Here are 50 comic books scheduled to be released on July 10, 2024.
This is just a small sample of the new releases hitting the shops this week; you can find a full list of titles at the New Comic Book Release List. I used my own bias in picking out which issues to highlight here, with an emphasis on traditional long-running series and ones most likely appeal to a general audience. The titles are listed in alphabetical order.
Only issues with a cover price less than $10 are shown here (with the majority being only $3.99 or $4.99 each). Only the regular covers ("cover A") are shown, not any of the variant covers (which sometimes cost more than the regular edition).
Previews of the first few interior pages of many of these comics are available to view online. I have provided links to the previews for each issue if I know about a preview (and "N/A" if I don't). That may save you the trouble of wanting to peek inside the comic when you see it on the shelf of your local comics shop!
So, what comics are you looking forward to this week?
