After spending the last week in some form of darkness thanks to load-shedding, the arrival of a new month and new comics couldn’t be more welcome. July sees a wide variety of new releases, from the continuation of existing comic runs to many brand new runs.

From another chapter in the much-anticipated “The Magic Order” series to a reprint of the beloved Once & Future series and even a brand new Shang-Chi And The Ten Rings title to look forward to, there is a comic for everyone this July.

Regardless of if you’re just in the mood to browse through the new comic solicitations for July or actively looking to pick up a few to make load-shedding feel a little less bleak, we’ve got you covered with this post. Remember to check out our other monthly posts while you’re at it to stay up to date with everything coming to Netflix or stay on top of all the new video games coming your way.
