If you’re in the mood for collecting some serious comic firepower, the Blade: Red Band #1 is a must-have, with a blood-splattered debut that not only brings the daywalker back but cranks the stakes higher than ever—pun fully intended. This polybagged edition teases a lot of mystery surrounding what remains of Blade after the events of Blood Hunt. Has the vampire hunter’s humanity been completely drained, or is there something more sinister lurking within? A “new dawn” for Blade? More like a dark and gory sunset, but hey, the blood’s flowing, so that’s gotta be a good sign, right? Speaking of dark forces, Dracula is back in Conquest 2099 #1, and this time, he’s got his sights set on something much bigger than Transylvania. The vamp king has his eye on the new vampire homeworld, and this FIRST APPEARANCE of Domus Draconum kicks off an interstellar clash. The collision course with NOVA, SPIDER-MAN, and SPIDER-WOMAN will have you asking—does Dracula even bleed? The answer might shatter your cold, undead heart. Jumping into tech-driven future heroics, Sentinels #1 introduces an all-new team of mutants-turned-Sentinels (FIRST APPEARANCE ALERT). Nanotech-powered, peacekeepers in an ever-tenuous alliance between humans and mutants, but let’s face it, with Omega Red on the loose, these guys are going to need more than just cutting-edge tech. Will the line between machine and mutant blur? Or will humanity’s greatest protectors forget what it means to be human? Whatever happens, it’s sure to spark plenty of speculation in the collector’s market. We’re throwing it back to classic Spider-action with Spider-Man: Black Suit & Blood #3, as Spidey takes us back to the darker side of superhero life with the black suit. Celebrating the 40th anniversary of Spidey’s iconic costume, this issue pulls no punches—literally. There’s a new Spider-Man in town, and his merciless take on justice shocks everyone, from villains to innocent bystanders alike. Al Ewing and Justina Ireland crank the suspense up with secrets from Secret Wars being spilled left and right. Collector alert: secrets always mean market heat. The Forest Moon of Endor gets a gritty revisit with Star Wars: Ewoks #1, celebrating 40 years since Caravan of Courage. Imperial bounty hunters return to search for lost weapon caches, but surprise! The Ewoks have a few nasty tricks up their sleeves. A new mysterious Ewok warrior returns to Bright Tree village, and their connection to Wicket is set to change the forest moon’s dynamics. For Star Wars and Ewok fans alike, this mini-series is a must for adding that nostalgic touch to your collection. If you’re after some jaw-breaking action, look no further than The Amazing Spider-Man #59. We’re talking Spidey vs. Tombstone in what’s being teased as the most brutal fight in Spider-Man history. And let’s face it, if John Romita Jr.’s on art duties, you know this mano-a-mano brawl is going to be one for the ages. With collecting key battles being a thing, this one’s sure to get comic fans talking (and speculating). The Ultimates #5 throws Hawkeye into the spotlight as he faces off against Captain America. A civilian-turned-vigilante with a bow and arrow? Sounds like a recipe for comic book fireworks. The stolen Stark Tech is a prize worth fighting for, but it’s the mysterious new civilian challenger that’s caught everyone’s attention. Could this be a new hero in the making, or just another pawn in the Ultimate Hellfire Club’s schemes? Either way, you’re going to want this issue in your collection, because Stark Tech and Captain America brawls always up the ante.
