🕯️ Buried Long Long Ago #1 (Mad Cave Studios)
Written by Anthony Cleveland | Art by Alex Cormack
Some ghosts refuse to stay buried—and in this chilling new horror series, they dig their way out in blood-soaked layers. Buried Long Long Ago takes inspiration from the real-life story of serial killer Belle Gunness, reframing it through the dark eyes of her own children. But this isn't just true crime—it's a twisted fairy tale where evil wears many masks. With gritty, immersive art by Alex Cormack, this first issue sets the tone for a chilling descent into folklore, fear, and farmstead murder. Think True Detective meets Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark. Don't read it alone.
☀️ Summer of Superman Special #1 (DC Comics)
Written by Dan Slott, Joshua Williamson, Mark Waid | Art by Jorge Jimenez
It's the official kickoff to the Summer of Superman—and it’s as big and bold as the S-shield itself. This oversized special is packed with energy, emotion, and epic setups from the heavy hitters shaping Superman's 2025. You’ve got weddings (John Henry Irons and Lana Lang!), cosmic threats, and multiversal shocks all rolled into one beautiful, bombastic package illustrated by the always-stunning Jorge Jimenez. Whether you're a longtime Supes fan or just curious about what’s next in the House of El, this is your jumping-on point for one of DC's biggest pushes of the year. Cape up!
🕷️ Web of Venomverse: Fresh Brains #1 (Marvel Comics)
Written by Matt Groom & Erica Schultz | Art by Chris Allen & Juan Jose Ryp
You wanted weird? You got it. Web of Venomverse: Fresh Brains is an unhinged, gnarly plunge into symbiote chaos—where familiar faces mutate and new monsters are born. Meet three bizarre new players: the twisted cuteness of Venomouse, the rebellious rawness of Katie Power, and an unexpected new spin on Eddie Brock. With killer visuals and a concept that mashes the Venom and Spider-Verses into a writhing ball of gooey mayhem, this one-shot is as fun as it is feral. Just… try not to get any brain matter on your pull list.
