Andrea’s Frigid Picks for 01.28.2026

Hi Comic Shop Friends! We hope you’re all staying warm out there while these single digit temps continue. If you want to brave the cold and stock up on some reading material, we’re here to recommend our favorites, and with a ton of new comics this week! MARVEL COMICS Iron Man is back in a new ongoing series from Joshua Williamson and Carmen Carnero! Tony Stark’s genius saved his life when he created the Iron Man armor to survive, but what if he wasn’t the only great once-in-a-century scientific mind? Working with A.I.M., Madame Masque wants to find the next Tony Stark, and Tony has led her straight to the top contenders. Years ago, he had an idea, a “new nightmare”, and the contingencies he put into place may now be in the hands of A.I.M.

After helping Spider-Man stop Electro and Boomerang, Peter takes the new hero under his wing...
