Jumping On– Series Premieres, One-Shots, And New Story Arcs For July 3, 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, July 3, 2023.

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

ThunderCats: Cheetara #1, Dynamite

Cheetara is the best ThunderCat. Full stop. I said what I said.

She’s renowned as a fierce warrior, famous for her lightning-fast speed. Before  the destruction of Thundera and her subsequent arrival on Third Earth, she was a young woman wrapped in a stifling life of Thunderian nobility. And she had secrets.

Soul Taker #1, Mad Cave Studios

There is a sole survivor of an ancient species that has lived among us for millennia. She feeds off the life energies of humanity. Now enjoying a peaceful existence in a retirement community, she continues to consume just enough to survive. Amarantha has made enemies throughout her long life and an ancient foe thought long defeated has returned and is out for blood, while a newer threat seeks to capture her for their own nefarious purposes.

Star Wars: Inquisitors #1, Marvel

The Emperor’s ruthless Inquisitors are among the most skilled and deadly threats to those who served the light side of the force. Buried in the annals of Jedi lore is the story of Tensu Run, a Jedi who faced the Inquisitors and Darth Vader. What became of him, and why does the Empire so greatly fear his existence?
