Written by SIMON SPURRIER
Art by OTTO SCHMIDT
Lettering by GABRIELE DOWNIE
Hammering fans weekly with Harley Quinn stories in the vein of Batman: Black & White, the eleventh chapter of Harley Quinn: Black + White + Red has arrived! Simon Spurrier (John Constantine: Hellblazer) writes and Otto Schmidt (Green Arrow) illustrates this eleventh of the fourteen-chapter anthology series, now available on participating digital platforms, including readdc.com, Comixology, Amazon Kindle, Apple Books, and more!
In Spurrier and Schmidt’s Harley Quinn story, the concept is simple: kill the Batman. And the Flash. And Wonder Woman. And Superman. At least, hypothetically. And hypotheticals are all Harley Quinn’s got as she regales a bar full of Gotham’s scummiest scumbags on how she would take down the Justice League, but her solutions are anything but simple…
Harley Quinn Black + White + Red Chapter Eleven is by Simon Spurrier and Otto Schmidt, lettered by Gabriela Downie.

Creators: Chelsea Cain, Lie Miternique
Writer: Chelsea Cain
Artist: Elise McCall
Letterer: Joe Caramagna
Covers: Lia Miternique
Format: 32 pages
Price: $3.99
New comics series from New York Times best-selling author Chelsea Cain!
Super spy Nora Freud (no relation) has a plum assignment. She's stationed on a tropical island. Her mission? Keep an eye on things. Her problem? The island is on the lip of the Bermuda Triangle, where anything can happen. Her other problem? This particular island is a den of intrigue, populated by spies, tourists, and evil villains set on global domination.
Chelsea Cain, Lia Miternique, Elise McCall, Rachelle Rosenberg, and Joe Caramanga welcome you to Spy Island, the sensational new action miniseries from Dark Horse Comics.
A valentine to Bermuda Triangle myths and TV shows like Fantasy Island and Tales of the Gold Monkey, told through the lens of a kick-ass feminist super agent hero named Nora Freud (no relation), Spy Island takes place on a remote tropical island where anything can happen.
The island is a den of intrigue, where super spies and super villains mix at parties, and every day brings new dangers (krakens, ghost pirates, dimensional portals), new romances, and new guest stars that disembark from the cruise ship that docks once a week.
Spy Island is a natural successor to Cain’s Eisner-nominated Marvel comic book, Mockingbird.
“Both Spy Island and Mockingbird are about strong female protagonists who are good at their jobs and don’t suffer fools,” Cain explains.
Chelsea Cain’s New York Times best-selling thrillers have been translated into 30 languages and adapted for television. Spy Island is produced by The Ministry of Trouble

Hellblazer: Rise and Fall #1 (of 3)
When a nation is steeped in terror and the irredeemable 1% are dropping like flies ... will John Constantine lift a finger?
If so, which finger?
In Hellblazer: Rise and Fall, a new three-issue mini-series by Tom Taylor and Darick Robertson launching this September, a billionaire mysteriously falls out of the sky and is gruesomely skewered on a church spire. Even stranger, they have angel wings attached to their back. More bodies soon follow, raining death and causing widespread panic. Detective Aisha Bukhari is stumped by the phenomenon, until she's visited by her childhood friend, occult investigator John Constantine.
“This is a very twisted book,” says Tom Taylor. “But, I actually want to give people exactly the John they’ve seen before. I want to write the bloke who steps out of the shadows with the smirk, the lit cigarette and all the answers. I want a story of shocks and sadness and triumph in the face of utter horror.”
DC’s Hellblazer soon discovers a link between the falling elite and a shocking moment in his and Aisha’s misspent youth. How do these killings tie to the first act of magic ever committed by John Constantine? How does this involve Heaven and Hell? Thirty years later, Constantine’s no stranger to supernatural threats and hard-pressed to consider stopping any monster who haunts a nation by killing the most corrupt among its citizens.
“I love writing characters who speak truth to power,” continues Taylor, “John doesn’t just speak truth to power, he tears power a new one any chance he gets. He’s also not your standard perfect hero. He makes a lot of mistakes and people in his orbit get hurt. But there’s a beautiful heart beating in the bastard…there’s something very cathartic about class warfare where the upper class doesn’t win every damn battle.”
Even if this mess is kind of John's fault, will Constantine be happy to let a few more rich bastards fall from the sky, like a vindictive Robin Hood? Does John have any interest in stopping the 1% from…trickling down?
Hellblazer: Rise and Fall, a three-part 48-page Prestige Plus format (approx. 8.5" x 10.875") mini-series written by the bestselling Tom Taylor (DCeased, Injustice: Gods Among Us, Suicide Squad) with art and cover by master storyteller Darick Robertson (Transmetropolitan, The Boys), debuts September 2020.
All three issues of Hellblazer: Rise and Fall will carry DC’s Black Label content descriptor (Ages 17+) and will retail for $6.99.

Coming up in Strange Adventures #5 on September 8, Mr. Terrific is back on Earth, and he's making things hot for Adam Strange—but he also might get a little burned himself! The conflict is out in the open now, and the court of public opinion doesn't play fair.
Mr. Terrific was picked to investigate the accusations against Adam Strange because he was the most impartial member of the Justice League-but can even he keep all of this from getting personal?
On Mr. Terrific, in a review of Strange Adventures #4 CBR says “Strange Adventures has emphasized how cool and effective Mister Terrific is, never seeming out of control of any situation and showing exactly why he belongs among the best heroes of the Justice Society” while AiPT says Mr. Terrific is “an impressive character in this issue and the series…he continues to show a sense of courage and purpose that’s unrivaled.”
Plus, as we witness more of Adam's adventures in outer space, will his version of events jibe with the facts, or will they continue to drift further apart? Find out in the series everyone is talking about by one of the most acclaimed creative teams in comics!

Praise for Teen Titans: Beast Boy
“Picolo’s art is crisp and angular… [Teen Titans: Beast Boy] pairs well with Garcia and Picolo’s Teen Titans: Raven. — School Library Journal
Praise for Teen Titans: Raven:

Hedra one-shot 2nd Ptg
Jesse Lonergan’s Hedra one-shot caused a stir with fans with its distinctive and unique take on sequential storytelling and is being rushed back to print in order to keep up with growing demand.
This breathtaking, boundary-pushing comic distills echoes of 2001, Flash Gordon, Chris Ware, and Moebius, into a sweeping story about a lone astronaut who flees a world ravaged by nuclear war in search of life. What she finds is beyond all explanation.
Ice Cream Man #20 2nd Ptg

Each installment features its own cast of strange characters, dealing with their own special sundae of suffering. And on the periphery of all of them, like the twinkly music of his colorful truck, is the Ice Cream Man—a weaver of stories, a purveyor of sweet treats. Friend. Foe. God. Demon. The man who, with a snap of his fingers—lickety split!—can change the course of your life forever.

Inkblot #1
Third-generation comic artist Emma Kubert partners with up-and-coming writer Rusty Gladd to
deliver the epic high-fantasy adventure, Inkblot. The new ongoing series will launch from Image Comics this September.
Kubert is known most recently for contributions as a penciler, inker, and colorist for DC Entertainment’s DC Super Hero Girls and Teen Titans Go! She also drew layouts for The New York Times bestselling young adult graphic novel Raven by Kami Garcia and Gabriel Picolo.
Inkblot follows a powerful sorceress attempting to correct her greatest mistake—the creation of a magical cat that can travel through time, space, and reality. The cat threatens to unravel the fabric of the universe, doesn’t care, and just won’t listen!
"I’ve been working on Inkblot since I was a student at the Kubert school (about four years in the making). Growing up, I always thought comics were all about masculine super men, which wasn’t quite relatable, so I turned to the world of fantasy, like Harry Potter, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” said Kubert. “I loved the fantasy genre so much that I knew one day, I’d have to forge a world of my own. The creation of Inkblot was an extremely collaborative effort between Rusty and I. We both work in the same studio, talking about plots, checking each other’s work, and making sure everything fits seamlessly together. We each use our strengths to create our magically fun comic and epic fantasy world!"
Gladd added: “Expect the fabric of the universe to be held in judgement by a cat—a cat which can conjure any reality and travel through time, but is nevertheless a cat. Emma and I work as a team to put each stitch into the tapestry of Inkblot. Readers can expect the cat to behave erratically, to accomplish the absurd, and to be just as vindictive as it is cute and cuddly. It will lead others on adventures, save those in peril, and play with its food.”

Cover by Adam Hughes
KELLY THOMPSON. BLACK WIDOW. ‘NUFF SAID!
Best-selling, Eisner–nominated writer Kelly Thompson (CAPTAIN MARVEL, STAR) and rising star artist Elena Casagrande (Catwoman) launch a new BLACK WIDOW series that changes everything! Natasha Romanoff has been a spy almost as long as she’s been alive. And she’s never stopped running, whether she was working for the good guys…or the bad. But Natasha’s world is about to be upended.
“It’s a bold new vision for Black Widow and one I am really hoping people can get excited about,” Thompson told Marvel.com earlier this year. “Our first arc has some of the stuff you would expect in a Black Widow book, but I think twisted in a new way that’s interesting – and where she ends up at the end of this highly personal and life changing story is ALSO interesting!”
Drawn by rising star artist Elena Casagrande (Catwoman), BLACK WIDOW #1 will feature a deadly mystery that only the Marvel Universe’s greatest spy can solve.
Beyond San Francisco’s Golden Gate, Natasha’s entire world will be upended as she finds herself up against some of her most formidable villains. But what happens when they’ve found a way to take her out – even more permanent than death? Readers can expect all the intrigue and heart-pounding exploits that Natasha Ramonoff is known for as well as appearances by characters like Red Guardian and Yelena Belova! With this new series, 2020 will be Black Widow’s greatest adventure yet!
"I think Black Widow is an incredibly rich character in that she works well in a lot of different genres, but that can also make her a little tricky – if you try to do too much with her instead of committing to a clear vision I think you can run into trouble,” Thompson told IGN. I’m very interested in the duality of Natasha… so look for that to be a recurring theme in this first arc as she struggles against that and leans into it. We have some high profile guest stars (and of course some impressive villains) but this story has to stand on its own for a lot of reasons that will become clear immediately in issue one… which starts off feeling like a classic Natasha story and then quickly becomes quite unlike any story we’ve ever seen for her before."
“Kelly Thompson is one of my favorite writers. She really knows how to get to the core of what a character is,” says Associate Editor Sarah Brunstad in the BLACK WIDOW Launch Trailer. “This new series asks the question: What would happen if some of Black Widow’s greatest enemies come together and figure out how to put her out of commission for good?”
“Natasha’s fought so many different villains over the years but she’s never had that one definitive villain in her life but now we’re bringing her past back to haunt her so to speak with the Red Guardian,” CB Cebulski adds. “What Kelly Thompson is doing, pulling together all these amazing elements of Black Widow’s past to bring her in the future makes it a must-read comic of 2020.”

A thrilling new adventure for the Tenth Doctor (as played by fan-favorite David Tennant) that sees the shocking return of his deadliest enemies: the Daleks! But things aren't what they seem - time is all wrong, and something is coming that terrifies even the Daleks... The first of two oversized issues kicking off the BBC's highly anticipated multi-platform Doctor Who epic, Time Lord Victorious!
Titan’s Doctor Who: Time Lord Victorious #1 comic is part one of a special two-part Tenth Doctor adventure that sees the Doctor’s deadliest enemy, the Daleks, make their Titan Comics debut.
When the Doctor faces his ancient foes once again, it soon becomes clear that things aren't what they seem – time is all wrong and something is coming that terrifies even the Daleks.
Jake Devine, Editor, Titan’s Doctor Who Comics, says: “Titan’s comic story is quite unique, as it features the Tenth Doctor as seen in the recent Thirteenth Doctor comic series, so he's not reached his so-called victory over time yet. But what has been fun to explore is the Doctor getting a glimpse of what's to come and foreshadowing his own dark turn.”
Time Lord Victorious #1 is written by Eisner-nominated Jody Houser (Stranger Things, Star Wars, Spider-Man) with art by Roberta Ingranata (Witchblade).
The comic debuts with five covers for fans to collect: an official Time Lord Victorious iconic by artist Lee Binding; art covers by Andie Tong (TEKKEN), Priscilla Petraites (Rat Queens), a Dalek metallic ink version by Hendry Prasetya (Green Lantern) and a Dalek blue line sketch cover.
Time Lord Victorious is BBC Studios’ brand new multi-platform Doctor Who story told across audio, novels, comics, vinyl, digital, immersive theatre, escape rooms, and games. The adventure will tell a new and untold story, set within the Dark Times at the start of the universe, when even the Eternals were young. Following several Doctors across space and time as they defend their home planet from a terrible race, this is a story like no other.
Time Lord Victorious products will be available from the BBC Shop and Amazon in the US and Forbidden Planet and Amazon in UK. Further information about Time Lord Victorious can be found on DoctorWho.TV.

Her destiny—and the truth about her imperious rulers—lies somewhere far beyond the borders of her shantytown.
