ZERO GHOST

written by Justin Jordan; artwork by Brian Ching

An epic adventure set in a world where magic exists and is almost entirely dominated by criminals. Kira Kaine is out for revenge, even if it costs her soul. Literally.

For centuries, the Five Families have operated in the shadows, using hidden magic and sudden violence to dominate the criminal underworld. Kira is heir to the Kaine family, the strongest of them all. But on her eighteenth birthday, unknown enemies slaughter the Kaine family, intending to use Kira as a sacrifice to attain ultimate power. What they didn’t anticipate was Kira breaking free, leading to her being accidentally bonded to an angel of death named Shrike. 

With Shrike, she has the power to enact bloody vengeance on the people who betrayed her family, but every use of his power burns away a part of Kira’s very soul. Can she find the truth and her revenge before Shrike destroys her entirely?

Knight City #1 might feel familiar but delivers what could be an interesting new take on superheroes

Posted on by

A legendary hero is caught between two worlds. By day, he soars as a symbol of hope, but the moment he falls asleep, he enters a universe devoid of heroes and he leads a mundane life. As the pressure of his dual universes mount, his heroic self begins to crack, pushing him toward a mental breakdown.

In a world that measures the loss of human life that occurs when he takes one night off, the weight of his responsibilities becomes too much. Ultimately, he’s left with a choice: embrace his extraordinary abilities or seek solace in the ordinary.

Will he stand tall in a world that needs him, or find peace in a simpler existence?

Top Shelf Land Gigs, a Technology-Driven Dystopian Tale from Simon Smith and Mark Mosedale

Posted on by

A.I. took the work. Gigs replaced jobs. Ordinary people are left to scrape together lives in a world that’s no longer built for them. This is Gigs, a new graphic novel from Top Shelf releasing June 16, 2026. With a hard-won blend of biting satire and humanistic passion, two creators from the North of England weave together six divergent chapters into an extraordinary graphic novel. Gigs is both a powerful warning about the oppressive world to come and a defiant celebration of the humanity that will sprout up in the cracks from Simon Smith and Mark Mosedale.

In a frighteningly near future where Basic Income is supplemented by gig work assigned by “the app”…an octogenarian punk and a lonely young worker seek escape through music. A street artist makes art by night and paints over it by day. A has-been detective chases a case into a forgotten world. A drug runner makes a long, strange delivery. A writer marks her days on a decaying space station she can’t leave. And a refugee asks for help in the last free place.

Gigs will be available wherever books are sold, as a full-color softcover graphic novel (ISBN: 978-1-60309-593-8) as well as a digital edition, on June 16, 2026, for a list price of $24.99.

Thundarr the Barbarian #1 hits a bit of nostalgia but there’s some odd moments and bad dialogue

Posted on by

When a runaway planet hurtled between the Earth and the Moon, cosmic destruction was unleashed — and mankind’s proud civilizations were cast into ruin! Two millennia later, the planet is nearly unrecognizable — a harsh and savage realm where sorcery and super-science both reign over the powerless masses.

Now, rising up from their ranks, one man is breaking the bonds that restrained him. With the help of his faithful companions, Ariel and Ookla the Mok, he has dedicated his life — and the power of his mystical blade, the Sunsword — to liberating his world from the forces of evil. He is Thundarr, the Barbarian, and his story begins here!

Chef José Andrés joins the Marvel Universe with Spider-Man: Meals to Astonish

Posted on by

Next month, experience a heroic adventure that’s sure to satisfy your every craving in Spider-Man: Meals to Astonish #1! The first-of-its-kind one-shot will deliver a story by writer Steve Orlando and artist Roi Mercado that sees Spider-Man team up with a real-world hero—Michelin-starred and James Beard Award-winning chef, restaurateur, and humanitarian, José Andrés, alongside his fearless team at World Central Kitchen! Spider-Man: Meals to Astonish #1 will be the first in a series of one-shots this year celebrating José’s life-changing and impactful work to provide food and nourishment to communities in crisis around the world.

Comics crossing over with the world of food and chefs has been a popular thing lately. Marvel launched Meals to Astonish in August 2025 (which had the same cover as Spider-Man: Meals to Astonish) as a spin off of the T.E.S.T. Kitchen Infinity Comic which itself had releases going back to 2022. DC Comics launched their own Taste of Justice in 2024 and José Andrés was even a part of it in 2025.

In Spider-Man: Meals to Astonish, Peter Parker heads downtown to photograph the opening of world-class chef José Andrés’ brand-new restaurant at New York’s famous Mercado Little Spain but soon finds it crashed by an insatiable villain: Electro! The electric fiend came prepared for Spider-Man, so José must chip in with Spidey to save the day—and everyone’s dinner!

In addition to the main story featuring Andrés, fans will be able to experience the T.E.S.T. Kitchen Infinity Comic for the first time in print! The story follows Chef Anna Ameyama whose dream of running her own food truck has finally come true—until it’s crushed into collateral damage during an Iron Man fight! But when Tony Stark tastes the deliciousness he just devastated, he offers her a new job: as his personal chef! The best part? Anna’s recipes (created by Michelin-starred chef Paul Eschbach!) are included so you’ll see how surprisingly easy it is to eat like an Avenger right in your own home!

Following that, readers will witness the return of the most delicious hero in the Spider-Verse in a new SPIDER-RAMEN adventure by Ken Niimura that will leave your mouth watering for more!

And finally, True Believers can take a seat at Jeff’s Table, a new Jeff the Land Shark series by Gustavo Duarte! Jeff has captured the hearts of fans…now he’s going to win over your stomachs! Discover a Land Shark’s appetite as Marvel’s most adorable super hero makes a mess in the kitchen!

Check out covers by Mike Mignola, Giuseppe Camuncoli, and Peach Momoko and preorder Spider-Man: Meals to Astonish #1 at your local comic shop today! And stay tuned in the coming weeks for another announcement for what’s next for Meals to Astonish and World Central Kitchen!

Oni Press and Magnetic Press Unleash The Beast – The First English-Language Edition of World-Renowned Artist Frank Pé’s Final Graphic Novel

Posted on by

THE BEAST THAT INSPIRED AN ANIMATED SERIES, A FEATURE FILM, AND A VIDEO GAME IS MAKING HIS COMIC DEBUT IN AMERICA! Oni Press and Magnetic Press are releasing the first-ever English edition of The Beast by internationally celebrated creators Zidrou and Frank Pé. Featuring the creators’ heartfelt spin on André Franquin’s iconic creature, the Marsupilami, this touching graphic novel explores post-WWII Brussels through the eyes of a lonely young boy and his unlikely friend. The one-of-a-kind adventure begins when The Beast Vol. 1 debuts on May 12th.

The Marsupilami first appeared in Franquin’s 1952 Spirou as Spirou’s lovable pet. From there, the fictional feline and other members of the marsupilami species won the hearts of Franco-Belgian readers before evolving into a multimedia empire featuring an animated series, a feature film, and even a Sega Genesis video game. Now, Zidrou and Pé are throwing the adorable, playful creature into the harsh world of animal trafficking and post-war Europe. 

Captured in the heart of Palombia by Chahuta Indians and sold to exotic animal traffickers, a marsupilami lands in the port of Antwerp in the 1950s. Managing to escape, he arrives in the suburbs of Brussels and is taken in by François, a young boy who is a fan of animals and whose daily life is far from easy. François is picked on by the local kids, particularly because his father had been a German soldier, an unforgivable crime in those postwar years; a fact he and his mother cannot escape. Both are ostracized for their connection to past events.

Throughout his prolific career, writer Zidrou has written everything from humorous children’s series like L’élève Ducobu to emotionally rich, challenging graphic novels such as The Adoption. The Beast highlights the esteemed scribe’s dynamic range and shines a light on artist Frank Pé’s playful, expressive art that has earned him critical acclaim around the globe as a cartoonist and fine artist. Pé passed away in November 2025, leaving a highly respected body of work, including Zoo and his personal tribute to Windsor McCay’s Little Nemo. This graphic novel is the culmination of a lifetime of gorgeous art. Readers can see two masters at work when The Beast: Vol. 1 arrives in bookstores and comic shops on May 12th, with The Beast: Vol. 2 due out in June.

Doctor Doom Journeys to the End of Time and Space to Claim his Crowing Glory in Doomquest!

Posted on by

This May, behold what makes Doctor Doom Marvel’s greatest supervillain in Doomquest, a ten-issue maxi-series written by current Fantastic Four scribe Ryan North, following his masterful work on Doom in One World Under Doom, and acclaimed artist Francesco Mobili.

No one in Marvel Comics history has had greater triumphs—or more bitter defeats—than Doctor Doom. Now, see him embark on his most ambitious quest yet in this definitive new Doom saga from two industry superstars. A standalone, evergreen story, Doomquest provides a perfect introduction and all-encompassing exploration of the character as he journeys through time to achieve glory for Latveria—and the ultimate victory over his archenemy Reed Richards! It’s a wild and adventurous odyssey that takes readers into the heart of Victor Von Doom, across the edges of reality, into action-packed battles you can’t see anywhere else, and beyond! Fans can get a sneak peek at the series by picking up Armageddon/X-Men #1 CGD 2026 on May 2, Comics Giveaway Day, at their participating local comic shop.

THE DAYS OF DOOM!

Doctor Victor Von Doom is a great scientist, an unparalleled sorcerer and the ruler of his own nation.  He is, by any measure, a great man. And yet Doom wants more. And when Reed Richards – Mister Fantastic, his greatest enemy and eternal rival – is showcased at a prestigious international event to which Doom wasn’t even invited, Doom is outraged.

Reed shares his plan for his eventual retirement project: the total optimization of history. He intends to go back in time, to all the eras humanity wasted on war and conflict, and fix them, saving trillions of lives and ensuring humanity can achieve its greatest and final glory. The idea of Reed rewriting history in his own image is, of course, antithetical to Doom, and so he decides to do it before Reed does. But when the Fantastic Four intervene, Doom finds himself in a battle he never intended – across all of time and space! 

Check out Alex Ross’ cover for the debut issue along with variant covers by Fabrizio De Tommaso, Nic Klein, John Romita Jr., and an homage variant cover of Invincible Iron Man #149 by Luciano Vecchio. Doomquest #1 will also feature a Foil Variant Cover by Ryan Stegman and variant covers by Rose Besch, MR Garcin and Pete Woods. Preorder the series at your local comic shop today!
