The new Marvel's publishing plan from Panini for 2026 It's already on the table, and judging by everything announced, the year is going to be anything but quiet. Between major mutant events, the farewell to a key alternate universe, and a barrage of reissues and new lines, the publisher is maintaining a consistent approach but with A lot of activity on almost all fronts.
The general feeling is that Panini is betting on to consolidate the model that has worked by 2025 And, at the same time, use 2026 to tie up loose ends and open the door to new chapters. The Spanish reader will encounter a very busy schedulebut relatively organized by collections, lines, and formats.
A year of continuity in format, but powerful in events
From the outset, Panini makes it clear that the publishing schedule isn't changing much: it's consolidating the comic-book format with spine and quarterly volumes for many of the leading series. This is in addition to the continuation of lines such as Marvel Premiere, Marvel Saga TPB, and Marvel Essentials. Marvel GoldMarvel Heroes, Marvel Must Have and Marvel Deluxe, which will continue to set the pace in specialized bookstores.
In parallel, 2026 is marked by several high-impact events within the Marvel universeThe great mutant cycle, Age of Revelation, the final throes of storylines like A World Without Death and Imperial, and the step forward of Marvel Knights: The World to Come, the Ultimate Endgame crossover and Spider-Man crossovers like Spider-Man/Venom: Death Spiral or Armageddon, which will reorder the Avengers' place.
The idea is clear: the year can be described as one of continuity in terms of format and themes, but of a major shake-up in the plot, especially for mutants, arachnids, the cosmic universe and the Ultimate line.
The Age of Revelation: The Great Mutant Front
The center of gravity of the plan for 2026 in Spain is occupied by major mutant event The Age of RevelationPanini positions it as the spiritual heir to great sagas of the past. The series kicks off with the release of Overture in January, and from then on, the mutant calendar revolves around this alternate future.
main series of the X franchise The main issues will be published in Spanish in single issues, while the miniseries and spin-offs will be released in individual hardcover volumes. This allows those who only want to follow the main plot to have a clear path, while at the same time, it allows completist readers to delve into every corner of the event.
The cycle is accompanied by other mutant pieces that continue to fuel the reconstruction of the X corner: the compilations of the It was from Krakoa In volumes, the Tribulations of X stage is completed and, later, the phase called Destiny of X begins, where the titles begin to be compiled by individual series instead of in joint volumes.
Within this block, space is also reserved for specific projects, such as the special that brings together X Lives / X Deaths of Wolverine in a single volume, conceived as a almost independent but key piece to understand the character's evolution.
Arachnids at full performance: from issue 1000 to Death Spiral
The Spider-Man universe is once again one of the year's biggest stars. In Spanish comics and collected editions, The Amazing Spider-Man It maintains its constant presence, with its sights set on the symbolic 1000th issue of the original US edition, a milestone that Panini is already starting to prepare for the end of the year.
Alongside the main series, the plan includes several series and miniseries focused on the arachnid environmentPaperback volumes will be released featuring Spiderman and Wolverine, Spiderman '94, Spider-Man: Broken (with JM Straczynski writing the script) and new Black Cat stories, which will be published in a format similar to Marvel Premiere.
The big crossover of the summer will be Death SpiralThis event sees Spider-Man caught in a violent spiral alongside Venom and other symbiotes. This crossover will be published in a coordinated manner across the main title and specific trade paperbacks, allowing readers to follow the story from both the Spider-Man series and the Venom-focused volumes.
This scenario is further enhanced by other series already underway such as Miles Morales: Spider-Man or New Venom, which maintain their continuity in comic-book format with spine, consolidating a true "spider microverse" within Panini's Marvel catalog.
Re-releases of classic heroes and a new cosmic era
2026 will also be the year in which Panini takes advantage of the relaunches of key series that Marvel is carrying out in the United StatesThe publisher is bringing to Spain, in quarterly hardcover volumes, new runs of Captain America (Chip Zdarsky's run arrives in January), Iron Man (relaunched in July with Joshua Williamson), Mortal Thor (February), Infernal Hulk (June), Daredevil with a script by Stephanie Phillips (August) or a new volume of The Punisher planned for the end of summer.
Some of these titles were already being published in similar formats, like Iron Man, but now Panini reinforces the model of the periodical with a spine as the standard. for ongoing series, especially those with established authors and a proven track record.
In the cosmic realm, the plan marks a turning point with the relaunch of the Marvel space universe after the Imperial eventThroughout the summer, several new collections will be released: Planet She-Hulk in June, Nova Centurion in July, Exiles in September, and Imperial Guardians in October. All of these will also be published in hardcover editions, following the trend of unifying the cosmic line in a format convenient for bookstores and readers.

Marvel Premiere: current affairs engine and gateway
La Marvel Premiere line It is consolidating its position as one of the pillars of Panini's publishing plan for Spain. This series of paperback volumes, designed to compile recent story arcs after their initial run in single issues, will be significantly expanded in 2026.

It is the gateway for Spanish readers to the new vision of the Ultimate universe, which will be coordinated with the closure of other titles in that same line in the United States.
Added to this is the inclusion, also in Premiere, of the Jed MacKay's Avengerswhich arrive in volumes that compile their run in an orderly fashion, allowing you to follow the series without having to look for individual issues from previous issues.
Marvel Saga TPB, Essentials and the continuity of the Marvel Libraries
For those looking long stages in a manageable formatPanini maintains and strengthens key lines. Marvel Saga TPB continues with ongoing series such as The Amazing Spider-Man, Ed Brubaker's Captain America, Project Marvels, and Old Man Logan, with new volumes arriving throughout the year.
Meanwhile, the Marvel Essentials line adjusts its pace and begins to have a single monthly volumeDespite the reduced frequency, the content remains strong: titles such as 1985, Grey Hulk, Spiderman: Kraven's Last Hunt, Thor Ragnarok, and Avengers: Assault on Mansion, among others, are announced, always in budget format but with reference stories.

Beyond these titles, Panini announces collaborations with SD for reissue classic and modern material which had been demanded for some time. Highlights include, for example, the paperback reissue of John Byrne's Namor and, in hardcover, projects such as Roy and Dann Thomas's West Coast Avengers or Mike Baron's Punisher.
As for the most recent material, under the Complete Collection label, works such as Agent Venom, Runaways or Greg Rucka's Wolverine will be published, all of them designed to bring together a closed stage in a manageable number of volumes.

Volumes of Jason Aaron's Avengers, Invincible Iron Man, Captain America, Dan Slott's Fantastic Four, and Donny Cates' Hulk continue to be released, along with some volumes designed as standalone reads within this line.
Unexpected classics and special rescues
