This week is absolutely massive. Between epic crossovers, gritty new indie heroes, and the return of mutant mayhem, November 19th might just be the most collectible week this Autumn.


We’ve got Batman teaming up with Deadpool, a new indie brawler dropping blood-splattered heat, Spider-Man Noir swinging into his next chapter, and Apocalypse kicking off a full-blown war.


Throw in a remastered gem and a sharp-eyed variant on Witchblade you might have missed, and you’ve got a checklist that you should not ignore.


So grab your short boxes and fire up those pull lists, here we go.



FINAL BOSS #1  (Image Comics)


From the mind of Tyler Kirkham, the artist behind hits like Amazing Spider-Man and Green Lantern, comes Final Boss, a new creator-owned action series.


Centered on Tommy Brazen, a bruiser with mysterious new powers and a violent past he’s only beginning to understand, this debut issue leans hard into action, wild fight scenes, and power-up drama.


Whether he's taking on jobs as a mercenary or slamming down in street brawls, Tommy’s story is laced with hints of something darker beneath the surface. It’s part John Wick, part Spawn.


With a new Character, this has the promise of a collector gem, but who knows.

SPIDER-MAN NOIR #1 (Simone Di Meo Variant) (Marvel Comics)


This series always has a massive following. So, get ready to swing back into the smoky shadows. Spider-Man Noir is back, and he’s slicker than ever. In this 2nd printing of an epic cover, in case you missed the first.


This relaunch drops Peter Parker as a trenchcoat-wearing private eye by day, and a hard-hitting masked vigilante by night.

DC / MARVEL: BATMAN / DEADPOOL #1 (DC/Marvel Comics)


Yes, it’s finally happening: Batman and Deadpool together in one mind-warping, reality-breaking, fan-pleasing crossover event. EPIC!!!!!


DC/Marvel: Batman/Deadpool #1 is a dream team-up and a full-blown multiverse celebration of comic book madness, written and drawn by some of the biggest names in the industry. Leading the charge?


Nothing more needs saying, let's just Order and Read!!!!

X-Men of Apocalypse #1 (Fanyang Cover)


The Age of Apocalypse isn’t just back. In this explosive new launch, the world-shaking X-Men of Apocalypse set up a major collision course with the current Uncanny X-Men.


This isn’t a one-off alt-universe tale; it’s an event that redefines the mutant status quo, and Marvel is already teasing major consequences for beloved characters. Bring it on, what is happening this week with all these awesome releases!!!

Witchblade: 2025 #16


Celebrating the Witchblade franchise, this issue finds Sara Pezzini’s world teetering on the edge: police corruption, supernatural forces, and urban chaos.


But let's be honest, the standout here is the 1:25 virgin ratio variant cover by Sozomaika, a sleek, collectible‑first edition designed for speculators and fans alike. A definite Slab Candidate if it slipped past your collector's eye.

Final Word


This week is all about clashing worlds and new beginnings, from indie bloodbaths to Marvel and DC shaking hands.


Keep an eye on any first appearances, low-ratio variants, and especially books that tie into long-term continuity shifts (X-Men of Apocalypse is a big one). Also, don't sleep on indie picks like Final Boss and Capes; these creator-owned drops can turn into sleeper keys fast.


If you’re a collector, this is the kind of week where grabbing just one or two extra copies could pay off big down the road. Bag 'em, board 'em, and we’ll see you next week for another dive into the collector’s edge.
