Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles x Godzilla #3
(W) Tim Seeley (A) Fero Peniche
Long ago, the Foot Clan was established to protect Japan — and the world at large — from the ongoing kaiju threat. As the years passed, this original goal was forgotten, and Shredder corrupted the Foot with his own sinister motives.
Now… Godzilla and its fellow kaiju have returned… and four teenage turtles are the world’s only hope.
In this issue: The Turtles go to Japan, and Shredder pushes his evil scheme to the next level by turning Bebop and Rocksteady big… really, really big. ALSO: The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles make a direct assault on Godzilla! But are they enough to save Tokyo?! Perhaps April O’Neil’s dreams of the Shobjin Twins will lead the way to reinforcements…
Godzilla #7
(W) Tim Seeley (A) Hendry Prasetya
A new story arc starts here! G-Force has one mission: Eliminate Godzilla and the rest of the kaiju threat. After discovering Jacen, the boy with the fire of Godzilla, they knew they had an ace up their sleeve — and they pitted the two forces of nature against one another.
Where Jacen and Godzilla once stood, there is now only Jacen. G-Force has ushered in a new era of global peace, and the world is eternally thankful. Godzilla… is seemingly no more.
But there’s a fire raging inside of Jacen. He sees the beast inside of his mind. Is it possible… this is all part of a larger plan? Is it possible… that Godzilla will return? As something new… something bigger? Something… entirely more powerful?
Find out what has become of the King of the Monsters in this brand-new story arc, featuring art by superstar artist Hendry Prasetya (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles x Naruto) and series writer Tim Seeley!
N.O. Place Director Dorothy Gale is a caring leader and she did warn them there would be primates, but Mari and Allen could never have prepared for this fight for their lives against swimming monkeys in the sewer system.
Meanwhile, the boss herself comes face-to-face with the Wicked Witch of the Deep. The wounds that follow will cut to the core, revealing an unexpected connection between N.O. Place’s world-saving efforts and the devastation at their doorstep.
And as the Old Gods work through Adamik to seize control of Chicago, it’s one step forward, two giant leaps back on Mari’s mission to make amends with her family.

Revenge runs in the family… Mad Cave Studios has announced its latest horror mystery series, Pretty Hate Machine, a familiar tragedy unraveling in decaying rural America. Co-written by acclaimed writer, actor, producer, and director Ryan O’Nan and celebrated comics writer Tim Seeley, with art by Hank La Marca, colors by Berlin-based illustrator Roman Stevens, and letters by Dave Sharpe. Featuring issue #1 covers by Todor Hristov and Michael Gaydos, with a retailer incentive cover by Rod Reis.
Thomas is in so much pain. As if high school wasn’t hard enough, when his father is killed in a freak accident, and his mother begins to take refuge in the company of his uncle, Thomas is visited by a ghoulish kid named Luther with knives for hands and rows of teeth like an ancient shark who tells Thomas his father was murdered and that anything his mother and uncle tell him is a lie. Thomas doesn’t know who or what to believe. Does he believe his friends, teachers, and mother, who tell him grief isn’t for the faint of heart, but it will pass? Or does he believe the demented Luther who pulls Thomas through a bloody whirlwind of conspiracies, vengeance, and slaughter, showing him the lies and corruption that surround him? Thomas must fight to discover the truth behind his father’s death, while struggling to keep his new friend from leaving a massacre in his wake. But that “truth” might be far more sinister than Thomas is prepared for…
Pretty Hate Machine #1 is on sale April 8, 2026, with FOC on March 16.
INGLORIOUS VENGEANCE! Cable returns from the future with a handful of clues…and gaping holes in his memory. An assassination is at hand, and it’s up to Hellverine, Archangel and his former teammate Boom-Boom to follow Cable’s lead into the fire. But who are they after, and what secret does Cable’s faulty memory hide? Be here for the ground floor of the mystery and strap in for the most extreme thrill ride in X-dom, as an all-new X-Force blazes into battle! Inglorious X-Force #1 is an entertaining start but overall feels a bit like a retread of a concept.
Written by Tim Seeley, Inglorious X-Force #1 dives into its mystery. We’re taken to a future where the first mutant President has been assassinated. By whom? Why? That’s what Cable is now trying to figure out and prevent it from happening. So, he pulls together a team, an interesting mix of Hellverine, Archangel, and Boom-Boom. Some have history with Cable, some have history with X-Force and no Cable, and one is a completely new member to the team. It’s an interesting combination of personalities, some show potential as really entertaining in just this one issue. But, the mission is one that is all too familiar.
Stop me if you’ve heard this before. A team member might be a traitor and an assassin… Sound familiar? It was the plot of Uncanny X-Men for quite some years and tension between Bishop and Gambit. Here, one of Cable’s recruits might be the assassin. Or, maybe it’s a complete misunderstanding of the clue Cable left himself? That’s the underlying story of this series as Cable and his team take on a new Mutant Liberation Front.
Seeley does deliver some interesting new wrinkles, like who the first mutant President is, and it has potential to make things interesting in a lot of ways. But, the comic feels a bit retro/classic in some ways with a pacing and plot that feel like something we’ve seen before, something familiar.
The art by Michael Sta. Maria is good. With color by Romulo Fajardo Jr. and lettering by Joe Caramagna, the team delivers interesting visuals, especially in the beginning while Cable is struggling with his time displacement. The comic also does a solid job visually and stripping Cable of all of his toys. While it’s part of the plot, the art really nails down how worn and unused things are, how out of date they are, and in some ways, how archaic. It feels like Cable relying on his last generation toys instead of having the newest physics defying gun. You can see and feel the grime as he sifts through getting prepared.
Inglorious X-Force #1 is a fun start and it has potential but it also is something we’ve generally seen before. It doesn’t break a lot of new ground and instead plays it rather safe in some ways. But, the comic is entertaining and there’s something comforting about this take. If you’re a fan of X-Force with Cable as its leader, this is one you’ll want to check out.
