The Amazing Venom #1
Writer: Jordan Morris
Artist: Luke Ross, Julius Ohta
Publisher: Marvel
When last we left the red-and-blue be-symbioted Fred Myers — formerly BOOMERANG, now COMEBACK — he was trying to keep his life uncomplicated. The last thing he wanted was to get caught up in the symbiote nonsense of Hela and Knull’s war over Earth… but the best laid plans of saps and symbiotes often go awry. Now, in the fallout, Fred and his symbiote, Passenger, find themselves on a mission way, way, WAY more complicated than your average Venorang can handle!
Hillbilly: The Treason of Twelve-Toe Maggie #1
Writer: Eric Powell
Artist: Eric Powell
Publisher: Dark Horse
There are many tales of Rondel the wandering Hillbilly, this is but one. Some years after the great witch war, Rondel, in order to save an old friend, finds himself in an uncomfortable situation—in the service of his former captor, Twelve-Toe Maggie. Will he break the magical tie that binds him to the twelve-toed witch or will the wielder of the Devil’s Cleaver be at her service forever?
The Lawrence Brothers: Detective Agency HC
Writer: The Lawrence Brothers, Berkowitz Brothers, Brian Yuran
Artist: Sean Von Gorman, Dario Formisani
Publisher: Z2 Comics
This is a project that has been 15 years in the making!
The Lawrence Brothers (Joey, Matt and Andrew) have toyed around with their own take on the Hardy Boys by creating a detective agency with a Hollywood twist This darkly funny graphic novel reimagines them as reluctant heroes battling a conspiracy that’s warping the very fabric of fame Set against the surreal backdrop of a corrupted Hollywood, The Lawrence Brothers: Detective Agency is a satirical fever dream about identity, memory, and the absurdity of pop culture.
Think Scooby Doo meets Barry meets Bojack Horseman, except instead of searching for criminals they are searching for lost child stars with cameos from some of your favorite actors from the 90s!
The Lawrence Brothers: Detective Agency is not a story I had on my bingo card for 2026, but damn am I glad I read it. The Lawrence Brothers, Berkowitz Brothers, Brian Yuran, Sean Von Gorman, and Dario Formisan deliver an absurd, funny, dark, and enjoyable story that was part nostalgic and part mystery with The Lawrence Brothers: Detective Agency. Now, what mystery is next for Joey, Matthew, and Andrew to solve. – CLICK HERE to read the entire review

Writer: Ram V
Artist: Various

Ram V’s Batman magnum opus in collected in one massive omnibus volume!

From Eisner Award-winning author Ram V, along with Simon Spurrier, Dan Watters, Rafael Albuquerque, Hayden Sherman, Stefano Raffaele, and many others, comes a dark opera told in three acts pitting Batman against some of his most terrifying foes, the mysterious Orgham family, and his own inner nature.
