The first New Comic Book Day of August is loaded with major releases from Marvel, DC, Image, BOOM!, Dark Horse, and more. Whether you’re following the latest superhero storylines or looking for a new indie favorite, this week’s lineup has something for every reader.
As expected, the #Cardinals sold off a few players; maybe a few less than I would have liked. Here are the releases from the Cardinals about the 3 deals they conducted and scouting reports on the deals.
roducer extraordinaire Mazare is teaming up with Newshapes on ‘Ego Death’, the title track of his Ego Death EP, which is slated for release on 31 July 2026 via Universal Music Italia.
Jersey City singer-songwriter Eddie Skuller presents ‘You Can Never Hold Back Spring’, a moving rendition of one of Tom Waits’ most quietly affecting songs. Revealing a gentler side of Waits’ catalog, the track replaces grit with tenderness and reflection.
Astoria, Oregon’s The Something Ain’t Rights blend punk, post-punk, country twang, and DIY spirit on their debut EP, Rotten In The Brain, out now via Hovercraft Records. Drawing from decades of underground experience, the band delivers a sharp, energetic statement that feels both timeless and timely.
NYC art-rock provocateurs Ecce Shnak return with “Eddie, Legalistic Homeslice,” the second single from their forthcoming album Dandy Variances, due later this year via Records, Man Records.
Gabe Lerman joins Aaron on the show to discuss his passion for Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB).
Nearly 2 decades after its original release, Nerf Herder’s acclaimed reunion album IV is finally getting the vinyl treatment fans have been waiting for. On Aug 14, Oglio Entertainment will release the album’s first-ever LP pressing.

New York-based power pop band Joy Buzzer have released their latest single, “She Said, She Said,” via Wicked Cool Records, taking on one of The Beatles’ most beloved psychedelic-era tracks and giving it a bold, high-energy makeover.
The trade deadline is Monday, August 3rd, and I expect the Cardinals to be active. I’m hoping as sellers because this team is close, but they won’t compete in the post season with how the roster is currently constructed.
