One World Under Doom #4 – The biggest comics event in recent memory kicks off its final act with a jaw-dropping magical showdown. Sorcerer Supreme Doom may have conquered the world, but he’s neglected the responsibilities that come with wielding the Eye of Agamotto—and now Earth’s defenses have collapsed, opening the door for Dormammu’s arrival. For the first time in this series, Doom finds himself scrambling to keep up, using every magical incantation and tactical trick in his vast arsenal in a desperate bid to survive. Writer Ryan North delivers his strongest script yet, packed with theatrical villain monologues and jaw-clenching tension, while artist R.B. Silva brings thunderous scale to the battle, filling each page with callbacks, chaos, and comic-book bombast. This issue is a wild ride from start to finish—epic, over-the-top, and absolutely unmissable.

Exquisite Corpses #1 – James Tynion IV kicks off a stylish, blood-soaked new thriller with Exquisite Corpses, where America's shadowy elite settle their political games not through diplomacy—but through death matches. Every five years, twelve families choose proxy killers to fight to the death, and this time, the battleground is Oak Valley, Maine. With a twisted side bet on civilian casualties, a nightmarish collection of themed assassins descends on the unsuspecting town. This debut issue focuses on world-building and character introductions, revealing the players—from deranged killers to unsuspecting townsfolk—before the carnage truly begins. Michael Walsh (The Silver Coin) brings his signature flair for eerie, expressive character design, while Tynion balances ultraviolence with biting satire. This is The Purge by way of The Hunger Games with a dash of The Boys—and it works.

Dark Regards #1 – The unholy fusion of stand-up comedy and Norwegian black metal explodes into absurdity in Dark Regards, a wild new series based on a true story. Struggling comic Dave stumbles into the depths of extreme metal fandom and finds unexpected purpose when a ghostly apparition tasks him with forming the ultimate black metal band. Thus, Witch Taint is born—from a joke email chain to something far more chaotic. This debut is low on stakes but high on laughs, especially for anyone who’s spent time in the metal scene or watched a friend dive too deep. With its tongue firmly in cheek and amps cranked to 11, Dark Regards is a perfect pick for fans of music mockumentaries like This Is Spinal Tap or Metalocalypse—equal parts hilarious, bizarre, and true.

Gwenpool Strikes Back? #1 – The wackiest Marvel character is back, and this debut is an absolute riot! From Cavan Scott, Stefano Nesi, and Matt Milla, the issue opens with a mysterious figure who looks suspiciously like Gwenpool but insists—loudly—that she isn’t. After dispatching a team of assassins in gloriously chaotic fashion, the focus shifts to the real Gwenpool, bringing us up to speed on her current status in the Marvel Universe. Scott nails Gwen’s voice, delivering her trademark fourth wall breaks with a smoother, less disruptive rhythm than some past appearances. Stefano Nesi’s art elevates everything, especially during the wildest moments—his knack for expressive faces and dynamic action gives the book its energy, making every panel pop. With a jaw-dropping final-page twist, this issue hints at major implications for the wider Marvel Universe, so Gwenpool fans and continuity junkies alike won't want to miss it.

Supergirl #1 – Sophie Campbell and Tamra Bonvillain breathe fresh life into Kara Zor-El in a charming and heartfelt relaunch that feels like a tribute to her Silver Age roots. Tired of chasing Superman’s legacy, Kara heads home to Midvale for a well-earned break—only to find an imposter has taken her place. While the doppelgänger seems to be performing heroic deeds, Kara’s alarm grows when even her foster parents are convinced the fake is their daughter. Campbell captures Kara’s mix of strength, vulnerability, and identity struggles beautifully, while Bonvillain’s vibrant palette brings warmth and personality to every page. Whether you're a longtime fan or new to Supergirl, this issue is a delightful jumping-on point that sets the tone for what could be a standout run.

I Was A Fashion School Killer #2 – Image's boldest new series continues with another sharp and stylish issue, following Rennie in the wake of her bloody outburst from the debut. Now in a new school and trying to lay low, Rennie surprisingly starts to adjust—but her anti-social tendencies and inner darkness remain. The issue smartly shifts from slice-of-life awkwardness to calculated violence when a friend confides in her about a near-assault, prompting Rennie to deliver her own brand of brutal justice. The kills are inventive and grisly, and the creative team clearly revels in each disturbingly cathartic moment. Michelle Madsen’s colors add extra depth and flair, giving the book an arresting visual style that matches its twisted premise. A mix of slasher horror, psychological drama, and coming-of-age chaos, this series is one to keep watching.
