For this week’s installment of Preview Monday, we’re giving you exclusive first looks at CATWOMAN #13 and AMERICAN VAMPIRE: LORD OF NIGHTMARES #5.

It’s a game of chess (literally!) and Gotham is the playing board in this prologue to “Death of the Family” in CATWOMAN #13. Selina Kyle is hired to steal a giant chess piece and move its position. But the sacrifice this Queen of Crime needs to make may be too high. Who’s behind all this and how does he know so much about Selina’s past? Written by Ann Nocenti and illustrated by Rafa Sandoval and Jordi Tarragona, CATWOMAN #13 lands in stores on Wednesday. Click here for an exclusive preview of the issue.

It’s the explosive conclusion to AMERICAN VAMPIRE: LORD OF NIGHTMARES! Felicia and Hobbes have finally caught up to Dracula’s coffin in the middle of the Black Sea, but now here comes the hard part – actually destroying it. Left to confront Dracula alone, will Hobbes have the strength to kill the uber-vampire without being killed himself? AMERICAN VAMPIRE: LORD OF NIGHTMARES #5, in stores on Wednesday, comes to you from writer Scott Snyder and artist Dustin Nguyen. Click here to see an exclusive preview of the issue.
