Luke Cage
The man who made Luke Cage into the unbreakable hero he is today, Dr. Noah Burstein, has died. But when Luke heads to New Orleans for the funeral, it turns out there may be more to his father figure's death than he realized.

As things get hard in the Big Easy, Luke must put body and soul on the line to learn the truth and protect the innocent- but innocence is in short supply. And as strange forces align, Luke comes under attack from all sides! His adversaries are rich, powerful and nigh invincible- but he's Luke Cage. Bring 'em on!--from back cover.
Power Man and Iron Fist
Power Man must free the imprisoned Iron Fist, despite his team of former criminals possibly being more of a hindrance than a help.
Tarzan on the Planet of the Apes

Shaft
"After a high profile case that put him in the headlines, private detective John Shaft is looking for something low profile and easy that will keep him out of the spotlight and out of danger. Shaft takes a missing person case that proves to be more difficult than he initially thought. At the same time, he is hired to be a consultant on a low budget film that may or may not be based on his life, and proves to be as dangerous as any job he's ever had. But when there's danger all about, John Shaft is the cat that won't cop out--even if it means squaring off against sadistic gangsters that want him dead"--Excerpt of summary from the book.
Power Man, Iron Fist
"The best buddy team in comics, reunited at last! Luke Cage and Danny Rand, the Heroes For Hire turned Avengers, are going back to street level basics - and there's a mystery to solve that will draw in crime lords, hired goons and old friends! But which of the three pose the most trouble? When a villain gets her hands on the mystical Supersoul Stone, the Big Apple may end up poisoned by magic - unless Luke and Danny can put a stop to her plan. To find the stone, they'll wade through New York's seedy underworld in a flurry of big-hitting, kung fu-fighting action. This is one adventure that'll show that bromance ain't dead. Luke brings the power, Danny brings the fists - you bring the snacks!"--provided by publisher.
Super Justice Force
"Darius Logan is an orphaned teenager in serious trouble. Facing time in prison, he instead enters Second Chance, a rehabilitation program for ex-criminals operated by Super Justice Force, the world's greatest team of superheroes. Working side-by-side with reformed supercriminals--and the superheroes he idolized as a child--Darius creates a new life for himself. But when the forces of evil threaten to destroy everything around him, can a kid with no superpowers do anything to save the day? A refreshing new take on superhero mythology, Super Justice Force is the two-fisted tale of an ordinary young man's coming-of-age in an extraordinary world of professional do-gooders and sinister villains." --
War for the planet of the apes
"Driven from their woodland home, Caesar and his apes are still recovering from the takeover by renegade ape Koba.

Bitter Root Volume 1
In the 1920s, the Harlem Renaissance is in full swing, and only the Sangerye Family, once known as the greatest monster hunters of all time, can save New York -- and the world -- from the supernatural forces threatening to destroy humanity. But those days are fading and the once-great family that specialized in curing the souls of those infected by racism and hate has been torn apart by tragedies and conflicting moral codes. A terrible tragedy has claimed most of the family, leaving the surviving cousins divided between by the desire to cure monsters or to kill them; they must heal the wounds of the past and move beyond their differences ... or sit back and watch a force of unimaginable evil ravage the human race.
