New Comics for Wednesday, April 1, 2026
/
New Comic Book Day – April 1st, 2026
No Foolin’… This Week Is Stacked
April Fool’s Day lands on New Comic Book Day this year—which feels fitting, because if you think you’re just “stopping in for one book,” you might be underestimating the situation.
No tricks here though. Just a dangerously good lineup, a packed calendar, and more reasons than usual to make Green Brain your weekly ritual.
Meanwhile, Out in the Real World…
Before we even hit Wednesday, there’s some serious classic cinema heat lighting up Detroit:
Barbara Stanwyck Weekend at the Senate Theater
📍 Saturday, March 28
Meet John Doe – 3:00 PM
Double Indemnity – 8:00 PM
If you like your stories sharp, shadowy, and morally complicated… this is essential viewing. Noir before comics figured out how to noir.
The Calendar Is Getting Crowded (In a Good Way)
✏️ East Dearborn Drink & Draw – April 10
Creativity doesn’t need a spotlight—it just needs a table and some co-conspirators.
Join us at Downey Brewing Company for a laid-back, welcoming night of sketching, experimenting, and swapping ideas. All skill levels welcome—whether you’re grinding on a masterpiece or doodling weird little goblins in the margins.

Inspiration from Green Brain Comics
Prompts, exercises, and good conversation
Food-friendly venue, so bring your favorites
Next session after that: June 12. But don’t skip this one—you’ll regret it in a very specific, artsy way.
🦸♀️ Superman Day Goes Supergirl – April 18 (12–7 PM)
This year, Supergirl takes the spotlight—and she’s not asking for permission.
FREE specially marked Supergirl & Superman comics
Exclusive Superman Day editions (while supplies last)
Discounts on select Kryptonian greatness
It’s cape season. Dress accordingly.
🧠 Brain Candy #77 – April 20
Mark it. Circle it. Tattoo it backwards on your forehead if that helps.
Brain Candy returns with another deep dive into the stuff that fuels your imagination and fries your circuits—in the best possible way.
📡 BrainScan Incoming: Prepare Yourself
The next episode of BrainScan is lining up its shot—and like a certain Man Without Fear, it’s not just making noise, it’s dialing in with purpose.
This isn’t just a YouTube show. It’s a signal for the curious, a spotlight for the strange, and a quiet pulse in the dark for the comic-obsessed to follow.
We tune into what matters, what’s unexpected, and what deserves your attention—guiding you through the chaos of the racks before it hits your pull list, whether you saw it coming or not.
👉 Watch it.
👉 Share it.
👉 Argue with it.
👉 Then come into the shop and continue the conversation like civilized chaos goblins.
⚠️ LAST CALL orders due Sunday by midnight
The Last Call: Final Order Report is going on a brief hiatus until after Free Comic Book Day—but let’s be crystal clear:
Last Call ordering is VERY MUCH still happening.
🕛 Deadline: Sunday, March 29 – End of Day
Place your orders through ComicHub (app or website) to lock in your copies.
After that?
Shelf copies only.
And mercy is in short supply.
🔥 Next Week’s Heavy Hitters (You’ve Been Warned)
Before we roll into the full list, let’s talk about the books that are about to dominate conversations—and disappear off shelves.
⚔️ Groo: The Prophecy #1
Sergio Aragonés returns with the wandering force of chaos himself. Groo and Rufferto set sail (again) to escape the consequences of Groo being… Groo. Which, historically, never works. Expect brilliance, absurdity, and destruction delivered with surgical silliness.
👽 Alien: King Killer #1
This isn’t survival horror. This is aftermath horror.
Humanity has already lost. What’s left is desperation, power struggles, and something even worse lurking behind the supposed saviors. Dark, brutal, and loaded with tension—this is the Alien universe going for the throat.
♠️ Royals #1 (of 6)
Telepathic twins. High-stakes poker hustles. Seoul’s deadliest criminal syndicate.
This one’s slick. Stylish. Dangerous. A crime story with a psychic twist that feels like it’s always one step ahead of you.
📘 Ghost Machine: The Official Guidebook #1
Lore fiends, rejoice.
This is your deep dive into the Unnamed Universe—packed with secrets, history, and breadcrumbs for what’s coming next. If you’ve been riding the Ghost Machine wave, this is required reading.
🔄 Bizarro: Year None #1
Kevin Smith and Nick Pitarra take a swing at the most beautifully broken mind in comics.
Expect weird logic, backward truths, and a story that somehow manages to be both ridiculous and insightful. Bizarro isn’t just comic relief—he’s comic distortion.
🥊 Daredevil #1
New creative team. New status quo. New problems Matt Murdock absolutely cannot punch his way out of.
Something is off. Something is watching. And something is coming for him in ways he’s not ready for. Fresh start, high stakes—this is where you jump on.
And Now… The Main Event
All that build-up, all that hype, all those carefully laid traps for your want list…
Here comes the full New Comic List for April 1st.
