An issue pairing Azrael and Batgirl against the Joker in
the streets of Gotham City as "No Man's Land" nears its conclusion.
Reflecting the events of Detective Comics #741, Christmas in No Man's Land
finds the Joker taking instead of giving. When Batman learns that the Joker has
kidnapped babies from all over Gotham in an effort to "murder hope,"
it falls to Azrael and Batgirl to save them. But will even their best be enough
when the confrontation between good and evil reaches a shattering crescendo?
(32 pages, $2.25).

checks into it and discovers that they're all still behind bars. Who's behind
this new gang? And why do they look exactly like the old Royal Flush Gang, even
under the masks? (32 pages, $1.99)

Written by Grant Morrison; art and cover by Howard Porter
and John Dell.
Grant Morrison's ultimate JLA story continues with Part 3
of the 5-part "World War Three". As Luthor's new Injustice Gang tear
the JLA Watchtower apart, the true power behind the newly erupting global
warfare finally shows itself: Mageddon, the war-bringer, the anti-sun, the
ultimate agent of doom. Don't miss Batman's epic rematch with Prometheus. See
Metropolis transformed into the hive-headquarters for the new Queen Bee. Feel
the stars themselves shudder as the mighty Orion announces that "the blood-red
game of gods has begun." (32 pages, $1.99)

to build as a now-young JLA finds itself confused with Young Justice and wanted
for YJ's crimes. What's worse, their youth isn't limited to their appearances
--the team's maturity level has also decreaased. Can Kid Captain Marvel, the
World's Mightiest Mortal, help the World's Rowdiest Teenagers with a magical
trip to the Rock of Eternity, or is the JLA Jr. doomed to live a painful
adolescence? Meanwhile, Klarion completes his own mission: finding Amazo, the

A de-aged Batman can't let any of his enemies find out
what's happened to him, so he asks Tim Drake to don the mask of the Bat, while
he dons the Robin costume. It's an ill fit for both as they try to track down
the magician Zatanna, who might be able to reverse Klarion's spell. Meanwhile,
the Witch Boy pays a visit to the Penguin.
32 pages, $2.50, ships on March 22.

Written by Peter David; art by Todd Nauck and Lary
Stucker; cover by Mike Wieringo and Terry Austin.

The heroes regroup for a final showdown with Klarion and the Agenda, but it's
hardly a kiddie fight. The Witch Boy has a surprise planned with the villains
he's collected, but if that fails, the Contessa has an ace up her sleeve that
might surprise even Klarion. And there's one last twist at the end that will
make a lasting impression on Young Justice.
48 pages, $3.95, ships on March 29.
