New Comics for Wednesday, July 22, 2026
/New Comic Book Day – Wednesday, July 22, 2026
This is one of those weekends where you’re going to wish you could clone yourself. We’ve got a full slate: a late-night cult classic on the big screen, a full day out in Eastern Market surrounded by books and readers, and then a perfectly curated night of live art, music, and storytelling to close it all out. It’s a full-spectrum Brain weekend—film, community, and creativity—all stacked back-to-back. Plan accordingly, hydrate, and maybe sneak in some reading time between stops.
This Weekend – Don’t Miss It
Alejandro Jodorowsky’s El Topo (1970)
Saturday, July 18 • 8:00 PM
https://www.senatetheater.com/events-input/el-topo-1970
Saturday night, get strange. El Topo hits the big screen for a surreal, psychedelic western that’s equal parts myth, madness, and cinematic experience. This is the kind of movie you don’t just watch—you absorb it.
9th Annual Detroit Festival of Books
Sunday, July 19 • 10AM–4PM

We’ll be set up behind Shed 5 in Eastern Market under the Green Brain canopies. Come find us, browse some great reads, and be part of one of the city’s most vibrant book gatherings.

Tune In, Stay Ahead
BrainScan (Live on YouTube)
https://www.youtube.com/live/V_DFEeh2WZ0?si=J2n-eJXgs09sxG_2
BrainScan is your weekly early access pass to what’s about to hit the shelves. We walk through the big releases, spotlight the books flying under the radar, and help you make sense of a packed week before it even lands. It’s part preview, part conversation, and part strategy session for building your pull list like a pro. If you like knowing what’s worth your time (and your shelf space), this is where you tune in.
Last Call (Fridays by 5PM)
Last Call is your quick, friendly heads-up before Final Order Cut Off. We highlight the books you’ll want to lock in, point out the sneaky good picks that might not last, and keep it short enough to catch on your way into the weekend. A few minutes here can save you a lot of regret later.
This Week’s Spotlight Picks
Star Trek: Red Shirts—Ghost of the 21st Century #1
Gerry Duggan flips the classic red shirt joke into something much darker. What starts as a grim discovery spirals into a conspiracy buried deep inside Starfleet itself. Suspense, paranoia, and a fresh angle on Trek lore make this one stand out fast.
Giant Robot Hellboy Returns #1
The fan-favorite giant mechanical version of Hellboy is back—and things are getting weird in all the right ways. Deep-sea exploration, interdimensional threats, and classic Mignola atmosphere combine for a story that feels both massive and deeply rooted in Hellboy mythology.
Terminal #1
A powerhouse creative team launches a brutal, high-stakes superhero story where the lines between hero and villain are anything but clear. Big action, bigger ideas, and a premise that promises consequences—this one swings hard right out of the gate.
Action Comics #1100
A milestone issue celebrating Superman’s legacy with an all-star lineup of creators. This is both a look back at what made the Man of Steel iconic and a launchpad for what comes next. Big, bold, and built to matter.
Godzilla Conquers the Multiverse #1
This is exactly what it sounds like—and it absolutely commits. Godzilla tears through the Marvel multiverse alongside some truly wild allies and enemies. It’s loud, chaotic, and built for maximum destruction. Subtle? Not even a little.
