New Comics for Wednesday, August 20, 2025
/🧠 Green Brain Comics – New Comics for Wednesday, August 20, 2025
This week’s pull list is a triple-shot of comic book adrenaline. We’ve got Rick Remender & Daniel Acuña going feral in Escape #1 🐺💥, Christian Ward digging into Event Horizon’s haunted past 🚀👁️, and a milestone Detective Comics #1100 🦇🎉 stuffed with A-list talent. Whether you’re craving deep-space dread, gritty animal warfare, or Gotham legacy, this Wednesday’s lineup is packed with must-reads that’ll thrill your heart and fill your pull box. Here’s the full rundown…
EAT YOUR YOUNG #1 (OF 6)
Writer Brian Buccellato and artist Mattia Monaco unleash Mad Cave Studios’ pulse-pounding new horror. An immortal clan’s decennial ritual demands blood 🩸 — and the cost to family, legacy, and loyalty is steep. Dark fantasy with real emotional stakes. Don’t read on an empty stomach.
EVENT HORIZON: DARK DESCENT #1
One of the week’s most unmissable picks — Eisner-winner Christian Ward (writing) teams with artist Tristan Jones and colorist Pip Martin to peel back the curtain on the doomed ship before the movie’s nightmare voyage 🚢💀. Cosmic terror, gothic chills, and pure unfiltered dread. If you thought you knew Event Horizon, think again — this is a perfect jump-on for horror and sci-fi fans alike.
ESCAPE #1
A top-tier highlight this week: Rick Remender and Daniel Acuña drop us into an anthropomorphic WWII revenge epic 🐾⚔️. Picture Inglourious Basterds meets Blacksad — except everyone’s claws are out. Brutal, beautiful, and emotionally loaded, Escape #1 is the kind of first issue that makes you rearrange your pull list.
DETECTIVE COMICS #1100
The milestone everyone’s talking about 🦇📜. Stories from Tom Taylor, Greg Rucka, Mariko Tamaki, and Dan Watters, with art from Mikel Janín, Álvaro Martínez Bueno, Amancay Nahuelpan, and Bill Sienkiewicz. Mystery, introspection, and legacy collide — topped off with a Frank Miller variant that’s pure Gotham mood. If you only grab one DC book this week, make it Detective Comics #1100.
JUSTICE LEAGUE RED #1 (OF 6)
Saladin Ahmed and Clayton Henry introduce a covert League so deep in the shadows 🌑🦸♂️ even Superman doesn’t know it exists. Led by Red Tornado, this spec-ops squad works in the moral gray — where saving the world isn’t always clean.
BLACK CAT #1
G. Willow Wilson and Gleb Melnikov give Felicia Hardy a slick new start 🐈⬛💎. Cat burglar, moral compass, and a tangled score with one of Spidey’s deadliest foes. Stylish noir with a wink, a quip, and the occasional priceless gem.
CIVIL WAR #1 – Facsimile Edition
Every page, ad, and letter column exactly as it was in 2006 📰⚖️. The story that split Marvel’s heroes — and its fandom — wide open. A perfect historical artifact for your shelf (or your unsuspecting younger cousin).
MARVEL ALL-ON-ONE #1
Writer Ryan North and artist Ed McGuinness deliver an experimental splash-page spectacular 💥🧱. Fifty straight pages of The Thing breaking the Marvel Universe’s furniture — and a few heroes — in style. Big, bold, and joyfully destructive.
ALL-NEW SPIDER-GWEN: THE GHOST-SPIDER #1
Stephanie Phillips and Paolo Villanelli drop Gwen Stacy into Earth-616 🕷️🎸 for a fresh start — new costume, new band, and a brand-new mess of her own making. Sharp, emotional, and very Gwen.
VENOM: BLACK WHITE & BLOOD #1
A stark, savage anthology 🖤🤍🩸 where every drop of ink and every splash of crimson counts. Multiple creators bring their wildest Venom nightmares to life in three colors — black, white, and symbiote red.
From Venom’s blood-slick anthology 🖤🩸 to Black Cat’s stylish new heist game 🐈⬛💎, this week’s releases hit every corner of the comics spectrum — horror, history, heroics, and high-stakes noir. But the standouts? The claustrophobic terror of Event Horizon: Dark Descent 🚀💀, the milestone gravitas of Detective Comics #1100 🦇📜, and the savage beauty of Escape #1 🐺⚔️. If you missed them on release day, now’s your chance to lock them in before the spoilers — or the sell-outs — hit.
