    # Comic Book News Roundup

    The comic book world is buzzing with exciting announcements and releases heading into the final days of January 2026. Multiple major publishers are gearing up for what promises to be a thrilling few months ahead.

    Marvel is making waves with The End 2099 #2, hitting shelves this Wednesday, January 28th. The issue unleashes a multiversal war as Spider-Men clash for survival alongside other heroes like Nova 2099, Weapon X, Red Hulk, and House of M's Wanda. Spider-Man 2099 finds himself desperately trying to broker peace amid the chaos while casualties mount and fates change forever in the 2099 Universe.

    The crowdfunding scene is equally vibrant. The acclaimed anthology NEGATIVE BURN is making a triumphant return after nearly two decades away. Under the guidance of original editor Joe Pruett, an Eisner Award winner with over thirty years in the industry, this beloved title is surging past its funding goal with over $11,900 raised toward a $10,000 target. The anthology continues its tradition of being a genre-defying showcase where established talent and rising voices collide in bold, creator-driven storytelling.

    Several other Kickstarter campaigns are capturing reader interest right now. Dragon Grit Volume 1, a fantasy western featuring cowboys who ride dragons, has nearly achieved its $10,000 goal with $12,900 in funding. Horror Not Hate, an anti-fascist horror anthology supporting LGBTQIA+ and immigrant rights, is closing in on its final days with over $13,700 raised. Meanwhile, Evie and the Helsings Volume 1 Trade Paperback, which follows a reluctant vampire hunter who just wants to rock, has nearly hit its $7,000 funding target with just over a week remaining.

    Looking ahead to April, DC Comics and MAD Magazine are joining forces for MAD About DC, a special 64-page one-shot arriving April 1st. Guest edited by acclaimed creator Chip Zdarsky, the issue features contributions from a who's who of comics talent including legendary cartoonist Sergio Aragonés and writers like Scott Snyder, Gail Simone, and Tom Taylor. The collaboration promises playful irreverence and twisted takes on DC's most iconic characters.

    On the Marvel front, the publisher is launching several major initiatives in the coming months. A brand new Spider-Man and Superman crossover is generating buzz, while a brand new Civil War sequel is set to launch in May 2026, written by Christos Gage with art by Edgar Salazar. The original Civil War event will be celebrating its twentieth anniversary this year.

    With major crossovers, returning classics, innovative crowdfunded projects, and publisher-spanning collaborations all happening simultaneously, comic book fans have plenty to celebrate as 2026 continues to unfold.

  • Soaring Superheroes: The Comic Book Scene Ignites in 2026

    Soaring Superheroes: The Comic Book Scene Ignites in 2026
    Jan 18 2026
    # The Comic Book Scene Heats Up in Early 2026

    The comic book world is buzzing with excitement as we head into late January 2026, with major releases, crossovers, and market trends creating a perfect storm of entertainment for fans and collectors alike.

    One of the biggest stories dominating conversations is the continued success of DC's Absolute line, particularly Absolute Batman, which has become a runaway hit reshaping the comic market landscape. The series has captured reader enthusiasm in ways rarely seen in recent years, proving that fresh takes on classic characters still have massive appeal. Meanwhile, Marvel's Ultimate Universe continues its momentum with titles like Ultimate Spider-Man and Ultimate Black Panther generating serious buzz among collectors.

    Speaking of crossovers, fans have plenty to anticipate. Superman and Spider-Man one-shots are coming in 2026, capitalizing on the surprising success of the Deadpool and Batman crossovers that have proven audiences love seeing heroes from rival publishers share pages. These inter-company team-ups represent a thrilling shift in how major publishers collaborate to create must-have moments.

    The market itself is showing remarkable health after a rough stretch. Graphic novel sales jumped 9.2 percent in 2025 to reach 25.9 million units sold, breaking a two-year decline and signaling renewed reader confidence in the medium. This resurgence suggests 2026 could be an exceptionally strong year for the industry.

    On the creator front, exciting projects are being announced regularly. Kevin Smith is penning Bizarro: Year None for DC Comics, while Gene Luen Yang will write X-Men's Jubilee for Marvel in April. These announcements demonstrate that major creative talent remains enthusiastic about pushing these characters forward with fresh storytelling perspectives.

    For those tracking upcoming releases, the schedule is packed with anticipated titles hitting shelves in coming weeks and months. The comic community continues to thrive with crowdfunding campaigns, fan engagement, and collector enthusiasm showing no signs of slowing down as we move deeper into 2026.

  • Comic Book Fans Buzzing with Major Crossover Announcements

    Comic Book Fans Buzzing with Major Crossover Announcements
    Jan 17 2026
    Comic Book World Buzzes With Major Announcements and Crossover Excitement

    The comic book industry is firing on all cylinders this week, with major publishers announcing ambitious projects that have fans and retailers equally excited about what's coming down the pipeline.

    Marvel and DC are doubling down on their successful crossover strategy that kicked off last year. After the massive success of Deadpool and Batman team-ups in 2025, the two publishers are teaming up again to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the first-ever Marvel-DC crossover from 1976. This time, Spider-Man and Superman take center stage in a historic pairing. DC will launch Superman and Spider-Man number one on March 25th, with Marvel following up in April with their version. Writer Brad Meltzer has been quoted as saying he's been waiting 50 years to write this book, and retailers are being urged not to treat this release casually given the proven performance of last year's crossovers and the star power involved.

    On the Marvel side, the publisher is rolling out an impressive slate of new titles and events. The X-Men are getting a major relaunch in 2026 under the banner Shadows of Tomorrow, which kicks off in January with new volumes of X-Men and Wolverine. One particularly exciting announcement involves X-23, Wolverine's clone, stepping out of the shadows. The character is getting her own series called Generation X-23, written by Jody Houser, arriving in February. In the series, Laura and her sister Gabby uncover a deadly plot involving the next generation of X-subjects while battling both anti-mutant bigots and killer robots.

    Marvel is also teasing Armageddon, a sweeping company-wide event crafted by writer Chip Zdarsky that's slated for June and promises to shake the entire Marvel Universe. Additionally, the Ultimate Universe continues to make waves with Ultimate Endgame, a five-issue event launching this month that reunites beloved Ultimate characters as they face the return of a major threat.

    Over at DC, the publisher announced Bizarro Year None, a four-issue limited series from writers Kevin Smith and Eric Carrasco with artist Nick Pitarra. The series explores the origin story of Bizarro, Superman's legendary backwards doppelgänger, launching April first and running monthly through July. The debut issue comes in at 32 pages for 4.99 dollars with variant covers by major artists like Frank Quitely and Fernando Pasarin.

    Meanwhile, Hank McCoy's redemption arc continues to dominate headlines among comic fans. The Beast's story has become one of the most-read comic book stories on major industry news sites, with discussions about his character evolution sparking debate among long-time readers and creators alike.

    Looking ahead, retailers are bracing for what could be one of the biggest single-issue events of the year with the Spider-Man and Superman crossover. The combination of historic significance, star power, and proven fan appetite for these crossovers is positioning 2026 as a landmark year for both publishers.
