Rob's Picks:

Superman: The Kryptonite Spectrum #1 – Kryptonite has always been Superman’s greatest weakness, but when four new varieties enter our solar system, the threat level rises dramatically. Determined to stay ahead of Lex Luthor, Kal-El—assisted by Batman—risks his life to test each new strain on himself. The first experiment leaves him unstuck in time just as Solomon Grundy tears through Metropolis, forcing Superman to save the city while navigating a fractured timeline. From W. Maxwell Prince and Martín Morazzo, the creative duo behind Ice Cream Man, this DC Black Label debut stands apart from any other Superman title on shelves, pairing surreal, inventive visuals with sharp, distinct writing. Luthor is delightfully arch and menacing, while the Batman/Superman exchanges perfectly capture their pragmatist-versus-optimist dynamic without diminishing their mutual respect. An imaginative and ambitious addition to the Man of Steel’s mythology.

Ultimate Spider-Man: Incursion #3 – Miles Morales’ desperate search for his sister Billie takes him from Wakanda to Japan, where she’s held under the watch of the Silver Samurai in a secret facility studying the mysterious energy surrounding her. Behind the scenes, fractures emerge in the Makers Council as its members scheme against one another for control of the child. With no allies and little hope, Miles’ mission gets a jolt when he encounters Maystorm of the Ultimate X-Men—marking the first on-page interaction between these X-Men and the wider Ultimate Universe after more than a year of speculation. Writers Deniz Camp (Absolute Martian Manhunter) and Cody Ziglar (Spider-Punk: Banned in D.C.) integrate Peach Momoko’s characters seamlessly, while Jonas Scharf (Basilisk) captures their essence without mimicking Momoko’s signature style. With the Makers’ return looming, this series is setting the stage for a massive Ultimate Universe endgame.

Predator Kills the Marvel Universe #1 – Benjamin Percy (Hellverine) escalates his Predator saga to an all-out bloodbath in this crossover event that unites threads from his previous Predator vs. series. The Yautja return under a new king named Graveyard, clad in Wakandan vibranium and intent on turning Earth into a hunting preserve, with Kraven the Hunter serving as his ruthless game warden. What follows is a relentless gauntlet of brutal confrontations with Marvel’s biggest heroes—many of whom don’t make it out alive. No one is safe, regardless of popularity or power level, and the schlocky, over-the-top thrills are delivered on a grander scale than ever before. For fans of the earlier Predator crossovers, this is the carnage-packed culmination you’ve been waiting for.

Solo's Picks:

Fantastic Four #2 – The First Family’s return takes an intense turn as Sue Richards wanders a dying Earth billions of years in the future, the relentless glare of a red sun beating down on her invisible form. This chapter captures the dread faced by each member—Ben locked in a seemingly endless fight, Reed racing toward an impossible solution, Johnny facing what appears to be his end—but it also serves as a tribute to Sue, spotlighting her intellect, skill, and the role she plays as the glue holding the team together. The issue subtly underscores the Fantastic Four’s unmatched dynamic, where plans that would fall apart in other team books succeed because of their trust and bond. The art bursts with creativity in depicting their powers, and the brief appearances by Doom are pitch-perfect. With its combination of emotional weight and high-stakes spectacle, this run is shaping up to be something truly spectacular.

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers x Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III #1 – Ryan Parrott, Vincenzo Federici, and Raul Angulo launch the third team-up between these two powerhouse franchises with an opening that throws us straight into the chaos. Split into pairs, our heroes battle Zedd and Shredder’s forces across the globe, and the sheer scale of the threat quickly makes it clear this will be no easy fight. Federici’s art delivers big on character designs, dynamic fights, and richly detailed backgrounds, while the story closes on an unexpectedly melancholy beat that hints at deeper stakes than past crossovers. This creative team treats the material with a level of respect and narrative ambition that elevates it beyond novelty, making this an essential pick for fans of either series.

We Don’t Kill Spiders: Season of the Witch #1 – Joseph Schmalke returns to his genre-bending horror-fantasy world with a sequel that’s every bit as eerie and gripping as the original. Opening with a tense standoff between royal soldiers and a lone figure atop a hill—broken only by a devastating magical display from a hidden ally—the story quickly draws its protagonists into the service of a local Jarl. Schmalke’s gritty, rough-hewn art style enhances the unsettling tone, with exaggerated facial lines, crooked smiles, and wild eyes that give characters a quietly unhinged presence. His framing and use of shadow, particularly during a mid-book interrogation, heighten the tension beautifully. Long-awaited and worth the hype, this debut sets the stage for a chilling and unpredictable season—definitely one to add to your pull list.
