Action Comics #901

1:10 Variant cover by Dan Jurgens

We can’t tell you much about this issue without ruining some of Action Comics #900′s surprises, but suffice it to say, Doomsday’s back, and you’ve never seen him like this before. Doomsday’s first appearance brought about the “Reign of the Supermen,” where four characters — Superboy, Steel, Cyborg Superman, and Eradicator — came onto the scene to try to fill Superman’s shoes. Now, with “Reign of Doomsday,” it looks like Superman might need to fill their shoes.

PAYING FOR IT HC
DRAWN & QUARTERLY
(W/A) Chester Brown

Brown calmly lays out the facts of how he became not only a willing participant in but a vocal proponent of one of the world’s most hot-button topics – prostitution. Paying For It offers an entirely contemporary exploration of sex work – from the timid john who rides his bike to his escorts, wonders how to tip so as not to offend, and reads Dan Savage for advice, to the modern-day transactions complete with online reviews, seemingly willing participants, and clean apartments devoid of clichéd street corners, drugs, or pimps. Complete with a surprise ending, Paying For It provides endless debate and conversation about sex work and will be the most talked-about graphic novel of 2011.

DMZ TP VOL 10 COLLECTIVE PUNISHMENT (MR)
DC COMICS
Written by BRIAN WOOD
Art ANDREA MUTTI, NATHAN FOX, DANIJEL ZEZELJ and DAVID LAPHAM
Cover by BRIAN WOOD

In this collection of tales from DMZ #55-59, citizens and soldiers – new characters and old – weather the storm of a brutal “shock and awe” bombing campaign on the DMZ.
Included is a story concerning the enigmatic Wilson, the self-professed protector of Chinatown and confidant to series star Matty Roth who has always said he’d own the DMZ in the end. Now, with the U.S. poised to steamroll its way into the city, it’s do-or-die time for the old man. In another tale, Matty lends his Liberty News secure phone line to DMZ citizens to reach out to loved ones outside the city – a direct violation of his contract. Is this the beginning of a new, compassionate Matty looking to atone? Or are more cynical motives at play?
