The My Comics Collection 2026 Marvel Comics calendar aggregates all Marvel solicitations for the next 90 days: Amazing Spider-Man, X-Men, Avengers, the Ultimate Universe (Hickman), Daredevil, Black Widow, Moon Knight, and every upcoming mini-series, one-shot, and event. Filter by month or by franchise, follow 3 series for free, or go Premium for unlimited tracking + auto-wishlist.
Marvel publishes an average of 60 to 90 issues per month across all titles in 2026: ongoings, mini-series, one-shots, annuals, 25th anniversary variants, and more. At that pace, manually keeping up becomes unmanageable even for the most dedicated collector. The built-in calendar cuts through that massive output and shows you only what matters to you — either every Marvel release (publisher filter = Marvel), or the output from one specific franchise (publisher key filter = X-Men or Spider-Man).
Why a dedicated Marvel calendar makes sense in 2026
There's another reason a built-in calendar is essential when following Marvel: the sheer frequency of crossover events. In 2026, Marvel launched two major events that each tie into more than 30 titles. Tracking an event without a built-in calendar means either buying every tie-in (a serious budget commitment) or missing some of them entirely. The calendar lets you see at a glance which tie-ins are coming and when, so you can plan your reading order chronologically.
The most-followed Marvel franchises in 2026
Our analysis of anonymized pull-list usage on My Comics Collection over the first five months of 2026 (April–August 2026) reveals the top 10 most-followed Marvel series among users: (1) Amazing Spider-Man leads, unsurprisingly; (2) X-Men in the new post-Krakoa era; (3) Ultimate Spider-Man by Hickman, a massive critical hit; (4) Daredevil, boosted by anticipation of the MCU return with "Born Again"; (5) Moon Knight, off the back of the Disney+ series; (6) Avengers, current volume; (7) Wolverine, new series; (8) Punisher; (9) Venom; (10) Black Panther by Ta-Nehisi Coates or Eve L. Ewing.
This top 10 reflects both MCU/Disney+ resonance (Daredevil, Moon Knight, and Black Panther are clearly getting a boost from their adaptations) and Marvel's editorial strategy of periodically relaunching flagship titles with a new creative team to refresh reader interest.
Using Marvel filters to follow only what you care about
The calendar offers several filtering levels to cut down on Marvel noise. The publisher filter set to "Marvel" excludes DC and independents. The publisher key filter (more granular) lets you zero in on a sub-franchise: "Spider-Man" will display ASM + Spectacular Spider-Man + Miles Morales + Silk + Ghost-Spider, and more; "X-Men" will cover Uncanny + X-Men + X-Force + X-Factor + all current mutant titles.
The winning combination for the investment-minded Marvel collector: publisher key filter = "Marvel" + text search = "#1" or "new" to spot the launch of new series. Debut issues are historically the breeding ground for valuable first appearances, and catching them at the solicit stage gives you a head start when deciding what to buy at cover price.
Marvel 2026 calendar vs. the PreviewsWorld newsletter
For collectors already familiar with the Diamond/PreviewsWorld newsletter, here's the added value of the My Comics Collection built-in calendar. Accessibility: the calendar is in your interface in one click, versus a monthly email you have to parse through PreviewsWorld. Filters and search: 3 filter axes plus fuzzy search, versus a 100+ page PDF to scroll through. Visuals: cover art rendered as thumbnails with disk cache, versus low-resolution PDF images. Active tracking: a "Follow" button on every entry with optional auto-wishlist, versus nothing in PreviewsWorld, which is purely informational.
The PreviewsWorld newsletter remains useful for publishers not covered by Metron (some very small publishers, certain Diamond-exclusive releases not reported to Metron). For major publishers (Marvel, DC, Image, IDW, Dark Horse), the built-in calendar covers 95%+ of releases with a far better user experience.
Cross-referencing the Marvel calendar with your existing collection
One advanced Premium feature lets you cross-reference upcoming releases against your existing Marvel catalog. If you've catalogued 320 issues of Amazing Spider-Man in My Comics Collection, the calendar knows which issue you own last and can show you "upcoming missing issues" before they ship. This projection lets you pre-budget your monthly purchases.
To get the most out of this synergy, make sure your Marvel collection is up to date in the app. See our guide on how to inventory your comics collection and the dedicated pillar on managing your Amazing Spider-Man collection, both of which detail the optimal cataloging method.
