It’s one of the biggest news weeks of the year as ComicsPRO explodes with announcements, reveals, and long-term publishing plans from every major publisher in the industry. We’re breaking it all down in a super-sized news segment that covers the headlines shaping 2026 and beyond.
Marvel dropped its May 2026 solicitations, teased the beginning of the end in Avengers: Armageddon, confirmed Hulk War for 2027, revealed Infernal Hulk vs. the X-Men, and somehow still found time for Knull vs. Hela, a Spider-Man and Iron Man team-up, and Doctor Doom taking over OREO. Yes, really.
Over at DC, May solicitations are here too, along with massive ComicsPRO reveals including Vertigo’s return, new Absolute titles, a yearlong celebration of The Dark Knight Returns, and even a DC/Sonic reunion. Meanwhile, IDW is going hard with Godzilla 1954 and a bold new era of Star Trek, TMNT #300 resets the board, and Image, Dark Horse, Skybound, Oni, and more stacked the deck with new sci-fi epics, horror sagas, and crossover events.
