WHAT’S ON THE SHELF, OCTOBER 7TH – THE BIG 2

The heavy hitters are back, fam. Marvel and DC roll into October 7 with Batman, the Absolute line, new Midnight Universe launches, oversized collections, facsimiles and enough variants to make your pull list beg for mercy.

What’s on the Shelf is built from distributor order forms and shipping-date information, giving fans an early look at what may be landing at their local comic shops. Not every shop orders every title, variant or edition, so check directly with your retailer if you are hunting a specific release.

PLEASE NOTE: This October 7, 2026 list is a one-week advance preview. Shipping information can change, and not every title will arrive in every store. “AR” means Ask Your Retailer for the price.
