By CHUCK DIXON, JON BOGDANOVE, KEVIN NOWLAN, and DAVE STEWART; cover by JON BOGDANOVE and KEVIN NOWLAN Like all true heroes, Superman tries to protect life, even in the pitch of battle. But Superman has rarely seen a scourge like the Aliens. While a few of these creatures may not be a match for one with Superman's near limitless powers, a few hundred of them unleashed like rats in the otherwordly utopia of New Genesis DOES pose a considerable problem. What's worse, these aren't just any Aliens, but the scions of Darkseid's Parademons, used as willing hosts for their master's devious machinations. But even THIS is not the ultimate horror. Darkseid has his sights set on a certain brooding inhabitant of New Genesis...and has saved the most insidious role for him!
By CHUCK DIXON, JON BOGDANOVE, KEVIN NOWLAN, and DAVE STEWART; cover by JON BOGDANOVE and KEVIN NOWLAN
While Orion seethes, seeking vengeance on Darkseid for unleashing a Parademon/Alien horde on the New Gods, Superman attempts to focus on their mission ? to find and incapacitate the alien queen at the heart of this horrific infestation. Brainpower, as much as physical battle, bested the ravenous creatures in Superman's first encounter, but will the combined skills of Superman and the "gods" of New Genesis be enough to overcome hundreds of Darkseid's Apokolips-Aliens hybrids? And what will be the final fate of Orion, victimized by an alien face-hugger? Can even a New God withstand the shrieking birth of a chestburster?

Cover by Ben Templesmith. by Mike Carey & Dean Hyrapiet When crows eat the eyes of a dead man, his soul stumbles blind into hell: but when crows eat the eyes of a voodoo bokor, something very different happens. Gabriel Moore is about to find out what that something is, as his enemies enter into an unholy alliance to destroy him.
Cover by Ben Templesmith. Created by Nicolas Cage and Weston Cage Written by Mike Carey Art by Dean Hyrapiet.

But Gabriel is being hunted in this turn, by the most powerful of the voodoo loas, and Baron Samedi has his own terrifying ways of dealing with the risen dead...

After an epic struggle to bring the Leprechaun Queen back to the mansion, an odious bargain must be struck for her services. Will Wormwood agree to her terms? Will he survive her cure? Courtesy of Eisner-nominated artist Ben Templesmith,
Time for Wormwood is running out as the Leprechaunni disease takes hold. On safari on the Leprechaun world, as they hunt for their queen, they discover that by killing one and possessing it's head they can create a Leprehaunni translator-the first time in history. And, oh, what secrets they then discover. Courtesy of Eisner-nominated artist Ben Templesmith, *Retailers: See your order form for a special incentive
Wormwood takes his friends out to the local gambling den for Leprechaun fight night. Problem is, they're a little rabid, and if you get bitten, it's next to impossible to find a cure before you die. And not even an immortal like Wormy is immune to their bite... the Worm is back for more, courtesy of Eisner-nominated artist Ben Templesmith.
Things are spiraling out of control. The plans of the dark forces at work come full circle as Wormwood attempts to use stern language (and a few other things) to stop an ancient world-eating god from treating the city as an appetizer before moving on to the rest of the planet... Ben Templesmith (30 Days of Night, Fell) continues with his new all-eerie and humorous series.
By Ben Templesmith. In order to get to the bottom of the murders, Wormwood must make the ultimate sacrifice - his own body. Whatever it is gestating inside his withered womb, it's not human. There'll be no happy snaps or cigars at this birth. Ben Templesmith (30 Days of Night, Fell) continues with his new all-eerie and humorous series.
Ben Templesmith returns with his first solo project since Singularity 7. Meet Wormwood, the English-accented, beer-drinking, sentient corpse possessing a maggot expat from the Hell dimension. Well, one of them. If he's not attempting to save Earth from demonic, parasitic fungal infections or undead strippers, then he's off drinking with his homemade mechanical sidekick, Mr. Pendulum. Collecting one of the original short stories first seen in Lo-Fi Magazine, this book also includes extra pages, new artwork and background material.
