BLACK HOOD SEASON 2 #1

CVR B VAR WALSH

(W) Duane Swierczynski (A) Greg Scott (CA) Michael Walsh

The acclaimed crime comic returns with an all-new #1 issue-a perfect jumping-on point for new readers. "The Nobody Murders, Part 1":  The Black Hood is no more. Sure, there are rumors that the former cop known as Greg Hettinger is still out there, blending in with the homeless population-and emerging only to stop a violent attack before vanishing again. But the ruthless assassin known as The Nobody considers the Black Hood a loose end, and he's willing to slaughter dozens to flush him out. How high must the body count rise before Greg steps forward to face an opponent he can't possibly beat?  Dive into the book UPROXX calls "Highly recommended" and THE MIAMI HERALD regards as "Noir fiction fans will surely dig," as a new season of THE BLACK HOOD kicks off from the killer creative team of Swierczynski and Scott! Script: Duane Swierczynski  Art: Greg Scott  CVR A Reg: Greg Smallwood ,CVR B Var: Michael Walsh

BLACK PANTHER EPIC COLLECTION TP PANTHERS RAGE

(W) Don McGregor (A) Various (CA) Gil Kane

In the 1960s, Stan Lee and Jack Kirby created an unprecedented string of classic comic-book heroes. But quite possibly the most iconic of them all was the high-tech king of Wakanda, the Black Panther! When the Panther began his own solo series, Don McGregor strove to meet Lee and Kirby's high standard with "Panther's Rage" - an epic adventure so huge it ranged across the savannah, into the deepest jungles and up snow-topped mountains. Over its course, McGregor would explore and expand the life and culture of the Wakandans and their African kingdom in compelling detail. Then, he sent the Black Panther into very different but still dangerous territory - the American South - seeking justice for a murder connected to the Klan and the Soul Strangler! Collecting FANTASTIC FOUR (1961) #52-53 and JUNGLE ACTION (1972) #6-24. Rated T
