KICK-ASS HC
MARK MILLAR (W) • JOHN ROMITA JR. (A/C)
Have you ever really wanted to be a super hero? No, I mean really wanted to? Dave Lizewski has — and he’s not willing to let it stop with simple daydreams. Designing a suit for himself and taking the name “Kick-Ass,” Dave decides to make his dreary existence more exciting — and maybe even help some people in the process. But with no special powers and outmatched by New York City’s most hardened criminals, Kick-Ass might be in for a little more than he bargained for. With his super-hero secret identity gaining fans due to a popular viral video, and other masked vigilantes such as Hit-Girl and Big Daddy making their presence felt in the city, Dave knows that his extracurricular activity is dangerous, maybe even stupid — but he’s got the itch, and it ain’t going away. Extras include variant covers, character design sketches, script to story progression, and introduction by Rob Liefeld. Collecting KICK-ASS #1-8.

Written by PETER DAVID & ROBIN FURTH
Penciled by MICHAEL LARK
Cover by MICHAEL LARK
As Roland Deschain searches the Mohaine Desert for the Man in Black, he finds Tull — last stop of civilization, a town full of nothing. There, Roland encounters lost souls like Old Nort, aimlessly wandering the streets and drinking to forget; Kennerly, the stableman who takes better care of Roland’s mule than he does his daughters…and Allie, the once-pretty barmaid saddled with a fearsome, cursed secret thanks to the Man in Black. It may seem that Tull is on the very edge of the world, but Roland believes that beyond its border lies a hidden truth that means everything to Mid-World. The Man in Black holds the key to that mystery, and Roland is going to keep following him — even straight into a trap — to unlock it. Collecting DARK TOWER: THE GUNSLINGER — THE BATTLE OF TULL #1-5.
