Almost a year to the day that DC announced their “All In” publishing plans and the birth of the Absolute Universe, the publisher has revealed what October has in store for our Absolute heroes (and villains).
October of last year brought the first Absolute titles, as Absolute Batman, Absolute Wonder Woman and Absolute Superman made their way to comic shops. Those first issues went on to achieve phenomenal sales and critical acclaim, and DC continues to issue reprints for those and subsequent issues.

Welcome to Can’t Wait for Wednesday, your guide to what comics are arriving in comic book stores, bookstores and on digital.

Sometimes you get work done, sometimes you spend your time stress-eating leftover Halloween candy while you read election news. In any event, this next part of the U.S. election cycle could be another marathon, not a sprint, but at least tomorrow you should have plenty of comics to distract you.
There’s lots of great stuff, too; I’m happy to report that the Captain Marvel team — the ones who redesigned and rebooted Carol Danvers — are in full force this week, as Kelly Sue DeConnick and David López re-team for a creator-owned title at Dark Horse, while Captain Marvel designer Jamie McKelvie has his own new series debuting from DSTLRY. There’s also the third Absolute title landing, the comic book debut of a Marvel Cinematic Universe character and … DuckTales! (I assume you know what to do when someone yells “DuckTales,” right?)
I’ve pulled out some of the other highlights for this week below, but for the complete list of everything you might find at your local comic shop and on digital this week, you’ll want to check out one or more of the following:
As a reminder, things can change and what you find on the above lists may differ from what’s actually arriving in your local shop. So always check with your comics retailer for the final word on availability.
