The superstar team of writer Matt Fraction and artist Jorge Jimenez relaunch Batman for the current era, with a fresh take on the Caped Crusader and a perfect jumping-on point for fans! It s a new day in Gotham! For only the fourth time, DC is relaunching its flagship Batman series starting with issue #1 and this collection includes the first six issues of the must-read, superhero-forward take from writer Matt Fraction and artist Jorge Jimenez. This new era celebrates the Caped Crusader in every iteration of his 85-plus year history and promises something for every Batman fan, including a new blue-and-grey costume, a new Batmobile, and new villains and allies along with plenty of classic ones too. Similar to Fraction s beloved and influential run on Marvel s Hawkeye, this Batman series features self-contained stories that progressively build out a larger narrative. Each installment is a new adventure and a new challenge for Fraction and Jimenez to put in front of the Caped Crusader, as they show all of the reasons why Batman is the coolest character in comic books. This volume collects Batman #1-6.

The first chapter of Matt Fraction and Salvador Larocca's acclaimed IRON MAN run! Tony Stark - billionaire industrialist, Invincible Iron Man and now director of S.H.I.E.L.D. - faces the most overwhelming challenge of his life. Ezekiel Stane - the son of Tony's late business rival and archenemy Obadiah Stane - has set his sights, his genius and his considerable fortune on the task of destroying the Stark legacy. What's worse, Ezekiel has obtained Iron Man technology, and he's every bit Tony's equal - except younger, faster, smarter... and immeasurably evil! Then, following the Skrulls' Secret Invasion, Tony's entire life has been torn apart. What could make Iron Man the world's most wanted? Tony's failing health has made the armour too complicated to pilot, and he has Maria Hill on his - not to mention his entire rogues' gallery, all after the billion-dollar bounty on his head! And things only get worse from there! Collecting: Invincible Iron Man (2008) 1-1
