Marvel Comics is lighting the jack o'lanterns and filling up our treat bags a little early with the release of the publisher's October 2021 solicitations, showing off all their planned releases for the month with descriptive text and preview images of the covers.
Marvel's October solicitations have some appropriately spooky tales for the Halloween season, with the solicit text for X-Men #4 setting up a confrontation between the newly reorganized mutant team and the Headless Horseman, a ghastly villain from the location of the former Xavier School, Westchester county.
Along with the fictional school, Westchester County is the location of the real world Sleepy Hollow as well as the setting of Washington Irving's short story 'The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,' which brought the still-enduring story of the Headless Horseman to pop culture.
Not ones to let the X-Men have all the Halloween fun, Ben Grimm and Alicia Masters will take their children trick-or-treating for the first time in Fantastic Four #37 - though the solicit text also warns of the return of a classic FF villain who will bring some tricks to go with the kids' treats.
The spooky spirit continues with a pair of previously announced one-shots tying into October's Death of Doctor Strange #2, those being Strange Academy Presents: Death of Doctor Strange #1 and Avengers: Death of Doctor Strange #1, both of which deal with the magical threats that arise after Strange's death, and the other fallout of Earth not having an active Sorcerer Supreme.
Likewise, Marvel's Darkhold story ramps up in October, bringing a little bit of dark magic to the season in a pair of already revealed one-shots starring Iron Man and Blade.
October also brings the finale of The United States of Captain America, which introduces the last Captain America-inspired local hero of the so-called Captains Network, an actual active duty captain in the US Air Force.
And speaking of Captains, October's Captain Marvel #33 will ramp up Carol Danvers' fight against the 'Dark Marvels,' other heroes who have used 'Marvel' in their codenames who have been subverted to evil - starting with the return of Genis-Vell.
All of this, and we're only scratching the surface of what's in Marvel Comics' full October solicitations, so peruse the text, and as always, look for additional variants in some of the cover galleries, marked with pop-out boxes.
You can also check out the Marvel Comics July 2021 solicitations, Marvel Comics August 2021 solicitations, and the Marvel Comics September 2021 solicitations, or check out all of Marvel and DC's (including its October 2021 solicits) here on our solicitations tab.

This new series, ideal for young fans and loyal readers alike, will explore the moments that make T'Challa who he is, from his adventurous upbringing to his walkabout as a teen where he meets the enchanting Ororo Munroe before she becomes the legendary Storm, to when he first invites the Fantastic Four into Wakanda! Son, Brother, Warrior, King – as each chapter unfolds, new pieces of T'Challa's character will be revealed and the Black Panther will emerge.
