WHAT’S ON THE SHELF, SEPTEMBER 16TH – THE BIG 2

The heavy hitters live here. From Marvel and DC’s biggest heroes to major events, new series, and must-read releases, this is where we track the books shaping the mainstream comic book conversation.

What’s on the Shelf is built from distributor order forms and shipping date information, giving fans a heads-up on what may be landing at their local comic shops. This September 16 list is an early two-weeks-out look, so details can change before release day. As always, not every shop orders every title, variant, or edition, so if you’re hunting for something specific, hit up your local comic shop. WEPA!

PLEASE NOTE: Not all titles listed will arrive in every store. Information sourced from ComicList.Info and distributor data including Lunar Distribution, Penguin Random House, and Manage Comics.
