Did Comic Con Africa leave you in the mood for comics? Well, then, you’ve come to the right place. I’m still trying to catch up on much-needed sleep after this year’s Comic Con Africa. Still, unfortunately for me, the month of October couldn’t care less about my exhaustion, and it’s brought a plethora of new comic book releases.
If you couldn’t make it to Comic Con Africa this year, we’ve written some great articles about it to ensure you don’t miss you. You can read the interview we did with some of South Africa’s most prominent names in comics here; See what Dungeons and Dragons at the event was like here; Catch up on all things KFC here, and see some of our favourite artists from the con here.
Now, let’s dive into it – here are all the comics releasing in October 2022
