DC Comics The Flash By Geoff Johns Book One
Book SynopsisIn 2000, Geoff Johns redefined THE FLASH for a new generation. Now you can re-experience his unforgettable five-year run in these stunning tales of Wally West, The Fastest Man Alive! When the Flash breaks through space and time to reach a parallel Earth, it mirrors our own—except for one big difference: there is no Speed Force. Disconnected from the energy source that powers all super-speedsters, this is a world where The Flash never existed, and has become deadly for anyone who wears a mask. Powerless and hunted by the law, the only way Wally West can survive and escape is to accept help from those he trusts the least—his own Rogues Gallery! This first volume in THE FLASH BY GEOFF JOHNS series collects THE FLASH #164-176 and THE FLASH: IRON HEIGHTS featuring art by Angel Unzueta, Scott Kolins and Ethan Van Sciver.

Book SynopsisCOMMISSIONER GORDON IS THE NEW BATMAN! Following the disappearance and presumed death of Batman, former police commissioner Jim Gordon has been called to carry on the Dark Knight’s legacy and become the Dark Knight’s successor. But while the name and what it stands for remain the same, this new Batman is far from just a copy of the original. Patrolling the city in a gargantuan high-tech Bat-suit, Gordon is no shadowy vigilante. He has the full cooperation of the G.C.P.D. and the Mayor, plus a multi-million-dollar budget from Powers International. But will an expensive suit be enough to stop the mysterious, weed-like Mr. Bloom before his deadly plans for the city take root? The #1 New York Times all-star creative team of Scott Snyder, Greg Capullo and Danny Miki introduce an all-new Dark Knight in Batman Vol. 8: Superheavy, with guest appearances from Brian Azzarello (Wonder WomanTrade Review“…a great jumping on point for anyone looking to get into what I hope will continue to be a long and continuing run on this title from one of the best creative teams it’s ever had.”—Nerdist “This is the Snyder and Capullo show. This is the work of two men at the top of their games. They have never been more confident in their storytelling.”—New York Post “Batman’s new direction gets off to a great start with some strong characterization and inventive art.” – IGN “Scott Snyder has reinvented Batman, deepening and humanizing the Dark Knight’s myth like no one since Frank Miller in the 1980s.”—The New York Times

Book SynopsisIntimidated by her father, the rector of Knype Hill, Dorothy performs her submissive roles of dutiful daughter and bullied housekeeper. Her thoughts are taken up with the costumes she is making for the church school play, by the hopelessness of preaching to the poor and by debts she cannot pay in 1930s Depression England. Suddenly her routine shatters and Dorothy finds herself down and out in London. She is wearing silk stockings, has money in her pocket and cannot remember her name. Orwell leads us through a landscape of unemployment, poverty and hunger, where Dorothy''s faith is challenged by a social reality that changes her life.

He eats ice-cream. He plays on his Xbox. He feels ordinary - inside.But Auggie is far from ordinary. Born with a terrible facial abnormality, he has been home-schooled by his parents his entire life, in an attempt to protect him from the cruelty of the outside world. Now, Auggie''s parents are sending him to a real school. Can he convince his new classmates that he''s just like them, underneath it all?Narrated by Auggie and the people around him whose lives he touches, Wonder is a frank, funny, astonishingly moving debut to be read in one sitting, pass on to others, and remember long after the final page.Trade ReviewThe breakout sensation of 2012... Wonder is destined to go the way of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time... dark, funny, touching. No Tube carriage will be without a copy this year * The Times *Emotionally rewarding... funny, touching, honest * Daily Mail *Gripping - I'd really recommend it to anybody. It's a young adult book book about a little boy who's born with a disfigured face, written from his point of view... charming, brutal and brilliant * Observer *I'd defy anyone not to well up when he cries: "Why do I have to be so ugly, Mommy?", and as for the climax, it wreaks emotional havoc. There is a message running through the book, most clearly voiced by an inspirational teacher, that if we were all a little kinder to one another the benefit would be incalculable. To finish it with a firm resolve to be a better person - well, you can't ask much more of any book than that * Independent *Tremendously uplifting and a novel of all-too-rare power * Sunday Express *
