💥 THIS WEEK'S SPOTLIGHT TITLES
🖤 ANCESTRAL RECALL #1 (of 5)
History is power — literally. When Melvin Waring’s wife vanishes, his gift for summoning actual Black historical figures becomes more than just inspiration — it becomes his only hope. This deeply original blend of speculative fiction and cultural homage comes from two Milestone Initiative alums, Jordan Clark & Atagun Ilhan. A powerful launch that feels vital and electric. ✊🏾✨
🧛♀️ CUL DE SAC #1 (of 4)
Forget block parties — the neighbors in this cul-de-sac are a family of vampires, and they’ve just turned their kids loose on the world. A summer campout turns into a blood-drenched rite of passage in Mike Carey’s gruesome new horror series, illustrated with surreal menace by Jonathan Wayshak. The kids are on the run — from hunters, the cops, and themselves. Sink your teeth into this. 🩸🌲
🌌 EC CRUEL UNIVERSE 2 #1 (of 12)
Buckle up for another round of mind-bending sci-fi terror. With a murderer’s row of talent — including Charlie Adlard, Ann Nocenti, Greg Pak, and David Rubín — this second volume of EC’s modernized horror legacy goes deeper and darker. Multiversal dread, remastered classics, and brand-new horrors await. 💀🚀
🎒 SUPERGIRL: COSMIC ADVENTURES IN THE 8TH GRADE (TP)
Super-strength can’t save you from middle school. Linda Lee (aka Kara Zor-El) tries to survive school hallways and intergalactic hijinks in this charming, colorful all-ages story packed with humor, heart, and flying cats. A perfect back-to-school read for younger readers — or the kid in you. 🐴📚✨
🔥 MARVEL RIVALS: HELLFIRE GALA #1
What’s a mutant gala without some ultronic interference? Ultron crashes Krakoa’s hottest party and makes a play for Cerebro in this chaotic, cross-dimensional showdown. Featuring Squirrel Girl, Rocket, Jeff the Land Shark, and the Thing (in vacation mode), this is high-style chaos with a side of heroism. Champagne meets shrapnel. 🥂🤖
Thanks for being part of the Green Brain community! Whether you’re heading out to Homecoming or cozying up with new comics and a cold drink, we hope you have a joyful, creative week.
