Week of October 19–25, 2026. Welcome to the Nexus weekly release radar, our Monday look at notable new comics, manga, trading card products and PC games. This guide tracks announced release dates. It does not mean every item is already stocked at Nexus; publisher schedules and distributor availability can change.
New Comic Book Day: Wednesday, October 21
The October 21 comic release list includes some recognizable series and some interesting alternatives:
- Uncanny X-Men #37 and Avengers: Armageddon #5 from Marvel.
- Detective Comics #1114, Action Comics #1103, Absolute Green Arrow #6 and Absolute Flash #20 from DC.
- G.I. Joe #27 from Image Comics and Thundercats #1 from Dynamite Entertainment.
If you follow ongoing series, an organized pull list makes it easier to keep up than hunting individual issues after release day. Check our current comic inventory and comic subscriptions and pull lists. Specific covers, printings and arrival dates still require confirmation.
Manga: Tuesday, October 20
The Penguin Random House Comics manga catalog lists several October 20 releases, including Blue Lock 35, My Dress-Up Darling XOXO!, The Mandalorian: Season One (The Manga), Vol. 2, Dragon Quest: The Mark of Erdrick 05, Drifting Dragons 18 and Otherside Picnic 15.
The edition matters. If you're looking for a particular volume, paperback, special printing or ISBN, explore our manga shelf or submit a book special-order request. We can check supplier availability before you commit.
Pokémon TCG: Deck Crafter's Collection on Friday, October 23
According to Pokémon's official October release calendar, the Pokémon TCG: Deck Crafter's Collection arrives October 23. It is aimed at players improving their decks rather than simply opening packs. Pokémon describes a foil Meowth ex, 39 tournament-ready Trainer cards, a deck-building guide, labeled dividers and a booster pack.
Collectors should distinguish this week's product from the 30th Celebration Espeon ex and Umbreon ex Battle Decks, which Pokémon dates for October 30. We cover Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Magic: The Gathering and more, but won't invent dates or promise inventory to pad a weekly list. Browse our Magic: The Gathering singles for currently listed cards.
PC gaming releases: October 22–23
Thursday, October 22: Final Fantasy Resonance. Friday, October 23: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4. Both appear in current gaming release schedules; Xbox Wire confirms the week's launch lineup.
Modern Warfare 4 is particularly relevant for PC owners because Activision's official PC requirements call for 115 GB of SSD storage. Check available space, graphics drivers and your specific CPU and GPU before a large installation. Buying a random new component before checking requirements is rarely the best opening move.
Useful gear between releases
For gaming-table setups and collection display, see our 3D-printed accessories. Readers can also browse graphic novels and books. These are existing collections, not necessarily new releases this week.
Have a specific release in mind? Send us the issue, variant, volume or ISBN. We'll check whether we can get it, and we'll return next Monday with another release roundup.
