Book Description
A young rogue resolves to reinvent himself. Through hard work and perseverance, he attains the ability to pass for a respectable member of the bourgeoisie, to ape their mannerisms, and simulate their enthusiasms. Thus equipped, he enters a respected university. His enjoyment of his new academic milieu - the material comforts, the feminine company - is immense, but as he becomes integrated into their social structures, he begins to discern the deviousness and dishonesty of the mandarins who compose this privileged group. The discovery leads him through a maze of deception, right wing philosophy, seduction, and violence. Internally at war with the malevolence that surrounds him, his choices are few: he can rely on the tools of his life of respectability - or he can fall back on the skills that he attained and perfected in his previous existence.

Once upon a time on Rann, Adam Strange made a deal with his neighbors and foes to take a stand against the invading Pykkts. Now, on Earth, he is trying to do the same thing: to get all the heroes to rise as one to keep the marauders from doing to his home planet what they already did to his adopted one. But the original deal was a devil’s bargain, and Alanna Strange has received a mysterious letter that may tell her more than she wants to know. If she wants to keep her husband safe, it’s time for her to go on the offensive.

Book Description
Baghdad, 2003. The reign of Saddam Hussein is over. The Americans are in command. And no one is in control. Former cop turned military contractor Christopher Henry knows that better than anyone. HeÕs in the country to train up a new Iraqi police force, and one of his recruits has just been murdered. With civil authority in tatters and dead bodies clogging the streets, Chris is the only person in the Green Zone with any interest in finding out who killed him-and why. ChrisÕ inquiry brings him first to Sofia, an American-raised Iraqi who now sits on the governing council, and then to Nassir, a grizzled veteran of SaddamÕs police force-and probably the last real investigator left in Baghdad. United by death but divided by conflicting loyalties, the three must help each other navigate the treacherous landscape of post-invasion Iraq in order to hunt down the killers. But are their efforts really serving justice-or a much darker agenda? Inspired by his real-life experiences as a CIA operations officer in Iraq, writer Tom King (BATMAN) teams with artist Mitch Gerads to deliver a wartime crime thriller like no other in THE SHERIFF OF BABYLON VOL. 1: BANG. BANG. BANG., collecting issues #1-6 of their groundbreaking Vertigo series.
