Comic Source Weekly September 16, 2026 — Popverse Closing? Spider-Man #1000 & Wonder Woman Ends

Comic book media may be shrinking again as ReedPop is reportedly preparing to close Popverse before New York Comic Con. Jace looks at what the reported closure could mean for comics journalism and why dedicated comic book news outlets continue to disappear. Plus, Marvel reveals the massive creative lineup for Amazing Spider-Man #1000, David Colton completes his transformation into Miracleman in Avengers: Armageddon #4, Sam Alexander returns in Nova: Return of the Rings, and Marvel Masterworks continues through Clover Press. On the DC side, Wonder Woman #40 will conclude Tom King and Daniel Sampere's run, three Next Level launches are already headed back to print, and DC lays out its plans for New York Comic Con. Also covered: The Princess Murders from Tony Fleecs and Tim Seeley, The Last Driver #1 reaching a third printing, Arthur Adams returning to interiors on Terminal #6, the next Transformers arc, Benedict Arnold becoming Redcoat's arch-nemesis, Six of Us, Kill All Immortals, Year Zero: The Zomnibus, Warbird #2, Danny Trejo's Year of the Devil, and the rumor that Joanne Starer may be taking over Harley Quinn. Then Jace makes his What Hit predictions for the September 16 releases, checks those predictions against the latest Prana Top 10 Bestseller list, and finishes with 18 books worth watching before Final Order Cutoff.
