New Comics, Graphic Novels and More - FOC 9.8.25
Posted by Agent Myers, 5th September 2025
Agents, sometimes the multiverse doesn’t give you a comic. Sometimes it gives you a deck of cards. This week’s strangest and most unmissable experiment is Ice Cream Man: The Mortal Coil Shuffle, a one-time-only release told through 55 custom-designed cards. No floppies, no collections, no second printings—just a haunting story shuffled, spread, and dealt straight from the abyss. Once it’s gone, it’s gone.
But that’s just the opening draw. Villains unite in Absolute Evil, Darkseid hosts a tournament in DC K.O., the Winchesters hit the road again in Supernatural, and strange visitors in black circle the skies of 1967 Indiana in High Strangeness. And hovering over it all, Marvel opens the doors to the AGE OF REVELATION, where Doug Ramsey commands the world with his voice and rebellion smolders in the shadows.
October’s chill is already creeping in, too. Our Horror Delights section is stacked with vampires, nightmares, and spooky team-ups fit for the season. The future, the uncanny, and the horrifying are all on order this week, so shuffle carefully, Agents, and make sure your pulls are locked before the window closes.

ICE CREAM MAN: The Mortal Coil Shuffle
Continuing their exploration into just what a comic can BE, the award-nominated team responsible for Ice Cream Man—W. Maxwell Prince, Martín Morazzo, and Chris O'Halloran—will push the storytelling envelope with a new Ice Cream Man one-shot tale told across a deck of 55 cards, rather than within the periodical pages of a traditional floppy comic book. Ice Cream Man: The Mortal Coil Shuffle promises an unprecedented sequential storytelling experience told in a manner unlike any other this October from Image Comics.
Ice Cream Man: The Mortal Coil Shuffle is a beautiful, custom-designed deck of cards (featuring custom backs and a custom box, too!). All art is, as ever, by Ice Cream Man stalwarts Morazzo, Chris O’Halloran, and Good Old Neon. Some cards will tell part of the story, while other cards cast inscrutable spells on unwitting characters, and some must be joined with different cards to form a complete piece of art (the card deck’s version of a “spread.”). It's a first-of-its-kind comic experiment, and also, perhaps, the last…
The Mortal Coil Shuffle will be printed once and once only—no second printings, no new runs, and never collected in a trade of any kind. It will exist—and then, like magic—it won’t.
So get ready to Go Fish, Draw Four, Declare War, and (probably) Fold Your Hand in this exciting comic book delivery style—told, of course, in the creepy, strange voice readers have come to expect from Ice Cream Man yarns.
Good luck, and watch out for those Wild Cards!
AGE OF REVELATION
This October, AGE OF REVELATION takes the Marvel Universe ten years into a dark future ruled by Apocalypse’s heir, Doug Ramsey—now known as Revelation. With nothing more than his voice, he has reshaped Earth into the Revelation Territories, a mutant utopia built on an insidious lie.
But the surface stability hides fracture lines. A ragtag X-Men team fights back from the shadows, rebellions simmer in secret, and Revelation himself faces dangers from within. Across the cosmos and deep within the Marvel Universe, the will of Revelation spreads like wildfire—and not every hero will survive.
