DC Comics October 2026 Solicitations Open the War on Darkseid and Double the Bad Seeds

DC’s October 2026 solicitations run on two clocks. The first counts down to sunrise in Gotham, where Poison Ivy‘s attack has one night left to be stopped before the city is lost for good. The second starts a much longer war. DC All In Saga: Darkseid vs. the World #1 arrives from Scott Snyder, Joshua Williamson, Sanford Greene, and Yasmine Putri. It tells the hidden past of Uxus and his descent into Darkseid. The King Omega battle is won, and in DC’s own words, “the war against Darkseid has only just begun.”

Around those two poles, the month covers a wide format range. The Next Level books all reach their second issues. The Teen Titans pick Red Hood as their mentor. The Doom Patrol digs through alien memories that reach into its own past, and the Legion chases RJ Brande’s murderer across the 31st century. The mature-readers corner stays crowded with 100 Bullets: The US of Anger, End of Life, Bleeding Hearts, and Black Tower: The Raven Conspiracy. Six facsimile editions stretch from Batman #227 back through Watchmen #2 and the original Swamp Thing #1.

The throughline is how deliberately the new material ships beside its own archive. Legion of Super-Heroes #2 lands the same month as the Mark Waid and Barry Kitson Legion omnibus. Harley Quinn #67 shares October with a facsimile of the first-ever issue of her first ongoing series. Teen Titans #2 arrives beside Kami Garcia and Gabriel Picolo’s Teen Titans: Together connecting cover edition. Sean Murphy’s White Knight shows up twice, as a Beyond the White Knight deluxe hardcover and as a reprint of its first issue. October’s forward motion keeps checking the rearview mirror.

Gotham Goes to Seed

Bad Seeds began in August as a Batman story about Poison Ivy’s attack on Gotham. October is where it ends. Batman: Bad Seeds-Sunrise #1 is billed as the conclusion. The oversize special from Matt Fraction, G. Willow Wilson, Giuseppe Camuncoli, and Cliff Rathburn gives the city until first light before its prehistoric transformation becomes permanent.

The interesting part is the altitude range across the banner’s four books. Batman #14 keeps the Dark Knight hunting the one man capable of stopping Ivy while Verity Pennyworth defends the Manor. Gotham General #2 follows Greg Rucka and Rosa Ekedal’s hospital staff through the night of their lives as the city falls. Gotham Central #2 traps cops, Anarky, and Victor Zsasz together on the last operational subway out of the city. Streets of Gotham #1 hands Fraction and Mariko Tamaki six stories about everyday Gothamites who get no cape and no exit.

The event also reaches past its own logo. Poison Ivy #49 runs the penultimate chapter of the saga from the other side, with Ivy stripped of her power and hunted through the city she remade. Detective Comics #1114 sends Batman to Mr. Freeze for a last-resort alliance against the dawn. Harley Quinn #67 spends the month machete-first in the jungle, cutting a path toward Pam. One event, told from the emergency room to the subway tunnel.

October Belongs to the Occult

The rest of the line leans into the season. James Harren writes and draws The Demon #1. His Jason Blood, centuries old and split-souled, follows a lost wizard while Etrigan waits to rise. Michael Walsh takes the same double duty on Jonah Hex and the Shadow of Death #1. It sets the bounty hunter at the end of the Wild West, in a small town stalked by something older than the town itself.

They have company. W. Maxwell Prince and Martin Morazzo throw Boston Brand into “a soulless tomorrow” in The Deadman #5. Zatanna #7 has a ghostly vampire dragging the Prime Magus toward a fight where blood ties will be revealed. Dan Mora makes his writing debut with Justice League: Dark Realm Special #1, an origin for Cadejos, Justice League Unlimited’s fire-breathing wolf. Superman #43 fits the mood too. Clark Kent, back on the reporter beat after DC K.O., chases a Metropolis death cult alongside the returning Marilyn Moonlight.

The reprint program plays along. October’s facsimiles include Len Wein and Bernie Wrightson’s Swamp Thing #1 and Watchmen #2, the issue built around the Comedian’s funeral. DC vs. Vampires: World War V Vol. 2 collects the end of Matthew Rosenberg and Otto Schmidt’s vampire war. Darkseid turns out to be waiting there too, forcing humans and vampires into an uneasy alliance. The month’s big villain gets around.

It’s the dawn of a new age. Superheroes, like Superman in Metropolis and Gotham’s mysterious Batman, are new and frightening to the world at large. But when a series of strange attacks unleashes an otherworldly threat on Earth, these heroes will have to stand together…if they can stand each other!

Superman. Batman. Wonder Woman. Green Lantern. The Flash. Aquaman. Cyborg. Though young and inexperienced, brash and overconfident, each one alone is a powerful force in the battle of good against evil. Together, they may be the only thing on Earth that can stop the alien warlord Darkseid from claiming our planet as his own. Together…they will become the Justice League!

Justice League: Origin (collecting Justice League #1-6) unites superstar creators Geoff Johns (Green Lantern) and Jim Lee (Batman: Hush) to deliver the most talked-about comic book of the new millennium…and reimagine the DC Universe as never before!
