🔥 Spotlight Titles for Wednesday, July 23rd 🔥
🦖 GODZILLA KAI SEI ERA #1
A bold new era for the King of the Monsters begins here! IDW launches its brand-new Godzilla universe with writer Tim Seeley and artist Nikola Cizmesija at the helm. The premise is brilliant: post-1954, kaiju have become a grim reality, and while Japan adapts to coexistence, the U.S. takes a more aggressive stance. Enter Jacen, a mysterious boy who may be humanity’s best shot—or its ultimate undoing. This series promises big action, deeper lore, and emotional stakes—perfect for fans of monster mayhem with brains behind the brawn.
👻 SPACE GHOST ANNUAL #1
It’s the ultimate cosmic showdown in a double-sized annual from writer David Pepose and artist Jonathan Lau! The Council of Doom may be vanquished, but now Tempus the Time-Master threatens the fabric of the fourth dimension. Space Ghost and crew must battle across time itself in a story too colossal for a regular issue. This annual delivers 28 jam-packed pages of classic pulp sci-fi action, gorgeously rendered with epic variant covers. A must-read for Space Ghost fans, new and old.
🌵 TEXARCANUM #1
Horror noir rides into town in this gritty debut that blends mysticism with cowboy cool. Writer Christopher Monfette and artist Miguel Martos conjure a dusty landscape where ghosts, gods, and ancient terrors walk the American Heartland. Cowboy arcanist Avery Belle is our eyes into a weird west full of monster-of-the-week tales, mythological echoes, and shootouts with the supernatural. If you're a fan of Preacher, Hellboy, or old-school pulp, this four-issue series could be your new obsession.
🧠 ABSOLUTE MARTIAN MANHUNTER #5 (OF 12)
The noir brilliance of Deniz Camp and Javier Rodriguez continues as J’onn J’onzz faces chaos in a city without power. Middleton is plunged into darkness, and the Martian Detective must wrestle not just with criminals, but with the darker urges that night unleashes in all of us. It’s a stylish, layered look at what happens when the lights go out and monsters come out to play. This series has been a cerebral, beautifully drawn slow burn—don't miss it as the mystery deepens.
🌑 X-MEN #137 FACSIMILE EDITION [NEW PRINTING]
A defining moment in Marvel history returns in its original form! Reprinting the heartbreaking climax of the Dark Phoenix Saga, this facsimile edition captures every ad, every caption, and every emotional beat from 1980. Written by Chris Claremont and drawn by John Byrne, this is where Cyclops, Jean Grey, and the fate of the X-Men are forever changed. Whether you’re a longtime fan or a curious newcomer, this is essential reading—a monument in comic storytelling.
And finally, a midsummer reminder: take time for yourself. We’re past the halfway point of the season, and life is always a bit too busy. Find a quiet corner, crack open a great comic, and let the panels pull you into another world for a while. Whether it's kaiju chaos, poetic cowboy demons, or spacefaring justice, the stories are here waiting for you.
See you soon, Brainiacs! 💚🧠
