New Comics This Wednesday: September 9, 2026
Wednesday, September 9 brings an unusually deep stack: horror with teeth, strange new worlds, a fresh Riverdale, Gotham cops stretched thin, and one spectacularly bad beach vacation.
We checked the completed weekly invoice batch against the live Planet Comics catalog, then picked ten books with a concrete reason to care. Inventory changes as orders come in, so each title below links to its current product page.
Browse every comic arriving September 9
Hellraiser: Resurrections — The Onanistic Ritual #1
If you want horror with teeth, start here. The Chatterer gets a new mission—and an image-obsessed young man makes the disastrous mistake of trying to summon him as an avenging demon. Zac Thompson and Gavin Mitchell open a five-one-shot runway toward a new Hellraiser ongoing series.
Try it if: For readers who like body horror, bad bargains, and supernatural stories that do not blink.
Spawn 77 #1
Todd McFarlane goes back to the character ideas he first sketched in 1977, then rebuilds them with artist Mark Spears. The result is a three-issue alternate take on Spawn with a deliberately different look and energy.
Try it if: A clean entry point for curious readers, and a fascinating what-if for longtime Spawn fans.
ThunderCats: Cheetara #1
Cheetara hears voices that contradict the Book of Omens and praise the Mu'Tants—which is exactly the kind of problem speed cannot solve. Saladin Ahmed and Andrea Arcari send her into a new corner of the Thunderverse built around unsettling visions and divided loyalties.
Try it if: For ThunderCats readers who want character-first fantasy instead of a simple rematch.
Archie #1
Riverdale gets a fresh ongoing series from Ben H. Winters and Fábio Moon. A local film festival kicks off a story moving through the town's past, present, and future, with Jughead chasing the paradox at its center.
Try it if: Start here if you want classic Archie warmth with a playful time-bending mystery underneath it.
Fixation #1
A vampire-movie superfan wins a stay at the franchise's famous filming location just as a real death turns the anniversary celebration into a murder investigation. The fandom wants the party to continue; the killer has other plans.
Try it if: For readers who like true-crime tension, obsessive fandom, and mysteries where everyone looks suspicious.
Batman: Bad Seeds — Gotham Central #1
Gotham's super-crises have swallowed the police department's attention, leaving officers Gordon and Espinoza to handle a killer, a stalking case, subway chaos, and Anarky's latest heist. Somebody still has to do the police work.
Try it if: The pick for Gotham Central fans who prefer street-level pressure and procedural grit.
The Folk of Dooney Hollow #1
A graduate student's search for Ozark folklore leads her to a village hidden from modern society—and to the ceremonial grounds of the monster keeping it afraid. Jeremy Haun, Alex Lins, and Trish Mulvihill make the woods feel like a very bad place to get curious.
Try it if: For folk-horror readers who enjoy isolated towns, local legends, and curiosity punished immediately.
The Karman Blade #1
On a dying world, a star-forged blade chooses a young man to kill the god hoarding its water. That is a huge quest—but first he has to survive the demons much closer to home.
Try it if: For dark-fantasy readers who want mythic stakes, strange worlds, and a four-issue story with a defined shape.
Star Trek: 60th Anniversary Special
Seven new stories cross The Original Series, Lower Decks, The Animated Series, Picard, and Starfleet Academy, with creators including Brian Michael Bendis, Christopher Cantwell, David Walker, Ryan North, Mike McMahan, Derek Charm, and Michael and Laura Allred.
Try it if: A celebratory sampler for Trek fans who enjoy seeing different eras and tones share one book.
Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Coastal Chaos #1
The Turtles take a family trip to the Jersey Shore, where Mikey runs into something with teeth, a dorsal fin, and arms. It is beach-vacation chaos with exactly the right amount of mutant nonsense.
Try it if: For TMNT readers in the mood for a breezy monster adventure and a bigger-shell joke.
