Venom War Deadpool #2, Just when you think things can’t get any more bizarre, Deadpool finds himself neck-deep in a city overrun by symbiote-infected zombies. That’s right, a double dose of symbiotes and zombies. But fear not, because old friends are here to help. And when we say “friends,” we mean Frankenstein’s Monster and Man-Thing, because why wouldn’t they be around in a Venom-Deadpool team-up? Silence, Princess, and a surprise guest star (no spoilers here, but it’s worth the price of admission) also make their grand entrances. For collectors, this issue has all the makings of a future favorite—so grab it before Deadpool gets his hands all over it. Batman #154, Murder in Gotham? Shocking. What’s even more shocking is how Commander Star is shaping up to be Gotham’s newest wildcard. Making his second appearance, this mysterious hero is already raising eyebrows. The Riddler supposedly going legit? We’ll believe that when we see it. And of course, it wouldn’t be Gotham without the ever-watchful Court of Owls looming in the shadows. While Batman and Jim Gordon piece together clues, Wayne Enterprises comes under public scrutiny, making this issue a key part of ongoing Gotham politics. For those into speculation, Commander Star’s second appearance makes this issue a must-watch. Nightwing #119, Welcome to a brand-new arc that throws Nightwing right back into the chaos of Bludhaven. Rival gangs are battling it out to fill the power vacuum left behind by Nightwing’s city-wide cleanup, but something darker seems to be pulling the strings. With a new creative team in charge, this issue is a relaunch in all the right ways. If you’re looking for a fresh start with Nightwing, this is it. The action kicks off in what promises to be a redefining arc for the character—and speculators should keep an eye on this one, with potential new key players lurking around the corner. Mystique #1, She’s back, and she’s still making the world hate and fear her. Mystique returns to her roots, playing everyone around her like pawns on a chessboard. This time, Nick Fury gets entangled in her web of lies and espionage, as he uncovers a plot that traces back to none other than Mystique herself. From the ashes of Krakoa, Mystique reminds everyone why she’s still one of Marvel’s most elusive and dangerous mutants. Declan Shalvey delivers a tale that will keep you guessing, making this issue ripe for both reading and collecting. Who knows where this new chapter for Mystique will lead? Moon Knight: Fist of Khonshu #1, Death? Been there, done that. Marc Spector—Moon Knight—has died and come back more times than he can count, but being Khonshu’s avatar isn’t all moonlit glory. This issue dives into the darker, grittier side of Moon Knight, showing us the cost of being death’s favorite plaything. The multitudes of personalities that live within Spector are starting to unravel, and if you’re a collector of first issues, this one has all the hallmarks of an iconic start. Dark, gritty, and with all the psychological tension Moon Knight fans crave. Vicarious #1, A new sci-fi thriller that feels just a little too real for comfort. Justin, a disillusioned 20-something, stumbles into the world of Proxies—ambitious individuals who rent out their emotions and experiences through technological implants to the highest bidder. It’s a premise that’s equal parts intriguing and unsettling. Writer Ryan Parrott (of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers fame) steps into original storytelling with this psychological mind-bender, and if you’re hunting for something a little different for your collection, this could be a sleeper hit. Crypt of Shadows #1, Marvel’s heroes just can’t catch a break, even on Halloween. This anthology-style book brings together a host of terrifying tales where your favorite heroes are forced to confront their worst nightmares. From creatures lurking in the deep to sorcery gone wrong, this issue promises to be a spine-tingling thrill ride. For collectors, any time Marvel leans into the horror genre, it’s worth keeping an eye on. Plus, with Halloween around the corner, it’s perfectly timed to give you the chills.

Spectacular Spider-Men #8, With a brand-new story arc kicking off, the two Spider-Men find themselves way out of their league as an old evil returns. And did we mention a new hero is rising? Keep your eye on this one—there’s bound to be something worth noting in the collector’s market with the introduction of a mysterious new character. Plus, you get two Spider-Men for the price of one. Not a bad deal. Batman and Robin Year One #1, Remember the early days when Bruce Wayne was adjusting to his new life as a father-figure to Dick Grayson? This issue revisits those formative years, but things aren’t as rosy as you’d think. A new crime boss called The General is making moves, and somehow Two-Face is mixed up in the mess. Mark Waid and Chris Samnee bring their A-game in what’s set to be a heartfelt yet action-packed throwback. Speculators, take note—this issue could introduce some pivotal moments in the Bat-family’s history. Liquid Kill #1, In a cyberpunk future that feels like a mash-up of Ghost in the Shell and John Wick, a group of vigilantes known as the Liquid Army are taking on pure evil. Their leader is captive, and it’s a blood-soaked battle to save him. Indie publisher Massive brings this gritty, violent world to life in a way that collectors of dark sci-fi stories should keep on their radar. There’s a lot to unpack here, and each issue promises layers of carnage and intrigue. Wolverine #2, The Canadian wilderness isn’t the quiet retreat Wolverine was hoping for. Something or someone is stalking him in the great white north, and it’s none other than the newly introduced Wendigo. But this isn’t just any Wendigo—there’s a secret buried within this beast that will reshape Wolverine’s mission. First appearances? Check. Brutal action? Double check. This issue is a must for Wolverine fans and collectors alike. House of Slaughter #26, The Butcher’s War may have ended, but the House of Slaughter is far from peaceful. A new monster is prowling the halls, searching for answers to an unthinkable mystery connected to the hunters’ totems. Power struggles, dark secrets, and new monsters? This issue checks all the boxes for something memorable in the horror genre. Gerde’s ambitions for power grow even more menacing, making this a key issue in the ongoing saga. Miles Morales: Spider-Man #25, Miles Morales and Deadpool. Do we really need to say more? This issue marks the first meeting between Miles and the Merc with a Mouth, which alone makes it worth picking up. Cody Ziglar teases what could be a full-blown war in Brooklyn between the two, but you can bet there will be laughs and action aplenty. For collectors, first-time team-ups like this are always hot items, so don’t miss it. Alien Romulus #1 Following the much-anticipated Alien: Romulus movie, this issue delves into the secrets of the Xenomorphs’ terrifying world. Scavenger crews, familiar faces, and deadly surprises await, as Zac Thompson and Daniel Picciotto collaborate directly with filmmakers to give fans the inside scoop. If you’re an Alien franchise collector, this issue could be one for the ages.
