🌋 GODZILLA: THE FIRST 70 YEARS OFFICIAL ILLUSTRATED HISTORY HC
This towering hardcover tribute is a must-have for any kaiju fan. Chronicling the entire legacy of Japan’s King of the Monsters—from the black-and-white terror of 1954 to the Oscar-winning Godzilla Minus One—this book is loaded with behind-the-scenes photos, poster art, and production secrets. Authors Steve Ryfle and Ed Godziszewski deliver a definitive, celebratory deep dive that honors both Godzilla’s destruction and the human artistry behind the monster.
🌶️ GHOST PEPPER #1
Serving up post-apocalyptic flavor with a side of mecha mayhem, this debut from Ludo Lullabi (Battle Chasers, Transformers) delivers big action and fast-paced fun. Loloi’s just trying to run her food truck without running afoul of war machines and rival vendors—but everything changes when she serves Ash, a mysterious warrior who may be the key to saving (or ending) the world. It’s Iron Chef meets Fury Road—don’t miss this first course!
🦇 GARGOYLES: DEMONA #1
Straight from the mind of series creator Greg Weisman, Demona’s centuries-long quest for vengeance finally gets its own spotlight. Illustrated by original series veteran Frank Paur, this debut takes us back to the Dark Ages, tracing Demona’s tragic path after the fall of Castle Wyvern. With stunning covers and a gripping saga of betrayal and fury, this is essential reading for longtime fans and new readers alike.
🦸♂️ SUPERMAN/BATMAN TP – DC COMPACT COMICS EDITION
Get two of DC’s biggest hits in one sleek, travel-ready package! Public Enemies and Supergirl showcase the chemistry between the World’s Finest—written by Jeph Loeb, drawn by Ed McGuinness and Michael Turner. This compact edition fits in your bag but bursts off the page with world-shaking showdowns, mystery, and mythic moments. It’s a perfect intro to these iconic stories—or a convenient reread for fans on the go.
🐉 GODZILLA DESTROYS THE MARVEL UNIVERSE #1
That’s right—GODZILLA vs. MARVEL is really happening, and it’s as wild as it sounds. Gerry Duggan and Javier Garrón bring the thunder as Earth’s Mightiest Heroes unite (and maybe even team up with some villains) to stop Godzilla’s rampage. But the big guy’s not just wrecking New York—he’s tearing through dimensions and stirring up secrets tied to Vibranium and the Dark Dimension. The destruction starts here in the first of five earth-shattering issues!
That’s your stack of highlights this week, with even more waiting for you on the racks! Get those wishlists ready, tune into our shows, and swing by soon—we’ve got your next favorite comic ready to go. 💥📚
