NYCC 2026: Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, and Firefly get an Early 2027 Launch

With New York Comic Con 2027 starting later this week, Dynamite has provided an update as to a few of their anticipated series that had previously been delayed. Due to multiple factors from the creative and publishing sides, Dynamite Entertainment announces that Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel are now planned to kick off this coming March. The first issue of Buffy the Vampire Slayer by Kelly Thompson and Stephen Byrne is set to release March 10, 2027. Angel series starring the dashing vampire detective drawn by Giulia Giacomino will follow within the same month. The twin titles are intertwined for their initial stretch, making each issue of both essential to follow Thompson’s ambitious epic. Additionally, fans will be blasting off on new adventures in the Serenity in Firefly by Mark Russell and Lorenzo Re starting in February.

Writer Kelly Thompson’s story for Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel has evolved and become more ambitious, so it was deemed best to take a step back and up the page count to meet the story and deliver the best possible product for fans. Buffy #1 and Angel #1 will have significant story page increases from average issues — at no additional cost to readers or retailers.

Buffy #1 features 35 story pages, followed by 32 story pages for Angel #1. Both books will be released as 48-page comics, still priced at Dynamite’s standard $4.99. Dynamite Entertainment has decided to resolicit these titles, with the support of the creative teams, to ensure that these expansive sagas get off to the best possible launches.

  • Comic book cover featuring a blonde female character dressed in a black jacket and red pants, holding a wooden stake, with a vibrant red background and action elements.
  • Comic book cover featuring a female character resembling a vampire slayer, dressed in a stylish blue outfit with athletic stripes and holding a bat with spikes, surrounded by blood splatters.
  • Cover art for 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' comic, featuring Buffy holding a weapon in a dynamic pose, with colorful graphic elements and faces of monsters in the background.
  • Comic book cover featuring a young woman with blonde hair and a serious expression, holding a wooden stake. The background shows shadowy figures and hints of an eerie atmosphere. The title reads 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer.'

  • Cover of 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' comic, featuring a blonde female character holding a stake, with vibrant pink background and text indicating it's a premium mystery variant blind bag.

Eagle-eyed fans will notice some censoring on the Angel #1 cover by Clayton Crain, which includes a massive first appearance for a new foe known as Leviathan! Fans will have to tune into the comic series in March to learn what he looks like and start to follow his story. An even bigger reveal is being held close to the vest too, that will shatter the Buffy fandom in shock when they get their hands on the first chapters…

  • Comic book cover featuring a man in a black coat with a serious expression, set against a fiery orange background with glowing eyes.
  • Cover of the comic book 'Angel' featuring a dark-haired male character wielding weapons, surrounded by skeletal figures and a dark, ominous background.

Additionally, with the resolicitation timing, editor Nate Cosby is assembling even more gorgeous variants for collectors to choose from, including fun options like connecting covers across both books. Even more exciting updates are around the corner for Buffy and Angel comics.

In addition to the move of Buffy and Angel, the hotly anticipated return of Firefly comics to readers’ pulls is now set for launch in April.

The X-Files Comics Launch This December!

The truth is out there! Dynamite Entertainment and Disney Publishing Worldwide have announced further details on the debut of new comic books from The X-Files, officially launching this December!

Veteran and fan-favorite franchise writer Joe Harris returns alongside artist R.D. Brown to the tales of Mulder and Scully with a new set of declassified cases from the vault. The new comic series picks up some time after the end of the episode “My Struggle IV,” the season and series finale of the eleventh season of the show. 

Agents Mulder and Scully return once more to the FBI’s X-Files division in the shadow of the loss of their child William, the presumed death of the Cigarette Smoking Man, and the cliffhanger ending of Scully being pregnant once more. The shadows soon touch our heroes again as the conspiracy of a secret alien presence in the world is tracked down by both the duo and a mysterious organization seeking to harness it for their own purposes.

To complement this mind-tingling tale from Harris and Brown, Dynamite announces the full range of enticing covers for the comic series. Artists Clayton Crain and Ivan Tao‘s styles complement the eerie energy of the franchise. In addition to Harris adding to his nearly 60 issues to date of The X-Files comics, another veteran is back with The Walking Dead superstar Charlie Adlard doing covers, following his breakout work with Sculder and Mully in the 1990s for comics originally published by Topps. A special icon cover presents a classic mixed media image by Miran Kim from that same beloved era. Collectors can also opt for the exciting blind bag, filled with rare variants including an exclusive piece by superstar Martin Morazzo.

The X-Files #1 is available starting December 9.

  • Cover of 'The X-Files' comic book featuring an X-ray image of an alien skull against a dark background.
  • Cover of The X-Files comic featuring two FBI agents, Mulder and Scully, holding flashlights, with dark and mysterious background elements including a figure in glasses and extraterrestrial themes.

Miracleman joins Earth’s Mightiest Heroes in Chip Zdarsky and Marco Checchetto’s Avengers #1

When a demonic invasion erupts on Earth, CAPTAIN MARVEL, SPIDER-MAN, DAREDEVIL, WOLVERINE, LUKE CAGE and MIRACLEMAN assemble to save a world that no longer trusts them.

DC announces Legion of Super-Heroes, Teen Titans, and The Doom Patrol, launching this September

DC has announced the next major expansion of its Next Level publishing initiative with three new ongoing comic book series launching on Wednesday, September 2, 2026: Legion of Super-Heroes, Teen Titans, and The Doom Patrol. These team books mark the latest evolution of DC’s Next Level line, following the success of recent launches including Batwoman, Lobo, Deathstroke: The Terminator, Firestorm, Zatanna, Barbara Gordon: Breakout, and The Deadman.

Together, as DC: All In continues its second act, these new series showcase the breadth, ambition, and creative energy driving DC’s 2026 publishing slate. DC’s Next Level titles stand alongside DC’s ongoing and limited series across both the main universe and Absolute universe, expanding the scope and future of DC’s storytelling.

Legion of Super-Heroes

A New Tomorrow Begins for the Legion of Super-Heroes

Joshua Williamson and Hayden Sherman reimagine the future of the DC Universe

One thousand years after the Last Son of Krypton’s rocket crashed on the Kent Farm comes a new future inspired by the Man of Tomorrow!

But this new future is in danger! Superheroes are outlawed! Deadly enforcers known as the Persuaders keep the populace of the United Planets in check! Worlds are at war! And this dark tomorrow’s last glimmer of hope, R.J. Brande, has been brutally murdered.

Can the mysterious Brainiac 1 of 5 solve Brande’s murder? To restore hope to the universe, he must assemble a legion of gifted young rebels from across the cosmos! But they are scattered across the universe!

Witness the dawn of a new future in DC Comics architect Joshua Williamson and Eisner-winning superstar artist Hayden Sherman’s Legion of Super-Heroes… you will never look at tomorrow the same way again!

Legion of Super‑Heroes #1, a 40‑page debut issue written by Eisner-nominated Joshua Williamson with art and cover by Hayden Sherman and featuring variant covers by Jim Lee (card stock and foil), Mark Spears, Yasmine Putri, Hayden Sherman, Dan Mora (Michael J. Fox cameo), and V Ken Marion (1:25), will publish on September 2. Legion of Super‑Heroes #1 will retail for $3.99 US for the main cover, $4.99 US for card stock variants, and $6.99 US for the foil variant.

TEEN TITANS

The Teen Titans Go Next Level in a Bold New Era

Kyle Higgins and Daniele Di Nicuolo launch a new generation of Teen Titans

When one of their own vanishes after attending a rally for Ascend—a fast-growing youth movement training kids to survive in a world shaped by superhuman conflict—Fairplay, Cheshire Cat, Proxy, and Wildcard will do whatever it takes to find their friend, including teaming up with Red Hood!

Jason thinks they’re soft and reckless. They don’t understand how he can still kill people. Now they have to work together—whether they like it or not!

Created by Kyle Higgins and Daniele Di Nicuolo, the acclaimed team behind Power Rangers: Shattered Grid and Image Comics’ Massive-Verse, this series channels the same mix of heart, scope, and style that has defined their work together—blending cinematic storytelling and Di Nicuolo’s dynamic, expressive art to bring the next generation of heroes to life.

Teen Titans #1, a 32‑page debut issue written by Kyle Higgins with art and cover by Daniele Di Nicuolo and featuring variant covers by Dan Mora (card stock and foil), Jim Cheung, Sanford Greene (1:25), and Hayden Sherman (Next Level), along with a card stock blank sketch cover, will publish on September 2. Teen Titans #1 will retail for $3.99 US for the main cover, $4.99 US for card stock variants, and $6.99 US for the foil variant.

The Doom Patrol

The World’s Strangest Heroes Enter a New Age

Darcy Van Poelgeest and Niko Henrichon take the Doom Patrol to the Next Level

The Doom Patrol is broke. Adopting a heroes-for-hire business model to stave off financial and emotional ruin, the team finds itself responding to what seems like a simple case—a missing cat. But when this case proves to be far from simple, the world’s strangest heroes find themselves pulled into a truly out-of-this-world situation! And elsewhere, beyond the view of Robotman, Elasti-Girl, and Negative Man—and perhaps even beyond the veil of our reality—a ghost of the team’s past is preparing to cross into their world.

The visionary team of Eisner Award-winning writer Darcy Van Poelgeest (Little Bird) and legendary artist Niko Henrichon (Spectators, Pride of Baghdad) ushers the Doom Patrol into a new age for DC Next Level.

The Doom Patrol #1, a 32‑page debut issue written by Darcy Van Poelgeest with art and cover by Niko Henrichon and featuring variant covers by Clayton Crain (card stock and foil), Ian Bertram, Ashley Wood (1:25), and Hayden Sherman (Next Level), will publish on September 2. The Doom Patrol #1 will retail for $3.99 US for the main cover, $4.99 US for card stock variants, and $6.99 US for the foil variant.

Angel by Kelly Thompson Joins the Buffyverse!

Following the epic announcement of the return of Buffy the Vampire Slayer comics with Kelly Thompson at the helm, Dynamite has announced the companion series that fans have been waiting for, as Angel kicks off this August by Thompson and artist Giulia Giacomino.

Once the terrifying vampire known as Angelus, the man fans now know as Angel was cursed for his crimes with the return of his soul. His newfound humanity led him to the seemingly idyllic small town of Sunnydale, and a star-crossed love affair with the Slayer — Buffy Summers. Once the tragedy had run its course, Angel set off for new adventures (and his own show) in Los Angeles as a detective specializing in supernatural cases and helping the helpless.

Things don’t always go according to plan however and sometimes you do have to go home again. But what if in trying to set something right, chaos follows? This is that story.

Best-selling and Eisner Award-winning writer Kelly Thompson helms both Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel titles — structured as a seamless event story that will redefine the Buffyverse.

She’s joined on Angel by rising star artist Giulia Giacomino, who made her breakout at Dynamite on Lilo & Stitch and comes from the lineage of Mirka Andolfo’s legendary Arancia Studio. Alongside Buffy‘s Stephen Byrne, Giacomino is tasked with capturing the magic of all these beloved characters for fans new and old. Colorist Lee Loughridge and letterer Jeff Eckleberry round out the cast.

This is a one-of-a-kind crossover event that Thompson has described as “setting the table” for a whole new status quo in the Buffyverse. Angel #1 picks up directly after the events of Buffy #1, and fans are encouraged to follow along with both in release order to get the full Buffyverse experience and enjoy the epic tale Thompson is crafting — including big surprises that will be revealed at release! The flexible nature of comics allows the creative team to tap into what fans love — to see the relationships and emotional ties between these iconic characters in visually stunning ways. That said, the two titles have their own identity with Angel narrating and guiding his own series, and Buffy doing the same in hers.

Complementing the all-star cast of artists assembled for Buffy covers, her bad boy fallen Angel beau isn’t lacking in that department either. Superstar David Nakayama contributes the lead cover, matching up with his Buffy piece. He’s joined by Clayton Crain, Meredith McClaren, and Meghan Hetrick who all fit the distinct tone of the series. A series of Icon covers starts with remastering gorgeous works by Jenny Frison.

Avid Angel collectors can also consider the mystery blind bag, featuring three premium variant covers for the book selected randomly from a range of logo-less editions, line art presentations of art, and wholly original artwork exclusive to this offering.
