July 2026 Solicitations

[shakalooloo]

I miss the days when we would discuss the monthly new comics solicitations. Therefore, here are three interesting upcoming books that I saw coming up in July!



Jul 8th, 2026
Transformers #34
WHO IS DOCTOR HENRI ARKEVILLE? Optimus's team must help General Flagg with a new mission that brings them face to face with the man who may have discovered a way for humanity to fight back against Autobot and Decepticon alike.

Always thought it a bit weird that Earthspark created Mandroid when they had a perfectly acceptable cyborg mad scientist in the franchise.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer #1
Eisner-winning writer KELLY THOMPSON (Absolute Wonder Woman, Black Widow) and superstar artist STEPHEN BYRNE (Wonder Twins) present a vision of BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER you've got to read to believe! Featuring the comics debut of a beloved Buffy fan-favorite character!

Into every generation, a slayer is born. And Buffy Summers may have broken the mold. Though Buffy's powers were varied and great, it was the love and devotion she inspired that was perhaps her greatest power. And when she gave her life to save the world, the people who loved her couldn't live with that. This is that story.

Kelly Thompson. 'Nuff said.

Imperial Guardians #5
The covert Imperial Guardians — Gamora, Captain Marvel, Amadeus Cho, Darkhawk and Cosmic Ghost Rider — are a spec-ops team run by Maximus of the Inhumans to keep the new Galactic Union safe. Or are they? On a mission to Cinnabar, the Guardians discover just how DIRTY Maximus' dirty tricks can get... and face unexpected enemies eager to take them out! It's cosmic intrigue and danger, yes?

Death's Head!!!

Anybody sadden by Buffy the Vampire Slayer reboot being canceled by Hulu. Buffy was going to be a mentor to a teenage slayer at a high school. The setting was the New Sunnydale Academy, a high school built directly over the ruins of the original Hellmouth.

I guess the show was going to ignore the comic books storylines continuity.

On the one hand, always enjoy some freelance peacekeeping.
On other, that cover having Darkhawk lying face down is not reassuring.
There is a distinct Using-Darkhawk-As-A-Punching-Bag theme going through Imperial Guardians, and it's really detracting from the quality.
(I don't even have much opinion about Chris. Just don't like writers tearing a character down.)

[mastermahan]

I think it's more of a case of the characters treating Chris as the punching bag for being the outsider, rather than the writer. The second issue even had Carol apologize for being such a jerk to him.

Is it just me or is Amadeus Cho in a completely different team every time we see him?
