One of the hardest and most frustrating things about finding new comics to read and enjoy is finding a good jumping on point. It can be confusing and disheartening to pick up a single issue from the middle of an arc without having the context of the previous chapters.
With that in mind, here are some titles kicking off new story arcs and a few interesting #1’s premiering this upcoming New Comic Book Day, Wednesday, June 02, 2021.
New Arcs:
The Amazing Spider-Man # 67, Marvel
‘Chameleon Conspiracy, Part One
In the wake of King’s Ransom, Spidey’s journey takes a BIG turn. The revelation of Giant-Size Amazing Spider-Man: King’s Ransom was huge, but you don’t understand half of what it actually means. But you should know that the Chameleon is making his biggest play ever as Chameleon Conspiracy begins here!’

‘New Story Arc
The crew is exploring the secret underwater facility they arrived at, but it seems there is still no trace of Pam… What’s the mystery behind this place? How will they be able to find Pam?

Batman The Adventures Continue Season Two #1, DC
‘Gotham City is changing. After Mayor Hill is killed by a mysterious assailant, Batman finds himself tracking down an ancient order that’s long been buried under the streets of Gotham: the Court of Owls.

Crush & Lobo #1, DC
‘In case anyone was wondering, Crush is doing just fine, actually. Sure, she recently walked away from her classmates at the Roy Harper Titans Academy and effectively quit being a Teen Titan in a blaze of glory. And okay, her relationship with her too-good-to-be-true girlfriend Katie is kind of on the rocks, if you want to get all technical about it.
Oh, and she recently found out Lobo’s in space jail, but that’s cool, because he’s the worst. Okay, maybe Crush has some stuff, but that doesn’t mean she’s gonna do anything about it, like actually go to space and confront her dad and all her problems, because everything is fine. . . Right?’
Notable #1’s Also Dropping This Week:

But after the hardest year of their lives, nobody was going to turn down Walter’s invitation to an astonishingly beautiful house in the woods, overlooking an enormous sylvan lake. It’s beautiful, it’s opulent, it’s private—so a week of putting up with Walter’s weird little schemes and nicknames in exchange for the vacation of a lifetime? Why not? All of them were at that moment in their lives when they could feel themselves pulling away from their other friends; wouldn’t a chance to reconnect be…nice?

The Conjuring: The Lover #1, Dark Horse
‘The terrifying debut of the tie-in to The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It begins here, with a story that’s bursting at the seams with clues about the new film.
Meet Jessica. Jessica just returned to her freshman year of college after winter break, bringing with her the anxieties of last semester’s poor grades, the awkwardness of facing a boy she wishes she’d never slept with, and an undeniably unnerving feeling of being watched.
She soon comes to realize that something evil made her its target, and it will not rest until it has her in its unholy grip.
But why did this sinister presence set its sights on a seemingly normal college freshman? Read this nerve-racking tale, creepily crafted by Conjuring screenwriter David L. Johnson-McGoldrick and Rex Ogle with heart-stopping art from Garry Brown and chill-inducing covers by Bill Sienkiewicz, to find out!’
