      Fans of Batman are fortunate to have Greg Rucka, the gritty author of Keeper and Finder, penning this novelization of DC's No Man's Land comic series. In 1999, a devastating 7.6 earthquake strikes Gotham City, leaving it in ruins and prompting the government to declare it a No Man's Land. The bridges are destroyed, waterways are mined, and entering the city becomes a crime. With Gotham abandoned, notorious villains from Arkham Asylum—such as Two-Face, the Penguin, the Riddler, and Poison Ivy—seize control, engaging in violent turf wars across the city. A conflicted Batman arrives to find that the chaos is only exacerbated by Lex Luthor's sinister plans for Gotham. While some may view No Man's Land as derivative, Rucka's compelling writing and the enduring appeal of Batman ensure that this story remains engaging. Collecting various issues, this narrative showcases the dark transformation of Gotham and the challenges Batman faces against a backdrop of lawlessness and villainy.

      Writer James Vance (Kings In Disguise) and artist Alexander Maleev weave the tale of Iris Shaw, the first female Crow. The Crow returns in a spectacular graphic novel written by James Vance (Kings in Disguise) and illustrated by Alexander Maleev. Flesh & Blood is a saga of violent retribution set against the spectacular background of the western mountains in which Iris Shaw, a federal conservation officer, dies when her office is dynamited by a ragged band of right-wing terrorists. Her tortured soul cannot rest, because not only was she unjustly murdered -- at the time of her death, she was an expectant mother. Raised from her coffin by the crow who answers her thirst for justice, Iris exacts a terrible vengeance on the leader and his gang.

O'Barr collaborated with artist Alexander Maleev and writer John Wagner (Judge Dredd) for this chilling story about a farmer who is killed, along with his family, by a marauding band of ex-Confederate soldiers, only to be resurrected by the crow more than 100 years later to exact his vengeance.
