Jumping On — Series Premieres, One-Shots, And New Story Arcs Kicking Off On June 5, 2024

One of the most frustrating things about finding new comics to read and enjoy is finding a good jumping on point. It can be confusing and disheartening to pick up a single issue from the middle of an arc without having the context of the previous chapters.

With that in mind, here are a few New Story Arcs, Series Premieres, and One-Shots that caught my eye for this upcoming New Comic Book Day, Wednesday June 5, 2024. 

Featured Series Premieres, One-Shots, and New Story Arcs:

Canto: A Place Like Home #1, Dark Horse Comics

Hang on to your helmets! 

David M. Booher and Drew Zucker team up with colorist Vittorio Astone and letterer AndWorld Design to kick off the next chapter in your favorite clockwork knight’s saga. 

Canto returns after making the ultimate choice to save his people. He has amassed allies in the war against the Shrouded Man, but 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!

Godzilla Rivals: Mothra vs. Hedorah #1, IDW

A meteor crashes outside a small Icelandic village where they’re holding the annual Mothra festival, bringing the remote village to the attention of a dying millionaire. With too many resources at his disposal, he seeks the secrets to eternal life in the crater. What is waiting to seep out into the village, and who could defend it? It’s a cycle of death and rebirth in Godzilla Rivals: Mothra vs. Hedorah.

Profane #1, BOOM! Studios

A new mind-bending thriller comes from writer Peter Milligan and artist Raül Fernandez, blurring the precariously thin line between reality and fiction.

There’s something strange about private detective Will Profane’s latest case in Los Angeles. 

Every clue points toward a famous detective novelist at the center of this mystery, transforming Will’s world into something truly unreal.
