WHAT’S ON THE SHELF, SEPTEMBER 30TH – PREMIER PUBLISHERS

Beyond Marvel and DC, the shelves stay stacked. Dark Horse, Dynamite, IDW, Image and Titan are bringing horror, science fiction, licensed favorites and creator-driven heat to comic shops on September 30.

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 30, 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.
