Can’t Wait for Wednesday | Enter the ‘Dark Pyramid’

See what new comics and graphic novels arrive this week.

Welcome to Can’t Wait for Wednesday, your guide to what comics are arriving in comic book stores, bookstores and on digital.

I’ve pulled out some of the highlights for this week below, but for the complete list of everything you might find at your local comic shop and on digital this week, you’ll want to check out one or more of the following:

As a reminder, things can change and what you find on the above lists may differ from what’s actually arriving in your local shop. With Diamond going through bankruptcy proceedings, distribution has become even more questionable, with deliveries and arrival dates changing. So check with your retailer to see what’s arriving at their shop this week.

Dark Pyramid #1 (Mad Cave, $4.99): Described as a combination of “pulse-pounding adventure, chilling horror and high-stakes mystery,” this new miniseries by Paul Tobin and PJ Holden takes place in Alaska, specifically on and underneath Mt. Denali, as the girlfriend of a live-streaming adventurer searches for her missing boyfriend.

Assorted Crisis Events #1 (Image Comics, $4.99): Deniz Camp and Eric Zawadzki present a new anthology series with a shared theme — time is having a crisis, and “actual cavemen, medieval knights, and cyborg soldiers on leave from World War IV” are all milling around town. Each issue will feature a different story set in a world where time is falling apart.

Nick Fury vs. Fin Fang Foom #1 (Marvel, $4.99): J. Michael Straczynski and Elena Casagrande present another unlikely team-up by the former Captain America writer, this time pitting Nick Fury against the space dragon Fin Fang Foom.

Welcome to Twilight #1 (Dark Horse, $4.99): The powerhouse combo of Matt Fraction and Mike Allred venture into Patton Oswalt and Jordan Blum’s Minor Threats universe “to tell a twisted noir tale about fame, dames and homunculus-faced mobsters.”

El Fuego (Oni Press, $34.99): David Rubin writes and draws this apocalyptic graphic novel about the architect of a moon citadel built to save the rich from an extinction level event.

Holy Lacrimony (Drawn and Quarterly, $24.95): The latest graphic novel from Michael DeForge is about an alien abductee whose captors make him perform his sadness over and over as they try to understand it.
