Picking up where New Batman Adventures left off, Batman comes face to face with a whole host of new adversaries and allies. Someone is stalking the Dark Knight and his comrades from the shadows of Gotham with the sole intent of taking out the Batman! Can Batman figure out why Lex Luthor has come to Gotham City? Who is Deathstroke and what are his plans for Batgirl and Robin? Through all these adventures, a long-buried secret from Batman's past comes to light, and it might just tear apart the Bat-Family once and for all!

Renowned writer and artist John Byrne's bold reimagining of Superman is regarded as one of the greatest comics runs in history. Joined by lauded industry talents such as Jerry Ordway, Karl Kesel, and John Beatty, Byrne pitted the Last Son of Krypton against a variety of strange foes that evoked the nostalgia of many of Superman's early adventures. 
    In these continuing tales, Superman aids a mysterious young woman who holds a dark secret, fights a gargantuan primate across Metropolis, deals with superhero possessing a supersize ego, and meets one of his most lethal foes yet—the Silver Banshee. Even the hamlet of Smallville isn't safe from danger when the intergalactic war between the Manhunters and the Guardians of the Universe comes to town during the Millennium crossover event. 
    This third volume collects Superman #12-15, Superman Annual #1, Action Comics #594-597, Action Comics Annual #1, Adventures of Superman #436-438, Adventures of Superman Annual #1, Booster Gold #23, and Superman: The Earth Stealers #1—plus character profiles from Who's Who Update '87 and Who's Who Update '88.

Thanks to his enhanced speed, Barry can cover great distances in the blink of an eye and vibrate his molecules so quickly that he can pass through solid objects. But not even the Fastest Man Alive can dodge calamity when his beloved wife, Iris, is murdered. 
    Grief-stricken, the Flash launches a one-man crusade to bring his wife's killer to justice, with all evidence pointing to an escaped metahuman convict. But is all as it seems, or is someone else responsible for masterminding the darkest moment in Barry Allen's life? Whoever the killer may be, they're about to learn that you can't outrun justice...especially when the Scarlet Speedster is on your trail.
    The Flash: The Death of Iris West collects The Flash #270-284 and recounts one of the most iconic story lines in pre-Crisis history. 

Batman: The Golden Age Omnibus Vol. 9 gathers together more than 600 pages of never-before-collected stories from the early 1950s, featuring groundbreaking work by such legendary talents as Dick Sprang, Bill Finger, Jim Mooney, Lew Sayre Schwartz, David Vern Reed, Bob Kane, and more.
