Ultimate Wolverine #2
The Rasputins continue to test the loyalty and lethality of their Winter Soldier in Ultimate Wolverine #2, written by Chris Condon (That Texas Blood). Despite Logan's battlefield success, Eurasia’s leaders remain wary of Dr. Prostovich and her creation. To prove himself, Logan must face a final test—one that isn’t just about crushing scattered resistance forces, but a brutal contest where he must hunt or be hunted. This issue deepens our understanding of the Maker’s new world order, alternating between the Rasputin family's present-day schemes and flashbacks that showcase the Maker’s cold-blooded manipulation of history. Alessandro Cappuccio’s character designs stand out, and his depiction of the Maker may be the best the villain has ever looked.

Zatanna #1
Following the success of Zatanna: Bringing Down the House, DC wastes no time bringing the fan-favorite magician back for another limited series. Written and illustrated by Jamal Campbell (Far Sector), Zatanna’s latest adventure takes her to San Francisco, where she’s preparing for the debut of a brand-new act. Legacy played a major role in her last outing, and that theme continues as Zatanna finds herself tangled in the history of the Terpsichore Theatre. The venue’s past performances may be long forgotten, but one of its oldest acts, the enigmatic Lady White, is still waiting in the wings. Though separated by decades and death, this ghost of Old Hollywood glamour and excess reaches out to drag Zatanna and her crew into the astral plane. As she fights to save her team from cinematic nightmares, other dark forces move unseen. Campbell’s writing and artwork make this book a mesmerizing read, with page layouts that capture the magic of classic cinema in a way that feels effortlessly stylish.

The New Gods #3
For three issues straight, The New Gods has been the book I won’t shut up about until you read it. Writer Ram V dives deep into the mythos of Jack Kirby’s legendary creations, proving himself one of the rare talents capable of adding new elements to the canon that feel like a natural extension of Kirby’s grand vision. Mister Miracle and Baarda are still playing catch-up in their quest to locate and protect the newborn god, turning to their old ally, Oberon, for guidance. Meanwhile, Karok Ator finally arrives on Apokolips, ready to carry out his crusade against everything connected to the Source’s power. And in a mind-bending turn, Metron must answer to the Chronicler—a confrontation that forces the cosmic observer to question if he truly understands the events he has set into motion or their ultimate purpose. Artists Evan Cagle and Riccardo Federici bring a Euro-comic-inspired aesthetic that blends seamlessly with the classic designs of these legendary characters and locations. If you’re waiting for the trade, you are making a huge mistake. The New Gods is a visual and narrative masterpiece, and you deserve to experience it as each issue drops!

Solomon's Picks:

Doom Academy #1
Mackenzie Cadenhead, Pasqual Ferry, and Edgar Delgado deliver an exciting new chapter in the world of Marvel magic with Doom Academy #1! Now that Doctor Doom has claimed the title of Sorcerer Supreme, he’s taken over the former Strange Academy, promising a more efficient, disciplined, and powerful approach to magical education. Fans of Skottie Young’s Strange Academy will be pleased to see familiar faces returning alongside intriguing new students, each bringing their own energy and conflicts to the mix. This debut issue perfectly captures that “back to school” vibe—reuniting characters, establishing new dynamics, and sprinkling in just enough lore to hint at the bigger magical mysteries to come. While the first issue focuses more on setting up the foundation rather than diving straight into the chaos, it’s clear that the stage is being set for some major developments. I can’t wait to see more of Doom’s unique teaching methods (and hopefully some of his over-the-top magical flexes). If you love magical YA stories like Harry Potter or Hex Hall, this is a must-read.

Zatanna #1
Jamal Campbell kicks off an electrifying new Zatanna series, and it’s every bit as stylish and theatrical as fans could have hoped for! After last year’s phenomenal Zatanna: Bringing Down the House, this new mainline run delivers a grand spectacle right from the start. Zatanna and her crew are gearing up for an extravagant new stage show, but rehearsals are interrupted when an accident leaves her with a minor injury—and her crew member with a major guilt trip. Before long, the fabled ghost of the Terpsichore Theatre, Lady White, emerges from the shadows and abducts Zatanna’s entire team, forcing our heroine into a high-stakes pursuit across the Astral Plane. Campbell’s storytelling is dazzling, both in narrative and art, capturing every moment with cinematic grandeur. Every spell cast, every movement, and every expression is rendered with an almost hypnotic beauty. This is the kind of comic you’ll want to read multiple times just to absorb all the details. Trust me—this is one of the best books on shelves right now. READ IT.

Doll Parts #4
The penultimate issue of Doll Parts is here, and it’s easily the most harrowing chapter yet. Meg finally decides to take action against the nightmare unfolding around her, confronting Pigg’s twisted game head-on. But when she turns to her own family for help, she’s met with shame and betrayal instead of protection. The psychological horror in this series is deeply unsettling, making you feel every ounce of Meg’s vulnerability, fear, and frustration. Pigg’s relentless harassment, the judgment of those around her, and her own spiraling self-doubt create an overwhelming sense of anxiety that lingers long after you turn the last page. Luana Vecchio has crafted something truly remarkable here, with Doll Parts not only standing alongside its predecessor, Domino, but in some ways surpassing it. This issue ties together so many threads in unexpected ways, setting up what is sure to be a devastating final chapter. I am not ready for this to end, but I need to see how it all plays out.
