New York Times best-selling author James Robinson writes the Eisner Award-nominated adventures of a new and more aggressive Justice League, led by Green Lantern. What brings a team together? Justice! Batman and Martian Manhunter have been slaughtered, and they’re not the only heroes to fall at the hands of villains. The murder has to stop, and it's time to take the fight to the bad guys! Green Lantern, Green Arrow, Supergirl, Atom, Shazam, Congorilla, and Starman unite in a cry for justice! This graphic novel, written by James Robinson (STARMAN, SUPERMAN), with rising star artist Mauro Cascioli (TRIALS OF SHAZAM), pushes our heroes to the brink and beyond, as evil can no longer be tolerated. But when Prometheus plans his revenge on not only the heroes, but on the very places they call home, will this new team be ready to pay the cost for the justice they seek? This time it's personal-and it'll only get more bloody before it's over! Collects JUSTICE LEAGUE #1-7.

Set during the start of one of the darkest periods of U.S. history, the infamous 'McCarthy Era,' THE GOLDEN AGE takes a thought-provoking look at what might have happened to DC's first generation of super-heroes beyond their exploits during theSecond World War, when paranoia has taken a chokehold on America. DC's first generation of super-heroes have been driven into retirement or hiding, or madness—except for a few who are willing to change with the times. But behind the scenes,something even more sinister is unfolding—a subtle plot that may engulf the planet and remake it in one man's image. Collects JSA: Golden Age #1-4.

NEW YORK TIMES AND WALL STREET JOURNAL BESTSELLER • From two winners of the 2024 Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences, “who have demonstrated the importance of societal institutions for a country’s prosperity” “A wildly ambitious work that hopscotches through history and around the world to answer the very big question of why some countries get rich and others don’t.”—The New York Times FINALIST: Financial Times and Goldman Sachs Business Book of the Year Award • ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The Washington Post, Financial Times, The Economist, BusinessWeek, Bloomberg, The Christian Science Monitor, The Plain Dealer Why are some nations rich and others poor, divided by wealth and poverty, health and sickness, food and famine? Is it culture, the weather, or geography that determines prosperity or poverty? As Why Nations Fail shows, none of these factors is either definitive or destiny. Drawing on fifteen years of original research, Daron Acemoglu and James Robinson conclusively show that it is our man-made political and economic institutions that underlie economic success (or the lack of it). Korea, to take just one example, is a remarkably homogenous nation, yet the people of North Korea are among the poorest on earth while their brothers and sisters in South Korea are among the richest. The differences between the Koreas is due to the politics that created those two different institutional trajectories. Acemoglu and Robinson marshal extraordinary historical evidence from the Roman Empire, the Mayan city-states, the Soviet Union, the United States, and Africa to build a new theory of political economy with great relevance for the big questions of today, among them: • Will China’s economy continue to grow at such a high speed and ultimately overwhelm the West? • Are America’s best days behind it? Are we creating a vicious cycle that enriches and empowers a small minority? “This book will change the way people think about the wealth and poverty of nations . . . as ambitious as Jared Diamond’s Guns, Germs, and Steel.”—BusinessWeek
