Upcoming Comics: October 11, 2022

Welcome back to Upcoming Comics!

New York Comic Con is wrapping up, and I’m a little too exhausted to say anything beyond that. No thoughts this week – at least not until I get my head a little straighter. Will have a full article on the experience shortly, hope everyone else who went had a blast!

Now, here’s what we have for this week:
