Ame-Comi II: Batgirl #1
Writer: Justin Gray and Jimmy Palmiotti
Artist; Sanford Greene
Publisher: DC Comics
Batgirl and Robin have put aside the costumes and are ready to hit the town for a little fun–that is, until Poison Ivy turns up to create some chaos. And when two of her friends join, the Dynamic duo find themselves outnumbered.
Rodrigo
Resident Alien #2
Writer: Peter Hogan
Artist: Steve Parkhouse
Publisher: Dark Horse Comics
A stranded alien bides his time in the sleepy town of Patience, USA. Living undercover as a semi-retired doctor, his only hope is to stay off humanity’s radar until he can be rescued. When he’s pulled into a surprising murder mystery by the town’s desperate mayor and struggling police chief, Dr. Harry Vanderspeigle learns more about the human condition than he ever wanted to. He also finds police procedural work to be oddly appealing, and it’ll certainly kill time until he’s found. Acclaimed creators Peter Hogan (2000 AD, Tom Strong) and Steve Parkhouse (Milkman Murders, Doctor Who) deliver a truly unique sci-fi adventure tale with heart and humor!
