Now, let’s take a look at some of the biggest new comic book releases coming this Wednesday, May 21st:

WHATEVER HAPPENED TO CRIMSON JUSTICE #1 (OF 5)
From writer Frank Tieri and artist Inaki Miranda comes a gritty, mystery-packed take on classic superhero mythology. When a long-forgotten villain returns with blood on his hands, it reopens the case of Empire City’s greatest missing hero—and asks whether a symbol of justice can ever truly disappear. Secrets, legends, and violence collide in this five-issue noir-flavored throwback.

SLEEP #1 (OF 8)
Eisner-nominated creator Zander Cannon (Kaijumax, Heck) unleashes a fresh horror mystery about a man haunted by the monster he becomes—literally—every time he falls asleep. Gruesome, gripping, and gorgeously drawn, this one’s for fans of psychological horror with a twist of the surreal.

ROBOWOLF #1
Buckle up for a high-octane, grindhouse-style sci-fi crime story from creator Jake Smith. Robo Wolf is a cyborg outlaw trying to save his kidnapped daughter by delivering stolen loot to a violent warlord—but the road is littered with cannibals, ninjas, and robots with bad attitudes. Loud, fast, and over-the-top fun.

SUPERMAN UNLIMITED #1
Dan Slott (The Superior Spider-Man) makes his DC debut alongside Rafael Albuquerque (American Vampire) for a bold new Superman series! A green-glowing threat arrives on Earth, tucked inside a massive asteroid, and it may take everything the Man of Steel has to survive it. Big action, classic heroics, and fresh direction—this is a can't-miss launch for any Superman fan.

SPIDER-MAN & WOLVERINE #1
Two Marvel icons. One killer team-up. Marc Guggenheim and Kaare Andrews bring Peter Parker and Logan together for a fast-paced, sharp-witted, action-heavy buddy story full of claws, quips, and chaos. What brings Spidey and Wolvie into the same crosshairs? That’s for you to find out when you grab this explosive debut.

Whether you're chasing kaiju crime noir, superpowered mysteries, or action-packed team-ups, there’s something new for every kind of reader this week at Green Brain Comics.
