Comics for Oct. 15, 2025

Captain's Log: I'm rethinking this weekly post, since there's an actual need for listing small publishers. I haven't been doing that since Diamond's Previews list folded, but now I guess I ought to. I thought about it too long this week, and don't have time to comment. So the following is what the publishers have to say, and (sob) you'll be without my wisdom. And everything is listed, so it's pretty long.

NO. 1: MARVEL COMICS

AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #14, $4.99. Written by JOE KELLY/ Art by ED MCGUINNESS

FANTASTIC FOUR/GARGOYLES #1, $5.99. Written by GREG WEISMAN/Art by ENID BALÁM

13717547096?profile=RESIZE_400xNew York, NY— July 16, 2025 — Marvel Comics and the beloved ‘90s Disney cartoon Gargoyles will crossover for the first time this October in FANTASTIC FOUR/GARGOYLES #1, an all-new one-shot by Gargoyles creator Greg Weisman and artist Enid Balám!

Critically acclaimed for its rich mythology and complex characters, the beloved television series followed a group of ancient Gargoyles who reawakened in modern New York City and became defenders of the night! The character’s adventures continue today in new comic series published by Dynamite Entertainment. Dynamite Entertainment will produce their own Gargoyles/Fantastic Four one-shot, also on sale in October and set in the same continuity as Marvel’s upcoming one-shot. Across both sagas, fans will see Marvel’s legendary super hero family team up with Goliath, Elisa Maza, Brooklyn, and the whole gang against villains from both team’s respective universes.

MARVEL’S FIRST FAMILY UNITES WITH THE MANHATTAN CLAN!

Danger strikes when the super villain Diablo learns stone gargoyles may hold the secret to eternal life…but the Gargoyles aren’t about to let him leech the blood of his own! Fortunately, they’ve got the help of expert Diablo-bashers – the Fantastic Four! Plus: Tony Stark and David Xanatos compare facial hair, Marvel’s own Gargoyle, Isaac Christians, bonds with his new kin, and more! 

On bringing the Gargoyles to the Baxter Building, Weisman said, “It just feels perfect to have the First Family of the Marvel Universe interacting with the First Family of the Gargoyles Universe, i.e. the Manhattan Clan. These two sets of heroes, both operating out of Midtown Manhattan - one from the Baxter Building and one from the Eyrie Building - just have so much in common. And, let's face it, in ways big and small, Stan & Jack's Fantastic Four was a clear influence on the creation of Gargoyles back in the early ‘90s. Getting to work on this project really brought out the gleeful kid in me. SO MUCH FUN!”

HECTOR PLASM: THE HUNT FOR BIGFOOT #1 (of 3), $3.99

13740782058?profile=RESIZE_400x13740782078?profile=RESIZE_400xBestselling writer and original co-creator Benito Cereno (Blood & Thunder, Invincible Presents: Atom Eve & Rexsplode) will bring his beloved character Hector Plasm — co-created with artist Nate Bellegarde (Nowhere Men) — back to shelves with a brand new adventure in Hector Plasm: Hunt the Bigfoot. This three-issue miniseries will welcome new interior artist Derek Hunter (Pretty Violent, DuckTales, Adventure Time) to the crew and will launch in October from Image Comics.

Hector Plasm: Hunt the Bigfoot sees the return of the popular ghost-hunter — whose backup stories first appeared in early issues of Robert Kirkman and Cory Walker’s Invincible nearly 15 years ago — and gained a cult following with its spooky hijinks.

Hector Plasm has faced all sorts of unquiet spirits in his travels, but a series of murders in a Pacific Northwest town leads him to confront a creature more solid than usual: BIGFOOT! Can Hector track down a beast that doesn’t want to be found, clear his own name, AND save a struggling local business at the same time?

"Of all of my character co-creations, the one I've been aching to get back to for the longest time is Hector Plasm, whose stories are the outlet for my love of ghost stories, folklore, and weird fiction," said Cereno. "The Hector stories I created with Nate Bellegarde are some of the best-loved things I've ever done, so I'm incredibly excited to be able to team up with Derek and bring all new Hector adventures into the world."

 Eisner Award-winning Skottie Young will bring Popeye the Sailor Man aboard the upcoming I Hate Fairyland #45. This spinach-fueled issue will feature guest cartoonist Jay Fosgitt (Marvel Fairy Tales, Bodie Troll) and will weigh anchor in October from Image Comics.

"Jay [Fosgitt] is a great cartoonist and we’re lucky to have him on board with us. I know one of Jay’s favorite characters is Popeye and he can draw the heck out of him! And it just so happens that Popeye entered the Public Domain recently so it seemed fitting," said Young. "I Hate Fairyland it the perfect book to be able to grab onto things like that run with it because anything can happen in my book!"

I Hate Fairyland #45’s inclusion of Popeye is just the latest in a series of cameo appearances made by some of the most beloved, iconic characters of all time. Young has also featured Dorothy and Toto from The Wizard of Oz, Pinocchio, Peter Pan, "Steamboat Willie’s" Mickey Mouse, and more.

In I Hate Fairyland #45, Gert and Larry sail the oceans blue in search of a dastardly sea beast that may hold the key to Gert returning home, but they find themselves outmatched and in need of help... from none other than Popeye the Sailor Man.

13740788281?profile=RESIZE_400x13740788853?profile=RESIZE_400xDungeons & Dragons’ newest adventuring party makes their comics debut in Dungeons & Dragons: The Fallbacks, an all-new adventure from Dark Horse Comics and Hasbro’s Wizards of the Coast division! Written by Greg Pak (Stranger Things, Lawful), penciled by Wilton Santos (Break Out, Star Wars: Doctor Aphra), inked by Edvan Alves, colored by Raul Angulo (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers), and lettered by Nate Piekos (Stranger Things and Dungeons & Dragons: The Rise of Hellfire, Minor Threats), this four-issue miniseries is perfect for fans of the Fallbacks and newcomers alike. Issue #1 arrives in October 2025 and will feature covers by Marguerite Sauvage, Uzuri, Stephen Segovia, and Dan Panosian. All four issues will also include back cover art by Julie Dillon which, when collected, connect in an homage to J.C. Leyendecker. 

About Dungeons & Dragons: The Fallbacks Series 1:

In a time of fickle gods and feckless governors, the world yearns for heroes! What it gets are the Fallbacks—a party of daring, dubious, and dysfunctional adventurers who arrive in the city of Loudwater in search of gold and glory. But an encounter with kobold thieves puts the Fallbacks in the crosshairs of a rival team of deeply annoying local heroes. Will the Fallbacks pull off a heist for the ages? Or will they sacrifice it all to put these “heroes” in their place?

“Greg Pak brings the charm and chaos with his story, and the art team of Wilton Santos and Raul Angulo delivers vibrant, eye-popping art visuals that leaps off the page,” said Paul Morrissey, D&D Publishing Lead at Wizards of the Coast. “The Fallbacks is a fast-paced, character-driven adventure full of heart, humor, and heroic mayhem—the kind of story that reminds you why you fell in love with DUNGEONS & DRAGONS in the first place."

Pak added, “When I read the Jaleigh Johnson prose novel where the Fallbacks first appeared, my primary takeaway, which is also my highest praise, was that it felt like an actual D&D campaign I might play with my funniest, most subversive, and biggest-hearted friends. We're bringing that vibe to full-color glory on the comics page with incredible interior art by Wilton Santos, Edvan Alves, and Raul Angulo, sharp letters by Nate Piekos, and glorious covers by a slew of artists including Marguerite Sauvage. Can't wait for y'all to join the campaign!”

YULETIDE #1 (of 3), $6.99

13740778685?profile=RESIZE_400xIn advance of Comic-Con International 2025 in San Diego, CA, groundbreaking comic book publisher Oni Press and award-winning production company Valhalla Entertainment today announced that Valhalla has preemptively acquired Oni's upcoming series YULETIDE – created by writer George Northy (EC's Shiver SuspenStories) and artist Rachele Aragno (Mike Mignola's Leonide the Vampire) – for development as a feature film in advance of the comic book series' debut in October 2025.

Northy – a writer/producer best known for his work on Charmed for The CW and his recent comics debut as part of Oni's best-selling EC Comics relaunch – will produce and script the adaptation. Gale Anne Hurd and Phillip Kobylanski will produce for Valhalla, alongside David Steward II, Hunter Gorinson, and Jeremy Colfer for Oni Press.

A fast-placed family adventure in the tradition of The Goonies, Goosebumps, and Hocus Pocus with a horrifying holiday twist, YULETIDE is the story of ancient creatures let loose upon an idyllic Northeastern town at the height of the gift-giving season – and the only three teenagers capable of holding them at bay with an ancient secret tied to the origins of the holiday itself:

Welcome to the small town of Christmas, Pennsylvania – the merriest place on Earth . . . or so they'd like everyone to think. When December rolls around, these folks pull out all the stops for America's biggest, brightest holiday display . . . but not everyone in Christmas, PA, is so enthusiastic. Teenagers Jake, Abe, and Wyn are more interested in the dark side of the holiday that their parents like to pretend doesn't exist . . . The ancient legends of mythic monsters and pagan pandemonium that are deeply tied to the festival's long-forgotten origins. So when their hobby leads them to an abandoned wing of the local Christmas museum to investigate, they'll discover an ancient relic that, when activated, will bring a furious procession of yuletide horrors long since banished from our plane – and with it, a darkness that has been waiting centuries for its chance to overtake the world.

“I’ve long been fascinated by the dark, strange, obscure Yuletide monsters from various cultures, from Germany to Iceland to Wales. The way these demons have been buried and forgotten felt like the perfect metaphor for how we often bury our own darkness and personal demons throughout the holidays,” said writer George Northy. “If Buffy taught us “High School can be Hell,” then Yuletide will show that the best way of dealing with our own holiday demons isn’t by pretending they aren’t there, it’s by facing them together.”

“There is so much fantastic lore of the midwinter that runs the risk of being forgotten to time,” said Gale Anne Hurd of Valhalla Entertainment. “With Yuletide, George and Rachele have given us the perfect opportunity to bring those larger-than-life characters back to life so they can continue to haunt us for generations to come.”

"Every once in a while, a team of creators emerges with a pitch so inspired, so compelling, and so dead-center on the bullseye that it immediately provokes one question: 'Why hasn't anyone thought of this before?' So it was with George and Rachele's vision for YULETIDE – a story that comes joyously filled with heart, humor, and adventure like so many gifts tightly packed into a Christmas stocking. This is a holiday story you'll know by heart in just a few years' time, and we couldn't ask for better partners in bringing to the page and screen," said Oni Press President & Publisher Hunter Gorinson.

With the first issue set to debut in comic shops in October, the YULETIDE comic series from Northy and Aragno will span three, extra-long, 40-page monthly chapters – counting down to an artfully timed finale on shelves just in time for the holidays in December.

YULETIDE joins a long list of high-profile film and television projects currently in development from Oni Press – the iconic indie comics imprint that has inspired many influential adaptations, including director Edgar Wright's Scott Pilgrim vs. The World (based on creator Bryan Lee O'Malley's Eisner Award-winning graphic novel series), director Sam Hargrave's Extraction franchise for Netflix, and director David Leitch's Atomic Blonde – that also includes Sam Hargrave's upcoming feature film Kill Them All (based on the graphic novel by cartoonist Kyle Starks) for Paramount Pictures.
