New Comic Book Day – Wednesday, July 29, 2026
Whew. After a whirlwind stretch of events, markets, movies, and packed weekends, things are finally easing up just enough for us to catch our breath—and refocus on what we do best: keeping your summer reading stacks dangerously tall. Don’t get too comfortable though… we’ve still got some great stuff on deck as we slide into the second half of summer.
Coming Up Next
Tears of the Black Tiger (2000) at the Senate Theater
Friday, July 31 • 8:00 PM

A bold, colorful, genre-bending Thai western that’s equal parts romance, action, and visual spectacle. If you like your cinema stylish and a little off the beaten path, this is a must-see on the big screen.

BrainScan (Live on YouTube)
BrainScan is your weekly launchpad into the new comic week. We break down the biggest releases, highlight the books that deserve a closer look, and help you spot the gems before they’re gone. It’s part preview, part hang, and part strategy for making your pull list work smarter, not harder. Whether you’re a planner or a last-minute decision-maker, BrainScan gives you the edge you didn’t know you needed—until that one book disappears off the shelf.
Last Call (Fridays at 5PM)
Last Call is your weekly safety net before Final Order Cut Off. We run through the titles you’ll want to lock in, call out the sleepers, and keep it quick so you can make your decisions without overthinking it. A few minutes on Friday can save you a lot of “wait…that sold out?” on releasee day.
This Week’s Spotlight Picks
Predator vs. The Planet of the Apes #1
This is not a subtle premise—and that’s the point. A Predator loose in ape territory turns an already tense world into a full-on survival nightmare. Humans, apes, and Yautja collide in a three-way war that’s all teeth, claws, and strategy.
Dirt Beneath the Devil #1
A grim, slow-burn western horror loaded with tension and legacy. As June Buckley retraces her father’s violent past, something far older and darker begins to surface. This one leans heavy into atmosphere and dread.
Greatest American Hero #1
A return with heart. The classic underdog superhero story gets a new chapter, blending nostalgia with something more personal—a story about legacy, family, and one last shot at doing things right.
Queen in Black #1
Cosmic chaos at full volume. Hela and Knull collide in a battle of terrifying power, with symbiotes, gods, and everything in between caught in the fallout. Big, loud, and unapologetically over the top.
Justice League: Knight Vision Special #1
Batman and Lex Luthor teaming up? That alone should raise alarms. With a shifting villain landscape and new threats emerging, this one sets the stage for what’s next in the DCU with tension, intrigue, and uneasy alliances.
