Days of Future Keys Episode 1.
Welcome to Days of Future Keys — the show where we look ahead at upcoming comic releases that could matter before the hype hits.
In this episode, we break down the key comics releasing Wednesday, February 4th, using real data from the Key Collector app to explain:
• Why each book is being flagged as a key
• What’s happening in the story
• Which first appearances, new characters, or major moments collectors should be watching
• And whether a book is a must-pull, a spec play, or just one to keep an eye on
This week’s episode includes Marvel, DC, Image, and Dark Horse releases — from wild crossovers and new #1s to first appearances that could sneak up on people.
No hype.
No guesswork.
Just future-facing collector insight — so you can be early instead of pretending later.
