Absolute Batman 24 tops anticipated comics list: 50 must-see releases this Wednesday

This week’s pull rankings from League of Comic Book Geeks show an unmistakable DC dominance at the top, led by the oversized prestige release Absolute Batman #24. The list — compiled from users who add issues to their subscription pulls — highlights what retailers and collectors are watching for Wednesday, Sept. 9, 2026.

DC titles occupy the first seven places, a pattern some fans are calling “Absolute Week.” After that surge, Image’s Void Rivals and Marvel’s Wolverine round out the next slots, signalling strong cross-publisher interest heading into September.

Why this matters now: pull lists are an early gauge of collector and direct-market attention. For retailers they help plan inventory; for readers they signal which series are commanding fandom focus. But pulls are not the same as confirmed sales — they reflect intentions and active interest more than final transaction data.

How the ranking is generated and what to watch for

League of Comic Book Geeks (LOC G) aggregates user pull data from a subscriber base of roughly 100,000 and supports more than 100 comic shops that use the site to manage customer subscriptions. That makes the rankings a meaningful snapshot of the direct-market community, but with built-in caveats:

• “Pulls” indicate interest, not confirmed purchases — they can represent planned in-store buys, digital purchases, or simply items users marked and never removed.
• Each variant cover typically registers its own pull count, so variant-heavy releases can fragment interest across multiple listings.
• Long-running series often remain in many readers’ pull lists by default, biasing the chart toward ongoing titles.

Despite those limits, the list remains a practical indicator of current enthusiasm across publishers and genres.

The weekly ranking is part of League of Comic Book Geeks’ broader reporting tools and joins other weekly trackers such as bestseller and “hot” lists used by news sites and retailers. For collectors and shop owners, the pulls chart is a practical pulse check — it points to where attention is concentrated even if final sales numbers can differ.

Does your personal pull list line up with the crowd? If you follow specific series, keeping an eye on these charts can help predict demand and guide ordering decisions at your local shop.
