New Series
Bloodland #1 – he United States is collapsing. And then there are the vampires. President Andrew Cross is deep into an unconstitutional extended term, seized and shielded by executive orders, martial law, and a stacked Supreme Court. With support splintering, Cross forges an alliance with a cabal of ancient European vampires. As the White Cell’s influence expands, the administration’s pursuit of power and blood purity transforms the landscape into a battleground between emboldened loyalists, aspiring demagogues, and colorful factions of dissenters. Against it all, Army veteran Heather Brooks is a lone wolf on a warpath to find and avenge her newborn son who’s been sacrificed to the state; and retired pro quarterback Son Cassidy rallies an idealistic resistance. As their courses collide, the two leaders will tilt the odds and change the shape of a cross-country war for the soul of a nation.
Inglorious X-Force #1 – CABLE returns from the future with a handful of clues…and gaping holes in his memory. An assassination is at hand, and it’s up to HELLVERINE, ARCHANGEL and his former teammate BOOM-BOOM to follow Cable’s lead into the fire. But who are they after, and what secret does Cable’s faulty memory hide? Be here for the ground floor of the mystery and strap in for the most extreme thrill ride in X-dom, as an all-new X-FORCE blazes into battle!
Psylocke Ninja #1 – Flashback to a time when Psylocke was reborn into the ultimate killing machine. What sacrifice did Betsy make to save the X-Men? Why did the Hand choose Psylocke to be their weapon? And what does it have to do with their former assassin…Elektra?! Discover the answers to these questions and more in a lost story from the X-Men’s past! The Artgerm Cover (shown above) is really good.
Rogue #1 – Rogue has an idyllic life with her sweet Remy LeBeau, but there are still skeletons in her closet…ones that come out when she least expects it. Rogue has worked so hard to leave her villainous past behind. Unfortunately, the past doesn’t stay in the past. What happens when it slams you right in the face? What past sin would make Rogue leave Haven House? Do Mystique and Destiny hold the answer? People love the Rogue/Gambit books, this could be another winner.
Notable reprints
Absolute Batman #1 10th Ptg – Crazy amount of printings on this book. I can honestly say I have been selling the previous prints really easily. This one may be worth grabbing a copy for later sales. (Currently getting $10 for the 9th prints which can be found easily.)
Absolute Batman 2025 Annual #1 – First print show up quickly. Going to grab a couple to stash for later.
Batman #676 Facsimile Edition – Classic Alex Ross cover. The beginning of the epic saga, Batman R.I.P.!
Superman #75 Facsimile Edition – People thought they were going to retire off this original one. Now there are tons of copies and reprints out there. But still a damn cool story.
Pick of the Week
Nightwing #134 Sweater Weather Variant – Hear me out. I know this may be a shocker to some people, but look at what the 2025 Sweater Weather and 2024 Sweater Weather covers are doing on eBay. There is a market. Now, sold out at Midtown and Third Eye, people are scooping them up. Prices on eBay are already as highs $16 for this one. Make sure to check Mycomicshop this week.
