Werewolf By Night #1 – Jack Russell begins a new hair-raising adventure in this gripping new series from Michael Giacchino, director of Marvel Studios’ Werewolf By Night special. Since inheriting the family curse, Jack has fought to protect the world from monsters—especially himself. Now, as he prepares for the full moon deep beneath his home, he awakens instead in the dungeons of Castle Dracula! The king of vampires has sinister plans for Jack and several of Marvel’s supernatural mainstays, but our werewolf hero isn’t waiting around to find out what they are, plotting a breakout with help from another horror comic heavyweight. Giacchino lays the groundwork for something epic while still delivering plenty of vampire-versus-werewolf brawling to keep the blood pumping. A must-read for fans of Jack’s recently concluded Red-Band series.

News From The Fallout #2 – Mutant horrors emerge from the wasteland in the second issue of this stylish atomic horror tale by Chris Condon (That Texas Blood). After a rogue general's nuke lit up the sky in issue #1, the lone soldier who escaped the blast stumbles into Old Joe’s Diner to deliver a dire warning—one the townspeople are far too calm to hear. Meanwhile, irradiated zombies are closing in, and the uneasy peace of this tight-knit community begins to crack under the weight of suspicion, fear, and creeping dread. Artist Jeffrey Alan Love renders the world in stark black and shades of gray, creating a haunting, silhouette-driven landscape where horror looms in every corner. Condon’s writing is just as sharp, giving each character a distinctive voice and making this small-town horror story feel personal, immediate, and real.

Savage Wolverine #1 – Wolverine hits the road for another extra-gnarly, oversized adventure in this adrenaline-fueled relaunch by writer Tom Parkinson-Morgan (Kill Six Billion Demons) and artist Guillermo Sanna (Lovecraft: Unknown Kadath). Trying to keep a low profile, Logan once again finds trouble the way only he can—this time in the form of a grotesque new villain who leaps from host to host, warping innocent civilians into horrific, multi-limbed creatures. Instead of hunting the real monster, the authorities target Wolverine himself, forcing him to carve a path through ignorance and fear with the help of a gutsy reporter. The result is a smart, sharply plotted thriller packed with bloody action and body horror, brought to life by Sanna’s bold, visceral art style. It’s a standout debut that feels refreshingly different from other recent Wolverine outings.

Solo's Picks:

Savage Wolverine #1 – Tom Bloom, Devmalya Pramanik, and Guillermo Sanna team up for a wild, high-energy Wolverine story that stands out with both style and heart. Set sometime after the fall of Krakoa, Logan follows the trail of a mysterious force luring residents from a secluded town—only to discover a grotesque finger monster capable of twisting minds and bodies in terrifying ways. The creature design is disturbingly effective, and while the art leans abstract rather than hyper-detailed, it complements the surreal horror and chaotic action perfectly. What really shines is Wolverine’s characterization—ferocious in battle yet compassionate toward those he’s trying to save. Nearly every townsperson tries to kill him at some point, making this one of the most action-packed Wolverine books in recent memory, but the story also finds moments of genuine emotion beneath the bloodshed. This creative team has delivered something fresh, fierce, and memorable, and fans of the character shouldn’t miss it.

Spider-Man vs. The Sinister Sixteen #1 – J. Michael Straczynski and Phil Noto deliver a surprisingly heartfelt and humorous entry in Marvel’s “Marvel Tales” line with a book that’s far more about emotional resonance than superhero smackdowns. Despite the chaotic title, this is a slice-of-life story where Spider-Man and an absurd number of villains gather peacefully in a rare night of calm, giving way to touching moments and unexpected warmth. Noto’s smooth, expressive art carries both the comedy and sincerity with ease, and Straczynski’s writing taps into the humanity behind the masks. Standout moments include a silent toast between Peter and Otto and a quietly beautiful scene between MJ and Peter that closes the issue on a note of reflection. It’s a gentle reminder of why these characters endure. As this run concludes, anticipation for the upcoming trade is high—this is one every Marvel fan should grab, especially for the surprising cameos and genuine heart it brings.

News From The Fallout #2 – Chris Condon and Jeffrey Alan Love escalate their bleak atomic horror in a second issue that firmly cements News From The Fallout as a standout series. Following his deadly confrontation with corrupted soldiers, Otis Fallows urges the patrons of Old Joe’s Diner to prepare for what’s coming—but suspicion and paranoia hang thick in the air. The jagged, monochrome art amplifies the tension as we begin to glimpse the past of Rob, the diner’s owner, adding emotional weight to the story. Themes of regret begin to emerge as central, promising deep character studies amid the chaos. The horror intensifies halfway through, with the return of disfigured soldiers and a ghost from Rob’s past, pushing the book into full nightmare territory. It all builds to a chilling final page that leaves readers desperate for more. With strong character work and a creeping sense of dread, this series is shaping up to be one of the best books of the year—don’t miss these first two issues.
