Midnight (Predator tie-in, DH Press, 2006)

quickly became a favorite, spawning a hit sequel, games, and novels. In

canon.
The year is A.D. 2117. Humanity has seized the stars, using reverse-engineered
alien technology to explore the far reaches of space. On the eternally lit
jungle planet Midnight, the mission is to make the world suitable for
habitation. For years, humans have believed themselves safe from the sadistic
extraterrestrial hunters known as the Predators, but the settlers on Midnight
aren't alone: the Predators have been on the planet all along. When the ravenous
creatures attack an arriving spacecraft and take the settlers as both slaves and
prey for their hunt, the humans' terraforming project takes a backseat to a new
fight for survival.
Batman: Dead White (Batman tie-in, Pocket Star, 2006)
Who better than Batman to protect the dangerous city of Gotham, where even the
cops are crooks? But the latest imminent terror might be too much for the
burgeoning Caped Crusader, who is still carving out a place for himself in the
minds of Gotham's criminals.
There's a host of deadly new weapons in Batman's glittering, sinister city-in
the hands of a psychotic mastermind called White Eyes. With his radical murder
machine, the fiendish leader of Gotham's racist Bavarian Brotherhood can move
beyond dealing drugs and hot guns to pursue his real passion: the white
supremacist takeover of America.
The homegrown terrorists' first strike-at the heart of our nation's capitol-is
only weeks away. But first they'll test out their killer toys on Batman, who is
hot on the trail of White Eyes and his brutal militia. Ounce for ounce, muscle
for muscle, Batman's no match for the cunning villain and his wicked new
firepower. At least, that's how White Eyes sees it.
Batman has other ideas . . .
