NCBD week 6: 373 new variants for a total of 187 new issues

Welcome to this weeks edition of New Comic Book Day.

Let’s kick off strong with everyone’s favorite antagonists! In Star Wars: Legacy of Vader #1, published by Marvel Comics, comic giants Charles Soule and Luke Ross join forces and take a deep dive into the obsession Kylo Ren has with Darth Vader. I find your lack of faith disturbing if you’re not totally looking forward to this new ongoing series!

Dynamite Entertainment’s monstrous and merciless one-shot Savage Tales: Winter 2025 Special has some brutal and exciting stories starring fan favorites like Vampirella, John Carter, Dejah Thoris and Red Sonja. Reading this action-packed comic should give you a ripping good time!

And last but not least Batman, Vol. 3 #157 sees the end of Chip Zdarsky’s exciting run on this series, so prepare for an action-packed final story arc with Batman trying everything to save Gotham City once again!

Happy Reading!
