X Facebook WhatsApp

Oni Press has released its full slate of October 2026 solicitations, lining up new series, final issues and several collected editions timed around the Halloween season. The list reshapes the publisher’s fall calendar—highlighting a high-profile Sabrina relaunch and a creator-driven anthology from Matt Kindt that could signal the next wave of flagship titles.

Big launches to watch

Leading the announcements is a fresh ongoing for Sabrina the Teenage Witch, arriving just before Halloween and positioned to reboot the character for Archie Comics’ current continuity. Writer Corinna Bechko pairs with artist Kano on the first issue, which includes multiple variant covers and an extra short by Nick Cagnetti. The new series promises to put Sabrina’s magical life and teenage pressures into direct conflict as the season approaches.

Also notable is Flux House Presents #1, a 64-page quarterly curated by Matt Kindt. That anthology collects new short pieces and teasers for forthcoming Flux House projects, with contributions from Ella Kindt, Brian Hurtt, David Lapham and others—an explicit attempt by Oni to use a single title as a launchpad for multiple creator-driven series.

Sabrina the Teenage Witch #1 — on sale October 7, 2026; $4.99, 32 pages (multiple variants).

Flux House Presents #1 — on sale October 7, 2026; $9.99, 64 pages (quarterly anthology).

Continuing series and mid-season turns

Several previously announced ongoing books get new installments in October. Ben H. Winters and Fábio Moon return with Archie #2, which stages a Riverdale High reunion and further explores the elders of the town. Matt Kindt and Brian Hurtt move their conspiracy-driven maxi-series forward with Fort Psycho #3, while Christian Ward and Sami Kivelä advance the post-apocalyptic drama in The Forever Home #2.

Meanwhile, the EC-inspired anthology Cruel Kingdom 2 continues its serialized horror offerings with issue #2, showcasing a rotating writer and artist lineup.

Series finales and single-issue endpoints

October also closes several runs. Short-form and family-friendly titles reach their endpoints, as do some darker, creator-owned projects.

Super Mondo Mega Mutts #4 — series finale, on sale October 28, 2026; $4.99, 40 pages.

Adventure Time: Quadruple Feature #4 — final issue, on sale October 14, 2026; $4.99, 32 pages.

Biker Mice From Mars: Scorch #3 — penultimate/late-series entry, on sale October 28, 2026; $4.99, 32 pages.

Faceless and the Family: Maze of the Mechanical Aliens #4 — final issue, on sale October 21, 2026; $4.99, 24 pages (B&W).

Why these endings matter

Series conclusions create immediate interest among collectors and give retailers headline moments for pull lists. Final issues often trigger reorders and can propel trade paperback sales, especially when paired with deluxe collections or hardcovers that follow.

Collected editions and original graphic novels

Oni’s solicitations include a slate of trades and hardcovers, from deluxe reprints to new English translations of European works. At the top of that list is a new deluxe hardcover collecting the full run of Afterlife with Archie, presented in an oversized format with extras—an important release for readers who missed back-issue runs or prefer single-volume editions.

Afterlife with Archie Deluxe Edition HC — collects #1–10; on sale October 28, 2026; $39.99, 296 pages.

Sabrina: New Riverdale Compact Edition SC — collects the 2019 Sabrina run; on sale October 14, 2026; $9.99.

Jughead: New Riverdale Compact Edition SC — collects Jughead (2015) #1–6; on sale October 28, 2026; $9.99.

What readers and retailers should note

Release timing matters here: the Sabrina relaunch is explicitly positioned for the Halloween market, which can amplify visibility for both the single issue and any tie-in collected editions. The Matt Kindt anthology serves a different purpose—it’s both a showcase and a discovery vehicle, designed to expose readers to multiple creators in one purchase.

For comic shops, the October calendar combines impulse-friendly one-shots and finales with trade-worthy hardcovers that tend to sell steadily into the holiday season. Collectors will likely chase variant covers on certain first issues, and trade schedules give bookstores an easy entry point for mainstream customers who prefer single-volume reads.

Key takeaways

Newness: Two major launches—Sabrina and the Kindt anthology—anchor Oni’s October push.

Seasonality: Halloween-adjacent timing increases relevance for horror and supernatural titles.

Backlist strategy: Multiple deluxe and compact editions broaden the publisher’s retail footprint beyond direct-market single issues.

Full on-sale dates and prices are set across the October schedule; readers wanting specific variants or retailer incentives should contact local stores ahead of shipment windows. Oni’s solicitations make clear this fall is meant to balance mainstream recognizability with creator-led projects—an approach that will determine which titles find long-term traction.
