Another GREAT REVIEW for @darkhorse.com THE SMART DIVISION #1, from myself, @johnjpearson.bsky.social and Hass. "We read The Smart Division #1, and this is exactly the kind of sci-fi detective setup that gets my attention fast." - @comicswarlocks.bsky.social comicswarlocks.com/2026/08/04/t...

If there’s no murder, is it even a Hellfire Gala? The issue brought the fashion, the characters, the mystery… everything we wanted to read, and a very satisfying ending. Looking forward to next year’s Gala already. ✨

Didn’t read Marvel’s Civil War II but want to nod wisely when people mention it? Fear not. The Warlocks have entered the battlefield. @brianmbendis.bsky.social @davidmarquez.bsky.social

We’re happy to share that all the expectations for Queen In Black were met. The symbiote waves, Knull being back, Hela’s new outfit… it was everything we wanted and were so excited to read every single issue of this crossover. And this Peach Momoko cover is gorgeous. 🖤

Jem and the Holograms completely won us over. The art is pure colorful pop chaos, and the music actually works on the page. Read our full review of Book One on the blog ✨ @kellythompson.bsky.social @mooncalfe1.bsky.social @boom-studios.com

We love Hela, so we definitely needed a couple blind bags for Queen in Black! We didn’t get very lucky, but at least we also bought these amazing Peach Momoko covers. 🖤

The first issue of ‘The Day Everything Changed’ from @riffagemedia.bsky.social surprised us with how much heart it has beneath the post-apocalyptic survival story. The emotional core is what really makes this one stand out. Read our full review on the blog ☣

No Gods, No Masters looks like a kaiju story with actual human weight behind the destruction, and that has us very curious. Read the full article on the blog 🦖 @julioanta.bsky.social @jacobysalcedo.bsky.social @francescosegala.bsky.social

Even the Warlocks are divided on Civil War II. We love a moral dilemma: punching before or after things go awry?

‘Six of Us’ is probably one of our most anticipated new announcements. A Hollywood noir from the full creative team behind The Vision? We’re already in. Read the full article on the blog 🎬 @tomking.bsky.social @claytoncowles.bsky.social @darkhorse.com

'Six of Us' Digs Up Hollywood's Darkest Secrets This September - Comics Warlocks

We'll admit it: a Hollywood noir is not the genre we expected to see Tom King tackle next, and that's exactly why we're curious. Six of Us, a new six-issue
