As new comic day quickly approaches it can be sometimes difficult to decide which of the new comics hitting the shelves at your local comic shop to grab. Do not worry, we are here to help. This week we preview four titles that standout from the crowd including Satanic Panic #1, I Saw Santa Vol. 1 TP, and more!
While we are not the official voice of your decision, we want to help guide you in the right direction for comics releasing October 28, 2026.
Satanic Panic #1
Writer: Matt Miner
Artist: Clayton McCormack
Publisher: Mad Cave Studios
A sleepy 1980s town is stalked by a masked slasher at the height of the Satanic Panic, where every heavy metal record, Dungeons & Dragons campaign and teenage outsider is treated as evidence of devil worship. As fear spreads and bodies pile up, three local misfits become the prime suspects in a series of gruesome murders. Join D&D geeks and Ozzy enthusiasts Naz, Sal, and Terry as they race to clear their names, survive an increasingly blood-soaked town and unmask the real killer before paranoia claims more innocent lives. But in a community eager to blame the weird kids, proving their innocence may be deadlier than facing the murderer.
From Ringo Award and GLAAD Media Award-winning writer Matt Miner (Poser, Young Men in Love, Critical Role: Vox Machina Origins) and artist Clayton McCormack (Batman: White Knight Presents – Generation Joker) comes a brutal new horror series that blends slasher terror and the paranoia of the Satanic Panic into one unforgettable nightmare.
Satanic Panic kicks things off with a debut issue that mixes everyday small town horrors with the terror of a slasher and maybe something more. Writer Matt Miner and artist Clayton McCormack craft a meaningful, yet terrifying comic that will frighten you on many levels. There is definitely something here with this first issue. – CLICK HERE to read the entire review

I Saw Santa: A Spawn Universe Christmas Story TP
Writer: Chris Killian, Andrew Sanders

In a world where SANTA rewards well-behaved children with gifts and punishes the naughty with a stocking full of coal, one troubled child takes a dark turn.

White Sky Vol. 1 TP
Writer: William Harms
Artist: J.P. Mavinga
Publisher: Image Comics
After the world is shattered, a teen girl must journey through a haunted wasteland, hunted by monsters and scavengers alike, to save her father.
Five years ago, the sky turned white, and the world was destroyed.
Forced out of hiding, teenager Violet and her father, David, flee toward the ruins of San Francisco, where they believe they’ll be safe. But after catastrophe strikes, the two of them are separated, and Violet has no choice but to face the horrors of the world, and the ghosts that rule it, on her own.
Joined by a psychic-medium and pursued by bloodthirsty scavengers and ravenous horrors from beyond the grave, Violet fights to find and rescue her father.
White Sky is a suspenseful, tension-filled, emotional, and horrifying post-apocalyptic ghost story that hits hard. What William Harris and Jean Paul Mavinga accomplish with this first issue puts this story towards the top of great post-apocalyptic tales in comics. White Sky is the most impactful comic of 2026, so far, and likely to end up on a lot best of lists when the year comes to close. – CLICK HERE to read the enter review of the first issue
