New Comics for Wednesday, March 4, 2026
/New Comic Book Day
Wednesday, March 4, 2026
This week’s rack is stacked. We’re talking galactic underworld intrigue, psychological thrillers, horror folklore, cosmic DC finales, and an X-Men annual that weaponizes imagination itself. If you’ve been waiting for a week to walk in and say, “Okay, what’s the damage?” — this is that week.
Let’s get into it.
🎬 One More Chance to Catch Blade on the Big Screen
Our friends at the historic Senate Theater are closing out Black History Month with a screening of Blade
🗓 February 28, 2026
🕗 8:00 PM – 10:30 PM
Before there was an MCU, there was Wesley Snipes in a trench coat kicking vampires through stained glass windows. Stylish. Influential. Still hits like a roundhouse in a blood rave. If you love comics and haven’t seen Blade in a theater, correct that.
🧠 Brain Candy #76 – March 16
Brain Candy returns Monday, March 16 at 7PM, co-produced by the Dan E. Wickett Legacy Committee, the Brain Candy Network, and Green Brain Comics.
This month’s lineup:
Poetry – Cat Batsios
Prose – Ryan Becker
Prose – Ben Yost
Music – Drew Pineda
Visual Art – Anna Johnson
Brain Candy is a curated, art-forward showcase — focused, intentional, and centered on the work. Writers read original pieces. Musicians perform live. A featured visual artist exhibits their work with a brief Q&A about process and inspiration. No open mic chaos. No distractions. Just the art.
Mark it down. 7PM. Be there.
✏️ Drink & Draw – Thank You
Thank you to everyone who came out for our last Drink & Draw at Downey Brewing Company, co-hosted with Blick Art Materials and GBC. Sketchbooks were open, ideas were flying, and the tables were full of creative energy.
The next Drink & Draw is scheduled for Friday, April 10 from 7–9PM (second Friday of April).
More details soon — but pencil it in.
🎉 Free Comic Book Day – Saturday, May 2
It’s never too early to start circling the calendar.
Free Comic Book Day is Saturday, May 2.
We’ll be giving away a huge selection of free comics — 3 free books just for coming by.
We’ll also have local comic creators and community organizations set up under the canopy behind the store in the alley. It’s shaping up to be another big one.
Details are still forming. The free comics are not.
📺 On YouTube: Last Call & BrainScan
Last Call is your weekly early-warning system before Final Order Cutoff. It’s where we spotlight the books you need to decide on before they’re locked and potentially gone. Mission: eliminate regret. Watch it. Adjust your pull. Protect your future stack.

🔥 Next Week’s Spotlight Releases
Before we drop you into the full list, here’s what’s punching hardest:
Star Wars: Shadow of Maul #1
Benjamin Percy and Madibek Musabekov take us to Janix — a neon-lit planet beyond the Empire’s reach where crime bosses rule and survival is currency. Captain Brander Lawson and his droid partner Two Boots are navigating chaos… until the shadow of Maul stretches across everything.
Pulpy. Stylish. Dangerous. If you like your Star Wars gritty and criminal, this is your lane.
Narco #1 (of 5)
Marcus Wesphal has a rare form of narcolepsy — when he gets excited, he passes out. He’s built a safe, small life to manage it… until he witnesses a murder and collapses at the scene.
Now he’s suspect number one.
Doug Wagner and Daniel Hillyard deliver a thriller built on tension, vulnerability, and momentum. A protagonist who literally can’t stay conscious has to chase a killer. That’s a hook.
Lands Unknown: The Skinless Man #1
Ben Stenbeck enters the horror-fantasy realm co-created with Mike Mignola with a chilling two-issue tale. A storm. A witch’s house. A merciless entity hunting for new skin. Warlocks who made a mistake they can’t undo.
Folklore dread. Candlelight horror. Mignola-adjacent atmosphere. Yes, please.
DC K.O. #5 (of 5)
Scott Snyder and Javier Fernandez bring the final battle for the heart of Apokolips to a head. Only one contender remains. To win ultimate power, you must confront more than your enemies — you must confront yourself.
Big swings. Cosmic stakes. A finale that promises consequences. If you’ve been following this, you already know: no spoilers, just impact.
X-Men Annual #1
When a new mutant menace called the Creationist forces artists to visualize monsters that tear through reality, imagination itself becomes the threat.
Ryan Stegman, Steve Skroce, Sanford Greene — superstar guest artists bring wildly different visual energies to a story where art becomes weaponized. Big concept. Big visuals. Big mutant energy.
And now…
