The Comic Report 2/8/2026
Happy Sunday and Welcome back to the The Comic Report! Each week, I scour the comic universe to bring you the stories, announcements, and updates that matter most. This week delivers a particularly stacked lineup—from major announcements to creative team reveals that are bringing our favorite characters to life in fresh ways.
Grab your coffee, settle in, and let's break down everything happening in the world of comics!
DSTLRY News
2025 was a tough year for DSTRLY, with significant delays in comic releases. This was mostly due to Diamond Publishing going out of business, which had a large effect on the industry. This week, DSTRLY has confirmed that a significant amount of unreleased books have been indefinitely delayed (Guaranteed not to be cancelled). While very unfortunate, as there were some titles I was very much looking forward to, I hope we get some positive news from DSTRLY later in the year.
Titles affected
- City Beneath Her Feet #3
- Endeavour #3
- Galactic #2
- Mischief of Magpies #1
- White Boat #3
Alex Ross Artbook!
Alex Ross has an exciting new project releasing this year with Marvel Dimensions! Written and drawn by Ross, Marvel Dimensions will give a tour of the Marvel universe. Labeled as experimental, it will introduce nearly 200 new characters and variants. Not much else has been announced, but certainly something to keep your eye on!

DoomQuest
Ryan North is taking on Doctor Doom again, this time with Doomquest! A new ten-issue maxi-series with Francesco Mobili taking care of the art. Described as a standalone series, Doomquest will allow new and old readers explore Doctor Doom as he travels "through time to achieve glory for Latveria"
You can get a sneak peek of the series with the ARMAGEDDON/X-MEN #1 CGD 2026, releasing for Comics Giveaway Day on May 2nd!

My Pick of the Week
DC Knightfight #4 was an awesome read. Usually, event tie-ins are solid, but don't have a ton of impact. This one was different! It ties in excellently with DC K.O., but I can also see how they can further develop the concepts and ideas of this story. Awesome read, definitely check out the collected edition!
