IGN posted an exclusive first look at a new gameplay trailer for the highly-anticipated BATMAN: ARKHAM CITY video game, giving fans a first look at the game in action. Featuring cameos by The Joker, Catwoman, Harley Quinn, Two-Face and Hugo Strange, I guarantee the trailer will make October 18th feel so much farther away than it already does.

If you haven’t watched it yet, catch the video here.

On Monday, Kotaku unveiled the cover to BATMAN: ARKHAM CITY #3, the five-issue miniseries launching this May that fills the events that occur between the first game, BATMAN: ARKHAM ASYLUM, and the upcoming sequel, ARKHAM CITY.

The first issue of the comic miniseries will land in May. The video game is in stores October 18th.

The first issue of John Rozum and Frazer Irving’s brilliantly weird XOMBI is in stores today. If you haven’t seen them yet, check out the first seven pages and an interview with writer John Rozum about the book over at IO9, or another insightful interview about the new series at iFanboy!

SUPERMAN #709 provides an exhilarating new twist on the classic question of who’s faster: Superman or Flash? Who will outrun the other and what the heck is that thing on Flash’s head that’s making him speak Kryptonian and recite the planet’s history?

Written by J. Michael Straczynski and Chris Roberson, with artwork by Eddy Barrows & J.P. Mayer and a cover by John Cassaday, SUPERMAN #709 continues the Man of Steel’s “Grounded” storyline — this time bringing Superman to the vast landscapes of Boulder, Colorado.

SUPERMAN #709 lands in comic book stores today.

Who do you think is faster, SOURCE readers? Superman or Flash? Place your bets.

There are only three issues left of the bestselling BRIGHTEST DAY series. Issue 22 is cryptically titled “The End and The Beginning” and it’s all about Firestorm’s struggle to be the best hero that he can be.

I don’t want to give anything away or spoil the story, so I’ll just say that the issue has been aptly titled and leave it at that.

Written by Geoff Johns and Peter J. Tomasi and with art by Scott Clark, Ivan Reis, and Joe Prado, BRIGHTEST DAY #22, is on sale in stores today.

On the grand scale of things, dinosaurs are far from the most formidable enemies that Superman or Power Girl have fought. Honestly, what’s a T-Rex compared to a Darkseid? Show me a velociraptor and I’ll show you Doomsday.

So then why are a few overgrown reptiles rampaging through Manhattan giving them so much trouble? Shouldn’t this be an easy day’s work for those two?

Find out in POWER GIRL #22, on sale Wednesday.

When Zatanna brings Oscar Hempel to Shadowcrest, her family’s mansion, to try and reverse the spell her father placed on him, little does she know his villainous intentions. The power hungry marionette will stop at nothing to become human again – and exact revenge on the bloodline that turned him into a puppet in the first place.

“Strung Along” is the latest chapter in Paul Dini’s darkly comic “Pupaphobia” storyline. Featuring art by Cliff Chiang, ZATANNA #10 is in stores now.

First, Aaron Lopresti’s variant cover to JUSTICE LEAGUE: GENERATION LOST #23 asks just how long can Max Lord keep his grip on the Generation Lost crew, especially when Batman and Wonder Woman are involved. Then, J.H. Williams III delivers another awesome cover with BATMAN INCORPORATED #5.
