Darren Aronofsky’s Human Nature #1
Abrams ComicArts
Written by Ari Handel, Darren Aranofsky, & Jeff Welch
Art by Martin Morazzo & Chris O’Halloran
Letters by Aditya Bidikar
Cover Art by Morazzo & O’Halloran
From Academy Award- nominated Darren Aronofsky and his film-making partner Ari Handel – the writer-producer-director team behind the Oscar award-winning Black Swan and instant classics The Fountain and Mother! – along with Jeff Welch comes a social satire of a bizarre yet fathomable future.
Drawn by comic book industry giant Martín Morazzo, Human Nature follows the ego-maniacal, Nebraska-based chicken magnate Duke. Duke has almost all the world’s resources at his disposal. Once a lowly everyday man, Duke managed to work (and intimidate) his way into an endless fortune. However, even though he has almost everything, there’s one thing even the richest man in the world can’t buy: immortality. Or can he?
Find out how a wealthy, lonely man tries to scheme his way into beating death, and the earth-shattering consequences of his actions! Strange, thought-provoking, and, at times, gruesome, read the mini-series Human Nature to get a glimpse of a future resulting from unchecked greed, corporate corruption, and ethically questionable science.
Release Date: July 23, 2025
PCS NOTES: This is an interesting concept.
Godzilla #1
IDW Publishing
Written by Tim Seeley
Art by Nikola Čižmešija, Francesco Segala, & Gloria Martinelli
Letters by Nathan Widick
Cover Art by Čižmešija
THE KAI-SEI ERA, IDW’S NEW GODZILLA UNIVERSE, STARTS HERE!
In 1954, experimentation with a mysterious energy source known as Kai-Sei awakened Godzilla and a host of immortal kaiju. In the years that followed, humanity has been pummeled by near-constant monster attacks. While Japan has begun to treat the kaiju like natural disasters, understanding that their attempts to fight Godzilla only make the threat worse, the American G-Force is going to fight, fight, fight.
The Americans have just discovered the ultimate tool in the fight against kaiju: a young boy named Jacen with the power of Godzilla. Able to harness the mysterious Kai-Sei in the same vein as the King of the Monsters, this boy will either save the world… or bring about its doom.
Join Tim Seeley (Grayson, Hack/Slash, Local Man) and Nikola Čižmešija (Sword of Azrael, Batman and Robin) on the ride of a lifetime!
Release Date: July 23, 2025

Cover Art by Hurtt
AFTER 15 YEARS AND A MILLION BULLETS . . . THE SIXTH GUN IS REBORN!
In 1866, out of the ruins of the failed Confederate uprising, a race to claim six objects of unfathomable occult power began, thrusting the fate of humanity into the hands of an ordinary young woman and a hard-nosed gunslinger who, together, were our last, best hope to forestall Armageddon. They prevailed, but at a terrible price.
But that was then. This is now. Three decades later, as the gears of a new millennium begin to grind on the cusp of the 20th century, THE SIXTH GUN is about to be REBORN once more—as it has been countless times across the eons. This time, however, a brigade of familiar fighters lies in wait to meet THE SIXTH GUN’s nigh-limitless power head on . . . alongside a secret cabal that wish to harness its unspeakable power to incept a new century of war, genocide, and suffering. Only one can survive to claim victory. THE BATTLE FOR THE SIX starts now!
In celebration of 15 years of one of the most beloved smash-hits in the history of creator-owned comics, return to the Eisner Award–nominated world of THE SIXTH GUN as co-creators Cullen Bunn (Harrow County) and Brian Hurtt (The Midnite Show) reunite for an all-new, self-contained entry point into the acclaimed saga that fantasy icon Michael Moorcock calls “an epic in its own right”—as told across three extra-sized, ad-free issues in a deluxe prestige format!
