Wednesday is absolutely stacked with new releases across virtually every major publisher. From the next chapter of Marvel’s mutant revolution to DC’s expanding Absolute Universe, plus major launches from Image, Dark Horse, IDW, Dynamite, BOOM!, and more, there’s no shortage of books competing for your attention.
The latest X-Men event kicks off as the X-Virus threatens humanity and mutantkind alike. This is Marvel’s biggest launch of the week and appears central to the publisher’s mutant line moving forward.
THE X-VIRUS UNLEASHED!
The X-Men and 3K. Each steered by an original heir of Xavier, each with their own vision for the mutant people. Each at one another’s throats. Cyclops and the Chairman both experienced the future of the Age of Revelation and came home with a renewed mission: the X-Men to prevent that future. 3K to own it. While the X-Men seek out the Fantastic Four to help save one of their own, the White Beast begins his plan to unleash the X-Virus in a major populated area! EVOLUTION IS CONTAGIOUS!
The Absolute Universe continues to grow with Cassandra Cain taking center stage in one of the most anticipated first issues of the year.
SPINNING OUT FROM ABSOLUTE CATWOMAN COMES THE ABSOLUTE DEMON’S HAND! Years ago, The Joker trained with the League of Assassins, and when he learned all he could, he slaughtered everyone. But out of the wreckage of what was left came Lady Shiva and her daughter, CASSANDRA CAIN. Learn the origin of the Absolute Universe’s most formidable assassin and how her story is one that is intertwined with the world’s greatest thief, Selina Kyle, Catwoman!
The next major horror launch from Image arrives with huge collector buzz and a massive variant cover program.
Among killers-for-hire, there are a select few feared even among other assassins. The enigmatic Fox Mask Killer is at the top of that list.
But now she wants the one thing even she can’t have — she wants out. And the only person who can offer her an opportunity to get away from her old life may be the devil herself…
Discover the thrilling — and tragic — backstory of EXQUISITE CORPSES’ most emblematic killer, as brought to life by breakout creators CHE GRAYSON (Absolute Catwoman), ADAM GORHAM (Infernal Hulk), JORDIE BELLAIRE (Absolute Wonder Woman), and BECCA CAREY (RADIANT BLACK)!
Dark fantasy returns to one of gaming’s most beloved settings in a new series from Dark Horse.
Ravenloft is falling apart, and nobody knows why. Fortunately, monster hunter Ez D’Avenir is on the case! She’s searching the frozen wasteland of Lamordia for an undead creature that may hold the key to Ravenloft’s fate. But when Darklord Viktra Mordenheim catches wind of her quest, Ez is suddenly the one being hunted!
Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 16 continues one of the biggest modern shonen series currently being published in English, while Sakamoto Days Vol. 23 remains one of the hottest action-comedy manga on shelves. For new readers, Shiba Inu Rooms Vol. 1 offers one of September’s most notable new series debuts.
Also note that Saturday (9/19) is Batman Day; DC is offering Batman Day 2026: Batman of Two Worlds #1 along with some reprints.
September is a very strong month for manga readers, with new volumes from several of the industry’s biggest series arriving in North America. Among the notable releases available this month are:
I’ll be picking up Absolute Cassandra Cain: The Shadow’s Hand, Absolute Green Arrow, Avengers: Armageddon #4, Batwoman #7, Deathstroke: The Terminator #7, Detective Comics #1113, Exquisite Corpses: Fox Mask Killer #1, G.I. Joe #26, New Titans #39, Nightwing #142, and Viking Moon #4, along with Saturday’s Batman Day 2026: Batman of Two Worlds #1. I’m also considering The Big Shakedown #1 and Ofiusa #1.
I want to read the X-Men DNX event, but I haven’t kept up with the post-Krakoa era of X-Men books. This is probably one I’ll read on the Marvel Unlimited app in 3 months, unless I heard bad things like Age of Revelation.
