The mythics

"One by one we've met the young descendants--Yuko, from Japan; Parvati, from India; Amir, from Egypt; Abigail, from Germany; Miguel, from Mexico; and Neo, from Greece. Our six adolescent heroes finally join forces, combining the powers bestowed upon them by the ancient gods, to combat the entity known as Evil. Also, a new foe, Chaos incarnate is wreaking havoc all over the world. Further complicating matters: what happens when Evil's disciples, those once close to the Mythics and used to manipulate them, escape? It's another globe-trotting adventure as these new young gods struggle to save the world"--Provided by publisher.

Iron Man

The A.I.s are on the attack, and they might be in the right. Battle lines are drawn, and there will be major consequences for Tony Stark and James Rhodes!

Doomsday clock

2020
"Dr. Manhattan--a near-omnipotent being from the world of Watchmen--has taken an interest in the DC Universe. For years, he's been rewriting histories, changing heroes' fates, but why? He abandoned his own world to meddle in this one, without a hint of an explanation. Now Ozymandias, the Comedian, and a new Rorschach have all followed his trail to Gotham City. With the pieces all on the board, it's Dr. Manhattan's move. Only one force in the DC Universe could possibly stand against the man who was once Jon Osterman.

But if Superman fails, it means the fall of the United Planets"--Provided by publisher.

Superman

2020
"Superman has always led a double life. As mild-mannered Clark Kent, the Man of Steel could be just a man, with a desk job, friends, and ordinary problems. But how can he claim to stand for truth while also lying to almost everyone in his life? Clark is finally ready to go public with his secret identity, but before he can tell the world, he must consult the people closest to him: his wife, his cousin, his best pal, and even his boss. And once the world (enemies included) knows about Superman, can life ever be the same for Clark Kent? Plus the Super Sons reunite, but Damian Wayne is shocked to see how much Jon Kent has changed after an intergalactic excursion with his grandfather Jor-El!"--Provided by publisher.

The Amazing Spider-Man

2019
"J. Jonah Jameson has a new job--as a shock jock. Spidey's post-secret identity relationship with Jonah was already complicated, but this very controversial public embrace may put him over the edge! Which means it's bad timing for the Enforcers to come at him harder than ever! But Spidey isn't the only one getting attacked. Jonah himself is in deep trouble. Who, other than most of New York, would want to punish J. Jonah Jameson? Aunt May is in danger as well, and only Spider-Man can help her!"--Provided by publisher.

Captain America by Ta-Nehisi Coates

"Hydra conquered the United States, following a leader with Steve Rogers' face. The true Captain America returned, and the enemy was defeated--but the war is not over. The scars still remain, and they divide the nation. Cap has lost the trust of the government--and of the people. America is broken, and the dream may be over. One man, though, will keep fighting for what is right. Against armies of cyborg Super-Soldiers. Against shadowy figures making a play for power. Against costumed killers, psychic vampires and traitors dressed as patriots. But he is more than a man--he is an ideal. The enemies conspiring against him know that and will use it against him. Steve Rogers thought his darkest days were behind him--but they were nothing compared to what is coming. The hero will be disgraced. The legend will be tarnished. But when the Sentinel falls, the Daughters of Liberty rise!"--Provided by publisher.
