Looking for the hottest comics dropping next week? 

Whether you're into cosmic adventures, horror, or indie gems, here are the most anticipated comic book releases you should have on your radar. We'll start with the top 5 and then the top 5 new #1s.
 

Before we get into the top five, I just want to highlight 3 indie comic books this week.


#1. Image Comics: I Was A Fashion School Serial Killer #1

Rennie Bethary has just been accepted into New York City’s most prestigious fashion school. Her designs are daring, edgy, and singular... and made of human flesh. Did we forget to mention Rennie is a serial killer who simply wants to be a fashion designer instead? Stupid, pesky, murderous urges!

#2. Oni Press: Plague House #1

HOUSES AREN’T THE ONLY THING THAT ARE HAUNTED. . . . This spring, architect of terror Michael W. Conrad (Wonder Woman, In Bloom) and 2024 Ringo Award–winner Dave Chisholm (Miles Davis and the Search for the Sound) begin a deep and disturbing excursion into 21st century–horror with a new kind of tale that will rebuild the four walls of the American ghost story from the foundation up

#3. Mad Cave Studios #1

Henry Hayes could have been the best baseball player anybody ever saw, if only his dark affliction didn't prevent him from playing in the daylight. But when the barnstorming circuit introduces a new novelty to the game — night baseball under the bright lights — will his dreams of playing pro ball finally be realized, or will his bloody past catch up with him before he gets the chance? From the midwest fields of the 1920s to the big city lights of today, Past Time is a small town thriller on a National scale.

Now, here are the top five most pulled comics of this week are:

 

#5. Miles Morales: Spider-Man #32


GOD AGAINST GOD?! NOT IN SPIDEY’S BACKYARD!

But Miles is WAY out of his depth! Even with THOR and HERCULES in his corner, Spider-Man may not have what it takes to overcome Ares’ own champion — and prevent ALL-OUT WAR!

#2. Ultimate X-Men #6


The shadow king returns... more powerful than ever! Will armor be the first to fall?

#5. Resurrection Man #1

HE'S BACK! Mitch Shelley, the Resurrection Man, has led thousands of lives — and with each unexpected death and resurrection comes a new superpower.

Follow the Resurrection Man through time as he fights against a monster of his own creation: Gashadokuro — a sadistic WWII internment-camp commander who has inherited a twisted version of Shelley's powers.

#3. Marvel Rivals #1

SPINNING OFF THE BRAND NEW HIT VIDEO GAME SENSATION! Tokyo 2099. The time rift has disrupted the Web of Life and Destiny, leaving the world's heroes to battle it out over the best way to fix it. One group, led by Peni Parker, wants to plug the Web into Cyberspace to repair it. The other group, led by Spider-Man, favors a more conservative approach of using Chronovium to strengthen the web and allow it to repair itself. The time rift makes rivals out of us all, but which team will overtake the other?



#2. Daredevil: Cold Day In Hell

HELL GONE COLD! After a horrific series of events, the world is in shambles. Matt Murdock is old, and his powers have faded to nothing. Matt will not, however, sit by and watch his fellow New Yorkers suffer, so instead of swinging around the city from his billy club line, he slings soup at a food center for the poor. But when a mysterious wrinkly old man interrupts a secret convoy causing an explosion, a deadly gas fills Hell’s Kitchen and this tale takes a turn that will change how you look at the Man Without Fear.

Vatican City #1 Review – Does Mark Millar’s New Comic Deliver? | Comic Book Review

 Vampires… they probably the most overdone concept right next to zombies and superheroes. Does Mark Millar stick the landing with his new vampire comic “Vatican City”, or does it kick my ass into wanting to read something else? Let’s chat. First, if you don’t know Mark Millar, he’s known for writing Kick-Ass, Marvel Civil War, Super Crooks, Old Man Logan, Jupiter’s Legacy, Nemesis, and a lot more comics. I’m a fan of Mr. Millar. He’s written a handful of my favorite comics, like Kick-Ass. I also want to mention that I was kindly given an early review copy from Mr. Millar himself and am extremely grateful that he was kind enough to give a review copy to a new reviewer without an audience… thank you. That is rarely done… with that being said, I don’t know if it’s a stand out amongst what I’ve read this year so far. I had to go back and read kick-ass #1 to understand my gut reaction and gripes about this story, but before I tell you about that, let me tell you what Vatican City i...

Resurrection Man Returns! | Comic Book Review

13 years ago after his New 52 series ended, the resurrection man has returned. I just finished reading Resurrection Man #1 and... Yeah, this run is going to be awesome. If you don’t know what his powers are, basically, when he dies he comes back to life with a new power that has to do with how he died. So, if he died in a fire he gets fire powers. Dies falling out of a plane, he wakes with the power to fly. He is an awesome cult classic character from the 90s created by writers Andy Lanning and Dan Abentt and artists Jackson Guice back in 1997. I haven’t read the original runs, but I’ve seen him pop through the DC multiverse. but I’ve got to say this comic is awesome. It’s raw, badass storytelling with some very interesting and captivating art. The art is not clean marvel boilerplate art, and I love that about this comic. It’s just its own thing that stands out amongst this week and possibly this year of new releases. The team behind this is writer Ram V, and artist Anand RK, I hope ...

Deadpool Kills The Marvel Universe Again and It Actually Works | Comic Book Review

Film companies realized they could make more money by making reboots and sequels to existing IPs. I think to be fair, comics did it first and still do it to this day… That brings us to Deadpool Kills The Marvel Universe One Last Time. Now, you’d probably assume by my opening statement that I hate reboots and pointless sequels that try to pull you in through the appealing nature of nostalgia, and you’d be right. HOWEVER, occasionally, there are times when the reboot is fun, even if it isn't necessarily warranted. Deadpool kills the Marvel Universe one last time is that occasional fun time. We open up on Deadpool, serious as ever not even quipping. Can I say this is my favorite trope lately? The hero loses their identifying personality or power, and they eventually get back because, of course, they do. It’s reaching a tipping point of being too much, but I’m enjoying it. Then Deadpool is recruited to do some killing. Even though he is reluctant at first, he is convinced in a very ...
