DH News for the week of 4/20/2026
This is what we call the “week between.” After the high-energy excitement of last week’s Magic Prerelease and Superman Day, things are a bit quieter here in the shop. Don’t get me wrong—we still have plenty of new releases and events to keep you busy—but we are officially on the countdown. The “big thing” is looming: Free Comic Book Day is happening May 2nd! I’ll be diving into all the details for that next week, so stay tuned. For now, let’s get into the great stuff hitting the shelves this week.
This Week's Featured Cards:
2025-26 Upper Deck Skybox Metal Universe Hockey
Prepare to take your collection to another dimension. Metal Universe returns with its iconic 150-card base set, featuring veterans and the highly anticipated 2025-26 rookie class. Keep your eyes peeled for the legendary Precious Metal Gems (PMGs) and high-end inserts like Platinum Portraits and Dark Matter.
Note: As an Upper Deck product, this is available for in-store purchase or phone/mail order only for the first 180 days.
2025-26 Topps Bowman Basketball
The future of the hardwood starts here. This year’s Bowman Basketball brings the "1st Bowman" chase to life with a mix of current NBA stars and the next generation of NCAA prospects. Look for the striking Anime NBA inserts and the NIL-driven Crystallized parallels. These are available in-store starting Wednesday!
This Week's Featured Comics:
As war ravages France, a young girl named Foy lives in relative peace with her father... until tragedy strikes. As Foy struggles to fend for herself, she’s granted a miracle—her father returns from the dead to protect her. Now, they embark on a sacred quest, confronting murderers, wild animals, wandering armies, and black magic plaguing the countryside. As Foy comes face to face with the dark side of miracles and the secrets of the Corpse Knight, she must question if the man by her side has always been a monster...
Corpse Knight #1
Akarat, the ancient legend whose teachings spawned the Zakarum faith, has risen from death. He claims he has returned to spread peace, love, and the Light. His powers healed the leader of the Fox Tribe, and now the barbarians are amongst his most loyal followers. All but Derris. Though his people have sworn themselves to Akarat and the Light, Derris knows that the cycle of violence consumes Sanctuary sooner or later.
Diablo: Dawn of the Hatred #1
Witness Norgal behead mythic beasts while his chatty, severed-witch-head companion, Agatha, provides relentless sass. It’s visually stunning, high-fantasy carnage that proves decapitation is better with company.
