The comic book releases for the week of September 9, 2026, feature prominent new debuts and issues across major and indie publishers. Top highlighted titles include police-focused Gotham stories, early concepts for Spawn, Bronze Age Marvel crossovers, Hollywood murder mysteries, and sci-fi horror.
Alongside single-issue comics from publishers like DC, Marvel, Image, and Dark Horse, the lineup includes new manga volumes and debut series. The week provides a wide selection of superhero, action, fantasy, and slice-of-life titles for readers and collectors.
From Gotham’s newest mystery to a return to Spawn’s roots, this week’s New Comic Book Day delivers blockbuster debuts, can’t-miss indie releases, and some outstanding manga collections. Here’s everything you need to know before heading to your local comic shop.
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.
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 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.
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.

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.
