BEHOLD — THE TOWER OF BUBBLE! In his never-ending quest to discover new avenues for his evil schemes, Dr. Jumba realizes that there’s a huge reservoir of untapped potential all around him in the world’s oceans — if only its inhabitants could communicate with us “Dry Landers.” Animated by this inspiration, the bad doctor quickly creates a submersible machine that grants all marine dwellers the power of speech — only to have it hijacked by the irrepressible Experiment 626! As Stitch rides the Basic Underwater Translator into the briny deep, a thousand new conversations bloom in his wake (including some disconcerting discussions among disparate dolphin factions). And while Jumba and Pleakley race to recapture his rogue invention, this chatty new life aquatic is about to make its presence known — both above and below the surface! Amphibious authors CONNOR RATLIFF and JAMES III join artist GRETA XELLA for the ultimate undersea adventure in Stitch #7 — featuring fully submersible covers by EDWIN GALMON, JAE LEE & JUNE CHUNG, CIRO CANGIALOSI, and GEORGE KAMBADAIS!

HIDDEN IN PLAIN SIGHT! While Kermit the Frog continues his concussed convalescence on The Muppet Theatre’s green room couch, his alter ego Flip Minnow, P.I., is about to catch a break in his missing persons case beyond the wall of sleep. A mysterious package delivered to his office turns out to be his quarry’s diary, which gives the amphibious investigator a new set of leads to run down — including a revelatory encounter inside a skee-ball speakeasy! Veteran comics puppeteer ROGER LANGRIDGE leads readers deeper into The Muppets’ collective unconscious in The Muppets Noir #3 — featuring intriguingly analytical covers from both the author and guest artists JAE LEE & JUNE CHUNG!
An advance preview ofOdin invites readers to step into the dark world of the original limited series co-created by five-time Eisner Award-winning writer James Tynion IV, bestselling writer Marguerite Bennett, and fan-favorite artist Letizia Cadonici. The nine-issue series, produced by Tynion’s production house Tiny Onion and published by Image Comics, follows an undercover journalist reporting on a group of deluded Neo-Nazis foolishly seeking glory and instead facing the wrath of Norse gods. Green Room meets Midsommar with a touch of The Ritual in this relentless, no-holds-barred horror story.
The new preview, sharing the beginning of Odin #1, starts with a visual punch: Odin disemboweled and disfigured, hangs from a tree, being pecked by a group of crows. The next pages offer a glimpse into the journey of journalist Adela, showing her infiltration of a Neo-Nazi punk band who are following a skin map to what they believe to be their promised land where they can rise to full white supremacist power. The series will follow in the frozen footsteps of thrill-seeking Adela as she ventures into the Norwegian forest with the Neo Nazi punks. But what awaits them in the woods is far older and stranger than any of them can comprehend, and no gods are coming to answer their prayers.
Debuting this May, Odin features hallucinogenic colors by Eisner Award winner Jordie Bellaire and sharp letters by the acclaimed Tom Napolitano. The series is cleverly designed by Dylan Todd and edited by horror pros Steve Foxe and Eric Harburn.
Odin will have gorgeous main covers by celebrated comic and album artist Alex Eckman-Lawn, who is illustrating Cover A for the full series. The series will also spotlight variants by series artist Cadonici and all-star artists like Christian Ward, Martin Simmonds, Jae Lee, Annie Wu, Tula Lotay, Sam Wolfe Connelly, Wes Craig, and more.
Odin #1 will be available at comic book stores on Wednesday, May 20th, 2026.

IT’S TIME TO MEET THE SUSPECTS! After succumbing to the consciousness-clobbering effects of a brick to the noggin, Kermit the Frog finds himself walking a new beat in Dreamland as private investigator Flip Minnow. His first assignment? Tracking down Meringue Crustworth, the missing daughter of pie magnate Dolores Crustworth. Seems like a straightforward enough case, but there’s something about the situation that isn’t sitting well with Flip — something that goes far beyond his inexplicably deep-seated aversion to pies. Joining forces with the friendly beat cop Officer O’Bear, the green P.I. starts running down leads, which eventually steer the pair into an oddly unappetizing pie shop that leaves Flip’s phobias untriggered. But what the flatfoot and the gumshoe discover inside turns out to be even stranger than a narcoleptic frog in a trench coat! Master storyteller ROGER LANGRIDGE continues his heart-felt return to the Muppet realm with The Muppets Noir #2 — featuring sharply shadowed covers from both the author and guest artists JAE LEE & JUNE CHUNG!
