Welcome back to The Beat Digest, a twice-weekly round-up of the biggest comics-related news stories we’ve missed every Tuesday and Friday. Is there a story out there you think we should cover? Be sure to let us know in the comments.
§ Via The Hollywood Reporter, Aaron Pierre will return as the Green Lantern John Stewart in Man of Tomorrow, the sequel to James Gunn‘s Superman. The paper states most of the cast from the first film are expecting to return, including other supporting metahumans like Isabela Merced‘s Hawkgirl, and Maria Gabriella de Faria‘s Engineer. Production on the sequel will begin in Atlanta in April for a release on July 9, 2027. Pierre will make his DCU debut in the meantime on HBO’s Lanterns in August.
§ Publishers Weekly reports Fantagraphics will publish R.E. Burke‘s memoir Visiting America: 19 Days in an I.C.E. Facility in 2027. You may recall Burke, a Welsh cartoonist, was detained by the agency in March 2025, over supposed issues with her visa during a backpacking trip to the United States and Canada. “The graphic memoir will recount both her incarceration and the stories of the people she was incarcerated with.” Burke previously self-published a comic about her experiences, Diary of a Detainee, at last year’s Thought Bubble.
§ Popverse shares comiXology will release Parapsychologist, a comedic graphic novel by Taki Soma, Mark Schey (Alienated), and Cat Farris (My Boyfriend is a Bear). The book follows Dr. Ron Richards, a psychologist who treats monsters like ghosts and werewolves. “When a former patient arrives intent on destroying him, his practice, and his family, Dr. Richards and his new receptionist must work together to outsmart the evil.” It will be available on Tuesday, March 31.
§ Z2 announced Farewell to Seasons, a “lost rock opera,” created by Pearl Jam guitarist Mike McCready with Mark Sable and Sebastián Píriz. The graphic novel, due out October 6, explores the arrival of grunge in the Seattle music scene in the 1990s, “unflinchingly show[ing] the brutal cost it had for so many artists and musicians as it captures the lived experience of that seminal era. The glory and the heartbreak as it asks the unanswerable question… was it worth it?”
§ Mad Cave will unleash One Path Book Two: The White King, the second entry in Greg Broadmore and Andy Lanning‘s prehistoric fantasy saga, on June 2. The series, which debuted in April 2025, follows the titular cavewoman One Path, who flees from her people after refusing to abandon a “cursed” infant. As she finds a way to ensure it survives, she is pursued by her sister, Una, and now the White King, an albino Tyrannosaurus rex, who is drawn to the child’s power. Four entries are currently planned.
§ Via Gematsu, The Boys: Trigger Warning will arrive on the Meta Quest on Thursday, March 26. The VR game, which allows you to join the titular group, and features voices from the show’s cast, will also be released on the PlayStation VR2 at a later point. The Boys‘ final season will premiere on Prime Video on Wednesday, April 8.
§ Finally, in more video game news, Limited Run will release the Marvel MaXimum Collection on PC and consoles on Friday, March 27.
