Both Washingtons Are Burning – Wednesday, August 12th , 2026
And I’m very sad. (One is a metaphor, but still terrible and sad.)
ONLY 187 comics this week, and 62 are Marvels, so there’s a math problem for you. Find the percentage…I guess their highlight is Miles Morales: Spider-Man #1, along with another installment of…Queen in Black: Thor. And Jeff Land Shark Superstar, or course. Other highlights include Absolute Batman #23, Godzilla Monsterpiece Theater: Roar of the Worlds, and Hello Kitty…Hello World #1. There are also a pile of Geiger and Invincible books so you can catch up with those stories FAST!
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.
