New Comics This Wednesday: September 30, 2026
September 30 brings a gloriously odd shelf: X-Men versus Xenomorphs, Pinhead rebuilding himself, Finn and Jake trapped in monster bodies, and two very different trips through Hell.
We checked the completed Friday invoice batch against the live Planet Comics catalog, then narrowed the week to eight books with a concrete reason to care. Each title below is live and sellable now; Greenville and Anderson quantities were verified separately, but inventory can change as orders come in.

Alien vs. X-Men #1

Hellraiser: Resurrections — The Return of the Priest #1
