Superman has received a signal from distant space. An old friend is in deep trouble, and only the Man of Steel can help him. By the time Superman and his son get there, though, the alien who sent the signal is nowhere to be found, and his people appear to be enthralled by a shamanistic storyteller who warns of an ancient grudge with the malevolent Shadowbreed. This leaves Clark and Jonathan Kent to ponder just who sent them the distress message, but before they can find the answer, they’ll discover that an ancient grudge still has very current consequences. Kicking off a new story line, this issue pairs Phillip Kennedy Johnson with his Future State: Superman: House of El collaborator, artist Scott Godlewski! Meanwhile, in the “Tales of Metropolis” backup story it’s...the return of Ambush Bug? Say it ain’t so!
The character who puts the ÒcomicÓ back in comic books! The first issue, ÒHa, Ha, Ha, Ha, Wipe Out!,Ó features: Ambush BugÕs new partner, Cheeks, the Toy Wonder; a Cabbage Patch doll; Republicans; the Ambush Bug Data Sheet; and (Jane Fonda, step aside) Ambush BugÕs Physical Fitness Workout Book!
Brought to trial, Ambush Bug throws himself on the mercy of the court...and misses! Will the crazy creative duo of Keith Giffen and Robert Loren Fleming ever give up?! Not until you’ve laughed yourself silly! And what does Two-Face have to do with this issue? What...or who...does he represent?
A classic work of American literature that has not stopped changing minds and lives since it burst onto the literary scene, The Things They Carried is a ground-breaking meditation on war, memory, imagination, and the redemptive power of storytelling. The Things They Carried depicts the men of Alpha Company: Jimmy Cross, Henry Dobbins, Rat Kiley, Mitchell Sanders, Norman Bowker, Kiowa, and the character Tim O’Brien, who has survived his tour in Vietnam to become a father and writer at the age of forty-three. Taught everywhere—from high school classrooms to graduate seminars in creative writing—it has become required reading for any American and continues to challenge readers in their perceptions of fact and fiction, war and peace, courage and fear and longing. The Things They Carried won France's prestigious Prix du Meilleur Livre Etranger and the Chicago Tribune Heartland Prize; it was also a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Critics Circle Award.
