COMICS WARLOCKS

June’s new comic releases are wild… in the best way. There’s horror, vampires, cosmic warfare, queer witches, and a surprising amount of Marvel books made it to our top picks this month. Here are the debut issues we’re most excited to read in June 2025!

Be Not Afraid – BOOM! Studios
The story: When Cora Reims gave birth to an angelic child after a mysterious vision, her small town feared the worst. Now, 17 years later, her son rots everything he touches, and Heaven wants her to end what she started.
Why we’re intrigued: Biblical horror, creepy prophecies, and a rural setting soaked in dread: we can’t wait. Read more about it here!

Blood Type – Oni Press
The story: Exiled to a tropical resort crawling with rich tourists and local legends, vampire Ada just wants to hunt in peace. But when a deadlier predator starts playing games, it’s time for a fight for survival.
Why we’re intrigued: Vampires, island horror, and it spins out of Epitaphs from the Abyss, which we’ve been loving. Looks deliciously wicked.

Bytchcraft – Mad Cave Studios
The story: In a perpetually eclipsed New York, a queer coven of misfit witches is all that stands between magic and destruction. Emo necromancers, fairy-tale princess vibes, and god-whispers collide as prophecy calls.
Why we’re intrigued: Queer witches? Sold. This coven already feels iconic, and the setup sounds chaotic in all the right ways.

Emma Frost: The White Queen – Marvel Comics
The story: Before she was a mutant icon, Emma Frost ruled the Hellfire Club. With enemies closing in and a traitor among them, she’ll claw her way to the top… and make you beg to kneel.
Why we’re intrigued: We love Emma. This is the story we’ve been waiting for, and the David Nakayama covers are already legendary. Read more about it here!

Imperial – Marvel Comics
The story: Hulks, Novas, Black Panthers, and cosmic royalty collide in the birth of a new galactic empire. Intrigue, war, and power plays await in Marvel’s next major space epic.
Why we’re intrigued: Jonathan Hickman steering a cosmic Marvel event? Yes. The character designs alone are unreal. Read more about it here!

Jeff the Land Shark – Marvel Comics
The story: He’s adorable. He’s unstoppable. And now, Jeff finally has his own series. With new powers and plenty of friends (and foes), Marvel’s tiniest menace is ready to bite.
Why we’re intrigued: We’ve been waiting years for this. Jeff supremacy is real, and Kelly Thompson + Tokitokoro is the dream team. Read more about it here!

Krypto: The Last Dog of Krypton – DC Comics
The story: Before he was Earth’s super-dog, Krypto was just a happy pup on Krypton. But when a rocket launch goes wrong, he’s sent on a lonely, heartbreaking journey across the stars.
Why we’re intrigued: Krypto origin story? Yes please. It’s giving heartwarming and devastating, and it’s written by Ryan North! We’re in.

News from the Fallout – Image Comics
The story: After a nuclear test turns deadly, a lone soldier flees a contaminated wasteland full of rot and secrets. In a ruined America, survival may be the worst fate of all.
Why we’re intrigued: Creepy sci-fi with horror vibes? This sounds like a slow-burn nightmare and we’re all about it.

The Oddly Pedestrian Life of Christopher Chaos: Children of the Night – Dark Horse Comics
The story: A new school year, a new monster in town, and a new mystery for Christopher Chaos to solve (with or without his mentor). It’s Monster Club vs. the unknown once again!
Why we’re intrigued: One of our favorite series returns! If you read our full series review, you know we’re obsessed. Bring on the weirdness. Read more about it here!

Spider-Girl – Marvel Comics
The story: Bullseye betrayed her. Now she’s on her own, trying to be a hero, but a classic Spider-villain has other plans. Time to see what Spider-Girl is really made of.
Why we’re intrigued: With Spider-Boy wrapping, it’s her time to shine. The David Nakayama covers are killer and we’ve got high hopes for her journey. Read more about it here!

Why we’re intrigued: Big Power Rangers fans, we’re beyond hyped to see the VR Troopers get their own series. Let’s go!
