WHAT’S ON THE SHELF, SEPTEMBER 23RD – THE BIG 2

The heavy hitters live here, fam. Marvel and DC are loading up September 23 with superhero warfare, major variants, collected editions and enough wallet damage to make New Comic Book Day feel like a financial boss battle.

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 September 23, 2026 list is a two-week advance preview. Shipping information can change, and not every title will arrive in every store. “AR” means Ask Your Retailer for the price.
