🌌 A Little Escape Goes a Long Way

There’s something quietly powerful about cracking open a good comic and letting the world tilt just enough to feel new again. This week’s New Comics List is built for that exact moment — a stack of stories full of imagination, momentum, and the kind of creative swing that reminds you why this medium rules. Take a breath, turn a page, and enjoy the ride. And if that spark gets you itching to connect, create, or just hang out with fellow Brainiacs, we’ve got plenty coming up right after this.

🎥 Fargo Turns 30 — Oh Yah!

Saturday, January 10, 2026 | 8:00–10:15 PM
Senate Theater, Detroit

Bundle up and head to snowy Minnesota as the Senate Theater celebrates the 30th anniversary of Fargo (1996). Darkly funny, deeply strange, and endlessly quotable, this Coen Brothers classic hits even harder on the big screen. Crime, chaos, and Midwestern politeness — ya betcha. 🍿❄️

📚 Into the Pages We Go

All that creative energy leads right here. When the lights dim and the covers crack open, it’s time to travel. Let’s dive into next week’s spotlight titles.

🐇✨ Alice Forever After #1

Wonderland never really lets go. Years after returning to the real world, Alice is pulled back toward a realm unraveling at the seams—just as the Cheshire Cat sets his sights on her daughter. Lush, eerie, and emotionally charged, this is a fairy tale sequel that knows growing up doesn’t mean the story ends… it just gets sharper.

🤖💥 Mega Man X #0

Charge your X-Buster and hit the road. This prelude issue kicks off the Mega Man X era with speed, style, and a rogue Maverick on the run. Slick future highways, big action beats, and classic Capcom vibes make this a perfect jump-on for longtime fans and new Reploids alike.

🚕🩸 AxiCab #1

Hop in… if you dare. In a decaying city where survival is pay-per-mile, a grim cabbie dishes out justice with a vehicle built for carnage. Equal parts grindhouse horror and surreal noir, AxiCab is loud, bloody, weird, and absolutely fearless—one brutal ride you won’t forget.

🖤👑 Knull #1

The King in Black returns—caged, weakened, and very, very angry. Al Ewing and Tom Waltz unleash a cosmic revenge tale where even nothing can be a weapon. Dark mythology, massive stakes, and venom-soaked menace make this a must-read for Marvel cosmic and symbiote fans.

⚡🔥 DC K.O. #3

The Omega Tournament hits its cruelest round yet. With the Elite Eight facing personal hells and tag-team chaos breaking loose, emotions shatter, alliances strain, and Apokolips watches closely. Big swings, bigger consequences, and only four fighters left standing—this one pulls no punches.

🚀 And Now… New Comics Await

That’s the lay of the land, Brainiacs. Take a breath, pick your escape, and scroll onward to the New Comics List — where the worlds get bigger, the worries get smaller, and the adventure starts fresh.
