Comic Catalogues - October 2026

Every catalogue below covers December books. Dark Horse solicits a month ahead of everyone else, so its December titles are in the September catalogue.

Spotlight On:

Joker's Christmas Carol
Paul Dini brings the Joker home for the holidays! The Clown Prince of Crime gets a visit from the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Yet to Come, all in classic Batman: The Animated Series style. The perfect stocking stuffer for any Bat-fan on your list!

Maximum X-Men #1
Mutants by birth, heroes by choice! With Earth's Mightiest Heroes gone, Storm and Wolverine assemble Earth's Mightiest Mutants, a team built because nobody else is left, to face the threats no single hero can handle. Storm and Logan leading the charge? I'm in!

Fugitive X-Force #1
Picking up right where Inglorious X-Force left off! Cable's mind is compromised, the team is framed for a crime they didn't commit, and Boom-Boom is calling the shots for the first time ever. X-Force on the run with Tabitha in charge? Count me in, this'll be chaos!

The Princess Murders
From the team behind Feral, Stray Dogs and Hack/Slash comes a fairytale gone very wrong! Wicked stepmothers, fairy godmothers, charming princes, a murderer on the loose and... musical numbers? If Stray Dogs wrecked you, get ready for happily never after.
