More Mid-May  Madness – Wednesday,  May 13th, 2026

My predilection for alliteration led me to create a red herring, with   the implication that comics and toys are “Mad’ today, whereas the headline more appropriately refers to the larger personal, economic and political environments in which we are struggling. I’m leaving it as is. Although, I have been paying more attention to new comics as I look at leftovers from the last 2 months, and I am dazed and confused, so there is that.

If you missed Daredevil #1, the 2nd print is here, along with Absolute Batman #20, and the epilogue to the dizzying Amazing Spider-Man Death Spiral epic, called Body Count.  Also notable new #1’s: a new Spectacular Spider-Man Brand New Day series, DC’s Barbara Gordon Breakout, and Godzilla vs Texas – don’t bet against…um…the licensing department at Toho Pictures.

Thanks to  League Of Comic Geeks for this week’s images, which are in some unusual, non-alphabetical order, and 6 across. Use the list, and MAYBE the pictures will be useful. Again, I do not have time to sort the images into publisher groups.

Wednesday is still New Comic Day, for at least one more week. Watch this space and our Facebook page for the latest news about the rest of the month, season, year, millennium, etc. (And text messages from 5-Star.) The complete list is found below.
