New comic book day is quickly approaching and with a number of titles being released it can be hard to pick out which comics you should grab. This week in our featured comic book releases we include Self Help #1, Gatchaman #1 and more.
While we are not the official voice of this decision, we want to help guide you in the right direction for comics releasing June 26, 2024.
Self Help #1
Writer: Owen King, Jesse Kellerman
Artist: Marianna Ignazzi
Publisher: Image Comics
Down-on-his-luck rideshare driver Jerry Hauser’s existence is a bleak one… especially because every fare he picks up tells him how much he looks like uber-successful self-help guru Darren Hart. But after a twist of fate, Jerry is given the chance of a lifetime… which, if he’s not careful, may well end his lifetime. So begins this California noir-a rollicking and gleefully lurid pulp crime story for our time.
Gatchaman #1
Writer: Cullen Bunn
Artist: Chris Batista
Publisher: Mad Cave Studios
The triumphant return of Gatchaman, the iconic Japanese animated franchise of a five-member, bird-themed superhero team.
A mechanical terror has descended upon numerous cities and the world’s greatest scientists are disappearing. Our only hope: Science Ninja Team Gatchaman! As they battle these machinations from the international terrorist organization known as Galactor, their strength, willpower, and even vehicles are pushed to the absolute limit. If they fail…who’s waiting in the wings to take their place? The first exciting issue in an ongoing series that expands upon the original anime series!
Thanos Annual #1
Writer: Derek Landy
Artist: Sara Pichelli

Welcome to Infinity Watch! The Annual Event of 2024 starts here as Thanos, after the events of his series, goes off to find the Infinity Stones! He’s in for a shock when he discovers that the Infinity Stones have been incorporated into actual people like Star, Quantum, Overtime, Prince of Power and Multitude! But wait, there are six Infinity Stones but only five people listed?! You don’t want to miss this Marvel Universe-shaking saga!
Anansi Boys I #1
Writer: Neil Gaiman, Marc Bernardin
Artist: Shawn Martinbrough
Publisher: Dark Horse
New York Times bestselling author Neil Gaiman joins forces with Eisner nominated Adora and the Distance writer Marc Bernardin and Thief of Thieves co-creator Shawn Martinbrough to adapt Gaiman’s Locus and British Fantasy Award-winning novel as a comic book series for the first time-and soon to be a television show on Amazon Prime!
“Fat” Charlie Nancy leads a boring life as a boring Londoner, until he discovers two things: That his recently deceased father was, in fact, Anansi the Spider, the trickster god of African folklore, and that he has a twin brother he’s never met. Which kicks off a reality-spanning odyssey of sibling rivalry, jealous deities, and one poor soul who’ll realize what it means to be a god.

Writer: James Tynion IV
Artist: Martin Simmonds
Publisher: Image Comics
The Eisner-Nominated series returns with new story arc!
Confronted with an enemy intent on exposing their secrets to the world, the Department of Truth makes a shocking choice-go public first. But to understand Lee Harvey Oswald’s risky gambit, we have to return to where it all started: Dallas, 1963, as President John F. Kennedy’s motorcade passed the grassy knoll…
Multiple Eisner-winning writer James Tynion IV and acclaimed artist Martin Simmonds bring their celebrated series back from hiatus with the bang heard around the world!
