Godfather Corleones Empire    
In The Godfather: Corleone's Empire, players control of one of the five different crime families in 1950s New York City. Everyone is vying to take over the main operations, should Don Vito Corleone meet an untimely end.
Over the course of four acts, players send out Family Members and Thugs to shake down businesses in order to earn money, illegal goods, and other benefits. They battle over territory in Turf Wars and get special bonuses for completing jobs for the Don. Players can add new Allies to their family business, if they're willing to pay heavy bribes, but having the most money is the key to victory. They have to decide how much they're willing to spend. During each act, it's also necessary to pay a tribute to Don Corleone, so players have to launder their money away if they want to be able to keep it.

After four acts, players receive bonuses for the Turf they control and the jobs they've managed to pull. The family with the most money will inherit the business of Don Corleone and take control over New York City.

Cyborg - Vol 2 - Danger in Detroit 
CYBORG VOL. 2: DANGER IN DETROIT is a thrilling series by animation writer John Semper Jr. (Spider-Man: The Animated Series) and artists Will Conrad (NIGHTWING) and Paul Pelletier (AQUAMAN).
 
Cyborg is the Justice League's most high-tech hero, but can he withstand an attack by another of his brilliant father's creations?
 
Captured by those he thought he could trust, Cyborg discovers a covert plot to use alien technology to start a world war. And when he winds up imprisoned in the heart of S.T.A.R. Labs, an unorthodox escape plan brings him face-to-face with Anomaly, a human-machine hybrid created by Cyborg's father Silas years before Vic Stone became Cyborg!
 
Only the now-missing Silas Stone holds the answers to the puzzle Anomaly presents, but before Cyborg can rescue his father, he'll first have to free the city of Detroit from the villainy of the bizarre Lord of the Rats!
 
Rocketing from the pages of DC REBIRTH: JUSTICE LEAGUE, CYBORG VOL. 2 collects issues #6-13.

Lost Boys 
In this follow-up to the 1987 cult classic film, horror masters Tim Seeley and Scott Godlewski wade into the bloody, badass world of California vampires for an all-new tale of thrills, chills, and good old-fashioned heart-staking action in THE LOST BOYS VOL. 1!
 
Welcome to scenic Santa Carla, California. Great beaches. Colorful characters. Killer nightlife. And, of course, all the damn vampires.
 
The Emerson brothers (Sam and Michael) and the Frog brothers (Edgar and Alan) learned that last part the hard way-these underage slayers took on the vampire master Max and his pack of punked-out minions, and drove a stake right through their plans to suck Santa Carla dry. After scraping the undead goo off their shoes, they figured everything was back to normal.
 
But now there are new vamps in town.
 
A coven of female undead called the Blood Belles has moved in, and they've targeted Sam, Michael, the Frog Brothers, and every other vampire hunter in Santa Carla for bloody vengeance.
 
It'll take every trick in the brothers' monster-killing book to stop these bloodsuckers from unleashing an entire army of the damned. And they'll need help from an unexpected source-a certain shirtless sax-playing savior known only as the Believer!
 
Do you still believe? Collects #1-6.
