New Comic Books This Week: Your September 9, 2026 Pull List Guide

Editor’s Picks of the Week
DC Pick: Batman: Bad Seeds – Gotham Central #1
Christopher Cantwell brings readers back to Gotham’s streets with a police-focused story tied to the larger Batman: Bad Seeds event. Fans of the original Gotham Central should have this at the top of their pull list.
A killer is on the loose, someone is stalking Arkham Towers’ Dr. Zeller, the subways are out of control, and Anarky’s just pulled a big-time heist! With Vandal Savage diverting the GCPD’s resources to his single-minded war against the Bats and the Bat-Family trying to stop Poison Ivy while evading the GCPD, there’s almost no one left to do actual police work! Looks like officers Gordon and Espinoza have their work cut out for them.
Image Pick: Spawn ’77 #1
Todd McFarlane revisits one of the earliest concepts for Spawn, creating what could become one of the week’s hottest collector books. Long-time Spawn fans won’t want to miss this debut.
In 1977, a young artist had his first ideas for a character he would name Spawn. That man was TODD McFARLANE. Now, 49 years later, Spawn is an international sensation that has spawned (pun intended) a movie, toys, games, and an animated series. It has been translated into over a dozen languages with fans across the globe.
Now, in collaboration with acclaimed artist MARK SPEARS, TODD McFARLANE brings a vision of his original idea to the Spawn Universe. A completely new and exciting take on the fan-favorite character. Covers from MARK SPEARS, TODD McFARLANE, EMMA RIOS, SHAWN CRYSTAL, and more. A wickedly different version of Spawn starts here.
Marvel Pick: Marvel Gold ’76 #1
Marvel celebrates the Bronze Age with an oversized special bringing together an eclectic lineup that includes Jack of Hearts, Nova, Star-Lord, and Bullseye. The nostalgic concept, anniversary branding, and collector appeal make this one of Marvel’s most intriguing releases of the week. It also stands out as a key speculative book thanks to its unique character mix and potential impact on future Marvel storytelling.
JACK OF HEARTS, NOVA, STAR-LORD AND… BULLSEYE!?
THANOS has hired BULLSEYE to pull the trigger… and this time, the shot could end everything! As the DEADLIEST ASSASSIN IN THE MARVEL UNIVERSE hunts his target through New York City, STAR-LORD, NOVA and JACK OF HEARTS clash with Bullseye in a brutal, zero-room-for-error fight against the inevitable. Don’t miss one of the most intense superhuman battles in Marvel history by best-selling DAREDEVIL writer, STEPHANIE PHILLIPS, and rising star artist of STAR WARS: SHADOW OF MAUL, MADIBEK MUSABEKOV.
Indie Pick: Six of Us #1 (Dark Horse)
The acclaimed creative team of Tom King and Gabriel Walta reunites for a murder mystery centered around a group of friends. It’s one of the most anticipated creator-driven books of the month.
Six actors built America’s favorite sitcom. Millions tuned in. Billboards lit the skyline. Then one of them died…
A beloved cast member of a hit ensemble sitcom dies under mysterious circumstances, sending shockwaves through Hollywood and revealing the secrets, betrayals, and desires lurking beneath the glittering facade. As the surviving cast members confront their past; old rivalries and hidden truths emerge and the line between life and performance begins to blur.
Tom King, Gabriel Hernández Walta, and Jordie Bellaire — creators of the Eisner Award-winning The Vision — deliver a brutal Hollywood noir: a story about grief, ambition, and the lies we tell to keep the show alive.
Best New #1 Issue: The Forever Home #1 (Oni Press)
Christian Ward launches a new sci-fi horror series that already has considerable buzz among retailers and readers. If you’re looking for a potential breakout indie hit, start here.
THEY HAVE ALL THE TIME IN THE WORLD… WILL IT BE ENOUGH TO SAVE THEM? From comics superstar Christian Ward (Event Horizon: Dark Descent, Batman: City of Madness) and visionary artist Sami Kivelä (Abbott), prepare to challenge the limits of time, technology, and human endurance itself as one family’s refuge from the end of the world becomes a mind-bending nightmare reaching far beyond the future. Inside: Time stands still. But outside: Something even worse than the apocalypse awaits…
Famed scientist Henry D’mour tried to save the world. He failed. But, in a desperate bid to save himself, his wife, and their two children, he constructed THE FOREVER HOME — an ark of luxury and ultramodern convenience insulated from the agony of the planet’s death throes outside its walls… and even time itself. Inside THE FOREVER HOME, only 20 minutes pass for every year on the outside… allowing the D’mour family to slowly enact their plans for a new world as their automated environment and robotic companions keep them safe. Safe on the inside. Always inside. Until a childish misstep accidentally breaks THE FOREVER HOME’s barrier… and what’s outside decides it wants back in…
