms (IMPALER, INFAMOUS) is crafting a gripping, sophisticated story about what happens if science completely changes the rules of life itself. This is a story where characters' ethics and loyalties are tested, for society has changed but human failings remain the same.
WHAT IT'S ABOUT: In a world of clones, the Human Liberation Army wants to free people from New Life's grasp. Their leader Gail will take the most drastic, personal measures yet to do so. Rathmann, a former homicide detective turned New Life enforcer, is on the case, and is asking tough questions. Violet, a young girl and one of the few nonhumans (Pures, they're called) left, is longing to enter the real world. But she has no idea the danger she is stepping into.

DC
ASTRO CITY #18
BATGIRL #37

 The Batgirl of Burnside is the name on everyone's lips...but she sure is acting strange since she took up residence in Gotham City's outer borough! Dangerous joyrides? Photo ops? Sequins? Either Barbara Gordon's gone off the deep end - or there's a doppelganger under that cowl!

 We can't tell you what happens in this issue. Sorry. We'll say that Jeff Parker (Aquaman! Batman '66!) wrote it, Evan Shaner (Adventures of Superman!) drew it, Jordie Bellaire (Moon Knight!) coloured it... and Flash Gordon is involved. But trust us... you don't want us to spoil what happens. (NOTE: It is 95 trillion pounds of awesome in a ten-pound space bag!)

Each time, he was unable to stop The Immortal Enemy - a monstrous force of nature. A civilisation killer. A horror that appears differently each time it arrives...and whose seemingly only purpose is to bring disorder and darkness to the world. Now, the time has come for The Immortal Enemy to return once more. But, this time, the Eternal Warrior will be ready. This
time, he has a force greater than any single warrior. This time, he has...THE VALIANT.

An entirely self-contained, new reader friendly comics event spotlighting Bloodshot, Eternal Warrior, Geomancer, and a cast of heroes and villains from across the Valiant Universe, THE VALIANT is a visionary new adventure from three of the greatest creative talents in comics today.
