John Constantine, Hellblazer: Dead in America
by Simon Spurrier
This is certainly not the first time John Constantine has had a brush with death -- but if he doesn't play his cards right, it may be his last! Far from home and with precious few allies to call upon, Constantine, his son Noah, and his bodyguard Nat are on the run in America and wanted for murder. To make matters worse, John's heart has stopped beating and his body is quite literally decaying more and more with each passing day. Thankfully, he may have a chance at winning a favor from the King of Dreams himself, Morpheus of the Endless, to save himself-- that is, if he can figure out who is using Dream's sand to weave its terrible will into America's collective unconscious! After all, when has playing quid pro quo with all-powerful, extra-dimensional entities ever blown up in Constantine's face?.

More Weight: A Salem Story
by Ben Wickey
In Salem, Massachusetts, 1692 is a year of terror. When accusations of witchcraft plunge the community into paranoia and death, curmudgeonly farmer Giles Corey and his great-souled wife Martha are forced to confront their troubled pasts, fighting to hold onto their principles even at the cost of their lives. In the 1860s, famed writers Nathaniel Hawthorne and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow stroll the streets of Salem together, reflecting on their own dark connections to those wicked days. Today, graphic novelist Ben Wickey wrestles with the complex legacy of the Witch City and what it shows us about the best and worst of humanity. Based on true events, set in three centuries, and hand-drawn over a decade, More Weight is a stunning visual symphony -- a unique and profound inquiry into the infamous Salem witch trials and the long shadows they still cast on us all..
