Catwoman Vampirella Furies (1997) 1 VF 8.0

DC Comics and Harris Comics co-publish a team-up with the original, the best, the toughest, and often the baddest girls of them all! A rash of brutal slayings by someone or some thing with a penchant for cat-related items leads Vampirella to Gotham City looking for the most logical perpetrator: Catwoman. But the Feline Fatale sees no reason why it couldn't be Vampi. The trail soon leads to a certain feathered fiend by the name of Oswald Cobblepot, the nefarious Penguin. But the true villain has her own agenda and even the combined claws of Catwoman and Vampirella may not be able to stop her. This one-shot is written by Chuck Dixon, with bombastic art by Jim Balent and Ray McCarthy. Cover by Jim Balent and Jimmy Palmiotti. FC, 48 pg. Prestige Format. Cover price $5.95.

Written by Kevin J. Anderson. Art by Dario Carrasco, Jr., Mark G. Heike, Bill Black and David Jacob Beckett. Cover by Russell Walks. Gav and Jori Daragon knew they could be killed in their chosen line of work -- mapping out uncharted hyperspace flight paths could easily result in a deadly meeting with an unexpected meteorite shower or an unknown world. But it's neither comets nor planets that threaten them now. Rather, it's their success that may cost them their lives. They've successfully mapped a hyperspace shortcut -- a shortcut which could prove strategically imperative in the event of war. And war is just what Gav and Jori have found themselves in the middle of. Trapped between two factions of the Sith, each vying for control of the galaxy, this sibling duo of hyperspace pioneers has become a pawn to the dark side of Sith magic. 32 pages, FC. Cover price $2.95.
