Top Comics This Week: November 5th, 2025
Is your comic pull list is feeling a little too tame lately? Well, not this week, because this week’s comic drops are here to kick it into chaos.We’ve got martial arts madness, alien warfare, supernatural noir, and emotionally charged wrestling arcs—all wrapped in gorgeous art and genre-bending storytelling. Whether you’re craving cursed fists, existential space drama, or meta Starfleet mischief, these five new releases are ready to wreck your brain (and your feels).
1. Orphan and the Five Beasts: Bath of Blood #2 — Dark Horse Comics
James Stokoe’s kung-fu fever dream continues as Orphan Mo and her bandit crew team up with Inspector Xiao to hunt down the third Beast. But surprise—an old enemy crashes the party and things get gloriously messy. Expect psychedelic fight scenes, sharp banter, and visuals that punch harder than the characters.
2. The Fourth Rope #3 — TOKYOPOP
Mazi Bullox is back in the ring and out for redemption. After a brutal loss, he jumps into a chaotic match to help Fright Night, wins back the crowd, and gets offered a high-stakes death match. Oh, and there’s a reunion with Lani that gets interrupted—because drama never taps out. Wrestling, heart, and emotional body slams galore.
3. Alien vs. Captain America #1 — Marvel Comics
Hydra’s latest scheme? Weaponizing xenomorphs. Yep. Baron Strucker stumbles into a nest of alien nightmares in the Himalayas, and now Cap and the Howling Commandos have to clean up the mess. It’s WWII pulp meets sci-fi horror, and it’s as bonkers as it sounds. Come for the shield throws, stay for the screams.
4. Valiant Beyond: Tales of the Shadowman #3 — Alien Books
The arc finale is here, and it’s dripping with supernatural grit. Twist’s killing spree escalates, and only Shadowman and Detective Alyssa Myles can stop him. But they’ll need the perfect plan—and maybe a miracle. Packed with action, intrigue, and eerie vibes, this issue wraps the first arc with style and stakes.
5. Star Trek: Redshirts #4 — IDW Publishing
The expendables are anything but expendable in this hilariously self-aware space romp. The Redshirts are done being cannon fodder and are ready to rewrite their fate—one sarcastic quip and chaotic mission at a time. Think Lower Decks energy with a side of existential crisis and phaser fire.
Read Fast, Feel Deep, and Stretch Before Impact
This week’s comics are not here to whisper—they’re here to scream, kick, and emotionally unravel you. Whether you’re into cursed fists, cosmic horror, haunted detectives, or Starfleet sass, these stories deliver drama with flair. So hydrate, brace your soul, and dive in. Your nerdy heart deserves it.
