GARTH ENNIS AND JOHN MCCREA RETURN TO HITMAN AFTER 25 YEARS!

It’s a Christmas miracle! Garth Ennis and John McCrea return to their quintessential DCU creation, Tommy Monaghan, and the world of Hitman after 25 years for two twisted tales of yuletide cheer, violence, irreverence, and…ninjas?!

In the first story, we return to the DC Universe of the 1990s as Tommy is tasked with finding a star to place atop a tree but is targeted by all manner of killers, each of whom has a grudge and is looking to cash in on his head. And in the backup, Baytor mans the bar of a very familiar cafe and teams up with one of the World’s Finest heroes to save the day. Or does he?

THE COUNTDOWN TO CATASTROPHE BEGINS!

In this special 40-page one-shot, acclaimed author ED BRISSON (ThunderCats: Lost, SilverHawks, Apex) and artists ELTON THOMASI and ALICE LECLERT bring readers three special tales that set the stage for a cataclysmic crossover event to come!

THE PAST: Claudus’s heir to the throne of Thundera, the cub Lion-O, struggles to understand his destined place at the head of the kingdom. How can he protect an entire realm when he can barely lift a sword? And with the destruction of their planet looming, will the young prince be able to shoulder the burden of leadership?

THE PRESENT: With mob boss Mon*Star gone, criminals from the furthest reaches of the galaxy are moving to fill the power vacuum left in his wake — and it’s up to the SilverHawks to stop them. But with their resources stretched thin, the team has to expand — and when Quicksilver and new recruit Chromium take on an intergalactic biker gang, the veteran and the rookie will face a real trial by fire!

THE FUTURE: For the ThunderCats trapped in the far future of ThunderCats: Lost in Time, the quest to find a way back to the past is proving to be an exercise in frustration. A restless Neko begins pulling away from her teammates to wage a one-woman war against the Darkbirds, whose secrets may hold the key to the ’Cats survival — past, present, and future!

Featuring spacetime-spanning covers from SEBASTIÁN PÍRIZ, MEGHAN HETRICK, FABIO FAILLA, and DECLAN SHALVEY, as well as a special piece of classic ANIMATION ART, ThunderCats X SilverHawks: Road to War #1 also includes a special PREMIUM MYSTERY BLIND BAG!

Muppets Noir

IT WAS A DARK AND FROGGY EVENING!

It’s time to cue the music; it’s time to dim the lights! It’s time to get things started as the Muppets return tonight!

The show is about to begin at the famous Muppet Theatre, and the regular pre-curtain chaos has the troupe’s stalwart MC, Kermit the Frog, coming apart at the seams. In an attempt to de-stress, he settles down to read a few pages of a favorite old detective novel — only to get kayoed by an errant brick to the bean, leaving him laid out backstage as his co-stars try to coax him back to consciousness.

But unbeknownst to them, Kermit has taken up the hard-boiled mantle of his fictional hero to walk the darkened streets of Dreamland, righting wrongs and cracking cases under the concealing cover of night. Flip Minnow, P.I., has no time for song and dance — not if he’s going to solve the baffling mystery of the Snoozing Sleuth!

Legendary cartooning talent and Muppets comics veteran ROGER LANGRIDGE bellies up to the drawing table once more for an all-new tale of crime and pun-ishment with The Muppets Noir #1 — featuring clue-filled cover art from both the author and guest artist DECLAN SHALVEY, as well as an appropriately enigmatic DELUXE MYSTERY BLIND BAG! The Blind Bag contains two limited editions of the issue selected randomly from a range of variant covers exclusive to this offering — including a new original cover, colored blanks, and more! Please Note: The number of Blind Bags is limited, and allocations may occur.

JUSTICE KNOWS NO BOUNDARIES! Worlds collide as two of the most beloved entries in the legendary Disney Afternoon lineup of animated shows meet for the first time ever in a brand-new title crafted by both series’ original authors!

Gargoyles creator GREG WEISMAN and Darkwing Duck creator TAD STONES join forces with acclaimed artist CIRO CANGIALOSI to bring the Defenders of St. Canard and the Manhattan Clan together for an adventure so epic that no single continuity could contain it! After contacting a wary Morgana Macawber through her magic mirror, the scheming Demona whisks the uncooperative sorceress out of St. Canard and into her New York City lair, where she proceeds to grill Morgana for the location of a certain mystical tome with enough eldritch energy to allow Demona to finally conquer the world. Darkwing Duck, of course, isn’t about to take this lying down. As soon as he learns about Morgana’s abduction, DW and his stalwart sidekick Launchpad McQuack are in the air, racing towards the Big Apple to rescue his avian amour. But will the Terror That Flaps in the Night be able to handle the City That Never Sleeps — not to mention the stone guardians who protect it?

Find out in the action-packed first issue of GARGOYLES/DARKWING DUCK, featuring tantalizingly transformative covers by STONES, CANGIALOSI, DECLAN SHALVEY, and IVAN BIGARELLA — as well as an exclusive BLIND BAG VARIANT! Please Note: The number of Blind Bags is limited, and allocations may occur.

A lone figure on a battered mount, he’s a tempting target for bandits – and temptation is not something that the inhabitants of these badlands are inclined to resist.
