Batman/The Flash : The Button
by Tom King
A continuation of the story that began in DC Universe: Rebirth and introduced The Watchmen to the DC Universe. Batman found a mystery he can't even begin to solve--a strange bloodstained smiley-face button embedded in the Batcave wall. All analysis suggests the button is not of this universe ... so where did it come from? And who left it here? These are questions only the Flash can help answer. When the button is stolen by Reverse-Flash, Batman and Flash follow his trail to a parallel world, a twisted alternate timeline that shouldn't exist. Someone is sending the heroes on a bizarre trip through reality, showing them glimpses of fallen loved ones and forgotten friends--but who?

As the Crow Flies
by Melanie Gillman
Camp Three Peaks is a rustic, Christian summer retreat for teenage girls! A week of hiking, adventure, and communing with the God of its 19th-century founders... a God that doesn't traditionally number people like 13-year-old Charlie Lamonte among His (Her? Their? Its?) flock. The only black camper in the group, and queer besides, she struggles to reconcile the innocent intent of the trip with the blinkered obliviousness of those determined to keep the Three Peaks tradition going. As the journey wears on and the rhetoric wears thin, Charlie can't help but poke holes in the pious disregard this storied sanctuary has for outsiders like herself—and her fellow camper, Sydney.
