Welcome back, Wednesday Warriors! As the leaves fall and the air turns crisp, this week’s November 2024 comic book releases bring serious heat. With iconic reboots, anniversary specials, and bold new characters, your pull list is about to get a lot more exciting. Let’s dive into the top titles hitting shelves on November 6.
1. Absolute Superman #1
DC Comics
Writer: Jason Aaron
Artist: Rafa Sandoval
Jason Aaron and Rafa Sandoval team up to present a bold new vision of the Man of Steel. In Absolute Superman #1, Clark Kent stands truly alone—no family, no Fortress of Solitude, no familiar support system.
Aaron explores Superman’s identity through isolation, diving deep into what makes him tick when everything is stripped away. Meanwhile, Sandoval’s powerful art emphasizes both Superman’s might and vulnerability. This isn’t just a new story—it’s a new emotional core for the world’s most iconic hero.
2. Something is Killing the Children #0
BOOM! Studios
Writer: James Tynion IV
Artist: Werther Dell’Edera
Celebrating five years of success, Something is Killing the Children #0 reveals a crucial untold moment from Erica Slaughter’s early years. Tynion crafts a tense, emotional story that expands the mythology while standing firmly on its own.
Dell’Edera’s signature horror visuals elevate the suspense. As a result, fans gain a deeper understanding of Erica’s past and what shaped her into the monster hunter we know today.
3. JSA #1
DC Comics
Writer: Jeff Lemire
Artist: Diego Olortegui
The Justice Society of America returns in this exciting relaunch. Geoff Johns—no stranger to legacy storytelling—revives the legendary team while offering fresh conflicts and dynamics for a new era.
Mikel Janín’s crisp, cinematic art gives this return weight and energy. Whether you’re a long-time JSA fan or just discovering the team, this issue makes for a perfect entry point.
4. Kahhori: Reshaper of Worlds #1
Marvel Comics
Writer: Ryan Little
Artist: Arihhonni David
Marvel breaks new ground with Kahhori: Reshaper of Worlds #1. Written by Rebecca Roanhorse and drawn by Weshoyot Alvitre, the story introduces Kahhori, a young Indigenous woman with the power to reshape reality itself.
Rooted in cultural authenticity, Roanhorse’s writing adds depth and purpose. Alvitre’s lush illustrations bring Kahhori’s world to life. This issue is not only visually stunning—it’s also an important step toward more inclusive storytelling in mainstream comics.
Honorable Mention: FML #1
Dark Horse Comics
Writer: Kelly Sue DeConnick
Artist: David López
FML #1 offers a hilarious, weird, and heartfelt dive into teen chaos and supernatural horror. Riley, a high school student with big metal dreams, ends up awakening ancient forces in Portland’s Forest Park.
The result? A reality where witches, spirits, and riot grrrl energy collide. De Campi’s sharp writing, paired with Henderson’s playful-yet-emotive artwork, creates a unique comic that feels like Scott Pilgrim meets The Craft—in the best way possible.
