LGBTQA Previews November 2026 Part 1

Crossover comics were a big surprise earlier this year when mainstream fans had two anthologies full of stories with popular characters from both Marvel and DC appearing together. November will see another crossover when DCs Swamp Thing wanders into the Slaughterverse in a double sized one shot from creators James Tynion IV and Werther Dell’Edera. Swamp Thing Is Killing The Children is published by Boom. Fans of Tove Jansson’s art may want to check her work in the Hobbit Illustrated collection from Harper. One item that really draws my attention is the Bitter Pill graphic novel by Clement Xavier and Heloise Chochois biography of gay journalist and author Randy Shilts. Abrams is the publisher. Patrick Horvath and Tyler Crook are responsible for putting Archie In Hell. That’s coming from Oni under its new arrangement with Archie Comics. And there’s so much more!

Let’s get to the “fine print” and then to the list!

What sort of comics and books will you find here? This list features items from Boom, Mad Cave, Fantagraphics, DSTLRY, and a variety of book publisher imprints, think Abrams and Random House, smaller indy publishers as well as manga. Comics from DC, Marvel, Image, Dark Horse, and IDW can be found in part two.

Titles appear on the list if creators whose names are in bold type identify as LGBTQA+ or are allies or if the work includes queer characters or themes. The strange codes with letters and or numbers after each item are order codes just in case your comic shop needs them for easy ordering.

Whose idea was this? Credit where credit is due – Andy Mangels because this was his idea and wrote many such lists and to Mike McDermott for his suggestions and input about several series that have been added to the list! Notice something missing that should be on the list? Please send a message!

BITTER PILL HC $25.99
Clement Xavier and Heloise Chochois
Pioneering reporter Randy Shilts fights to expose the truth during the earliest days of the AIDS epidemic. With hospital beds filling up, the clock is ticking. . . . What will it take to wake up the nation? San Francisco, 1981. Drawn from true events, this graphic novel follows Randy Shilts-biographer of Harvey Milk and one of the first openly gay journalists hired by the mainstream press-as he receives a chilling call at the Chronicle: a Los Angeles patient is being treated for a rare and aggressive cancer. As Shilts digs deeper, a disturbing pattern emerges. The illness seems to strike only gay men, with early cases linked to a Castro-district bathhouse. A meeting with an infectious disease researcher confirms his worst fear: this so-called “gay cancer” is neither rare nor isolated-it’s the beginning of a national health crisis. With those in power slow to respond, Shilts resorts to bold tactics to force attention on the unfolding HIV/AIDS epidemic. His relentless pursuit of the truth would help change history, exposing a catastrophe too many chose to ignore. In this dramatic graphic portrait inspired by the life and legacy of Randy Shilts, the creators bring to the page a story that feels both urgent and insightful. Shilts’s groundbreaking reporting and books (The Mayor of Castro Street, And the Band Played On, Conduct Unbecoming) became cornerstones of journalism and LGBTQ+ history. This graphic novel offers a powerful new interpretation of the transformative moment that defined his legacy. Featuring an afterword by Randy Shilts biographer Michael Lee, author of When the Band Played On: The Life of Randy Shilts. 0926AB0525

This never happened, yet it’s all true. In a Britain forged in blood, mud, magic, and monsters, the legendary King Arthur is a brutal warlord surrounded by his knights who are every bit as savage, strange, and legendary as the world they inhabit. When the young knight Culhwch arrives at Arthur’s fortress pleading for help in completing 39 impossible tasks assigned him by the giant Ysbaddaden to win the hand of his beautiful daughter Olwen, he and Arthur’s warriors embark on an incredible quest of giant slaying, monstrous boar hunting, and magical treasure theft, as they battle their way through a dying age of myth. But beneath the bloodshed and barbarism, something isn’t right. Because every great legend has a story beneath the story-and King Arthur was never meant to be this kind of hero. From Si Spurrier (Minotaur, The Flash) and Christopher Mitten (Hellboy, The Autumn Kingdom), comes a savage and subversive reimagining of an Arthurian legend-a brutal five-issue fantasy epic in the tradition of Conan the Barbarian, where the heroes are dangerous, the monsters are real, and the age of wonder is coming to an end. 7.202609.81019628044101011
