Joe Benitez is back doing interiors for Lady Mechanika, and that alone is reason enough to get excited. Lady Mechanika: The Mechanical Menagerie #1 will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, May 6, 2026 with Madeleine Holly-Rosing writing, Martin Montiel on art alongside Benitez, and Sabine Rich on colors. Three kids stumble onto an abandoned amusement park and wake up mechanical horrors, forcing Lady Mechanika to team up with Inspector Singh to track down Mistress Grimm before more people get hurt.

Sometimes a comic just hits differently. D’orc dropped from Image Comics and immediately sold out. The second printing? Nearly 25,000 orders. That’s not normal for a new series, and it’s got people comparing it to launches like Saga, The Department of Truth, and Stray Dogs. Brett Bean created this half-dwarf, half-orc character who’s supposedly fated to destroy the world, but he’s just trying to make friends. He’s got a magic shield that won’t shut up and a ghost chicken with its head cut off as companions. The book mixes high fantasy with deadpan humor and serious violence, and readers are connecting with it hard.
Comic book fans have been buzzing about Curt Pires’ Lost Fantasy, and for good reason. The series has once again sold out completely at the distributor level, prompting Image Comics to fast-track issue #2 for another reprint to meet the overwhelming demand from readers and retailers alike.
Forget the hype. Redcoat #14 is coming to drag us through the ashes of American history this August, and it’s about time.
