DC K.O. #3 (DC, $5.99): Scott Snyder and Javier Fernandez continue the Omega Tournament as the “elite eight” are put to the ultimate test and confronted with a decades-long stay in their own personal hell. Emotions run high as heroes falter, villains revel and the Heart of Apokolips eyes its new King Omega.
Gunslinger Spawn #50 (Image Comics, $4.99): Todd McFarlane celebrates another 50th issue with part two of an oversized story crossing over into all three of the #50 issues arriving in the coming months for King Spawn, Gunslinger Spawn and The Scorched. An ancient force, almost as old as time itself, has returned, and Spawn is in its sights. The story, split into two chapters per issue, will be penciled by Stephen Segovia and Carlo Barberi.
Knull #1 (Marvel, $5.99): Al Ewing, Tom Waltz and Juanan Ramirez launch a new series featuring the return of the King in Black. Weakened from his last death and trapped by an enemy he never expected, the God of the Void waits in a cage once again. His captors think Knull has nothing to fight back with, but in Knull’s hands, nothing is a weapon.
Tomb Raider: Sacred Artifacts #1 (Dark Horse, $4.99): Casey Gilly and Antonio Di Caprio launch an all-new four-issue series as Lara Croft returns to comics. When Croft Manor goes up in flames, it forces Lara to take stock of her life and figure out what was important to her.

Dungeons of Doom #1 (Marvel, $5.99): Phillip Kennedy Johnson, Benjamin Percy, Carlos Magno and Robert Gill deliver an oversized issue spinning out of One World Under Doom. With Doom’s castle empty and masterless, the superpowers of the world race to claim and control the untold power and technology inside. But when an explosion sends them all plummeting into a dungeon labyrinth that none of them knew was there, what began as an arms race becomes a terrifying game of survival.
Alice Forever After #1 (BOOM! Studios, $4.99): Dan Panosian and Giorgio Spalletta return to Wonderland as Alice faces her most perilous adversary yet — her own past. It’s been years since Alice returned to the real world, now living peacefully with her curious young daughter Evelyn. Beyond the looking glass, things are far from what they once were as the realm cracks and crumbles into decay. A resentful Cheshire Cat seeks out the one thing that can fix what’s broken, but this time, it isn’t Alice he’s set his sights on — it’s Evelyn.
Logan: Black, White & Blood #1 (Marvel, $5.99): Wolverine’s long and violent history is showcased in new tales in brutal black, white and red. Tom Waltz and Alex Lins reveal Logan’s never-before-revealed military service during the 1950s with a secret connection to a fan-favorite Marvel character. Saladin Ahmed and Adam Kubert send Logan on a mission in seedy 1970s Times Square on the trail of a deranged serial killer. And classic Wolverine scribe Larry Hama teams with Dave Wachter to deliver a survival story after Logan escapes from Weapon X.

Cyberpunk 2077: Chrome #1 (Dark Horse, $4.99): Doug Wagner and Tommaso Bennato launch a four-issue dark comedy horror set in the world of Cyberpunk 2077, created in close collaboration with CD Projekt Red.

Rumor has it the place is haunted, and they’re about to find out in Night City there are things far more frightening than ghosts.
Luna Snow: World Tour #1 (Marvel, $4.99): Greg Pak, Ario Anindito and Takeshi Miyazawa launch an all-new adventure featuring the K-pop superhero. As the world recovers from Doctor Doom’s takeover, Luna Snow — whose team supported Doom — hits her lowest low yet. So she takes her music into her own hands and hits the road. But when a new K-pop star appears with music that’s so catchy it’s criminal, Luna has to shift into hero mode to defend the very fans who can’t stand her right now.
Where Does the Rainbow End? #1 (Mad Cave Studios, $4.99): Stefano Cardoselli and Francesca Perillo launch a four-issue prequel to their robot love story Love Me: A Romance Story. We’ll learn more about the tragic history of Gilda, who was raised by the robots after her parents abandoned her.
