New Comics for Wednesday, December 3, 2025
/🧠📚 New Comic Day – 12/03/2025
December arrives with a fresh stack of new comics and a weekend full of festive shop energy! Before we crack into next week’s biggest titles, here’s your friendly reminder that Shop Small Weekend kicks off Friday and runs straight through Sunday. It’s the perfect chance to browse, gift-hunt, mingle, and show a little love to your favorite local comic shop. Full details are on our events page—swing through and soak up the good vibes.
If you like staying plugged into the weekly flow of new releases, our YouTube lineup has you covered. BrainScan drops every Tuesday with a first-look rundown of the freshest books hitting the shelves, and Final Order Report gives you the lowdown on what needs to be preordered before the cutoff. Two shows. One channel. All the Brain Power™ you need.
Feeling creative? Our next Drink & Draw is just around the corner. Bring a sketchbook, and unwind with local artists in a laid-back, idea-swapping hangout. It’s our favorite bi-monthly tradition, and all the details are up on the events page.
We’re also gearing up for the next Brain Candy on Monday, December 15. This monthly showcase features a rotating lineup of local creators. If you’re looking for a jolt of creative inspiration heading into the holidays, this is the room to be in.
And for a sprinkle of seasonal magic beyond the shop, the historic Senate Theater is hosting a Rankin/Bass Holiday Shorts matinee—free for kids 12 and under. It’s a charming blast of nostalgia and the perfect way to share some animated holiday weirdness with the next generation.
⭐ Spotlight Titles for 12/03/2025
🌹 Briar: Night’s Terror #1
Writer: Christopher Cantwell
Artist: Alex Lins
The epic conclusion begins. Briar Rose and Spider finally grab a moment of peace—romance and all—in the mountaintop village of High Scrape, but the journey isn’t over yet. The Fallswitch Traps stand between the crew and the lair of Grendid, where one last spell threatens to restore her to full, terrifying power. With danger rising and the finish line in sight, Cantwell and Lins kick off the final arc with sharp emotion, creeping dread, and the sweeping fantasy drama that made Briar a breakout hit.
🤖🎅 The Terminator: Santa Claus Is Coming to Town #1 (One-Shot)
Writer: Paulina Ganucheau
Artist: Kendall Goode
HUMANITY IS ON THE NAUGHTY LIST. On Christmas Eve in Skynet’s scorched future, the surviving elders of the Resistance try to pass down holiday memories between drone strikes—but the younger fighters want to know one thing: how did that mysterious red-suited infiltrator bypass every guard, dog, and perimeter? And why do the stories match the glowing eyes and hulking silhouette now advancing on their bunker? Ganucheau and Goode bring phased-plasma holiday mayhem in the wildest seasonal one-shot of the year.
🃏💥 Giant Size Criminal #1
Writer: Ed Brubaker
Artist/Cover: Sean Phillips
Criminal is BACK—bigger and bolder than ever. This oversized special delivers a novella-length Ricky Lawless heist that sets the stage for the upcoming TV series, along with a Criminal tabletop RPG module by Kieron Gillen and Sean Phillips, behind-the-scenes notes from Brubaker himself, and a fully illustrated guide to the world and its key players. Whether you’re a longtime fan or totally new to the universe, this jam-packed one-shot is both a perfect entry point and one seriously killer holiday gift.
💥🦸♂️ DC K.O.: Superman vs. Captain Atom #1 (One-Shot)
Writer: Joshua Williamson
Artist: Sean Izaakse
Round 1 of DC’s all-fight month lands with a seismic first punch. Two titanic powerhouses enter the ring for a no-nonsense, spectacle-driven throwdown that hits hard and fast. Williamson and Izaakse deliver a crisp, explosive, self-contained brawl—no tie-ins, no homework, just pure superhero clash at maximum voltage.
🔮✨ Doctor Strange #1
Writer: Derek Landy
Artist: Ivan Fiorelli
Strange is stranded and the universe is simmering. After ascending to Sorcerer Supreme of Asgard, he lost his shot at both redemption and revenge when Loki murdered Thor, severing Midgard from the other realms. With nowhere else to turn, Stephen journeys to Alfheim to investigate a mysterious coffin that’s stoking tensions between elves and angels. Joined by Heven’s own Angela, Strange plunges into a conflict that threatens to ignite a realm-shaking war. Landy and Fiorelli open a bold new chapter that sends the good doctor on a true Journey Into Mystery.
