Welcome back to Spelunking the Solicits for the March 2026 Catalogs for books releasing in May 2026, where I pick 10 issues and 10 collections you might not have noticed are up for pre-order at your local comic shop or LCS for short.

Over the last few years Chisholm has produced some astonishing work. His Miles Davis and Charlie Parker biographies are gorgeous, and recently he provided cool and trippy visuals for Rick Quinn's Spectrum. Is Ted OK? shows every sign of being another triumph.

Penny's parents are like many of today's parents. One person works taking care of the family and one works at an office. Both struggle to see what stresses the other and possibly dimisses those stressors as they can't see what the other is going through. Not only that, the obsesssion that many of us have with our phones causes a rift between the parents. We could all take from this story and realize that we have to be present for those within our household more and leave the

The art is phenomenal throughout, and wonderfully contrasts with Van Gogh’s own art style, where his aesthetic is bright and soft, Sakka is dark and sharp, with occasional dissolving reprieves, where his interior life matches his artistic vision. Especially impressive are Sakka’s recreations of some of Van Gogh’s most famous works, re-contextualizing them within the world of the book, imbibing them with a delicate melancholy that suggests the difference between how Van Gogh s

From the moment you open the issue, Universal Monsters: The Phantom of the Opera #1 makes one thing immediately clear: this is not a comic interested in familiar rhythms. It asks to be read slowly, to be revisited, to be experienced through composition and page turns as much as plot. It is deliberate, formally ambitious, and closer in spirit to a curated gallery exhibition than a conventional monthly

2000 AD Prog 2471 Release date: February 25, 2026 Cover Artist: Cliff Robinson A maximum voltage cover from Cliff Robinson to kick off the new Judge Dredd story arc! Giambattista Vico, an 18th century sociologist, theorized that with each flash of lightning man relives their primitive terror of divine power. Dredd at least appears to be somewhat concerned! JUDGE DREDD // CLIMATE CRISIS - PART ONE Writer: Rob Williams & Ned Hartley Artist: PJ Holden Colorist: Jack Davies Lette

It acts as an homage to nostalgia for Star Trek the original series while also telling a much darker story. That a programmer who traps his coworkers’ consciousness in a procedurally generated game scenario based on the that show. In the shadow of that retro-futurism hides elements of The Matrix mixed with Ready Player One and that episode of The Twilight Zone with that terrible little god-kid.

The Thing on the Doorstep starts with a murder, as seen on the preview pages above. A gruesome murder, that I was surprised how it happened without warning. The story starts in 1933 with Daniel Upton shooting his "friend" (in quotes because, why would he shoot a friend) Edward Derby but then the story goes back 35 years to their first meeting and goes thru various points in their lives.

Hey Everyone, Welcome back to Comic Book Yeti's Picks of the Week. We've got picks from Image, Vertigo, Papercutz and UDON Ent each comic is under $5 and the collections under $20. Check them out below.

After last week’s grand finale we’re back in the business of building suspense and business is booming!

For fans of sword and sorcery Barbaric is one of the best options currently on the market. Moreci and Gooden have been reliably delivering one great story (3 issues usually) every year, and Barbaric now boasts a rich fantasy world, a large cast of thoroughly entertaining characters, and all the blood and humor you could want.

So, you are still intrigued after the first two days of my time at PAX Unplugged? Let's not waste any time and get into what Day 2 of the convention brought for me! Day 2 Don't get me wrong, there were some games purchased on day 2 of PAX, but this day was set aside for playing a lot of games! The large group of us had our typical routine of grabbing breakfast down at the Home2 Suites while we tried to outline our plan of attack for the day. We eventually made it over to the

Publisher: Invader Comics Release date: February 11th, 2026 Writer: David R. Flores and Jarod Hunter Roe Artist: David R. Flores Colorist: Lorenzo Scaramella Letterer: Letter Squids Editor: Barnett Brettler PRICE: $6.99 REVIEW Private investigator Randall Halsey could really use some friends to be there for him right now because it has definitely not been his day, his week, his month, or even his year. All he’s got instead is a missing young woman and enough cynicism to fill

The art is great. Really good character designs, lots of details. Tons of texture. There is not a wasted line in either book. If you like the comic art made famous at Image in the 90s, you will feel right at home here. If anything, its that style but with modern sensibilities and coloring.

2000 AD Prog 2469 Release date: February 11, 2026 Cover Artist: Mike Perkins Price: $2.99 digital, $5.49 print Subscription $10.99 Digital, $16.99 print subscription (4-5 issues a month) How about that cover by Mike Perkins! His work throughout this storyline has been beyond reproach and this is an especially delicious cherry on top. Somewhat reminiscent of Steve Ditko’s great “lifting sequence” from Amazing Spider-Man #33, way back in 1965, though more likely Atlas lifting t

Shin Zero is a book of combinations. It is French sci-fi cartooning and Japanese monster manga, slice-of-life meditation and high concept action-adventure, an entry in the 75-year-old tokusatsu genre and a profoundly modern story of gig-economy workers, and it is a synthesis of the talents of Mathieu Bablet and Guillaume Singelin, with Bablet writing and Singelin illustrating.

Two-fisted titanic team-ups abound in this truly twisted collection of Toxic Avenger tales, straight outta Tromaville, New Jersey! Having lived in New Jersey for 15 years now, I thought it was high time I let the Toxic Avenger into my life, especially with the tantalizing absurdity promised on the cover, and I am very glad I did.
