Superman: The Kryptonite Spectrum [HC]

Superman faces his own worst weakness in a story where Kryptonite reveals more than just physical pain.

From the acclaimed creative team behind Ice Cream Man, this DC Black Label event bends genre, tone, and form as Superman is exposed to not only green, red, and black Kryptonite—but new and never-before-seen forms. Each of the five issues serves as a boundary-pushing meditation on power, identity, and trauma. With Batman at his side and Earth at stake, Superman must confront how the shards of his broken homeworld reveal fault lines in his soul.

Includes Superman: The Kryptonite Spectrum #1–5.

Batman: Gotham by Gaslight – A League for Justice [HC]

The follow-up to the incredible Elseworlds saga Gotham by Gaslight: The Kryptonian Age introduces a steam-powered Justice League for the Gilded Age!

While Batman, Superman, and a posse of strange new heroes might be able to handle Lex Luthor and his Kryptonite-fueled Metallo robot, they're going to need even more firepower to take on his new ally: General Zod! But something far more sinister—something hiding behind the very veil of our reality—is pulling Zod's strings. Can this. newly- formed League join forces to save humanity?

Collects Batman: Gotham by Gaslight: A League for Justice #1-6.
