"What's on the Rack?" New Comic Book Day 5th June 2024

It's June, which means the Summer is starting and the days are longer - which means you have more time to read comics! Check out this week's rack online by clicking on our cover of the week below or scroll down to see the first issues and other highlights.



The finale series to the Shrouded Man Saga begins at Dark Horse Comics!


The tiny clockwork knight returns after making the ultimate choice to save his people above all else. He has amassed allies in the war against the Shrouded Man, but even an army may not be enough to stop the evil sorcerer's quest to conquer Canto's people.


Fighting to save New Arcana won't be easy, but nothing ever is for the brave Canto! The fan-favorite comic fantasy continues with the miniseries Canto: A Place Like Home by Eisner and GLAAD nominated writer David M. Booher and fan-favorite artist Drew Zucker!



In the 1990s, writer Rachel Pollack did the impossible: she raised the bar for surprise and strangeness in her beloved run following Grant Morrison's career-making Doom Patrol!


This one-shot reprints the debut of the iconic Coagula, DC's first transgender superhero, from Doom Patrol #70, along with the long-unavailable one-shot Vertigo Visions: The Geek (with superstar artist Michael Allred)!


And in a final, original short story, Rachel's most beloved creation, Kate Godwin, a.k.a. Coagula, returns to the spotlight in tale of triumph over death itself written by Joe Corallo, Rachel's longtime friend and collaborator, and drawn by Rye Hickman!



Series Premiere.


Gerry Duggan and Garry Brown present a massive Double-Length First Issue of their groundbreaking new series!


The sun set on samurai and gunslingers at roughly the same time, but our two leads didn't die off quietly. In the East, Asami, an Onna-musha warrior and female samurai, would rather die with her weapons than surrender them to a sword hunt. In the West, the gunslinger MacRaith follows his revenge to the bitter end and pays the ultimate price.


The future lovers are mortally wounded a world apart and awake together in a purgatory ruled by a ruthless society of damned warriors. This one has it all-action, the dead, the dying, the undead, and of course Romance.



Hi, Ghouls! Rainbow-striped flags are flying everywhere, which must mean it's the best time of year: Pride Month!


At Monster High, everyone belongs, and Pride Month is a time to skelebrate and show extra love to the LGBTQIA+ community.


First, Hannah Templer and Siobhan Keenan conjure a story about expectations and role models. Clawdeen and Toralei are claws over tails for each other but their summer DIY project, and a group of mischievous gnomes, is threatening the ghouls' relationship! Meanwhile, Ghoulia is writing fan fiction and is on the verge of starting a shipping war!


Then, Megan Brown and Bowen McCurdy brew a fang-tastic love story. Kieran Valentine thinks love sucks. He enlists the help of his (very cute) Bite-ology partner, Spelldon Cauldronello, to create a potion that will drain him of the feeling forever. But after spending time with Spelldon, will he have the guts to follow through?


Get in from the start as IDW kicks off a whole new run of comics set on the most spooktacularly inclusive campus!



Flying from the screen to the page, it's Superman!


Picking up from the explosive end of season one, Clark's about to spend Christmas alone in Metropolis. Though he's feeling a bit down and out, a tip about a monster in the sewers sends Superman, Lois, and Jimmy into action! But what is this monster that can absorb anything it touches, and why is it here in Metropolis?


Written by the head writer of My Adventures with Superman, Josie Campbell, and drawn by Pablo M. Collar, this series brings the hit show to your hands with an all-new adventure!



Mini-Series Premiere.


Thirty-five years before the events of Little Bird Volume 1: The Fight for Elder's Hope, disillusioned mod-tracker Max Weaver's routine hunt for a modified child takes a grisly and unexpected turn.


Now, saddled with an unpredictable mod who may be the key to unlocking his missing memories, Max will soon find that he isn't the only one interested in the child's unique abilities-and if he wants to know more, it's going to cost him everything.


Eisner Award-winning creative team Darcy Van Poelgeest and Ian Bertram reunite for their gripping return to the dystopian American Empire.



Solving murders in Los Angeles is the daily bread of private detective Will Profane, but something is strange about his latest case. When every clue points toward a famous detective novelist at the center of this mystery, Will's world will transform into something truly unreal.


Discover a new mind-bending thriller from legendary writer Peter Milligan (Hellblazer, X-Statix, Shade, The Changing Man) and veteran artist Raul Fernandez (Detective Comics, Justice League Dark) about the precariously thin line between reality and fiction-perfect for fans of BANG! and Newburn.
