“OCEANS OF BLOOD” part four “HIGH WATER MARK”
The ocean runs red! Poseidon, Greek God of the Sea, conquered Hell and has finally set his menacing sights upon the Earth! If he and his unfathomably gigantic pet, the biblical Leviathan, make it through the demonic portal formed within the black waters of the River Styx that acts as a gateway to the Atlantic Ocean... then there will be no stopping them.
Aquaman and Wonder Woman, a lord of the ocean and a Greek goddess, must confront Poseidon - who possesses all their abilities and more. The Demon Etrigan and Lobo must stand in the path of Leviathan, the largest sea monster in the universe. They have no other options but to hold the line... and hope.
Damian Wayne has found the source of the Greek God’s madness - a corrupted artificial Lazarus Pit created by his grandfather R’as Al Ghul. With the help of Dr. Fate, the young Robin can channel a spell to purify the taint and cure Poseidon’s insanity. But that takes time - and time is what the Earth doesn’t have! With only Azrael to defend him from the zealots of the Shoal Poseidous cult, can the boy wonder save the world from a wrathful deity?

“RECKONING DAY”
Jason Wynn is worried. Years ago, he had Al Simmons killed as part of a bargain with Hell... a bargain that had heretofore paid significant dividends. After all, he’d successfully risen to the directorship of the legendary Blackhawks paramilitary force. He had wealth, power, and, most importantly, he had infernal protection so that he didn’t have to worry about retaliation. But now his demonic partner the Violator is dead and the dark lord Malebolgia has gone incommunicado. Jason Wynn is alone... and Spawn is coming for him!
Yet as they say, an animal is most dangerous when cornered. Wynn has turned Blackhawk Island into an “undeath” trap. It boasts a nigh-impregnable stronghold with mystical defenses, hundreds of highly trained elite soldiers experienced in combating supernatural threats, and custom-made anti-hellspawn weapons that Wynn commissioned months ago after Spawn’s first failed assassination attempt (see SPAWN #7). He’s ready. You want some, Al Simmons, you filthy decrepit ghoul? Come get some!

THE BATMAN WITHOUT FEAR #2***NEW SERIES***
Plotted by EXCITER
Written by JOSHUA WILLIAMSON

“REBORN IN DARKNESS”
Once, on another world, he was the Devil of Hell’s Kitchen. That world is gone. Now Matt Murdock finds himself confronted with a new reality and in a new city that is even more desperate for a defender than his old neighborhood...
Bruce Wayne has expanded his focus internationally, but Gotham City must always have a dark knight. To that end, Matt Murdock has been recruited to assume two new identities. By day, he shall leverage his litigation skills as part of Dawes & Murdock, LLP - a newly created boutique law firm, fully funded by Wayne Enterprises and dedicated to representing those the system would otherwise mercilessly chew up and spit out. By night, he shall become a bat. Blind and with an echolocative radar sense, he is perhaps more suited to the role than any to have previously donned the cowl. With resources at his disposal that he never before imaged, the Devil has been reborn as the hero that Gotham needs... the Batman without fear!
Yet not everyone is pleased to see this new Batman on the streets. The corpulent gangster Oswald Chesterfield Cobblepot, better known as the Penguin, sees him as a threat to an expanding criminal empire. The murderous antihero Vigilante questions whether his non-lethal methods are adequate. And the obsessive Dr. Jonathan Crane sees him as the ultimate challenge - for the Scarecrow must prove that there is no such thing as a man without fear!

SENTINELS OF MAGIC #48
'Stone By Day, Warriors By Night'
Plot by NX01A
Script by R. A. SALVATORE
Art by JEROME OPEÑA
•Notre-Dame de Paris' fiery destruction may have been a good thing for the dozens of gargoyles formerly bound to defend it.
•Frozen in place by a magic spell for almost a thousand years, the grotesque former guardians wreak as much havoc as they can before the fall of night traps them in invulnerable stone for twelve hours. With their touch petrifying humans instantly and possibly permanently, they're spreading the torment!
•The Sentinels discover that teleportation doesn't work on them, magical barriers can't resist the gargoyles' claws, and the bile they spew melts anything it touches!
•Perhaps KID ETERNITY can temporarily resurrect the only people able to destroy invulnerable stone: the original cathedral stone masons!
