Green Arrow #26 By Jeff Lemire and Artwork by Andrea Sorrentino

Shadowman #13 – By Peter Milligan and Artwork by Roberto De La Torre
All-new creative team… All-new arc… All-new beginning! Comics icon Peter Milligan and visionary artist Roberto De La Torre drag Jack Boniface into his blackest depths yet!
When a troubled young man with a history of violence and a penchant for blackouts meets an overwhelming source of power with a mystical scythe, the results are doomed to be destructive. A voodoo loa has possessed Jack Boniface – or so he believes. But after Jack awakens in an alleyway covered in blood, he embarks on a journey across lands of shadows and death to discover if he can expel the dark force that’s seized control of his life…and which may be responsible for a violent rampage throughout New Orleans…
The Abettors have dark designs for Jack Boniface, and now there’s only one way to save him: separate him from the Shadowman Loa. Can an enigmatic mambo do the deed, or will Alyssa be forced to choose between Jack and the Abettors? Pick up this issue, debuting the creative team of Peter Milligan (Shade the Changing Man, Hellblazer) and Roberto De La Torre. This issue also contains a preview of 11 December’s issue of Unity. Also available with a Pullbox Edition variant cover.
