Hey Everyone, Welcome back to Comic Book Yeti's Picks of the Week. It makes me happy to see indie books like Assorted Crisis events get 2nd printings.

Superpunk isn’t interested in boring things like origin stories, though. It dispatches with this background nearly as quickly as I have here, using Alan’s podcast as an in-world device to get readers immediately up to speed before launching into a fight between Violeta and a tornado-earthquake-flood-sinkhole-monster wreaking order in the city: folding laundry, sorting parked cars by color, and replacing peoples’ clothes with gender-normative outfits from the “good old days.

Westside: Volume 1 is a perfect bound comic book containing the first two chapters of this moody small-town crime drama featuring two deputy sheriffs investigating a series of violent crimes in California’s Central Valley.

One of the great joys of a collection like this is watching Dorkin’s style develop and mutate in complexity, as he accumulates years of experience across minutes of reading time, like a timelapse video of radioactive, crystalline, fractal mold growing on an old, discarded issue of TV Guide.

Everytime I read/review a series from Papercutz, I am more and more impressed. The team at Papercutz ensures that a quality and entertaining story is presented within the pages. I'm a big fan of the character and world of Speed Racer. Its a character I've connected with since I was a child, mainly because its one that I was introduced to by my father and uncle. Little did I know that it was an anime, to me it was just a cartoon.

The story follows four young experiments made of human, animal, and machine called "amalgams," who were created and manipulated by a mad scientist named Cormac to serve his horrific obsession in abducting humans to make monsters.

Writer Ariel Rankhlin’s Snake Oiler contains multitudes. He can be cocky and over-confident, especially on the heels of his recent defeat by Speed Racer, but only towards other racers. To anyone else though, he’s thoughtful, kind, even a little vulnerable.

Leo Da Vinci, a new middle-grade graphic novel by Richard Ashley Hamilton, Marco Maltrone, and Dave Sharpe, coming from Papercutz follows, unsurprisingly, the young Italian polymath.

Hey Comic Book Yeti readers, I've got a new type of article for you. I looked though the movies confirmed to release in 2026 that have ties to comics, videos games or just really nerdy stuff like Star Wars and Dune. I have given each a rating from 1-5 Yeti Thumbs up, with 5 being the top hype level. Let me know what you think, agree or disagree. Which one(s) did I get wrong?

Ludo Lullabi’s return to art duties is a welcome one as this issue keeps the dialogue decidedly light compared to past issues and gives Ludo and colorist Mike Spicer space to really show off their combined talents in page after page of stunning action sequences. This issue isn’t just one big fight scene though,

In many ways a review of this book is probably superfluous beyond just confirming that it is indeed what it claims to be, which is a prodigious collection of Alan Moore’s early 2000AD shortform comics, a relatively obscure, but clearly formative period of his immortal oeuvre. As such, I am delighted to verify that this titanic tome does exactly what it says on the tin!
