New comic day is only a few days away and with a number of titles releasing it can be difficult to decide which comics you should pickup. So we are here to help. This week we preview Exquisite Corpses #1, A Vicious Circle HC, and more.

While we are not the official voice of your decision, we want to help guide you in the right direction for comics releasing May 14, 2025.

Exquisite Corpses #1

Exquisite Corpses #1

Writer: James Tynion IV
Artist: Michael Walsh
Publisher: Image Comics / Tiny Onion

Every five years on Halloween, the wealthiest families in America play a game. Twelve of the deadliest people in the world are dropped into a small town with just one goal: last killer standing wins. For the citizens of Oak Valley, Maine—this year’s unlucky arena—the goal is much simpler. They must survive the night.

The Cold Witch: A Tale of the Shrouded College #1

The Cold Witch: A Tale of the Shrouded College #1

Writer: Charles Soule
Artist: Will Sliney
Publisher: Image Comics

The Cold Witch is an icy tale of revenge and dark sorcery set in frozen Siberia—John Wick with zombies! The tale of a wronged woman who goes to truly desperate lengths to avenge her murdered love, The Cold Witch expands the “supernatural Mission: Impossible” conceit that readers found in Hell to Pay and The Bloody Dozen, while standing completely on its own. A blood-chilling adventure, perfect for horror action fans.

Huck: Big Bad World #1

Huck: Big Bad World #1

Writer: Mark Millar
Artist: Rafael Albuquerque
Publisher: Dark Horse

After being exposed as a super-powered person and hunting down the doctor who gave him — and his mother — their powers, it would seem like Huck could finally get back to the simple life he’d come to love, making folks in his small town feel safe and cared for by doing one good deed a day and being the real change anyone would want to see in the world. But then a mysterious man tells him he and his mother aren’t the only super-people out in the world; many are hiding, just like them.

Invincible Universe: Battle Beast #1

Invincible Universe: Battle Beast #1

Writer: Robert Kirkman
Artist: Ryan Ottley
Publisher: Dark Horse

Cursed with an unquenchable thirst for violence, Battle Beast searches the universe for the one warrior mightier than him—and a glorious death, his only reward. But even in a universe of mighty Viltrumites like Invincible and Omni-Man, it seems that no one may be able to stop the galaxy’s deadliest warrior…unless he does the unthinkable.

Superstars Robert Kirkman and Ryan Ottley present the most demanded Invincible story of all time, revealing the secret story of Battle Beast that’s perfect for any long-time fan (no spoilers!) and new readers alike.

A Vicious Circle HC

A Vicious Circle HC

Writer: Mattson Tomlin
Artist: Lee Bermejo
Publisher: BOOM! Studios

The genre defining, Eisner Award-nominated epic is now complete. Legendary artist Lee Bermejo (Batman: Damned, Joker) and visionary writer Mattson Tomlin (BRZRKR: Fallen Empire, The Batman Part II) join forces for an exhilarating, mind-bending time travel saga spanning from 22nd century Tokyo to 1950s New Orleans to the Cretaceous Era and beyond.

Shawn Thacker is a trained assassin from the future who seeks revenge on the only other man with his affliction—each life they claim propels them both through drastically different times, spanning the distant past and future.

As their destinies intertwine, these two mortal rivals find themselves locked in a battle of wills that spans millions of years… At stake? The course of history itself.

Night of the Slashers TP

Night of the Slashers

Writer: Cavan Scott
Artist: Paul Fry
Publisher: Magma Comix

The Purge meets Freddy Krueger!

Hill Creek is a lovely place to visit… except the one night of the year its citizens transform into bloodthirsty maniacs! Of course, that’s the very night Lara’s bus breaks down, stranding the disillusioned teen and her classmates in the secluded town. Secrets uncovered, terror at every turn–will anyone survive the night?
