Fanboy Comics Newsletter for Tuesday September 2nd, 2026
I’ve been watching you… you’re very good. But you can’t stop me. This is my world… the Fanboy Comics Weekly Newsletter… Green Arrow The Longbow Hunters #1, 1987
Welcome back to UNCW and Cape Fear students! Glad to see so many new and returning faces over the last few days! Don't forget that Fanboy Comics offers a subscription service so you don't have to worry about missing books and with a discount that saves you a little money. And there are never any fees other than buying your comics! We also do weekly specials every day with new specials on Tuesdays. Now open 7 days a week too!
WEEKLY SPECIALS
*Comic Sets Buy One, Get One 50% off
*Huge Media Sale on Labor Day!
All specials exclude new release items and all other discounts. Some restrictions may apply. New Specials Every Tuesday! Check our page for more deals throughout the week.
RECENTLY ACQUIRED/MUSIC MONDAY
Open on Monday for Music Monday! Almost every Monday we will be putting out Recently Acquired Comics, Vinyl 12 inch records as well as 7 inch records! CDs, Books on Music and film, movies, and much more. You never know what treasures from the vault might show up as we clean out our storage room!
We just put out a ton of new comic sets, back issues, and reduced graphic novels. Lots of classic Marvel GI Joe issues and Dark Hour Star Wars, Spawn titles like the main series, Gunslinger, and Scorched, as well as a huge run of the Wells Amazing Spider-man run from a few years ago. New dollar box comics too!
MARVEL MIDNIGHT PRE-ORDERS
Fanboy Comics here with a very exciting announcement. Marvel is cooking up some of the best books they have done in years, so take the time to come in and subscribe to them so you don’t miss an issue. We have some preview comics of them to give away while supplies last!
Midnight Spider-man #1, Midnight Fantastic Four #1, and Midnight X-men #1 all come out October 7th so there is still plenty of time. After reading the first issues of all of these, I am confident in saying this is one you won’t want to miss if you are a horror fan, a Spider-man/X-men/FF fan, or even just a person who wants to read an interesting comic book. Some of the best people in the industry like Jonathan Hickman, Phillip Kennedy Johnson, and Ben Percy have written something special that just oozes with potential.
If you regret not starting the Absolute universe at the ground floor, don’t make the same mistake twice!
LABOR DAY SALE
This Labor Day, Monday September 7th, we will be open from 11 AM to 6 PM and having a huge sale on our Music and other media stock!

BATMAN DAY 2026
Saturday September 19th is Batman Day 2026 at Fanboy Comics! And this year it will also be the release of a new issue with both main universe Batman and Absolute Batman!
Batman of Two Worlds #1 features an all-new Batman story by writer Matt Fraction and artist Javi Fernández, with colors by Tomeu Morey and letters by Clayton Cowles, alongside an all-new Absolute Batman story by writer Scott Snyder and artist Nick Derington, with colors by Frank Martin and letters by Tom Napolitano.

THIS WEEKS HOT NEW RELEASES
A great week for new DC titles, and alongside the new releases DC has also reprinted every single issue of Absolute Batman! If you are missing any issues or just want to collect it in the original format now is the perfect opportunity. The Legion of Superheroes is back with a new series and new direction, and now with great art from Hayden Sherman of Absolute Wonder Woman fame. And great writing from Joshua Williamson! The book I am most excited about this week is Teen Titans #1. A team of new characters lead by Red Hood is not a direction I expected but it is the breath of fresh air the books needs!
