It’s a race against time! When a disgraced member of a cryptid hunting squadron vanishes with a time-traveling apparatus, Slug Stephens must sober up from a decade-long bender to track down an all-too-familiar friend turned foe.
With a legendary lineup of cover artists, featuring Esad Ribíc, Brett Bean, Pete Carroll, Jorge Corona, and more, Jack Mulqueen (Nightlife Noir) and Edison Neo (TMNT, Godzilla) bring readers a stylish and hilarious adventure across treacherous jungles, frozen oceans, and deadly dive bars.
The deadliest assassin in DCU history goes to the Next Level in Next Level: One Shot—and uncovers a conspiracy that will change everything. It unveils a web of super-powered lies that stretches throughout the entire DC Next Level cast of characters…and points the direction to war on the horizon. This epic issue tells you everything you need to know about what’s next for Next Level…if you survive the experience. Next Level: One Shot is an interesting one-shot that kicks off the next phase of whatever DC’s plans are.
Written by Gerry Duggan, Next Level: One Shot feels like the sort of issue that’s released just as a major event has ended and the new comics spinning out of it haven’t been released yet. The story weaves conspiracies and mysteries as Deadshot takes on the role of sort of hero, trying to figure out what’s going on and delivering clues to readers to put together.
Duggan does a good job of setting up what’s to come and introducing some of the stars of upcoming series. At the same time, the comic explains some of the current situations and statuses in the DC Universe. Superman missing is an example as it allows Deadshot to operate but also why he’s not around to help figure some of this out.
What’s teased and shown is explained enough but exactly how it ties into the bigger DC story isn’t clear. Without giving too much away, the comic has a vibe, as of now, that’s similar to Marvel’s “Secret Invasion” storyline but using well established DC properties. How it comes together will be interesting but how the numerous comics such as Vixen, Etrigan, Doom Patrol, and the New Titans tie into it all will be the real excitement. The comic sets up readers to not trust anyone but the few we’re shown and told we’re able to (but do you really trust that!?).
The art by Fernando Blanco is really good. With color by Jordie Bellaire and lettering by Buddy Beaudoin, the comic’s visuals feel like a good mix of action but also psychological thrillers. The visuals nail down the paranoia of it all and also deliver a ticking time element that’s not explicit but the comic’s pacing and the visuals, create it. There’s a rushed element of it all, and that’s emphasized by Deadshot’s actions which feel less planned out and more rushed. There’s a hurried element to it all and the art really nails that down.
Next Level: One Shot is an interesting comic that might get new readers interested in what DC has to offer and should excite current readers showing them what’s to come. It also ends on a rather tragic note in some ways that makes what’s to come feel all the more horrific. Overall, while it feels like odd timing as to when it’s been released, it does act as a nice entry into the next wave of releases to come.
Foxholes and Casinos. Tom and his friends get pinned down during the Battle of the Bulge, forcing Tom to make a daring rescue as the battle rages, with luck providing the final verdict on heroism.

Sometimes you have to ask yourself which is harder: facing a three-headed hydra, or living up to your father’s expectations? Maverick has announced The Three Beasts Vol. 1, a daring and emotionally charged fantasy about legacy, rebellion, and the courage it takes to define yourself.
An exciting 256-page epic written, illustrated, and colored by Grovey Pascasio, with lettering by Buddy Beaudoin and Chas! Pangburn, The Three Beasts unfolds in an alternate historical, late-19th-century Philippines, drawing from multiple Philippine cultures, including Kapampangan, Tagalog, Tausug, and Meranaw. Blending cinematic dragon battles with intimate emotional stakes, the story reflects Grovey’s love of queer romance, complicated family dynamics, and mythic creatures, with a fantastical setting inspired by the lands around the Pampanga River and her favorite legend from Philippine mythology, woven with subtle personal touches throughout.
Ten years ago, the Great Tamers saved the people of Punong Panday from a giant hydra, turning the once savage beast into a peacekeeper. Now, these three men are known across the land as legends. But for Dima, Espie, and Keris, the Great Tamers are more than legends… They’re their fathers. And to become worthy successors, the young friends must each prove themselves in a physical contest against the hydra, Matutum.
Dima is too meek and untalented, especially compared to the short-tempered Espie. Even their cool mentor Keris never stood a chance at winning. When their dreams become a deadly game of pride, they have to find a way out together—with their blades drawn, and their fathers’ legacies burnt to ashes.
Draconic action, intimately written friendships, and a lush setting all come together in The Three Beasts, from debut author-illustrator Grovey Pascasio.
With expressive character design, woodcut-inspired art direction, and a diverse lesbian and trans cast at its heart, The Three Beasts delivers a fantasy that is as intimate as it is explosive. Perfect for readers of Nimona, Prince and the Dressmaker, Witchy, and The Well, The Three Beasts blends action, folklore, and queer coming-of-age storytelling!
The Three Beasts Vol. 1 goes on sale October 27, 2026, in paperback (ISBN: 9781545827635 | $14.99) and hardcover (ISBN: 9781545836026 | $21.99) formats, and is now available for preorder.

Díaz, lettered by Buddy Beaudoin, and designed by Tim Daniel, Project Perseus will bring readers a stylish and hilarious adventure across treacherous jungles, frozen oceans, and deadly dive bars.
In Project Perseus, it’s a race against time! When a disgraced member of a cryptid hunting squadron vanishes with a time-traveling apparatus, Slug Stephens must sober up from a decade-long bender to track down an all-too-familiar friend turned foe.
Project Perseus will debut this September with a giant 40 page first issue that will also feature a line of variant covers by a murderers row of legendary artists including Esad Ribic, Brett Bean, Jorge Corona, Garth Graham, and Pete Caroll.

Mad Cave Studios invites readers to experience the world of Sunder, one issue at a time!
Originally published as a graphic novel, Sunder Vol. 1: Small Beginnings arrives in comic shops this fall as an individual issue series from creator Pierre-Alexandre Comtois, featuring colors by Mark Englert and letters by Buddy Beaudoin. Blending fantasy, science fiction, and coming-of-age adventure, the series unfolds in a universe where magic and monsters exist alongside the farthest reaches of the galaxy.
This is the story of Zeek, a goat-looking orphan living in a monastery within the far reaches of the galaxy. For reasons he was never told, he is restricted from ever going outside the perimeters of the Monastery. Taking care of the library, he reads and transcribes books filled with heroes and adventures, yet never gets to have any of his own. That is, until one day when a magical book appears in the library and attaches itself to him… Magic. Sci-fi. Adventure. Monsters. Welcome to the world of Sunder.
Sunder #1 arrives with additional variant covers by Daniele Serra and Christian Ward, alongside a foil variant and blank sketch cover.
Whether discovering it for the first time or revisiting it in individual issue format, Sunder offers readers a richly imagined fantasy-sci-fi adventure filled with magic, monsters, and wonder.
Sunder #1 goes on sale September 30, 2026, with Final Order Cut-off September 7, and is now available for preorder.
A new performance drug called V-Gas is turning drivers into fearless, violent monsters, and after a brutal clash with the Crazy Mask Gang, Speed Racer may be its most dangerous victim. Racing harder, faster, and more ruthless than ever, Speed transforms the Mach 5 into a weapon, leaving wreckage in his wake. Now Racer X must make an impossible call: save his brother from the gas’s grip… or stop the demon on wheels before he destroys everything.
