The comic book release lineup for September 23, 2026, features new titles and major storylines from publishers like Marvel, DC, Image, and Mad Cave Studios. Featured highlights include the buildup to Marvel’s Hulk War event, DC’s Absolute Universe series, and several original indie series launches.
Key debuts include a comedy-action series from Image Comics and a licensed Escape From New York spinoff. The weekly slate also covers a wide selection of manga releases across action and fantasy genres, offering a diverse array of options for comic readers.
Another huge week of comics is here, bringing major releases from Marvel, DC, Image, BOOM!, Titan, Mad Cave, Oni Press, Ignition Press, Vault Comics, and more. This week’s lineup is headlined by the start of Marvel’s Hulk War buildup, another blockbuster chapter in DC’s Absolute Universe, a pair of intriguing new indie launches, and some strong manga releases for readers looking beyond Western comics.
Marvel kicks off the road to Hulk War as Wolverine takes on the terrifying Infernal Hulk. This feels like one of the publisher’s biggest event books of the season and should be a must-read for both X-Men and Hulk fans.

A Hollywood animal trainer and his gorilla sidekick go on the run after being framed for a crime they didn’t commit. It’s one of the most unique concepts hitting shelves this week.
TWO BEST FRIENDS. A MAN AND HIS APE AGAINST THE WORLD.
A famous Hollywood Animal Trainer, Doctor Kermit Groeden, and his only client/best friend — Amigo the Ape, the first gorilla ever nominated for an Academy Award — are framed for a crime they didn’t commit.
Now they’re on the run. And to clear their names and save their lives, Kermit and Amigo will be forced to reveal their darkest secrets and confront each other’s hidden past. Will their friendship be able to survive? A story about secrets, sins, and simians.
Snake Plissken returns in a brand-new adventure from Mad Cave Studios, making this week’s biggest licensed-comic launch.
Once you go in, you don’t come out—unless your name is Snake Plissken! Plissken now survives as a coyote, smuggling people and contraband across the dangerous dead zones between prison territories like Chicago. It’s a hard and bitter job. But when he’s hired to extract a woman wanted by the city’s warlord, Snake sees one more chance at redemption—or one more chance for the universe to kick his ass.

Manga readers have plenty of great recent releases to catch up on this month, with several major shonen and fan-favorite series releasing new volumes.
Sakamoto Days Vol. 23 continues one of the best action-comedy manga currently on shelves and remains one of the strongest recommendations for readers looking for a blend of comedy, action, and character-driven storytelling.
This week’s strongest books include Infernal Hulk vs. Wolverine #1, Absolute Batman #24, Crimes Against Nature #1, and Escape From New York: Escape From Chicago #1. Whether you’re a superhero fan, horror reader, manga collector, or indie-comics enthusiast, September 23 offers one of the most diverse lineups of the month.
I’m picking up Absolute Batman #24, Dispatched #3, Exquisite Corpses: Rascal Randy #3, The Flash #37, Spider-Man/Hulk: Fire And Brimstone #2, Terminal #3, Void Rivals #34, and Wolverine #28. I’m leaning towards trying Crimes Against Nature #1 and Mad Science Division: The Cold Open #0. I’m on the fence about Miles Morales: Spider-Man #2.
