The Adventures of SUPERBOY & ROBIN #3
otherwise known as "World's Next Finest"
Written by TOM KING
Plot by Global Honored
Art by JORGE JIMINEZ
Special Alternate Cover by NICK DRAGOTTA
"Nature Boys"
The "Super Dads" think its a good idea that their boys experience the serenity of nature and some friendship bonding after being bottled up in several big city crises of late. Too bad the fathers themselves, Batman and Superman, can't find the time to make the trip (see how busy they are in the pages of New Dawn's BATMAN and SUPERMAN comics this month) so stand-in father figures Alfred Pennyworth and Jimmy Olsen have volunteered to chaperone. But when Damian finds out that Jon is bringing along his new "best friend" Krypto the Superdog, he feverishly scurries around No-Dogs-Allowed Wayne Manor for a pet pal substitute of his own. Lo and behold, deep inside the Batcave's vault of secrets he stumbles upon the next closest thing....a boy's best friend, Bat-Mite?!?
The team set up camp around majestic Curt Swan Lake deep in the woods outside Metropolis. No televisions, no cellular service, no distractions. Just four guys, a flying dog, an imp hidden in a travel bag, and mother nature. They enjoy camraderie around the campfire, Gentleman Ghost stories, s'mores, laughs, and all is going well until they are paid a visit by the forest's miserly unofficial anti-animal enforcer - The Floronic Man! Trees and plants, acting at the beckon call of Floronic Man, come to life and turn against our heroic campers. Jon desperately fights to free Alfred and Krypto as they are overcome by villainous vines, wrapped up and struggling to breathe. Jimmy appears to have transformed into a walking zombified plant-man with bad intentions for Damian, but the Boy Wonder literally has one last trick in his bag....
Introducing Robin of Zur-En-Arrh, enhanced by the power of imagination with possibility straight out of the 5th Dimension, to save the camping trip! If The Floronic Man thought animals were a nuisance, wait until he gets a load of...wait, who is Damian talking to anyways???
Epilogue: Safely back in the modernly comfortable confines of Wayne Manor, Alfred convinces Master Bruce to rethink his "no pets in the house" rule. Besides, he has always been partial to cats....

INFINITE DAWN
Within the walls of reality, a thousand worlds await you!
INFINITE JEST #1 *Worlds of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy!*
•Teen Titans '66 creators LEE STONE, JEFF PARKER, and MIKE ALLRED bring you an outrageous misadventure as two young girls apply for membership while the Titans are visiting Batman in Gotham. And no matter how many times they're declined, Duela Dent and Harley Quinn won't take 'NO' for an answer. And neither will accept the other, either, leading them both to sabotage each others' attempts to join the group. It's a madcap race through Gotham to keep things from going out of control. And... will one of them actually succeed?!
•NX01A (Sentinels of Magic, Astonishing X-Men), KAZUO ISHIGURO (The Remains of the Day, The Buried Giant) and YOSHITAKA AMANO (Gatchaman, Sandman: The Dream Hunters) tell the tale of STARWOMAN and HOURMAN of the JUSTICE SOCIETY investigating an odd temporal signature emanating from the Ryukyu Islands off Japan on April 4, 2017. Everything started as usual on Tomb-Sweeping Day with graves being cleaned and offerings made to the ancestors... but families were shocked to find the deceased relative whose graves they just beautified alive and well and hard at work beautifying *their* homes! It seems like a cruel joke but when the descendants start dying with smiles on their faces, it's definitely no laughing matter!

Plot by NX01A
Written by CULLEN BUNN
Art by DALE KEOWN
•An island in a bottle sits on the desk of CALVIN ELLIS, the Secretary-General of the United Nations, but neither bottle nor island nor Ellis are what they appear. IPH-RO, the leader of the permanently miniaturized KRYPTONIANS of VATHLO ISLAND, and his scientists have started miniaturizing Earth capitals including Stockholm, Phnom Penh, Reykjavík, and Lisbon in stasis bottles. Ellis is really CAL-L, a Kryptonian who escaped Vathlo in a process that almost destroyed the island by shattering its containment bottle. Iph-Ro believes Cal-L is not working fast enough to return Vathlo to its correct size, and is holding the cities hostage as extra incentive.
•POWER GIRL, MARTIAN MANHUNTRESS, and ANIMAL MAN use Cal-L's experimental size manipulation device to shrink down and reason with Iph-Ro but will Power Girl be swayed by Iph-Ro's rhetoric and charm? 
•Animal Man deals with his connection to THE RED being severed by entering the bottle!
•Cal-L has good reason to stay hidden while working to protect Earth and enlarge Vathlo. He knows the force that stole the island also caused Krypton's destruction, a force that is very active on Earth and is observing this situation very closely.

•PLASTIC MAN, DOCTOR FATE, SANDMAN, and BLACK MARVEL (the Justice League and Justice Society members not affected) team up again but can they find a solution that doesn't involve cleaving Tefé down the middle King Solomon style? The villainous ANIMAL-VEGETABLE-MINERAL MAN may be their only hope!

"THE AZRAEL CODE" Part Three
This is an Easter unlike any other, as the Order of St. Dumas has infused its violent adherents with the resurrection and healing abilities of Jesus Christ himself! That is, if you prescribe to the heretical belief that Christ's healing was derived from a Czarian heritage, as the highest members of the Order secretly do! Now these radical Christian terrorists aim to use their newfound powers, stolen from the blood of a captured Lobo, to take over the world! But first, they must ritualistically sacrifice the only people who know their secret - the Justice League Dark! Yet as the Order uses its influence to rip whatever personal lives they've build asunder, the JLD doesn't run - they tackle the threat head-on! Can Azrael and Amethyst free Lobo while Swamp Thing and Zealot assault the Order's Vatican stronghold before Dr. Fate and Zatanna are burned alive for the crime of witchcraft? 
Plus, can the Demon, Etrigan, ever escape the Hell dimension that the Order banished him to? And can Jason Blood escape his more earthly dungeon before he is the next to be crucified!

SENTINELS OF MAGIC #24
Plot by NX01A
Script by JIM BUTCHER
Art by JEROME OPEÑA
"AND IF I LAUGH AT ANY MORTAL THING, 'TIS THAT I MAY NOT WEEP"
* We've all seen the April Fools' Day Ütübe video. Some poor screaming guy's tied to a pillar while robed cultists chant around an altar with his friend bound on it, then one of them plunges an ornate dagger into his friend's chest. The screaming guy wails for a good minute and pees himself before the sacrifice gets up and yells that it was all a prank. Or was it?
* BLACK ORCHID and THE SHADE travel to Arkham (Massachusetts, not Gotham) to investigate since the ritual is actually one from the Revelations of Gla'aki to summon Y'GOLONAC, a Great Old One and god of perversion and depravity, a level of realism most Ütübe pranksters thankfully can't achieve. The pranked guy claims the sacrifice's 'victim' hasn't been the same since the ritual, becoming fatter and more perverse with each passing day... but he's looking a little pudgy himself and keeps licking his lips while staring at The Shade. 
* The clock is ticking so KID ETERNITY and his keepers, ZAURIEL and THE CREEPER, are called in to help figure out which one of the two is about to become a grotesquely obese man, minus a head or neck, with a mouth in the palm of each hand and an appetite that can easily devour everyone from Dunwich to Innsmouth!

Bring me sunshine in your smile bring me laughter all the while
...Delirium and her friends have invited me upon a magical mystery tour of her Realm...
In this world where we live there should be more happiness
...she makes the case that only she brings true happiness and thus the most meaning out of all of the Endless...
So much joy you can give to each brand new bright tomorrow
...I decide I want to play the game, it makes me smile to see her joy at my participation...
Make me happy through the years, never bring me any tears
...perhaps she really is the most out of us all, despite seeming the least, she brings happiness to the greatest of us...
Let your arms be as warm as the sun from up above
...and so I sow what happiness I can through dreams! I compete with my sister to bring the most happiness to the world...
Bring me fun bring me sunshine and bring me love
...of course all good things must come to an end, permanent happiness is purely madness, Despair must have her place in the world too or Delirium would have no power at all, the game was fun...before all the Endless wanted to play...
