TOP RELEASES OF THE WEEK

• DC: The Doomed and The Damned #1
  by Saladin Ahmed, John Arcudi, Amanda Deibert, Garth Ennis, Travis Moore, Kenny Porter, Brandon Thomas, Amedeo Turturro, Marv Wolfman, Alyssa Wong, Max Fiumara, PJ Holden, Leonardo Manco, Tom Mandrake, Travis Moore, Mike Perkins, Baldemar Rivas, Riley Rossmo, Daniel Sampere, and Dominike.
  Published by DC Comics, 2020.
  It was a dark and stormy night when the creatures of the DC Universe began to emerge from their lairs into the cool evening air. Tales of the macabre, the murderous, and the morbid abound in this spine-chilling special about monsters and mayhem! What happens when Batman encounters a true urban legend after speaking its name three times in a mirror, or when Madame Xanadu enlists the help of Man-Bat to take down a shadowy specter? And who can stop an intergalactic demon from turning people into frog beasts? Only the unlikely team-up of Green Lantern and Etrigan! All this and seven more fang-tastic tales to trick your treats and bob your apples.
• Strange Adventures #6
  by Tom King, Mitch Gerads, and Evan Shaner.
  Published by DC Comics, 2020.
  How determined is Mr. Terrific to find the truth? The answer becomes more challenging as the whole world starts to turn against him. Adam Strange is a hero who can save the Earth from alien invasion, and who is Mr. Terrific to say otherwise? The extent of the denial only makes the man more suspicious. 
  Not that the warmongering Pykkts care one way or the other. If Strange is to be believed, they only have one thing on their minds: taking over the planet. Adam and his wife beat them back once before, and the key to doing it again is to dig into the past that Mr. Terrific is so hell-bent on destroying.  
  Read the series IGN calls one of the most anticipated comics of the year!
• Hawkman #28
  by Robert Venditti and Fernando Pasarin.
  Published by DC Comics, 2020.
  What was once a gift now becomes a curse! With the reincarnation cycle finally broken, Hawkman finds himself fearful that every fight could be his last-and Hawkwoman’s patience for his caution wears thin. But they’ll need all their wits and courage about them, because their age-old enemy Hath-Set is out for blood!
• Rorschach #1
  by Tom King and Jorge Fornes.
  Published by DC Comics, 2020.
  It’s been 35 years since Ozymandias dropped a giant interdimensional squid on New York City, killing thousands and destroying the public’s trust in heroes once and for all. And since that time, one figure in a fedora, mask, and trenchcoat has become a divisive culture icon.
  So what does it mean when Rorschach reappears as an assassin trying to kill a candidate running against President Robert Redford? Who is the man behind the mask, and why is he acting this way? It’s up to one detective to uncover the true identity of this would-be killer-and it will take him into a web of conspiracies involving alien invasions, disgraced do-gooders, mystic visions, and yes, comic books. Writer Tom King joins forces with artist Jorge Fornés for a new miniseries that explores the mythic qualities of one of the most compelling characters from the bestselling graphic novel of all time, Watchmen.
