New Comic Book Day – May 13, 2026
Green Brain Comics Weekly New Comic List
We’re back in the groove after an incredible Free Comic Book Day—thanks to everyone who showed up, dug through stacks, and made it a full-on celebration of comics. Now we reset, refocus, and get right back to what we do best: fresh books, great events, and a packed week ahead.
Brain Candy #78 – Live Creative Showcase
Our next installment of Brain Candy is on the horizon, and it’s shaping up to be another stellar night.
Featured creatives include:
Dennis Hinrichsen (Poetry)
Kayla Chenault (Prose)
Emilia Ward (Music)
Julianna Sanroman (Visual Art)
Brain Candy continues to be one of the most unique spaces in the shop—an attentive, curated environment where artists share fully realized work across disciplines. If you’ve been meaning to check it out, this is the one.
Drink & Draw – June 12
Looking ahead, our next Drink & Draw lands Friday, June 12 (7–9 PM) at Downey Brewing Company.
No pressure, no expectations—just a room full of people making things. Bring your tools, grab a drink, and settle into a couple hours of low-key creative energy. Sometimes that’s exactly what the brain needs.
A Different Kind of Cinema
The Senate Theater continues its run of incredible programming with a screening of Cairo Station (1958) as part of the Arab Film Festival.
Saturday, May 9 — 4:30–6:30 PM
If you’re looking to expand your cinematic horizons, this is a powerful and influential film worth experiencing on the big screen.
BrainScan Returns – Tuesday at 6:30 PM
BrainScan is back on its regular schedule, streaming Tuesday evening at 6:30.
We’ll be breaking down the week’s releases, spotlighting what matters, and helping you navigate the racks before Wednesday even hits. It’s the pre-game show for your pull list—and it’s back where it belongs.
Last Call Is Back
After a brief hiatus, Last Call: The Final Order Report returns this weekend.
We’ll be zeroing in on all the new periodicals hitting Final Order Cutoff, giving you the rundown on what to watch and what to lock in before Sunday’s deadline. If you like knowing what’s coming before it lands, this is your lane.
This Week’s Spotlight Titles
Let’s talk about what’s hitting shelves right now—because there are some very fun books in the mix this week.
Hidden Springs #1
Retirement gets weird—in the best possible way.
A group of aging ex-Hollywood stars stumble across a baby kaiju on the run, and instead of panicking, they…adopt it? What follows is part creature feature, part character comedy, and entirely unpredictable. Kaiju chaos meets cranky grandparent energy, and somehow it works beautifully.
Conan and Dragonero #1
Sword-and-sorcery fans, this is your moment.
Conan crosses into a new world and meets Dragonero in a long-awaited crossover that delivers exactly what you want: brutal combat, uneasy alliances, and a looming supernatural threat. It’s classic fantasy muscle with a fresh international twist.
Lenore: Ghost Story #1
Roman Dirge returns to the wonderfully warped world of Lenore with a one-shot that leans into campfire storytelling—with predictably disastrous results.
It’s creepy, absurd, a little heartfelt, and completely committed to its offbeat tone. If you know Lenore, you’re already in. If you don’t—this is a strange and perfect place to start.
Barbara Gordon: Breakout #1
Barbara Gordon is in deep.
Framed, imprisoned, and cut off from her allies, she’s forced to navigate a brutal supermax system built to contain Gotham’s most dangerous figures. Mariko Tamaki delivers a tense, character-driven story that pushes Barbara into unfamiliar—and dangerous—territory.
Spectacular Spider-Man: Brand New Day #1
Back to one of the most pivotal eras in Spider-Man history—with new stakes.
When Spidey gets his hands on the Kingpin’s criminal playbook, it paints a massive target on his back. With enemies closing in from every direction, this story pulls threads from the past and ties them directly into Spidey’s future.
And Now… The New Comic List
That’s your spotlight—but there’s a whole lot more waiting on the racks.
Scroll down for the full New Comic List for Wednesday, May 13, and make sure to reserve your picks through ComicHub so they’re ready and waiting.
Back in the swing. See you at the rack.
