Paper: White
Label #21-29D381B-012
Starts Jun 10 Painted cover by Tim Bradstreet. Garth Ennis / Steve Dillon / Jimmy Palmiotti. THE SCOOP: Frank Castle is back - and so are Garth Ennis, Steve Dillon and Jimmy Palmiotti! THE STORY: Hot off of last year's smash-hit series, the one and only Punisher returns to blast the dirtbags and dealers off the mean streets of New York City! Look for old friends, strangely changed enemies and lots of trademark humor and ultraviolence! But with Castle's war reinvigorated, the hapless Detective Soap finds his loyalties torn ? and his manhood tested! Yes, it's more twisted laughs and gruesome mayhem, as only this creative team can deliver! THE CREATORS SPEAK: "It's a good, down to earth, straightforward, kill-as-many-people-as-possible-in-a-short-period-of-time sort of comic," Dillon said. "Which is sort of fun." "The first five-issue storyline is definitely the same kind of wild, over-the-top, crazy stuff that you've seen in the first series," Ennis added. "The difference is that it's more of a big, epic action-movie type of story, rather than a sort of low-key crime thriller like the 12-issue storyline was." ? THE BUZZ: "Ennis' dark wit and Dillon's no-nonsense visual style are a perfect match and make for a story that is pure blood, guts and mayhem, and, above all else, a damn fine read." -IGN THE FORMAT: The debut issue of this monthly series is 32 pages, with ads. Cover price $2.99.

Starts Jun 10 Written by James Tynion IV. Art by Lisandro Estherren, Yanick Paquette. Cover by Reiko Murakami. Sometimes, nightmares walk the Earth. Every night when you sleep, the Lord of Dreams chooses the path youll follow…into a sylvan Elysium, or down the hallways of your darkest fears. And sometimes, if it is Dreams will, those nightmares escape those halls, and go out into the world. But it is not a choice he makes lightly. Today the Corinthian walks the Earth again. The most feared of all Dreams nightmares, his ravenous mouths have made him a legend among serial killers. Letting the Corinthian out among mortals is the most dangerous thing Dream could possibly do. But he has no choice—because there is another nightmare walking the Earth, one that must be hunted…and this monster is one that Dream, lord of all nightmares, did not make. Horror-comics superstar James Tynion IV has waited his whole career to pay tribute to the mythos of The Sandman, the work that made him the writer he is today—and that time has come! Designed to welcome new readers into one of the greatest worlds in DCs library, The Sandman Universe: Nightmare Country is a terrify-ing travelogue through a nation recognizable and obscene, which will show you things seen in no Sandman series ever before—with spectacular art by Lisandro Estherren (Redneck, Strange Skies Over East Berlin) and "nightmare" sequences by comics art all-stars, starting with the incredible Yanick Paquette! 32 pages, full color.
