Krakoa's Serving Looks, Gotham's Serving Angst - September 02 '26 FOC - Walt's Comic Shop

Hey, you’re kinda cute. Now here are the books you need to order this week.

The first week of September is definitely stacked with awesome books. It’s tough to pick just a handful that should be on your shelf. But in order to keep us all sane and to keep our wallets ready for the hits that will be happening throughout this period, here’s my pick of the best ones.

Witch Hat Atelier: Grimoire Edition 3

I wasn’t really a manga guy until Daniel made us do those articles for the Fanzine. This volume is like a tea-spilling sesh with your besties: we learn dark, hidden secrets about Coco’s beloved mentor, Qifrey, and all the lies that are being tossed around. All these mysteries are connected to Coco’s mother’s curse and will shake up our protag. The book is massive and GORGEOUS, with color pages and bonus content too. How can you not get it?

X-Men: Age Of Krakoa - Reign Of X Omnibus Vol. 2

After we pre-gamed on our kiki, we are about to hit the red carpet: the inaugural Hellfire Gala, baby! This book has it all: soul-searching Nightcrawler, nasty Mutant groupies, corporate shenanigans, a lot of Marvel Voices, and literal terraforming of Mars. The art is stunning across the board, with works by Pepe Larraz, Valerio Schiti, Phil Noto, and many more. It’s ambitious, it’s huge, and it will round out your Hickman Krakoa oversized collection (4 omnis and 3 hardcovers, including Inferno).

DC Finest: Batman: The Curse Of Crime Alley

What more do you need than two of the finest comic writers of the 70s: Dennis "Denny" O’Neil and Len Wein? O’Neil brings literature, philosophy, and real-world politics into Batman, and Wein completes it with atmosphere and character creation. In this book, you will find grounded crime-noir and gothic horror stories (so, literally, the best Batman). The artists included are just as iconic: names like Don Newton and Irv Novick were the heavy hitters of the era. This is a defining time for the Dark Knight, and it should be on everyone’s shelf.

Absolute Batman The Black Mirror

Are you one of the girlies who says Batman has never been as good as when Scott Snyder was writing it? Well, this spectacular volume collects Snyder’s first outing into the world of Gotham, as well as the last Post-Crisis Batman story before New 52. Dick Grayson is in the cowl, facing a series of macabre crimes in this psychological thriller. Jock and Francesco Francavilla both murder at the art, so having this in Absolute will be a treat!
