The series Backrooms is a truly unsettling and mind-bending experience, creating a slowly building sense of dread that makes it a captivating watch. But once it’s over, you don’t have to leave that feeling behind. Comics can help you continue exploring the atmosphere and fear inspired by Backrooms. If you enjoyed the show and are looking for something equally creepy to read, here are five excellent choices – though maybe save them for daytime reading!

Armored Core 6 was excellent due to its combat, which varied depending on the type of mech you built for yourself. At this time of writing, it is unknown whether the mech seen in Gundam Rogue Orbit‘s trailer is the one players will use for the full game, or if there will be levels of customization to the mobile suit. Although not the only Gundam game to be announced this year, Rogue Orbit‘s 2027 release window gives a lot of time for speculation.

A new free update is coming out soon, bringing the game to version 1.70. The biggest addition is five brand-new cars!

That’s a high bar for the sequel to live up to, especially one without Fincher returning (Sorkin takes over directing duties for this). There’s also a major recast, with Jeremy Strong stepping into the role of Zuckerberg, which was played by Jesse Eisenberg in the original. As you’d expect from the Succession star, it looks like a rather unique take. Check out the trailer below:

During a truly packed Nintendo Direct showcase on June 9th, we got a first look at One Piece: Grand Gourmet. This stunning pixel art game features over 400 characters from One Piece, and a premise that’s perfect for longtime fans and newcomers alike. One Piece: Grand Gourmet is a single-player cooking management sim, and it’s joining Bancho the Chefon my wishlist from this year’s Summer Game Fest lineup. Better yet, Grand Gourmet already has a release date. It will hit PC via Steam, Nintendo Switch, Switch 2, iOS, and Android on October 23rd.

It was such a hit that Amazon MGM actually extended its theatrical window, delaying its debut on VoD and eventually streaming. Even the past weekend, it still pulled in almost $500k domestic across Friday-Sunday [via Box Office Mojo], which isn’t bad considering that was its twelfth(!) weekend, and it was already released on digital last month. Now, the time has come for it to start streaming, with it confirmed via a listing that it’ll be on Amazon’s subscription channel MGM+ (formerly Epix), from June 18th, 2026. The ad-free subscription service costs $7.99 per month.

Frank Tieri, Ilias Kyriazis, and Tom Sciolo take readers to ancient Greece and medieval England for the latest installment, an adaptation of The Odyssey. This installment is my favorite so far, taking the story we know and love and putting a fresh coat of Godzilla-colored paint on it. While the back-up story kind of takes away from the overall quality, this still an awesome comic.

Since the game’s demo came out last week, a lot of people have expressed this concern. Fortunately, Capcom has heard the feedback and is already addressing it.

Here is an overview of the game, via PQube:

As a gamer, it’s awesome to see Pearl Abyss really supporting their single-player games. They’ve built a reputation with MMOs, which need constant updates and new content, and they’re bringing that same dedication to these new titles. Honestly, a lot of us who mainly play single-player games aren’t used to developers giving this much post-launch attention, so it’s a really refreshing change!
