DC's 'Year of the Villain' begins its sinister conclusion! Lex Luthor has brought Perpetua back from her cosmic grave and restored her power! Now the Multiverse lives in fear that she might wipe out all existence. The only thing that could stop her are the forces of the Dark Multiverse- which means it's Luthor's mission to defeat the Batman Who Laughs! But if Batman and Superman couldn't stop him, what chance does Luthor stand? Spinning out of the end of the 'Justice/ Doom War' in Justice League #38 and the conclusion of the epic 'Infected' arc from Batman/Superman #5, DC's two top villains face off in a battle royal-and the fate of all reality hangs in the balance! 32 pages, full color.

The trail leads Lex to a lonely cell in the Hall of Justice - but it's not the good guys who come to stop him. It's more of the Batman Who Laughs' dangerous operatives! And if they couldn't resist the influence of the Dark Multiverse, then how can Lex? 32 pages, full color. Rated T+ Cover price $4.99. YOTV HELL ARISEN #3d: 2020, 3rd Printing.

Apex Lex Luthor's first run-in with the Infected didn't go as planned, and the Batman Who Laughs' influence is continuing to spread. Now Lex must find out who in the world can think like the Batman Who Laughs-and there are only two folks who come to mind. The first is Batman, who probably has his own ideas for Lex; the other is The Joker, who also likely has his own ideas, but who just maybe wants to see this twisted doppelgänger sent back to the Dark Multiverse he came from. It's a gamble Lex has to take, because the Infected are gearing up for round two! 32 pages, full color. Rated T+ Cover price $4.99. YOTV HELL ARISEN #4b: 2020, Written by James Tynion IV.

But the Batman Who Laughs has his own army of infected heroes. Six hundred sixty-six of them, all transformed into their worst selves. It's a final showdown between two of DC's most iconic villains, all to curry the favor of Perpetua. Whoever wins will take over the Multiverse alongside her. Does Lex ascend, or does he get laid low?

I’ve learned a lot from earlier mistakes and have not received neg feedback in over a year; even the ones I did get as a beginner seller were defensible and in all cases customer received full refund PLUS the items that were shipped…there is a “garage sale” culture element on eBay I’ve noticed, where Some people don’t want to pay anywhere near the value of items and are impossible to please.
