In the 40-years since its debut, Swamp Thing has been graced with some of the best writers in comics from Len Wein to Alan Moore and now, as part of the DC Comics—The New 52, 'American Vampire' scribe Scott Snyder brings his talents to an all new Swamp Thing series set in the DC Universe.

Following the events of 'Brightest Day,' Alec Holland has his life back...but the 'Green' has plans for it. A monstrous evil is rising in the desert, and it'll take a monster of another kind to defend life as we know it!

This hardcover collection includes issues 1-7 of the monthly series.

While trafficking in a bestselling sub-genre, AMERICAN VAMPIRE introduces a new strain of vampire — a more muscular and vicious species, born of the American West.

It's Las Vegas circa 1935, and Skinner Sweet and our gal Pearl are about to learn the hard way that the bloodsuckers in Hollywood were nothing compared to what awaits them in Sin City.

In just a few short years, young police Chief Cash McCogan has watched his native city of Las Vegas go from cow-town to wild, glittering boomtown. And when the bodies of prominent businessmen start showing up drained of blood, Chief McCogan finds himself facing a threat much darker and deadlier than anything he could have imagined . . . and the only sure bet in town is that Skinner and Pearl are right in the thick of it.

A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

Batman stands today as one of the most recognizable characters in pop culture, and along with the Batcave and the Batmobile, Gotham City itself stands as one of the most identifiable aspects of Batman lore. This trade explores not only the history of the city but its dark secrets and deadly denizens as well, giving readers a whole scale look at world of Batman.

Writer Scott Snyder (AMERICAN VAMPIRE) teams with Kyle Higgins to pen the story, which features various members of the Batman family uniting to solve a mystery that travels through multiple eras of Gotham City.

Mentre nell'Oceano Pacifico la Seconda Guerra Mondiale infuria sempre più. Henry Preston e sua moglie Pearl Jones abbandonano la loro vita tranquilla per unirsi a una missione segreta su una sperduta isola giapponese, alla ricerca di una nuova razza di vampiri. Ma cosa ha a che fare Skinner Sweet con tutto questo?

Siamo negli anni '40 e il nostro mondo è in guerra. In un castello dell'Europa Orientale, un gruppo di vampiri sta unendo le forze con lo scopo di creare un Reich esclusivamente per loro. Ora i vampiri e i cacciatori di vampiri, senza distinzioni, sono sottoposti a un fuoco incrociato - e Skinner Sweet, il primo vampiro americano, è in trincea. Sia lui che un esercito clandestino composto dai suoi nemici più letali devono darsi da fare per sconfiggere l'alleanza Asse/non morti. Perché all'ombra della svastica, anche i vampiri americani possono bruciare...

Gotham City è notoriamente considerata la città di Batman. Oscura quanto il suo difensore mascherato, tetra, crudele e labirintica, sembra adattarsi, prosciugandolo, all'animo di chi la abita, che egli sia un eroe, un comune cittadino o un criminale. E se Bruce Wayne vive da sempre un rapporto simbiotico con la metropoli che l'ha consacrato a leggenda immortale, cosa può accadere quando un altro vigilante indossa il manto del Crociato Incappucciato spinto dalle circostanze? Gotham City creerà per lui, implacabilmente, una nuova letale nemesi e un susseguirsi di battaglie all'ultimo respiro. Questa è la dolorosa storia di Dick Grayson nella sua sfida più difficile alla città che, nonostante tutto, ha giurato di proteggere.

Presente e passato tornano a mescolarsi sulle strade di Gotham City con esiti imprevedibili. 'Il ritorno di Bruce Wayne', miniserie firmata da Grant Morrison, aveva già mostrato al pubblico alcuni inquietanti risvolti esoterici legati alla città di Batman, la quale sembra celare segreti inconfessabili. Ma cosa succederebbe se, nell'indagare su alcuni crimini in apparenza inspiegabili, Dick Grayson scoprisse che la storia di Gotham è stata macchiata da segreti sanguinosi e alleanze in apparenza impossibili? 'I cancelli di Gotham' rappresenta un ulteriore viaggio tortuoso nel cuore di una metropoli che non cessa mai di stupire e spaventare.

Territorio meridionale del Nuovo Messico, 1871. Prima di diventare l'uomo più ricercato del West, prima di diventare il nuovo vampiro americano, Skinner Sweet era un soldato dell'esercito statunitense'. Ma era già letale e pericoloso come il mostro in cui si sarebbe trasformato. Il suo desiderio di vincere Ia guerra contro le tribù indiane locali si scontra con l'orrore e da lungo tempo sepolto che i pellerossa si preparano a riportare in vita. Un orrore che cambierà il corso della storia degli uomini e dei vampiri per sempre... Glandale, California, 1964. Con il giubbotto di pelle nera e l'atteggiamento da duro, Travis Kidd sembra uno dei tanti giovani ribelli del periodo. Ma è un ribelle con uno scopo: uccidere tutti i vampiri d'America finché non troverà quello che ha massacrato la sua famiglia.
