Dynamite Entertainment's August Bat/Fury solicitations!

Looks like Comics Continuum is the first place to find the Dynamite August solicitations (as pointed out by "ChastMastr" on the company's message board).  Let's isolate our flawed heroes and see what we have to look forward to that month:

THE BLACK BAT #4
Written by Brian Buccellato, art by Ronan Cliquet, covers by Jae Lee, Ardian Syaf.

When Black Bat finds himself trapped by police who are determined to take him in "dead or alive", he receives an assist from an unlikely source. Also, a look back at the night that Tony Quinn lost everything.

32 pages, $3.99.

MISS FURY #5
Written by Rob Williams, art by Jack Herbert, covers by Billy Tan, Joe Benitez, Colton Worley, Sean Chen

In a future New York that's been turned into a war zone by a flying V the size of Manhattan, the truth is finally revealed to Miss Fury. Has her time travelling been real or is she insane back in 1943? And who, exactly, has been manipulating her throughout? With only a dead Nazi scientist as her guide, it's time for Marla Drake to decide what she is willing to fight and die for.

32 pages, $3.99.

MISS FURY DIGITAL #1
Written by Rob Williams, art by Wagner Reis, Johnny Desjardins, cover by Jose Luis.

Digital first! An all-new Miss Fury adventure never before seen in print! Miss Fury is back in time again! Or is she? Will Miss Fury be able to make it home for a nice long bath, or will she forever be transported? Find out now! This issues has all three digital chapters of Miss Fury in a new, never printed, super-sized collection!

32 pages, $3.99.

MASKS VOLUME 1 TP
Written by Chris Roberson, art by Alex Ross, Dennis Calero, cover by Alex Ross.

Before Superheroes, there were Masks! The Shadow. The Green Hornet and Kato. The Spider. In 1938, these masked vigilantes operated outside the law, working independently to strike fear into the hearts of evildoers. But when the corrupt politicians of the Justice Party transform New York into a fascist state run by mobsters, when an oppressive regime grants jack-booted stormtroopers free rein to imprison, extort, and execute the innocent, when the law itself becomes unjust -- justice must be served by outlaws! Outnumbered and outgunned, the legendary vigilantes emerge from the shadows to fight, joined by Zorro, the Green Lama, Miss Fury, Black Terror, and the Black Bat! Nine renowned pulp heroes, brought together for the first time in an epic conflict of Law vs. Justice!

200 pages, $24.99.
I ususally like to include a cover from each of the Black Bat and Miss Fury books, but the Fury ones weren't on display.

I'm not certain I understand what the Fury digital book is all about.  A new story but "all three digital chapters" in a collection?  Where did these digital chapters come from?  The digital version of the comic includes script pages.  Do they mean that they compiled those with a new story?  If so, how is it "super-sized" when it's listed at the usual 32 pages?

Lastly, stoked to see Masks referred to as "volume 1".  I choose to believe that this means there's a second volume planned for down the road at some point, hopefully one in which the pulp Bat is more prominent.
