Due to unexpected logistical challenges, the second issue and reprinting of the first for Ben 10will be hitting stores at a different date. The printer experienced a power outage which affected the timeline for getting the books together and moving along to distributors and retailers. Both Ben 10 #1 2nd Printing and Ben 10 #2will now be in stores June 10, rather than the originally solicited June 3. Though the exciting blind bag release for the first issue will still be hitting June 3, packed with the final first prints. Future issues are expected to hit their originally solicited dates for retailers and readers, including #3 in stores July 8. Fans can look forward to the explosive second chapter in the new hit series written by the original creators, the Man of Action team starting with Joe Casey.
Across the first and second printing, the first issue hit an incredible 112,000 copies sold.

Mad Cave Studios has announced Land of Never, a haunting new series from writer Steve Orlando, with art and Cover A by Miguel Mora, colors by Fares Maese, lettering by Micah Myers, and a Cover B by Sebastián Píriz. Blending psychological horror with crime-driven suspense, the series reframes a familiar childhood myth through the story of a father determined to uncover the truth behind his daughter’s disappearance.
Six months ago, Jim Hoke’s daughter Wendy disappeared from her room. All Jim caught was a glimpse of a hulking figure at the window—the kind of late-night vision that’s easily written off as a hallucination. No one believes Jim’s story—and six months later, the retired pathologist is just looking for anyone who’ll still listen. And even if he finds someone, should they believe him? Jim had already retired early to plant evidence against an alleged killer. His word doesn’t mean much—and it means even less with him as a suspect in Wendy’s disappearance. He can’t leave town, he can’t forget what he saw, and he doesn’t get any sleep thanks to the nightmares.
With Wendy’s disappearance declared the coldest of cases, Jim believes he’s the only one who cares about finding his daughter. And he’s got a withered Father’s Day card in his pocket to remind him—all he can do is his best. So he’d better step it up. Jim goes into business for himself, tracking leads and harassing anyone polite enough to listen to his story. He dives into rabbit hole after rabbit hole, until he meets someone else like him. Then another, then another, a whole community of people who’ve lost someone to a cryptid they call the Floating Man—just like the huge creature Jim saw take Wendy. Suddenly, Wendy’s abductor has a name—the Floating Man. And Jim’s obsession has direction—he’s got to track down the Floating Man, uncover his crimes, and free not just his daughter Wendy, but everyone who’s been lost.
Land of Never #1 goes on sale June 17, 2026, with Final Order Cut-off on May 25.

THE PAST: Claudus’s heir to the throne of Thundera, the cub Lion-O, struggles to understand his destined place at the head of the kingdom. How can he protect an entire realm when he can barely lift a sword? And with the destruction of their planet looming, will the young prince be able to shoulder the burden of leadership? THE PRESENT: With mob boss Mon*Star gone, criminals from the furthest reaches of the galaxy are moving to fill the power vacuum left in his wake — and it’s up to the SilverHawks to stop them. But with their resources stretched thin, the team has to expand — and when Quicksilver and new recruit Chromium take on an intergalactic biker gang, the veteran and the rookie will face a real trial by fire! THE FUTURE: For the ThunderCats trapped in the far future of ThunderCats: Lost in Time, the quest to find a way back to the past is proving to be an exercise in frustration. A restless Neko begins pulling away from her teammates to wage a one-woman war against the Darkbirds, whose secrets may hold the key to the ’Cats survival — past, present, and future!

When gunfire stops, survival doesn’t. This spring, Mad Cave Studios debuts Dog Tag, a six-issue war series from writer Mark Russell and artist PJ Holden, with colors by JP Jordan and lettering by Buddy Beaudoin.
Inspired by real events from the final year of World War II, the series follows a soldier-journalist as the line between witnessing war and surviving it disappears. Dog Tag #1 features variant covers by Sebastián Piriz and Erica Henderson.
Dog Tag is a fictional story about a very real war. It follows the life and thoughts of Corporal Tom Fuller through the final year of World War II as his service takes him from the invasion of Normandy to the surrender of Japan. Borrowed from real-world stories and little-known events of the war, Dog Tag asks big questions about the war while focusing on the heroism of the ordinary people who lived and died during the conflict.
Dog Tag offers a grounded, emotionally resonant take on World War II—one that prioritizes humanity over the hero.
Dog Tag #1 hits comic shops on May 6, 2026, with Final Order Cut-off falling on April 13.
