New Comics for Wednesday, May 20, 2026
/There’s a moment—right when you step through the door on a Wednesday morning. The faint mix of paper, ink, and something just slightly electric in the air. Shelves freshly stocked. Spines crisp. That quiet second before the hunt begins. Yeah… that’s the good stuff.
And it’s just the start—because beyond the racks, we’ve got a full week of events, shows, and community hangouts keeping the shop buzzing well past Wednesday morning… especially as we roll into our 41st anniversary right here on May 20.
Brain Candy #78 – Monday, May 18
Brain Candy returns this Monday at 7PM, bringing another curated night of live creativity into the shop.
Featuring:
Dennis Hinrichsen (Poetry)
Kayla Chenault (Prose)
Emilia Ward (Music)
Julianna Sanroman (Visual Art)
This isn’t an open mic—it’s a focused, intentional showcase of artists sharing fully realized work in an attentive room. If you’ve been meaning to experience Brain Candy, this is your moment.
Nacho Libre at the Senate 🍿
Our friends at the Senate Theater are celebrating 20 years of Nacho Libre with a special matinee screening.
Saturday, May 30 — 3:00–5:00 PM
It’s colorful, ridiculous, heartfelt, and absolutely meant to be watched with a crowd. Go for the nostalgia, stay for the vibes.
BrainScan – Tuesdays at 6:30 PM
BrainScan livestreams straight from the floor of Green Brain Comics on the eve of New Comic Day.
We crack open the week’s shipment, flip through the books, and give you a real-time preview of what’s hitting the shelves. If you like knowing what’s worth grabbing before the doors even open—this is your move.
Last Call: The Final Order Report
Last Call puts Dan in the hot seat for a focused rundown of everything hitting Final Order Cutoff.
This is your last chance to make sure we’ve got your copies locked in—especially those small press gems and sneaky variant covers that don’t always survive the shelf. If you’ve ever said “wait, did I miss that?”—this show exists for you.

Next Week’s Spotlight Titles 👀
Before we dive into this week’s full list, here’s what’s coming up—and what you might want to get ahead of now.
Seven Wives #1
A murder mystery wrapped in secrecy, control, and quiet rebellion.
Seven wives. One dead patriarch. And a wall of silence built from doctrine and fear. As detectives dig deeper, the truth begins to fracture—and what emerges is something far darker than anyone expected. This one leans heavy into tension and psychological unease.
Odin #1
This is not your mythological comfort zone.
James Tynion IV and Marguerite Bennett deliver a brutal, hallucinatory horror story that drags modern extremism into ancient darkness. What starts as a misguided journey spirals into something far older—and far less forgiving. Bleak, intense, and absolutely committed.
Zorro #1
The mask returns—and the stakes get bigger.
Howard Chaykin and Jorge Fornés bring Zorro into conflict with Napoleon himself. It’s swashbuckling, stylish, and built on legacy. Classic hero energy with a global scale.
Ultimate Impact: Reborn #1
The Ultimate Universe isn’t done yet.
Miles Morales is trying to control the future of super heroes—but the secret is out, and everyone wants in. New characters, new conflicts, and ripple effects that promise to reshape Marvel’s landscape.
Absolute Green Arrow #1
Strip away the gadgets. Strip away the wealth. What’s left?
A hunter.
This reimagining turns Oliver Queen into the center of a brutal murder mystery targeting the ultra-wealthy. Dark, grounded, and dangerous, with Dinah Lance caught in the middle trying to uncover the truth.
And Now… The New Comic List
That’s what’s coming—but there’s a full slate of books hitting shelves this Wednesday, May 20.
Scroll down for the complete list, and make sure to lock in your picks through ComicHub so they’re ready and waiting when you walk through the door.
You know the smell. You know the feeling.
See you at the rack.
