Comic book fans have plenty to talk about as the first week of November 2025 brings a cascade of fresh news and events featuring both classic and new characters. In one of the year’s most talked-about developments, Deadpool/Batman #1 has stormed the charts and, following its sold-out debut and reprint, will return for a third printing in December. This rare Marvel and DC crossover sees Wade Wilson hired for a job in Gotham City, creating a wild pairing between the Merc with a Mouth and the World’s Greatest Detective. It’s co-written by Zeb Wells, who also worked on the Deadpool & Wolverine movie, and illustrated by Batman veteran Greg Capullo. The new variant covers by Adam Kubert and other artists have collectors buzzing. Before this third printing lands, fans are also anticipating the Batman/Deadpool one-shot releasing this November—continuing the collaboration momentum between Marvel and DC, with hints that Superman and Spider-Man will meet up in 2026.

Not to be outdone, Marvel has announced the culmination of its Ultraman saga with The Fall of Ultraman, a one-shot finale coming this February. The creative team behind Ultraman’s adventures at Marvel—Kyle Higgins and Mat Groom—are wrapping up five years of storytelling that included Ultraman crossing dimensions and teaming up with the Avengers in last year’s Ultraman X the Avengers. The story promises a cosmic threat that may prove to be Ultraman’s most challenging battle yet. The creators have teased that this conclusion was always planned from the start, promising fans an emotional farewell to Shin, Kiki, Dan, and the rest of the Ultra Guard.

November is an especially rich month for new comics overall, with DC and Marvel previewing highly anticipated issues from X-Men, Spider-Man, and Batman franchises. Spider-Man fans can look forward to previews hinting at big developments for Peter Parker, while X-Men’s latest run spotlights familiar favorites with fresh challenges. Batman continues to drive excitement with new storylines that often intersect with major DC events.

In the world of covers and collected editions, industry insiders are highlighting the most anticipated graphic novels, omnibuses, and hardcovers available this month. Adam Kubert’s exclusive variant for Deadpool/Batman, along with standout covers by Russell Dauterman and Esad Ribić, have drawn particular collector interest.

Fans of horror comics will find the genre thriving, with Oni Press continuing its experiment driven by tales of firsthand paranormal encounters. New releases this mid-November expand the boundaries of comic storytelling through unique art and narrative forms.

Meanwhile, artist Art Baltazar has entertained fans by drawing beloved faces like Hulk, Spider-Man, Chewie, and the Human Torch—demonstrating both nostalgia and fresh takes in character design. For webcomic enthusiasts, ongoing strips like Curtis by Ray Billingsley continue to deliver daily laughs and relatable stories.

All told, the comic book landscape this week is energetic, with landmark crossovers, long-awaited final chapters, and a robust offering of new issues. Whether it’s the end of Ultraman’s Marvel journey, the growing legacy of Deadpool and Batman’s unlikely team-up, or the steady innovation in horror and independent comics, November 2025 is proving to be a dynamic and memorable month for comic fans everywhere.
