The Comic Picks

SIX OF US #1

DARK HORSE $4.99

(W) Tom King (A) Gabriel Hernandez Walta (C) Jordie Bellaire (L) Clayton Cowles


FROM THE SOLICIT:

Chapter 1: “The Thing about me Dying”



Six actors built America’s favorite sitcom. Millions tuned in. Billboards lit the skyline. Then one of them died . . .


A beloved cast member of a hit ensemble sitcom dies under mysterious circumstances, sending shockwaves through Hollywood and revealing the secrets, betrayals, and desires lurking beneath the glittering facade. As the surviving cast members confront their past; old rivalries and hidden truths emerge and the line between life and performance begins to blur.


Tom King, Gabriel Hernández Walta, and Jordie Bellaire—creators of the Eisner Award-winning The Vision—deliver a brutal Hollywood noir: a story about grief, ambition, and the lies we tell to keep the show alive.


• From Eisner award-winning best-selling author of Helen of Wyndhorn, The Human Target, Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, Love Everlasting, Mister Miracle, The Vision, The Sheriff of Babylon!


• Seven-issue series.


FIXATION #1

IDW $4.99

(w) Amy Chase (A)Savanna Mayer


From the Solicits:

When superfan Taylor Van Owens wins a contest to stay in the legendary Mallard house—the most iconic filming location for the hit vampire book turned movie Blood Mountain—she and her best friend Karrah arrive in Vail expecting to sink their fangs into a weekend straight from a fangirl’s dream. The cast has reunited for a tenth-anniversary celebration, devotees have descended on the small town, and nostalgia hangs thick in the air.

But shortly before their arrival, a young woman is found dead inside the Mallard house.

The death is quickly brushed off as an unstable fan taking her fantasies too far, but rumors swirl as the police quietly open a murder investigation. With cameras rolling and ravenous Blood Mountain buffs to appease, production works overtime to keep the story from leaking, insisting the fandom is “one big family,” but unease spreads through the town. Resentful locals, jealous superfans, sensitive actors, and desperate producers overwhelm Taylor as she moves in a haze through meet-and-greets, vigils, and book signings. Every interaction feels loaded. Every corner holds a potential threat. Every vampire has a taste for blood.

And the killer isn’t finished. They’ll stain the town red to ensure they go down in Blood Mountain history. This isn’t just a random act of violence—it’s a crime of passion a decade in the making.

Blending true-crime tension with razor-sharp commentary on fandom and toxic addictions, Fixation is a chilling mystery in which everyone has a motive and the least threatening person in the room may actually be the most dangerous of all.




THE KARMAN BLADE #1

IMAGE COMICS $3.99

(W) Darcy Van Poelgeest (A) Ian Bertram (CA) Ian Bertram, Matt Hollingsworth

A BLADE TO FREE THEM ALL! A young man on the outskirts of a dying world is chosen by a blade forged of stars to slay the despotic deity, Kalu, and free the water he hoards in his Kingdom. Yet before the boy can begin his journey, he must first face the demons in his own life, and answer the Karman Blade’s call—“Are thou he, who taketh me in hand? Are thou he…who shall slay a God?”

The Collections Picks



LOWRIDER FOR SALE

DISNEY PUBLISHING $18.99

(W) Laura De La Cruz (A) Vanessa Morales


From the Solicits:

When Gabi’s beloved family car is put up for sale, she becomes determined to find a way to save it in this multigenerational story perfect for fans of My Papi Has a Motorcycle.


Gabi knows that Papi’s lowrider, Pico Nights, is more than a car. It’s a family scrapbook on wheels—a treasure trove of memories for her, Papi, and Abuelo Chucho. It chauffeured Gabi’s cousin to her quinceañera, rolled through years of Fourth of July parades, and was detailed most Saturday mornings by Gabi, Papi, and Abuelo.


So when Papi places a FOR SALE! sign on Pico Nights, Gabi tries everything she can to save their beloved car.


While Gabi offers her own money, organizes a community fundraiser, and even enters Pico Nights in a car show to try and combat the inevitable, she comes to realize that even though their time with Pico Nights may not last forever, the memories they’ve made in it will.



BARBARIAN BEHIND BARS TP

MAD CAVE STUDIOS $17.99

(W) Elliott Kalan (A) Andrea Mutti (CA) Francesco Tomaselli


From the Solicits:

A bloody barbaric blast from the creative team behind Maniac of New York! From beyond the limits of time and space comes a warrior whose quest against evil brings his strong arm and battle axe to earth—where he’s swiftly arrested and thrown in prison. Ignorant of English, short-tempered, violent, and with no allies other than his cheese sandwich-grilling cellmate and his cynical public defender, the barbarian must find a way to escape his cage before his greatest enemy returns from the dead to use the prison system against him! But can this mythic hero survive a world where a shower can become a death pit and a mystic gem of power is just so much contraband?



SEASONS TP VOL 1 SPRING

PRANA PUBLISHING $19.99

(W) Nandor Fox Shaffer (A/CA) Anthony Gonzales-Clark


From the Solicits:


SEASONS Vol. 1: Spring is a slice-of-life drama with superhero and supernatural elements, focusing on Fletcher Hart Iiams, a misunderstood young man who is running away from past miseries and himself as he struggles with being given a new set of powers with every seasonal transition.
