Batman: Orpheus Rising #2
Caught in the crossfire of a police shootout, Orpheus must fight for his life as he seeks to take down a bevy of deadly gangbangers. But even if he can get past the hail of bullets, the mystery of who's behind the recent police killings still remains. And to solve that mystery, Orpheus must face Gotham's protectorÉthe Batman!
Birds of Prey #35
Oracle, Power Girl, Blue Beetle, and Militia have arrived to rescue Black Canary, but they're too late! Ra's al Ghul is on the run, but how much running can a centuries-old guy do, anyway? The walls are coming down and it looks like Dinah's gonna get squashed...unless she can make it to the Lazarus Pit! It's the climactic conclusion to our star-crossed story of love, betrayal, death and rebirth.
Just Imagine Stan Lee Creating Superman With John Buscema

When an alien policeman chases his most hated foe into the reaches of space, he soon finds himself stranded on Earth. With remarkable powers from the new atmosphere, he becomes a super-hero in hopes of accelerating humanity's progress toward the stars. But Reverend Dominic Darrk has other plans. Plus, an "On the Street" backup story written by Michael Uslan and Stan Lee, with art by Kyle Baker!
Robin #94
A lead-in to next month's big event! Spoiler's up to her eyeballs in villains, and they're living in her house, no less! Meanwhile, Tim makes a very disturbing discovery as the truth about his roommate Wesley is revealed. Unfortunately, Wesley makes a discovery about Tim, and it involves a certain Boy Wonder costume.
Superboy #92
The Kid's really had it rough in recent months. So what better time for Doctor Sin to return!? And if you thought the Doctor was an enigma before, then check out this rematch between him and Superboy, set in a wonderland of weirdness!
Supergirl #62
Supergirl unfairly judged Buzz of a crime he didn't commit. Now, knowing the truth, the guilt-ridden heroine tracks Buzz all the way to Gotham City. Unfortunately it looks like Buzz really is on the wrong side of the tracks this time. He's aligned himself with Harvey Dent, a.k.a. Two-Face, whose kidnapping of a scientist leads to the creation of another bizarre foe for the Maid of Might!
Superman: Man of Steel #118
Guest-starring Hal Jordan, the Spectre! Superman is brought in by the Linear Men for the war crimes they perceive the Man of Steel to have committed. Can the Spectre defend him against the tribunal that is the Quintessence? What will be the punishment and who is the surprise witness?
