<p><span style="color: #000000;">Hot New Funko POPS! This Week</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">New release day for May 13, 2026 brings a surprisingly strong batch of Funko Pops for collectors, and this week is not just about grabbing another vinyl figure because the shelf looked lonely. This lineup has franchise depth, character demand, display appeal, and a few early sell-out warning signs that make the collector radar start blinking. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong><span style="color: #ff0000; background-color: #ffff00;"><a href="https://ebay.us/gde3N2" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img decoding="async" class="alignleft  wp-image-95589" src="https://trendingpopculture.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/ScreenHunter_10136-May.-09-20.49.jpg" alt="" width="124" height="184" srcset="https://trendingpopculture.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/ScreenHunter_10136-May.-09-20.49.jpg 414w, https://trendingpopculture.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/ScreenHunter_10136-May.-09-20.49-202x300.jpg 202w, https://trendingpopculture.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/ScreenHunter_10136-May.-09-20.49-40x60.jpg 40w, https://trendingpopculture.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/ScreenHunter_10136-May.-09-20.49-61x90.jpg 61w" sizes="(max-width: 124px) 100vw, 124px" /></a> <a href="https://ebay.us/7jpWtN" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img decoding="async" class="alignleft  wp-image-95586" src="https://trendingpopculture.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Funko-POP-Supergirl-with-Puppy-Krypto.jpg" alt="" width="180" height="182" srcset="https://trendingpopculture.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Funko-POP-Supergirl-with-Puppy-Krypto.jpg 891w, https://trendingpopculture.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Funko-POP-Supergirl-with-Puppy-Krypto-297x300.jpg 297w, https://trendingpopculture.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Funko-POP-Supergirl-with-Puppy-Krypto-600x606.jpg 600w, https://trendingpopculture.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Funko-POP-Supergirl-with-Puppy-Krypto-100x100.jpg 100w, https://trendingpopculture.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Funko-POP-Supergirl-with-Puppy-Krypto-59x60.jpg 59w, https://trendingpopculture.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Funko-POP-Supergirl-with-Puppy-Krypto-89x90.jpg 89w" sizes="(max-width: 180px) 100vw, 180px" /></a><a style="color: #ff0000; background-color: #ffff00;" href="https://ebay.us/l1bmNd" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Funko POP! Heroes DC Pride Jonathan Kent Vinyl Figure</a></span></strong> belongs in this week’s collector conversation, especially with Midtown Comics showing the item as sold out for the 5/13/2026 release window. Jonathan Kent has become one of DC’s more important modern Superman-family characters, and this Pride release gives the figure an added collector hook beyond the standard hero pose. Funko’s listing describes the figure as Jonathan Kent in his iconic super suit with a Pride flag twist, standing approximately 4.7 inches tall, while Entertainment Earth lists it as DC Heroes Pride Jonathan Kent Funko Pop! Vinyl Figure #620. For collectors, this one checks a few boxes at once: modern DC relevance, Pride collection appeal, Superman-family visibility, and early sold-out movement where collectors were already watching.</span><br />
<span style="color: #000000;"><span style="color: #ff0000; background-color: #ffff00;"><a style="color: #ff0000; background-color: #ffff00;" href="https://ebay.us/jymXwM" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Funko POP! Star Wars: Legends Mara Jade</strong></a></span> is the kind of release that makes longtime Star Wars collectors stop scrolling. Mara Jade still carries that Expanded Universe / Legends gravity, which means she is not just another background character in a sea of galactic plastic. BigBadToyStore lists the Mara Jade Specialty Series Pop as a May 2026 pre-order, with some condition tiers already showing sold out, while another retailer result shows Mara Jade sold out entirely. That does not automatically mean every retailer is tapped out, but it does tell collectors the demand is already there. </span><br />
<span style="color: #000000;"><strong><span style="color: #ff0000; background-color: #ffff00;"><a href="https://ebay.us/6STGkm" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img decoding="async" class="alignright  wp-image-95591" src="https://trendingpopculture.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Funko-Pop-Nooks-Lord-of-the-Rings-Bilbo-Baggins.jpg" alt="" width="220" height="306" srcset="https://trendingpopculture.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Funko-Pop-Nooks-Lord-of-the-Rings-Bilbo-Baggins.jpg 475w, https://trendingpopculture.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Funko-Pop-Nooks-Lord-of-the-Rings-Bilbo-Baggins-216x300.jpg 216w, https://trendingpopculture.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Funko-Pop-Nooks-Lord-of-the-Rings-Bilbo-Baggins-43x60.jpg 43w, https://trendingpopculture.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Funko-Pop-Nooks-Lord-of-the-Rings-Bilbo-Baggins-65x90.jpg 65w" sizes="(max-width: 220px) 100vw, 220px" /></a> <a href="https://ebay.us/8A3zt1" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img decoding="async" class=" wp-image-95588 alignright" src="https://trendingpopculture.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Funko-POP-Premium-Yu-Gi-Oh-Red-Eyes-Black-Dragon.jpg" alt="" width="251" height="306" srcset="https://trendingpopculture.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Funko-POP-Premium-Yu-Gi-Oh-Red-Eyes-Black-Dragon.jpg 352w, https://trendingpopculture.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Funko-POP-Premium-Yu-Gi-Oh-Red-Eyes-Black-Dragon-246x300.jpg 246w, https://trendingpopculture.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Funko-POP-Premium-Yu-Gi-Oh-Red-Eyes-Black-Dragon-49x60.jpg 49w, https://trendingpopculture.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Funko-POP-Premium-Yu-Gi-Oh-Red-Eyes-Black-Dragon-74x90.jpg 74w" sizes="(max-width: 251px) 100vw, 251px" /></a> <a href="https://ebay.us/jymXwM" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img decoding="async" class="alignright  wp-image-95590" src="https://trendingpopculture.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Funko-POP-Star-Wars-Legends-Mara-Jade.jpg" alt="" width="218" height="306" srcset="https://trendingpopculture.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Funko-POP-Star-Wars-Legends-Mara-Jade.jpg 472w, https://trendingpopculture.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Funko-POP-Star-Wars-Legends-Mara-Jade-214x300.jpg 214w, https://trendingpopculture.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Funko-POP-Star-Wars-Legends-Mara-Jade-43x60.jpg 43w, https://trendingpopculture.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Funko-POP-Star-Wars-Legends-Mara-Jade-64x90.jpg 64w" sizes="(max-width: 218px) 100vw, 218px" /></a><a style="color: #ff0000; background-color: #ffff00;" href="https://ebay.us/CIPxaA" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Funko POP! NBA Chicago Bulls Michael Jordan 1998 All-Star Game MVP</a></span></strong> feels like the safest collector logic in the group because Jordan collectibles rarely need a long sales pitch. This one ties directly to the 1998 All-Star Game MVP moment, which gives it a cleaner hook than a random pose or generic uniform release. NBA Store labels the item “Most Popular,” and multiple retailer pages show sell-out signals on versions or listings connected to this Pop. That is exactly the kind of early movement collectors tend to notice after the easy copies disappear. </span><br />
<span style="color: #000000;"><span style="color: #ff0000; background-color: #ffff00;"><a style="color: #ff0000; background-color: #ffff00;" href="https://ebay.us/7jpWtN" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Funko POP! &amp; Buddy Supergirl with Puppy Krypto</strong></a></span> has the built-in advantage of timing. Supergirl and Krypto together make this more than a single-character release, and collectors tend to pay attention when a movie-tied Pop includes a companion figure with shelf appeal. BigBadToyStore shows the Supergirl with Puppy Krypto listing as a May 2026 pre-order with at least one condition option sold out. </span><br />
<span style="color: #000000;"><a href="https://ebay.us/8A3zt1" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="color: #ff0000; background-color: #ffff00;"><strong>Funko POP! Premium Yu-Gi-Oh Red-Eyes Black Dragon Card Vinyl Figure</strong></span></a> is one of the sharper collector pieces this week because it is not just a character standing in a box. The premium card-style presentation gives it more display value, and Red-Eyes Black Dragon has that old-school Yu-Gi-Oh collector recognition that still pulls weight. A much stronger shelf concept than the standard “here is another dragon, please make room” routine. </span><br />
<span style="color: #000000;"><a href="https://ebay.us/6STGkm" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="color: #ff0000; background-color: #ffff00;"><strong>Funko POP! Nooks Lord of the Rings Bilbo Baggins</strong></span></a> is another one that feels built for display collectors. The Pop Nooks format gives Bilbo a Bag-End themed setup, which immediately separates it from a basic Lord of the Rings release. Current product listings show it across major collectible retailers including Funko, Entertainment Earth, BigBadToyStore, BoxLunch, and Hot Topic. That wider availability may help collectors early, but Lord of the Rings display pieces have a funny way of looking “easy” until everyone suddenly decides they want one. </span><br />
<span style="color: #000000;"><a href="https://ebay.us/gde3N2" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="color: #ff0000; background-color: #ffff00;"><strong>Funko POP! Marvel X-Men ’97 Apocalypse</strong></span></a> brings Marvel animation heat into the week, and Apocalypse remains one of those villains who always feels bigger than the box he comes in. Midtown lists Apocalypse, Cable, En Sabah Nur, and Storm Wasteland X-Men ’97 Pops for 5/13/2026, giving collectors a mini-wave to track. Apocalypse gets the edge here because major villain Pops tied to an active animated brand usually carry better long-term collector logic than another background roster filler. </span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-95575" src="https://trendingpopculture.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Michael.png" alt="" width="383" height="568" srcset="https://trendingpopculture.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Michael.png 526w, https://trendingpopculture.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Michael-202x300.png 202w, https://trendingpopculture.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Michael-40x60.png 40w, https://trendingpopculture.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Michael-61x90.png 61w" sizes="(max-width: 383px) 100vw, 383px" /><span style="color: #000000;">Michael &#8211; Movie Review</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">This screening was, without exaggeration, the wildest I’ve ever attended. The place was buzzing. Right at the foot of the IMAX screen, a DJ was blasting Michael Jackson classics while three major local radio stations had their own DJs hyping up the crowd. Before anyone even sat down, it felt like a full‑blown event. There was a three‑person MJ dance‑off judged by the audience, a Michael trivia battle, and a final open‑invite dance showcase where at least twenty people jumped up to show their best MJ moves. Prizes were flying out left and right. For a stretch of time—longer than a stretch—it genuinely felt like 1983 again. The energy was real, sincere, and contagious. The turnout was massive. And once the movie finally started, that momentum carried straight into the film.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">First things first: this movie <em>needs</em> to be seen in IMAX. Not “should,” not “would be nice”—needs. The scale, the sound, the cinematography… they’re built for that giant canvas. Watching it anywhere else strips away a chunk of its impact. The film breathes differently in IMAX. Do yourself a favor and experience it that way.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">“Michael” opens in the final, brutal days before the Jackson 5 landed their first real gig. Rhyan Hill (Tito), Jayden Harville (Jermaine), Jaylen Lyndon Hunter (Marlon), Nathaniel Logan McIntyre (Jackie), and Juliano Krue Valdi as young Michael all deliver, but it’s the dynamic with Joe Jackson—played with chilling precision by Colman Domingo—that hits hardest. It’s infuriating, heartbreaking, and gripping from the jump. You want to leap through the screen and stop him yourself.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">From there, we ride the wave of the Jackson 5’s rise and eventually land in 1978, where Michael starts pushing toward a solo career—much to Joe’s disapproval. Joe’s worldview is summed up in one line: “You’re either a winner or you’re a loser.” Simple words, but when they’re beaten into you, they take on a whole different meaning. Joe Jackson was an abusive force, and the film doesn’t soften that truth. Even Michael’s mother, played beautifully by Nia Long, is powerless against him. Her attempts to protect her son never land. Michael never gets the rescue he deserved.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">We all know the broad strokes of Michael’s story, but this film fills in the emotional architecture. It’s like watching the Titanic—you know the ending, but you still want the full picture. Here, you get it brick by brick.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">The performances across the board are phenomenal. Not a single weak link. Young Michael commands the screen every time he appears—anger, joy, trauma, all of it. It’s rare to see a child actor deliver with that level of depth. KeiLyn Durrel Jones as Michael’s bodyguard is another standout. And Colman Domingo? He gives you the blueprint for Michael’s lifelong wounds. His portrayal makes the psychology click in a way that’s both devastating and illuminating.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">The pacing is spot‑on, the music pulses through the visuals, and the cinematography is razor‑sharp. Every shot feels intentional. Every close‑up has weight. And yes—this is exactly why IMAX matters.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">By the time we reach 1978/1979, Jaafar Jackson steps in as Michael and absolutely nails it. You feel the internal tug‑of‑war—his ambition, his fear, his need to break free. The 1984 Pepsi accident becomes a turning point, clarifying the direction he wanted to take… while also introducing the painkillers that would eventually cost him everything.</span><br />
<span style="color: #000000;">We dive into the making of the biggest‑selling record of all time, <em>Thriller</em>, and the behind‑the‑scenes process is absolutely captivating. From the origins of “Beat It” and “Thriller” to the very first “Billie Jean” performance, the film lays it all out. One moment I was waiting for in particular was the iconic guitar riff in “Beat It.” Would they acknowledge the legendary guitarist behind it? The movie doesn’t miss a beat.</span></p>
<p>The film does not cover the early 90&#8217;s controversy surrounding Michael. One major reason for this is because the film does not approach this particular era of his life. Maybe in a second film?</p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">One noticeable omission: Janet Jackson. If there’s one thing to nitpick, it’s the absence of the sibling he was closest to. Their bond mattered, and it’s strange not to see it represented—especially considering they later teamed up for “Scream,” a song built on shared frustration and injustice.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Semi-spoiler alert!?</strong><br />
</span>The ending hits like the final scene of <em>The Sopranos</em>—abrupt, intentional, leaving the entire audience wanting more. And honestly, there <em>is</em> more. Director Antoine Fuqua knew exactly what he was doing. He absolutely deserves an award consideration for this film. Actually, the whole team does—cinematographer Dion Beebe, the makeup department, sound, everyone. They all crushed it.<br />
IMAX Stat.</span></p>

<p><span style="color: #000000;">The new release sold out Funko Pops this week cover a wide spread of collector tastes, which is usually a sign the lineup had real strength instead of one or two obvious favorites carrying the group. Anime, wrestling, movies, television, and Disney all showed up here, and the bigger story is how quickly several of these moved once collectors saw chase versions, stylized deco treatments, and character choices that already had built-in fan bases. For anyone tracking the new release sold out Funko Pops this week, this batch feels like a reminder that collectors still react fast when Funko lines up recognizable properties with the right look and a few harder-to-land pieces.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">NEW Sold out Funko Pops This Week 4-1-26</span></p>
<p data-start="775" data-end="1444"><span style="color: #000000;"><strong><span style="color: #ff0000; background-color: #ffff00;"><a style="color: #ff0000; background-color: #ffff00;" href="https://ebay.us/urj7if" target="_blank" rel="noopener">RoboCop</a></span></strong> is one of the more obvious collector plays in this week’s sold out group because the design does not need much explanation. The metallic body, the battle-damaged look on the chase presentation, and the simple blunt pose all fit the character exactly the way they should. Funko describes this RoboCop release as part of the RoboCop 2 set and notes a 1-in-6 chance for the battle-damaged chase, which is the kind of detail collectors immediately lock onto when supply starts drying up. That chase angle matters here because damage variants tend to feel more connected to the character’s screen presence than a simple repaint.</span></p>
<p data-start="1446" data-end="1970"><span style="color: #000000;"><strong><span style="color: #ff0000; background-color: #ffff00;"><a style="color: #ff0000; background-color: #ffff00;" href="https://ebay.us/kWzaN1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jewelry Bonney</a></span></strong> is another strong example of why the new release sold out Funko Pops this week had range. This One Piece figure leans hard into the soft cloud base, bright pink eyes, and white hair sculpt that immediately separates it on a shelf. Funko identifies the figure as Bonney from the Egghead Arc in her Gear 5 form and notes a 1-in-6 chance at a glow-in-the-dark chase. That combination of a current One Piece look with a chase version was always going to keep this one moving.</span></p>

The sculpted hair, stern expression, headband details, and sword-ready stance all do the work without overcomplicating the figure. Funko’s official listing frames Afro around his pursuit of vengeance and the Number One headband, which is exactly the core of the character’s story. That focus helps make this release feel sharper than a generic anime drop. It looks like a figure made for people who know the property rather than just people filling shelf space.</span></p>
<p data-start="1972" data-end="2537"><span style="color: #000000;">NEW Sold out Funko Pops This Week 4-1-26</span></p>
<p data-start="2539" data-end="3145"><span style="color: #000000;">The <a href="https://ebay.us/L3pAJm" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="color: #ff0000; background-color: #ffff00;"><strong>Rex Splode chase</strong></span></a> is the kind of variant that gets attention quickly because it is not subtle. The bloodied battle-damaged look changes the tone of the figure right away, and that usually gives the chase more perceived collector weight than a minor color swap. Funko states there is a 1-in-6 chance of finding the battle-damaged chase, and that is usually enough to turn a standard release into a fast-moving one once the community decides the variant is the version to own. With Invincible continuing to hold attention, this one had very little room to sit around.</span></p>
<p data-start="3147" data-end="3806"><span style="color: #000000;"><a href="https://ebay.us/KHqaea" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong><span style="color: #ff0000; background-color: #ffff00;">Dodger with Oliver</span></strong></a> has a very different kind of appeal, but it fits this sold out conversation just as well. The Pop &amp; Buddy setup gives collectors a larger main character and a smaller companion figure, which already makes it feel like more than a standard single release. The chase status matters here too, because Funko specifically frames Chance of Chase items as limited-quantity variations shipped at random. For Disney collectors, that is usually enough to turn a fun release into a harder target. The sunglasses on Dodger and the smaller Oliver figure give this one a clean shelf presence without trying too hard.</span></p>
<p data-start="3808" data-end="4347"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="color: #ff0000; background-color: #ffff00;"><a style="color: #ff0000; background-color: #ffff00;" href="https://ebay.us/yewups" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Joseph Joestar with Iggy</strong></a></span> is one of the better duo releases in this lineup because it captures personality without needing a huge action pose. Joseph’s hat, gloves, and worn facial detailing do a lot of the heavy lifting, while Iggy gives the figure an instant JoJo identity boost. Funko lists this as a Pop &amp; Buddy release in the JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure line, and that buddy format is a real advantage when collectors want something that feels a little more substantial than a standard single figure.</span></p>

<p><span style="color: #000000;"><a href="https://ebay.us/PJMoZH" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong><span style="color: #ff0000; background-color: #ffff00;">Bray Wyatt</span></strong></a> stands apart because it is not a chase-driven sellout story. It is more about presentation and fan recognition. Funko describes this as a WWE 60th Anniversary Pop and the deco styling gives it a more stylized, almost surreal finish than a straightforward ring-gear release. The blue face design and bright eyes do most of the visual work here. This one feels aimed at fans who wanted a Bray Wyatt piece that looked more iconic than literal.</span></p>

<strong>Cast: </strong>Ryan Gosling, Sandra Hüller, James Ortiz, Lionel Boyce, Ken Leung, Milana Vayntrub, Priya Kansara<br />
<strong>Rating</strong>: PG-13 for some thematic material and suggestive references</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em>Science teacher Ryland Grace (Ryan Gosling) wakes up on a spaceship light-years from home with no recollection of who he is or how he got there. As his memory returns, he begins to uncover his mission: solve the riddle of the mysterious substance causing the sun to die out. He must call on his scientific knowledge and unorthodox ideas to save everything on Earth from extinction… but an unexpected friendship means he may not have to do it alone.</em></p>
<p>Before I head out to a screener, I always check the runtime. With the long drive, the late-night note‑taking, the shower, and whatever sleep I can salvage before work, I like to know exactly what kind of night I’m signing up for. So when I peeked at the runtime for <em>Project Hail Mary</em> and saw 2 hours and 36 minutes, my enthusiasm took a hit. That’s a commitment. And as readers here know, I don’t watch trailers anymore—they spoil too much. I stick to the synopsis and the poster, decide if I’ll bite, and factor in how busy life already is. This time, I wish I hadn’t taken the bait.</p>
<p>Ryan Gosling is a hit-or-miss actor for me. <em>Blade Runner 2049</em>, <em>Drive</em>, <em>The Notebook</em>—those hit. Others… we’ll leave unnamed. Unfortunately, <em>Project Hail Mary</em> lands firmly in the miss column…..for me.</p>
<p>Gosling (as Ryland Grace) spends a huge chunk of this movie acting opposite himself and a prop, which I’ll give him credit for—it’s not an easy task. His emotional beats were sparingly there at times, but not enough for me to fully invest. And then there’s the alien. My goodness. The alien. A walking rock creature speaking its own language, which Ryland deciphers in about twenty minutes. From there, it’s nonstop back‑and‑forth with this thing he names Rocky. It’s a lot. And not in a good way.</p>
<p>The PG‑13 rating is felt throughout. At times, it felt childish, like I was watching an extended episode of <em>Fraggle Rock</em>—and not one of the good ones. The movie drags, and I kept mentally trimming scenes: “Cut ten minutes here… cut that whole sequence… we get it, we get it.”</p>
<p>Rocky never clicked for me. No face, no expression, nothing to latch onto emotionally. I felt the same way I did when C‑3PO’s memory got wiped or when R2‑D2 got blasted in the original <em>Star Wars</em>—zero attachment. Compare that to <em>Old Yeller</em>, <em>The Iron Giant</em>, <em>WALL‑E</em>—non-human characters with faces, expressions, or something to connect with. Rocky looked like a puppet leaning against glass during emotional moments…. with a face they forgot to put on it. It was hard not to chuckle.</p>
<p>Kids under 13 might enjoy parts of this, but even then, the length is a mountain. I can easily see younger viewers checking out halfway through.<br />
It’s as though the film tried so hard to be “deep” with a message that never hit its mark.</p>
<p>As for the rest of the cast… nothing stood out. No performances worth spotlighting. Just more background noise orbiting around a story I couldn’t get invested in.</p>
<p>Watching this film on IMAX did not help its cause either. Space truly is a quiet, lonely place. A few wide-open shots of the empty vastness of space did not impress me the way they used to. That ship has sailed a long time ago, just like Ryland’s ship did.<br />
For a movie set in space, with all the visual spectacle that implies, it’s shockingly forgettable. Even the big “spaceships meeting for the first time” moment takes forever to develop. The whole thing is a slog, and I can’t recommend it.</p>
<p>It’s a predictable sci-fi that will have you yearning for the 2-hour and 36-minute mark to hit because it’s fleecing your time that you’ll never get back. You know how things will eventually pan out, yet I was stuck there. Waiting.<br />
A long runtime doesn’t automatically make a film “epic.” Too many reviewers walk into a theater already convinced it does. <em>Epic</em> is <em>E.T.</em>—because the audience, correction, I, genuinely cared whether E.T. made it home. I didn’t feel that for Rocky at all. This movie wants to be a modern‑day <em>E.T.</em>, but without the heart, without the emotional pull, without an Elliot to anchor it. It’s <em>E.T.</em> on steroids—bigger, louder, longer—but missing the soul that made the original unforgettable.</p>
<p>If this lands on Amazon Prime in a month or two, block out 2 hours and 36 minutes and ask yourself afterward: Was that really worth it?</p>

<p><strong>Cover Gem of the Week <a href="https://ebay.us/oS3L8c" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="color: #ff0000; background-color: #ffff00;">Star Wars: Shadow of Maul #1</span></a> – <span style="color: #ff0000;"><a style="color: #ff0000;" href="https://ebay.us/lUyuvk" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="background-color: #ffff00;">Bjorn Barends</span></a></span><br />
</strong>This week’s Cover Gem of the Week does not whisper subtlety. It stares directly at you with cracked teeth and dares you to blink. Star Wars Shadow of Maul #1 Bjorn Barends Variant takes one of the most visually striking villains in the Star Wars universe and somehow makes him even more unsettling. Because apparently Darth Maul was not intimidating enough already. Bjorn Barends leans into the raw menace of Maul, framing him in a tight, suffocating close-up that feels less like a comic cover and more like a threat issued personally to the collector holding it. The texture work alone deserves attention. The hood drapes over Maul’s face with a gritty realism that contrasts perfectly with the deep crimson and black facial markings. This is not a glossy, polished portrait. This is battle-worn, scarred, and very aware of its own darkness. The eyes are partially hidden, forcing your focus toward that twisted grin, revealing teeth that look like they have seen more lightsaber duels than they care to admit. It is unsettling in the best possible way. That is what makes Star Wars Shadow of Maul #1 Bjorn Barends Variant stand out on the shelves for New Comic Book Day. In a sea of wide shots, lightsabers, and galactic explosions, this cover chooses intimacy and threat. It pulls you in close. It feels cinematic without trying too hard. Barends uses lighting and shadow to create depth that gives Maul a near three-dimensional presence. The red face markings are not flat; they glow against the darkness, creating a visual tension that fits perfectly with the tone of a Maul-centered storyline. From a pop culture standpoint, Maul remains one of the most consistently relevant characters across films, animated series, and expanded universe storytelling. A character that debuted in The Phantom Menace and refused to stay dead has become a staple of Star Wars lore. That longevity matters. A character-driven series like Star Wars Shadow of Maul #1 Bjorn Barends Variant taps directly into that established fan base. And when you combine that with a striking, almost poster-worthy variant by Bjorn Barends, you get a cover that collectors and Star Wars fans are going to gravitate toward quickly. This is not about flashy gimmicks. It is about presence. It is about owning a piece of artwork that feels like it belongs framed, not bagged. Star Wars Shadow of Maul #1 Bjorn Barends Variant delivers that presence without apology. The tight composition, the heavy shadow, the sinister grin, it all works together to create a cover that does exactly what a Cover Gem of the Week should do. It commands attention, it holds it, and it leaves you slightly uncomfortable. Which is exactly how a Darth Maul cover should make you feel.</p>

<p><strong><span style="color: #000000;">Hot New Comics This Week 3-4-26</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #000000;">We spotlighted <span style="color: #ff0000; background-color: #ffff00;"><a style="color: #ff0000; background-color: #ffff00;" href="https://ebay.us/x2iiPx" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong data-start="63" data-end="74">Dorc #1</strong></a></span> in the Hot Picks before it even hit shelves, it sold out, and now here comes the 2nd printing. That right there is the blueprint for why Hot Picks for NCBD: Key Issues, Bold Firsts, and Speculative Gems matters. Timing. Awareness. And paying attention before the herd shows up.</span></p>
<p data-start="357" data-end="1030"><span style="color: #000000;">The second printing of <span style="color: #ff0000;"><a style="color: #ff0000;" href="https://ebay.us/x2iiPx" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="background-color: #ffff00;"><strong data-start="380" data-end="391">Dorc #1</strong></span></a></span> isn’t just a reprint. It’s confirmation. Image Comics doesn’t rush to second prints for fun. When an issue gets that treatment, especially this fast, it means retailers underestimated demand. Collectors who hesitated are now circling back. The first print already has that early “you should’ve grabbed it” vibe, and now the second print becomes its own collectible lane. Sometimes these later printings carry lower print runs than the first (We call White Sky #1 too!). Sometimes they carry subtle cover tweaks. Either way, it tells you the character and concept hit. And when a new property hits in today’s market, that’s where long-term value speculation begins.</span></p>
<p data-start="1032" data-end="1099"><span style="color: #000000;">Now look at the rest of this week and you start seeing a pattern. We&#8217;ve been at this since 2005, we got you. </span></p>

When Marvel centers a character like Iceman in an Omega-labeled issue, that signals power escalation, status shifts, or long-term positioning. This isn’t filler. This is a potential pivot point. Power upgrades, new cosmic angles, or even the introduction of new threats tied to Bobby Drake’s abilities can quietly become key moments down the line. Collectors know that late-cycle character elevation issues sometimes age very well.</span></p>
<p data-start="1637" data-end="2135"><span style="color: #000000;">Then you have <span style="color: #ff0000;"><a style="color: #ff0000;" href="https://ebay.us/pkRkcJ" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="background-color: #ffff00;"><strong data-start="1651" data-end="1666">Moonstar #1</strong></span></a></span>. Dani Moonstar has always been one of those characters that hardcore X-fans respect, but she’s never been pushed fully into the mainstream spotlight. A #1 tied to her name immediately raises eyebrows. First issues centered around legacy mutants often introduce new supporting cast, new villains, or redefine abilities. Those subtle first appearances inside character-focused launches are exactly the kind that slip past casual buyers and then get rediscovered later.</span></p>
<p data-start="2137" data-end="2575"><span style="color: #000000;">On the Image side, <span style="color: #ff0000;"><a style="color: #ff0000;" href="https://ebay.us/9ahe03" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="background-color: #ffff00;"><strong data-start="2156" data-end="2168">Narco #1</strong></span></a></span> brings that gritty, chaotic energy that independent books do so well. New Image #1s are always speculative territory. Fresh universes, new villains, original antiheroes — that’s the formula that built Image into what it is. When a brand-new concept lands with strong early reaction, those first printings quietly disappear. If Narco introduces even one breakout character, that #1 becomes the foundation.</span></p>
<p data-start="2137" data-end="2575"><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Hot New Comics This Week 3-4-26</strong></span></p>
<p data-start="2577" data-end="3051"><span style="color: #000000;">You can’t ignore <span style="color: #ff0000;"><a style="color: #ff0000;" href="https://ebay.us/oS3L8c" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="background-color: #ffff00;"><strong data-start="2594" data-end="2626">Star Wars: Shadow of Maul #1</strong></span></a></span> either. Darth Maul remains one of the most bankable villains in the Star Wars galaxy. A new #1 centered around him means expanded canon, potential new Sith lore, and possibly new characters tied to Maul’s criminal empire era. Every time Star Wars expands villain mythology, collectors watch closely. New Sith apprentices. New crime syndicate leaders. New adversaries. Those first appearances can become long-term sleepers.</span></p>
<p data-start="3053" data-end="3499"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="color: #ff0000;"><a style="color: #ff0000;" href="https://ebay.us/YvOZwo" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="background-color: #ffff00;"><strong data-start="3053" data-end="3083">The Amazing Spider-Man #23</strong></span></a></span> carrying the Spider-Man/Venom “Death Spiral” banner is exactly the kind of storyline that can introduce new symbiote layers. Any time the symbiote mythos expands, collectors pay attention. New hosts, new offshoots, new designs — even a single panel introduction of a new symbiote concept can drive aftermarket heat. Spider-Man titles always print big, but key developments still separate themselves from the pack.</span></p>
<p data-start="3501" data-end="3908"><span style="color: #000000;">Then there’s <span style="color: #ff0000;"><a style="color: #ff0000;" href="https://ebay.us/mO9agw" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="background-color: #ffff00;"><strong data-start="3514" data-end="3534">The Avengers #36</strong></span></a></span>. Team books don’t always scream speculation at first glance, but they’re prime territory for surprise introductions. One new character added to the roster. One unexpected villain reveal. One status quo shift that sticks. Avengers issues ha ve historically hidden first appearances inside what looked like standard chapters. That’s why collectors never fully sleep on them.</span></p>

<p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Best New Comic Covers 3-4-26<br />
</strong></span><span style="color: #000000;">This week’s Best New Comic Covers This Wednesday list leans heavily into controlled chaos, clean hero compositions, and a little bit of menace just staring back at you. As always, these are not about story breakdowns. This is about cover art doing what it’s supposed to do — stop you mid-scroll, make you reconsider your pull list, and remind you that comic collecting is often about the art as much as the interior pages. The Best New Comic Covers This Wednesday deliver on impact, composition, and the kind of energy that makes speculation and cover collecting part of the weekly ritual.</span></p>

Mario Santoro drops Daredevil and Frank Castle into a literal explosion of orange heat and collapsing infrastructure. The composition pushes Punisher forward in sharp perspective with his weapon extended directly at the viewer, while Daredevil dominates the upper plane with raised billy clubs, muscles tensed like a coiled spring. Santoro’s lighting work is what seals this cover. Fire reflections ripple across Daredevil’s suit while debris frames the action without cluttering it. It feels cinematic, heavy, and aggressive without tipping into parody. For collectors who appreciate kinetic superhero violence rendered with painterly polish, this is exactly what Best New Comic Covers This Wednesday should look like.</span></p>
<p data-start="1569" data-end="2284"><span style="color: #000000;"><strong data-start="1569" data-end="1616"><span style="color: #ff0000;"><a style="color: #ff0000;" href="https://ebay.us/oS3L8c" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="background-color: #ffff00;">Star Wars: Shadow of Maul #1</span></a></span> – <span style="color: #ff0000;"><a style="color: #ff0000;" href="https://ebay.us/uxKP5k" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="background-color: #ffff00;">Dan Panosian</span></a></span></strong> shifts everything into restraint. Panosian gives us a cloaked figure standing against a massive moonlit skyline, double-bladed red saber ignited but not swinging. The blues of the night cityscape contrast sharply with the red glow, making the weapon feel surgical rather than chaotic. Panosian’s linework is clean but textured, with heavy shadow controlling the silhouette. There’s space on this cover. Breathing room. The figure stands centered and calm, which somehow makes it more threatening. In a week filled with explosive Marvel energy, this is a reminder that composition and atmosphere can carry equal weight on the Best New Comic Covers This Wednesday list.</span></p>
<p data-start="2286" data-end="2942"><span style="color: #000000;">Then there’s <strong data-start="2299" data-end="2336"><span style="color: #ff0000;"><a style="color: #ff0000;" href="https://ebay.us/QG4GNA" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="background-color: #ffff00;">Nova Centurion #5</span></a></span> – <a href="https://ebay.us/9N8XTA" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="color: #ff0000; background-color: #ffff00;">Partha Pratim</span></a></strong>, which leans into bright, controlled cosmic power. Partha Pratim frames Nova in a futuristic skyline with crackling energy wrapping both fists. The gold armor glows without overpowering the city backdrop, and the lightning arcs guide your eye in a deliberate circular motion around the character. It’s clean superhero iconography done correctly. No overcrowding. No unnecessary background noise. Just a central figure radiating power in a way that feels classic but not dated. This kind of polished hero presentation continues to make cosmic titles stand out visually on racks and online thumbnails alike.</span></p>

<p data-start="2944" data-end="3749"><span style="color: #000000;"><strong data-start="2944" data-end="2990"><span style="color: #ff0000;"><a style="color: #ff0000;" href="https://ebay.us/YvOZwo" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="background-color: #ffff00;">The Amazing Spider-Man #23</span></a></span> – <span style="color: #ff0000; background-color: #ffff00;">Ivan Talavera</span></strong> brings a different tone entirely. Talavera places a red-haired figure in a sleek black suit front and center while a monstrous symbiote presence looms behind, mouth open and dripping with exaggerated teeth. The contrast between the calm, almost fashion-like pose of the central character and the wild organic chaos of the symbiote wrapping around her shoulders creates tension. Talavera’s rendering of fabric texture and skin tone detail elevates it beyond standard superhero posing. The webbed background subtly anchors it to Spider-Man mythology without overpowering the portrait. For those tracking symbiote aesthetics and high-gloss character-focused variants, this one quietly demands attention among the Best New Comic Covers This Wednesday selections.</span></p>
<p data-start="3751" data-end="4348"><span style="color: #000000;">Shifting gears, <strong data-start="3767" data-end="3811"><span style="color: #ff0000;"><a style="color: #ff0000;" href="https://ebay.us/YvOZwo" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="background-color: #ffff00;">The Amazing Spider-Man #23</span></a></span> – <span style="color: #ff0000;"><a style="color: #ff0000;" href="https://ebay.us/zDghd8" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="background-color: #ffff00;">Iban Coello</span></a></span></strong> delivers energy in motion. Coello’s Spider-Man variant bursts forward with glowing blue kinetic energy around both fists. The red background splatter design intensifies the forward motion, while the circular effect framing the character acts like a visual shockwave. Coello’s linework stays sharp even with the motion blur effect, and the perspective gives the punch real weight. It’s dynamic without feeling cluttered. That balance is harder than it looks and why it earns its place on the Best New Comic Covers This Wednesday roundup.</span></p>
<p data-start="4899" data-end="5458"><span style="color: #000000;">Finally, <strong data-start="4908" data-end="4939"><span style="color: #ff0000;"><a style="color: #ff0000;" href="https://ebay.us/eJ70KY" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="background-color: #ffff00;">X-Men #26</span></a></span> – <span style="color: #ff0000;"><a style="color: #ff0000;" href="https://ebay.us/aVd4v8" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="background-color: #ffff00;">Luciano Vecchio</span></a></span></strong> gives us a bold, graphic-forward design. Vecchio places a charging figure in black and red slicing through a minimalist background split by a large red X. It’s simple, almost poster-like in its execution. Clean lines, strong negative space, and a focused color palette make this pop instantly in thumbnail form. Vecchio understands that sometimes less detail means more impact. It’s sharp, direct, and unapologetically graphic, which makes it a strong addition to this week’s Best New Comic Covers This Wednesday list.</span></p>

<p><strong><span style="color: #000000;">Cover Gems of the Week &#8211; Punisher and Wonder Woman</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #000000;">Some covers whisper menace. The <a href="https://ebay.us/BPTB1b" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="color: #ff0000; background-color: #ffff00;"><strong>Marvel Knights The Punisher #4</strong></span></a></span> <span style="color: #000000;"><a href="https://ebay.us/WI4ht2" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="color: #ff0000; background-color: #ffff00;"><strong>Dan Panosian</strong></span></a> variant hangs it on a telephone wire and lets it sway in the open air. This week’s Cover Gem of the Week does not rely on subtle lighting or quiet symbolism. It plants Frank Castle front and center, arms stretched wide, guns drawn, knife clenched between his teeth, and dares the entire street to blink first. The Marvel Knights The Punisher #4 Dan Panosian variant is unapologetically loud in composition but razor sharp in execution. Panosian builds the scene with layered storytelling. The background is not filler. Telephone poles sag under the weight of hanging sneakers and tangled wires, a visual shorthand for territory, gangs, and long-standing grudges. The crowd behind Frank is not faceless. Each character has attitude, posture, and expression that adds to the tension. Frank stands in the center like a human exclamation point, his skull emblem smeared and battle-worn, the red and orange sunset washing the entire scene in a gritty glow. The Marvel Knights The Punisher #4 Dan Panosian variant leans heavily into that raw Marvel Knights aesthetic, where the world feels grounded, dangerous, and slightly off-balance. There is a cinematic sweep to this cover. The wide layout gives it a poster-like presence, almost like a grindhouse film advertisement reimagined through modern comic book artistry. Panosian’s linework is clean but aggressive, and the color palette amplifies the street-level chaos without overwhelming the eye. The guns are oversized in perspective, deliberately pushing toward the reader, making the Marvel Knights The Punisher #4 Dan Panosian variant feel confrontational rather than decorative. This is not a polished superhero pose. It is a challenge. As a Cover Gem of the Week selection, the Marvel Knights The Punisher #4 Dan Panosian variant stands out because it captures everything fans expect from a Punisher cover without repeating a tired formula. It is gritty without being cluttered, dramatic without being cartoonish, and bold without sacrificing detail. If you are scanning new comic book releases and looking for a cover that actually tells a story before you even open the first page, the Marvel Knights The Punisher #4 Dan Panosian variant makes that decision easy. It does not ask to be displayed. It insists on it.<br />
<strong><a href="https://ebay.us/796URr" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-93626" src="https://trendingpopculture.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Absolute-Wonder-Woman-17-Mattia-De-Iulis.jpg" alt="" width="528" height="812" srcset="https://trendingpopculture.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Absolute-Wonder-Woman-17-Mattia-De-Iulis.jpg 900w, https://trendingpopculture.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Absolute-Wonder-Woman-17-Mattia-De-Iulis-600x923.jpg 600w, https://trendingpopculture.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Absolute-Wonder-Woman-17-Mattia-De-Iulis-195x300.jpg 195w, https://trendingpopculture.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Absolute-Wonder-Woman-17-Mattia-De-Iulis-39x60.jpg 39w, https://trendingpopculture.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Absolute-Wonder-Woman-17-Mattia-De-Iulis-59x90.jpg 59w" sizes="(max-width: 528px) 100vw, 528px" /></a>Cover Gems of the Week &#8211; Punisher and Wonder Woman</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #000000;">There are covers that politely sit on the shelf and then there are covers that glare back at you like you owe them money. The <span style="color: #ff0000;"><a style="color: #ff0000;" href="https://ebay.us/796URr" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="background-color: #ffff00;"><strong>Absolute Wonder Woman #17</strong></span></a> <a style="color: #ff0000;" href="https://ebay.us/NGNb5N" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong><span style="background-color: #ffff00;">Mattia De Iulis</span></strong></a></span> variant falls squarely into the second category. Mattia De Iulis delivers a hyper-detailed, emotionally raw portrait of Diana that feels more like a cinematic close-up than a traditional superhero cover. Blood runs down her face, her knuckles are taped and torn, and the intensity in her eyes suggests this is not a mythological goddess posing for a statue. This is a warrior who has already been through the battle and is ready for another round. The Absolute Wonder Woman #17 Mattia De Iulis variant thrives on its realism. The lighting is warm and harsh at the same time, casting dramatic highlights across her hair while the shadows carve out the exhaustion and fury in her expression. The background stays minimal, forcing the viewer to lock in on Diana’s face and clenched fists. It is a bold artistic choice, but subtle in execution. De Iulis leans into texture, skin tones, and fine detail, giving this Absolute Wonder Woman #17 Mattia De Iulis variant a premium art-book feel rather than a standard monthly comic aesthetic. The DC All In banner sits quietly in the corner, almost secondary to the emotional weight happening front and center. This cover understands that sometimes less spectacle equals more impact. No oversized action scene, no crowded background, just an unfiltered close-up of a hero who looks like she has had enough. As a Cover Gem of the Week selection, the Absolute Wonder Woman #17 Mattia De Iulis variant represents everything that makes modern variant covers stand out in today’s comic book market. Strong character focus, painterly detail, and a fearless depiction of vulnerability and strength all in one frame. If you are browsing new comic book releases and looking for standout comic book cover art, this Absolute Wonder Woman #17 Mattia De Iulis variant is the definition of a cover that stops scrolling and stops foot traffic at the comic shop.</span></p>

<p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Hot New Comics 2-25-26<br />
</strong>Every New Comic Book Day brings that familiar internal debate. Do you grab the obvious #1? Do you chase the anniversary issue? Do you lean into a new villain? A rebooted timeline? A creative team shake-up? The entire point of Hot Picks for NCBD: Key Issues, Bold Firsts, and Speculative Gems is identifying those issues that could quietly become more important than they first appear. This week delivers multiple first issues, a milestone 50th celebration, new 2099 developments, and two Punisher releases that feel very different from each other — and that’s exactly where collectors start paying attention.</span></p>

Todd McFarlane built a legacy on longevity and visual dominance, and The Scorched hitting #50 reinforces that Image consistency. This milestone issue continues the brutal ensemble dynamic within the Spawn corner of the universe while marking a celebratory moment for the franchise. And yes, there’s a cool limited Todd McFarlane signed Black and White variant releasing as part of the 50th issue celebration. Milestones in long-running indie universes often end up being the sleeper grabs years later, especially when tied to McFarlane himself. </span></p>
<p data-start="1688" data-end="2318"><a href="https://ebay.us/BPTB1b" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="color: #ff0000; background-color: #ffff00;"><strong data-start="1688" data-end="1707">The Punisher #1</strong></span></a><br data-start="1707" data-end="1710" /><span style="color: #000000;">Marvel resets Frank Castle once again, and anytime there’s a new #1 attached to The Punisher, collectors look closer. This issue repositions the character in a grounded, violent direction that leans into the darker tone fans expect. A new direction, potential new adversaries, and the possibility of redefining Castle’s status quo make this more than “just another relaunch.” The creative team leans heavily into grit and realism, visually emphasizing the brutality that defines the character. When a character this established gets recalibrated, those early chapters tend to carry more weight than expected.</span></p>
<p data-start="2320" data-end="2852"><span style="color: #ff0000;"><a style="color: #ff0000;" href="https://ebay.us/BPTB1b" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="background-color: #ffff00;"><strong data-start="2320" data-end="2355">Marvel Knights: The Punisher #4</strong></span></a></span><br data-start="2355" data-end="2358" /><span style="color: #000000;">On the flip side, the Marvel Knights line continues pushing a stylized, elevated Frank Castle story. With Jimmy Palmiotti writing and Dan Panosian providing striking art, this issue continues the darker, cinematic storytelling approach. Panosian’s layered textures and expressive faces give this run a distinct identity. It feels more prestige, more curated. When you have two Punisher books dropping the same week, collectors inevitably compare tone, direction, and long-term narrative impact.</span></p>
<p data-start="2854" data-end="3416"><span style="color: #ff0000;"><a style="color: #ff0000;" href="https://ebay.us/3lZ5vj" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="background-color: #ffff00;"><strong data-start="2854" data-end="2906">Darkstalkers x Street Fighter: Hunter Killers #1</strong></span></a></span><br data-start="2906" data-end="2909" /><span style="color: #000000;">Capcom crossovers have a built-in audience, but this one leans into cult appeal. Darkstalkers rarely gets sustained spotlight attention, and pairing that universe with Street Fighter instantly elevates the property. Expect character interactions that longtime fighting game fans have waited decades to see. Crossovers like this sometimes quietly introduce reinterpretations or expanded lore that later get referenced again. The first issue of any crossover has historical significance if the concept sticks.</span></p>
<p data-start="3418" data-end="3861"><a href="https://ebay.us/O8TC41" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="color: #ff0000; background-color: #ffff00;"><strong data-start="3418" data-end="3444">Predator: Bloodshed #1</strong></span></a><br data-start="3444" data-end="3447" /><span style="color: #000000;">Marvel continues expanding the Predator mythos with Bloodshed, pushing the franchise deeper into brutal sci-fi horror territory. The Predator line has been steadily building momentum, and each new #1 widens the mythology. Fresh human characters, escalating hunt scenarios, and potential new Yautja lore always make these first issues worth monitoring. Horror franchises with long legs tend to reward early entries.</span></p>

<p data-start="3863" data-end="4265"><span style="color: #ff0000;"><a style="color: #ff0000;" href="https://ebay.us/6nJ4q0" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="background-color: #ffff00;"><strong data-start="3863" data-end="3880">Is Ted OK? #1</strong></span></a></span><br data-start="3880" data-end="3883" /><span style="color: #000000;">Dave Chisholm delivers a haunting psychological premise wrapped in surreal, unsettling visuals. This isn’t superhero territory — this is cerebral horror. When independent creators produce singular, personal stories, those #1 issues often become the defining entry point. Chisholm’s distinct art style and narrative pacing make this feel like a creator-driven project with longevity.</span></p>
<p data-start="4267" data-end="4619"><span style="color: #ff0000;"><a style="color: #ff0000;" href="https://ebay.us/pe74O3" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="background-color: #ffff00;"><strong data-start="4267" data-end="4287">Murder Drones #1</strong></span></a></span><br data-start="4287" data-end="4290" /><span style="color: #000000;">The animated property makes the jump to comics, expanding its world beyond digital screens. Adaptations can be overlooked early, but when fanbases are passionate and the comic deepens the lore, those first printings become more meaningful. Expect new angles on familiar characters and possible first comic-exclusive developments.</span></p>
<p data-start="4621" data-end="5009"><span style="color: #ff0000;"><a style="color: #ff0000;" href="https://ebay.us/Zxcgjp" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="background-color: #ffff00;"><strong data-start="4621" data-end="4679">New History of the DC Universe: The Dakota Incident #1</strong></span></a></span><br data-start="4679" data-end="4682" /><span style="color: #000000;">DC revisits pivotal moments through a historical lens, and The Dakota Incident centers on milestone events tied to the Milestone/Dakota universe. Anytime DC reframes history, especially involving characters connected to Milestone lore, collectors listen. Expanding canon and redefining past events can quietly shift continuity.</span></p>
<p data-start="5011" data-end="5365"><a href="https://ebay.us/rAwLGm" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="color: #ff0000; background-color: #ffff00;"><strong data-start="5011" data-end="5027">Superman #35</strong></span></a><br data-start="5027" data-end="5030" /><span style="color: #000000;">The current Superman run continues reshaping Clark Kent’s world in meaningful ways. Ongoing threads, evolving villains, and modernized stakes define this chapter. Mid-run issues sometimes become more important than launch issues if they cement a long-term direction. Pay attention to any new supporting players or subtle introductions.</span></p>
<p data-start="5367" data-end="5800"><span style="color: #ff0000;"><a style="color: #ff0000;" href="https://ebay.us/fZ5tIo" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="background-color: #ffff00;"><strong data-start="5367" data-end="5418">The Amazing Spider-Man / Venom: Death Spiral #1</strong></span></a></span><br data-start="5418" data-end="5421" /><span style="color: #000000;">Spider-Man and Venom together on a #1 almost sells itself. But beyond that, this story dives into the psychological and physical tension between the two characters. Any time symbiote mythology expands, there’s potential for new offshoot characters, new symbiote concepts, or fresh antagonists. Spider-Man books are consistently printed high, but key developments still break out.</span></p>

Miguel O’Hara and the broader 2099 corner of Marvel have proven resilient over decades. When Marvel leans back into that timeline, collectors look for new variants of legacy characters, new villains, and reimagined futures that could echo forward.</span></p>

Rod Reis drops Superman directly in front of what feels like a living sun, drenched in radiant orange and gold, arms open in a near-messianic pose. The entire composition glows with layered light effects that feel almost liquid. Reis uses controlled brush textures and warm gradients to make the Man of Steel look less like a hero standing in sunlight and more like the source of it. The cape blends into the flare, the chest emblem radiates, and the silhouette is nearly swallowed by brightness. It is clean, commanding, and impossible to scroll past. This is exactly why Superman covers still matter in 2026.</span></p>
<p data-start="1583" data-end="2177"><span style="color: #000000;"><strong data-start="1583" data-end="1643"><span style="color: #ff0000;"><a style="color: #ff0000;" href="https://ebay.us/QE2Rcs" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="background-color: #ffff00;">Hyde Street #10</span></a></span> – <span style="color: #ff0000; background-color: #ffff00;"><a style="color: #ff0000;" href="https://ebay.us/L9eHG3" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ivan Reis</a></span><span style="color: #ff0000;"><span style="color: #000000;"> (Youngblood Returns Variant)</span></span></strong> gives you chaos in motion. Ivan Reis stacks perspective and movement in a way only he can. Massive muscle structure, heavy weaponry, flying shell casings, and smoke curling upward all frame the smaller central figure creating scale and tension. The cover is loud in the best possible way. Reis understands anatomy and impact like few artists working today. There’s grit in the shadows, energy in the blast effects, and enough detail in the background smoke to reward a second look. It feels cinematic and unapologetically aggressive.</span></p>

Parrillo places Frank Castle in a bleak urban landscape with subtle snowfall drifting around him. The trench coat folds are hyper-detailed, the skull emblem stark and centered, and the lighting creates a metallic sheen across his jacket. Parrillo’s work always feels almost photographic, yet heightened. The environment is desaturated, forcing your eye to stay locked on Frank’s imposing stance. It is elegant brutality without excess.</span></p>
<p data-start="3307" data-end="3811"><span style="color: #000000;"><strong data-start="3307" data-end="3347"><span style="color: #ff0000;"><a style="color: #ff0000;" href="https://ebay.us/O8TC41" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="background-color: #ffff00;">Predator: Bloodshed #1</span></a></span> – <span style="color: #ff0000;"><a style="color: #ff0000;" href="https://ebay.us/Vrkabb" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="background-color: #ffff00;">Ken Lashley</span></a></span></strong> refuses to whisper. Lashley brings heavy linework and dynamic posture to the Predator, claws extended, armor reflecting debris and ruin. The background structures crumble behind him, while the creature’s pose leans forward with controlled menace. Lashley’s detailing in the armor plating and musculature makes the character feel heavy and dangerous. The colors are bold without being muddy. It is a full-frontal introduction that leaves zero ambiguity about tone.</span></p>

Clarke buries his subject in lush green foliage with glowing eyes cutting through shadow. The composition feels layered and cinematic, like a scene frozen mid-reveal. Clarke’s use of shadow is deliberate, allowing small areas of highlight to guide the eye. It feels sleek, almost fashion-forward in its presentation. Minimal noise, maximum atmosphere.</span></p>

The composition packs multiple characters into a classic heroic cluster without losing clarity. Andrews’ clean lines and bold color separations give this cover a polished animated feel. Spider-Man stands front and center while Wolverine anchors the composition with classic posture. The supporting characters frame the edges, creating depth and balance. It feels nostalgic but modern at the same time.</span></p>

Sandoval traps both heroes in a web of chaos. Tight framing, exaggerated expressions, and heavy line shadows create tension. Wolverine lunges forward with claws extended while Spider-Man sticks to the wall behind him. The cover feels compressed and explosive. Sandoval’s style is dynamic and kinetic, leaning fully into motion.</span></p>
<p data-start="5158" data-end="5571"><span style="color: #000000;"><strong data-start="5158" data-end="5197"><span style="color: #ff0000;"><a style="color: #ff0000;" href="https://ebay.us/KwiEid" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="background-color: #ffff00;">Psylocke Ninja #2</span></a></span> – <span style="color: #ff0000;"><a style="color: #ff0000;" href="https://ebay.us/97TvTF" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="background-color: #ffff00;">Jhony Caballero</span></a></span></strong> brings sleek, neon precision. Caballero’s sharp line work and glowing blade effects give the cover a digital edge. The red and purple lighting accents carve across Psylocke’s figure, while Electra is behind her, adding scale and mystique. The circular energy lines guide your eye around the composition with precision. It is stylish, modern, and unapologetically bold.</span></p>

Spears plants the character center stage holding a massive “50” like it is just another obstacle. The cracked stone texture contrasts with the vibrant orange background, making the composition pop instantly. Spears’ clean detailing and exaggerated proportions give the cover a punchy, almost celebratory aggression without losing edge.</span></p>

This version of Frank Castle stands centered with oversized tactical weaponry and stylized armor design. The background is minimal, allowing the character model to shine. The rendering is smooth and almost game-concept art polished. It is sleek, controlled, and hyper-modern in execution.</span></p>
