New Series
Iron Man #1 – 8th Volume of Iron Man kicks off. The unapologetic Iron Man is a once-in-a-lifetime hero — but the beating heart behind the armor is a once-in-a-century genius. Years ago, Tony Stark was knocking on death’s door, so he created the Iron Man armor to survive! What happens the next time death comes calling? What weapon does he create then? What if…someone else creates it first? These questions have haunted Tony for years, a ticking time bomb inside of him waiting to explode. Femme fatale Madame Masque has also asked these questions, and with the power of Advanced Idea Mechanics behind her…she’s ready to create the next great weapon.
Malevolent #1 – Thirty years ago, we unleashed demons into the world. But humans can adapt to anything, even a demon haunted world. But now, humanity has created something new. A weapon that can kill demons. If she doesn’t kill us first. New ongoing by Justin Jordan. John Bivens and Felipe Sobreiro of Spread

For the Cover
Superman #34 Mario Foccillo Card Stock Cover – Just a different but very cool cover. I am getting signals from retailers this could be one to watch, for story and cover.
Justice League Unlimited #15 Ben Harvey Sweater Weather Card Stock Cover – Worth grabbing and holding, the sweater weather covers have historically done well long term
Feral #20 Movie Homage Cover – I have not seen a Halloween H20 variant before. Feral’s homage covers have been awesome.
Small Press Pick of the Week
Spirit Of The Shadows #1 – EMBRACE YOUR FEAR . . . THE SPIRIT OF THE SHADOWS DRAWS NEAR! From the darkest recesses comes the most visually stunning, outrageously otherworldly, and hauntingly heartfelt superhero-horror hit of 2026. Once, Erik Leroux was a mortal musician, selflessly devoted to his music and his true love, Katrina . . . until his sudden death plunged his soul into the carnival-like torments of the Spirit World beyond our own. Now, reborn as a phantom with fleeting memories of his life among the living, and forever cursed to bear the arcane costume his corpse wore to the grave, Erik will claw his way back from the infernal planes to uncover the mysteries of his own life . . . and avenge the dark sins that transformed him into the SPIRIT OF THE SHADOWS!
