Written by Matt Wagner Art and cover by Wagner. Matt Wagner takes the Dark Knight through his sophomore season in this 6-issue miniseries! Batman has spent his first year fighting organized crime ? but nothing thus far in his early career as the Caped Crusader has prepared him for the new menace facing Gotham: super-powered villains!

REVIEW BY LONE STAR COMICS REGIONAL MANAGER AARON SETTLE: Batman and the Monster Men marks Matt Wagner's return to the world of Batman. This new mini-series written and illustrated by Wagner takes place during Batman's early days fighting crime. He is still hopeful of actually winning his war and vanquishing crime in Gotham. And he has good reason to feel that way; these are the days before the costumed criminals began to appear in Gotham. He was still fighting to bring down The Roman and had just defeated the Red Hood. But the rules begin to change as Hugo Strange conducts bizarre experiments to unlock human potential, experiments that will undoubtedly move him into conflict with Batman. The first issue moves nicely and sets up all the characters. If you're a fan of Batman, you'll love this one. Cover price $2.99.

Art and cover by Jack Kamen.

Sci-fi classics from an EC Comics great!

In Jack Kamen's first stories for Weird Science and Weird Fantasy, he and writer Al Feldstein explore the unexpected twists and turns that arise from the unintended consequences of new inventions such as matter transmitters, molecular duplicators, shrinking rays, time machines, and too-perfect robots.

Well-known for his sure hand and slick line and his chic depictions of 1950s-style glamour, Kamen delights in bringing Feldstein's wicked scripts to graphic life-but there's surprisingly sharp social and political commentary as well, with stories that foreshadow the threat of climate change and the perils of artificial intelligence.

From the creation of a miniature civilization to femmes fatale from the future to the precise prediction of the sun going nova, you'll find this collection of sci-fi shockers to be some weird science, indeed!

Story and art by Gary Gianni.

Gary Gianni created one of the strangest occult detective teams in comics history: millionaire filmmaker Lawrence St. George and his associate, Benedict, of the venerable guild of Corpus Monstrum. They navigate a peculiar and deadly world plagued by squid pirates, zombie cowboys, abominable snowmen, mustachioed skulls, and fat, flying demons. Gianni's meticulous and evocative art combined with his haunting but often hilarious writing create a horror comic unlike anything else on the stands.

NOTE: "These are (along with a few issues of Stan and Jack's Fantastic Four) my all time favorite comic book stories." - Mike Mignola"Gianni is a master-The MonsterMen leaves no doubt: the dude knows how to rock a comic book page." - Michael Chabon (The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay), from his introduction
