Batman will need all of their help--and more--to fend off this unstoppable challenger. Because both Bane and Batman know one thing: only one of them will walk away from their final confrontation unbroken... Collects stories from BATMAN #16-20, 23-24 and BATMAN ANNUAL #1.

Mamba Mentality
The first book from the basketball superstar Kobe Bryant--a lavish, deep dive inside the mind of one of the most revered athletes of all time
In the wake of his retirement from professional basketball, Kobe "The Black Mamba" Bryant has decided to share his vast knowledge and understanding of the game to take readers on an unprecedented journey to the core of the legendary "Mamba mentality." Citing an obligation and an opportunity to teach young players, hardcore fans, and devoted students of the game how to play it "the right way," The Mamba Mentality takes us inside the mind of one of the most intelligent, analytical, and creative basketball players ever.
For the first time, and in his own words, Bryant reveals his famously detailed approach and the steps he took to prepare mentally and physically to not just succeed at the game, but to excel. Readers will learn how Bryant studied an opponent, how he channeled his passion for the game, how he played through injuries. They'll also get fascinating granular detail as he breaks down specific plays and match-ups from throughout his career.
Bryant's detailed accounts are paired with stunning photographs by the Hall of Fame photographer Andrew D. Bernstein. Bernstein, long the Lakers and NBA official photographer, captured Bryant's very first NBA photo in 1996 and his last in 2016--and hundreds of thousands in between, the record of a unique, twenty-year relationship between one athlete and one photographer.
The combination of Bryant's narrative and Bernstein's photos make The Mamba Mentality an unprecedented look behind the curtain at the career of one of the world's most celebrated and fascinating athletes.
La Coma
La coma nos envuelve en una historia –inverosímil y surrealista– de dos mujeres, Ella y Ella, que parecen no tener futuro ni destino en este mundo pero que, al encontrarse más allá de esta vida y del plano terrenal, comparten una fuerza extraordinaria y transformadora.
Con escenas cuasi dramáticas, Ella nos lleva de la mano a sentir y vivir la infertilidad, la coma, la muerte, el divorcio, el cambio de residencia, la orfandad, el amor, la cárcel, los juzgados, la enfermedad, el coronavirus y la lucha por derrotarlas. Ella está inmersa en un sueno sin fin, donde no sabemos donde empieza la vida y termina la coma, donde se encuentra la muerte y empiezan las fantasías. Después de La coma, Ella reaprende a caminar a los treinta y tres anos entre piedras y por pasadizos sin fin, en libertad –y sin ella–, a regocijarse de ser una persona digna y autónoma que brinda amor a todo aquel que lo requiere aun sin pedirlo. Ella atraviesa, junto con Leonard, su esposo, momentos de lucidez y de perdición que la llevan a no comprender las emociones humanas, a perderse entre el amor y el rencor, el egoísmo y la incertidumbre. Así, a pesar de superar la línea de la muerte juntos y de emprender un cambio de residencia al casco medieval con los mellizos recién nacidos, el resultado final no es la unión, la gratitud y el amor; en su lugar Ella descubre que Leonard nunca le perdonó haber sufrido un derrame cerebral y haber truncado la vida “normal” con la que tanto sonaban.
A la par –en el mismo tiempo y espacio–, Ella también combate sus más dolorosas batallas, esas que convierten su día a día en penumbras y telaranas de pensamientos revueltos que la hacen transitar sobre terrenos ásperos, invadidos de neblina que no le permiten mostrar al mundo exterior su verdadero rostro de tristeza y de dolor. Ella carga en su mente escenas fragmentadas –y en el pecho la culpa– del accidente que la llevó a la muerte por unos minutos y que cambió toda su realidad, tornándola de tonos luminosos y claros a grises y oscuros. Sus pensamientos aún giran –igual que aquel auto en el cual derrapó– en sus noches y sus suenos y son atacados por los recuerdos borrosos, confusos y desorientados que alteran su vida. Su único bálsamo es el amor de Adam, su hermoso hijo, y la callada comprensión de Elliot, su esposo leal, quien es testigo impotente de su dolor, y que estará a su lado hasta su repentina muerte. Ella, ya sin rumbo, se hunde aún más entre la agonía de la depresión y la ausencia de su fallecido esposo.
La tabla de salvación para ambas se presenta de a poco, entre alucinaciones y el aroma a orquídeas y vida; y aunque desde siempre presienten que se reencontrarán más allá de ese mundo irreal y lleno de luz, no saben que lograrán descanso y paz con la presencia de la otra en este plano. No sospechan que las sombras, la soledad y la constante preocupación que cada una muestra cual fiel espejo, sólo es un paso más para cumplir su destino pactado en otra vida, ese que está lleno de amor y nuevos horizontes... hasta que la coma se los permita.

How to Think Like Einstein
Best known as the creator of the world's most famous equation, E=mc2, Albert Einstein's theories of relativity challenged centuries of received wisdom dating back to Newton. Without his groundbreaking work in relativity and quantum physics, our knowledge of the cosmos might lag decades behind where it is today. But Einstein was not only an extraordinary scientific thinker. He was a humanitarian who detested war and tried to stem the proliferation of hitherto unimaginably destructive weapons that his work had in part made possible. He spent a lifetime fighting authoritarianism and promoting personal freedom, selflessly standing up to those who posed a threat to those ideals. He was also a bona fide superstar and was instantly recognizable to millions who had not the least understanding of the intricacies of his scientific theories. Even now, the image of the tussled-hair 'mad professor' poking his tongue out at the camera is familiar across the globe. In How to Think Like Einstein, you can explore his unique approach to solving the great scientific mysteries of his age and trace the disparate ideas and influences that helped shape his personality and outlook - for better and worse.

Frank Sinatra: A Life in Pictures
A dandy, a crooner and an actor, talented and scandalous, as close to the Kennedys as to the underworld barons, Frank Sinatra fascinates. Coming from a small town in New Jersey, the bad boy married Ava Gardner and conquered Hollywood, starring in ove
r 60 films and winning an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor in 1953 for his role in From Here to Eternity. It's thanks to music, however, that his talent gained worldwide recognition. Nicknamed 'The Voice' by the international press, Sinatra imposed hi
s unique style and sold over 150 million albums in his 62-year career. Sinatra can be seen as a monumental artist. His life is summed up in one of his first hits: 'Nothing but the Best'; he was always associated with the best composers, best musician
s and best arrangers. In his personal life it was also the best vintage wine, the most beautiful women and all the extravagant luxury that accompanies a superstar (and some would say a bad boy's) life. Frank Sinatra, Life in Pictures recalls this exc
eptional journey through a captivating biography and rare and intimate photographs.

The Bolt Supremacy: Inside Jamaicas Sprint Factory
Beijing 2008, the 100 metres final: Usain Bolt slows down, beats his chest, metres clear of his nearest rival, his face filled with the euphoria of a young man utterly in thrall to his extraordinary physical talent. It is one of the greatest sporting moments. It is just the beginning.
Of the ten fastest 100-metres times in history, eight belong to Jamaicans. How is it that a small Caribbean island has come to almost totally dominate the men's and women's sprint events?
The Bolt Supremacy opens the doors to a community where sprinting permeates conversations and interactions; where the high school championships are watched by 35,000 screaming fans; where identity, success and status are forged on the track, and where making it is a pass to a world of adoration and lucrative contracts.
In such a society there can be the incentive for some to cheat. There are those who attribute Jamaican success to something beyond talent and hard work. Award-winning writer Richard Moore doesn't shy away from difficult questions as he travels the length of this beguiling country speaking to anti-doping agencies, scientists and sceptics as well as to coaches, gurus, superstar athletes and the young guns desperate to become the next big thing.

Dancing With Myself
In this original memoir following Billy Idol from his childhood in England to his fame at the height of the punk-pop revolution, the iconic superstar tells the real story behind the sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll that he is famous for.

Vogue On Valentino Garavani
'Valentissimo! Viva Valentino!' exclaimed Vogue, lauding the achievements of the first Italian dress designer to take on the Paris fashion world and achieve haute couture status. Drawing on Vogue's archive of imagery and text, as well as the author's exclusive interview with the designer, this book analyses Valentino's exceptional fusion of Latinate sensuality and Parisian precision. It shows how his inventive colour sense and use of opulent fabrics derived from Italian classical painting, and how his trust in and promotion of Italy's craftsmen and women is evident in his use of featherweight materials, handmade embroidery, beading and pleating. Valentino's early love of costumes worn by stars of the Italian and American film industry influenced his designs, and he attracted a superstar clientele, including Hollywood celebrities from Elizabeth Taylor to Gwyneth Paltrow, European royalty, and society figures such as Jaqueline Kennedy - who wore him in mourning, and in remarriage, at her wedding to Aristotle Onassis.Valentino is unique: the exquisite quality of his dressmaking and the femininity, glamour and allure of his seasonal collections are matchless; exceptionally in his field, he is known by his first name only; and he holds a record as the founder of a house who remained in creative control of it for 45 years.

Loving Amy
Arguably the most gifted artist of her generation, Amy Winehouse died tragically young, aged just 27. With a worldwide fanbase and millions of record sales to her name, she should have had the world at her feet. Instead, in the years prior to her passing, she battled with addictions and was often the subject of lurid tabloid headlines. But who was the real Amy? Amy's mother, Janis, knew her in a way that no-one else did. In this warm, poignant and, at times, heartbreaking memoir, she reveals the full story of the daughter she loved. As the world watched the rise of a superstar, then the freefall of an addict to her untimely death, Janis simply saw her Amy, the girl she'd given birth to in 1983; the girl she'd raised and stood by despite her unruly behaviour; the girl whose body she was forced to identify two days after her death - and the girl she's grieved for every day since. Packed with exclusive material that has never been seen before, such as extracts from Amy's teenage diaries, photos and notes, Loving Amy offers a new and intimate perspective on the life and death of the phenomenon that is Amy Winehouse.
