Today's edition brings together three kinds of discovery. Wonder Woman receives a firm publishing endpoint; Batman gets an entry path built by the publisher; and Control Resonant approaches with a preview that identifies its protagonist, setting and relationship to the first game.
For Wonder Woman, the verified fact is editorial: DC has dated issue #40 for December 16 and describes it as the conclusion to Wonder War and the Tom King and Daniel Sampere run. The ending is not yet published knowledge at NERDEXA, so any claimed story consequence would be speculation.
For Batman Day, version discipline is the most useful service. Batman of Two Worlds contains two stories, but main-continuity Batman and Absolute Batman remain separate. The same discipline keeps a positive Control preview from becoming review consensus or a promotional recap from becoming a definitive chronology.
The ending has a date; the outcome does not
Wonder Woman #40 will close Tom King and Daniel Sampere's run
DC announced Wonder Woman #40 for December 16, 2026 as the conclusion to Wonder War and the run that began in 2023, written by Tom King with art and main cover by Daniel Sampere.
The date, issue number and creative team are announced facts. Story consequences and their durability require the published issue.
Territory, continuity & evidence
U.S. comic-shop release announced by DC; international editions and store inventory are not verified.
The Wonder Woman series launched in 2023 in DC's main continuity; this does not automatically apply to Absolute Wonder Woman or screen adaptations.
Source date: September 18, 2026. Research recorded: September 19, 2026.
Wonder Woman #40 closes a publishing run that began in 2023, but it does not justify guessing which changes will survive the issue. The useful next step is a journey page that organizes the six collected volumes and identifies where Wonder War begins without mixing this series with Absolute Wonder Woman or screen adaptations.
Two stories, two Batmen, two contexts
Batman Day gets an official path through different versions
DC's September 19 guide positions Batman of Two Worlds as an event entry point while explicitly keeping its main-universe Batman story separate from its Absolute Batman story.
Publication of the guide and its version split are verified. This does not confirm stock at any individual U.S. retailer.
Territory, continuity & evidence
English-language DC guide; inventory and participating retailers vary by market.
Two separate stories: Batman in DC's main continuity and Absolute Batman in the Absolute Universe.
Source date: September 18, 2026. Research recorded: September 19, 2026.
DC's guide turns Batman Day into an entry point rather than one list for every reader. Batman of Two Worlds is a strong Atlas example: the Batman identity connects both stories, while continuity prevents one version's facts from being assigned to the other.
A preview can orient readers; a review must wait
Control Resonant approaches with Dylan at the center
A PlayStation Blog hands-on preview keeps September 24, 2026 for the PS5 release and identifies Dylan Faden as the protagonist exploring connected districts in Manhattan.
Date, platform, protagonist and demonstrated features are sourced. The author's positive impressions are not an independent review consensus.
Territory, continuity & evidence
U.S.-facing PlayStation Blog post; local store inventory and other markets were not checked.
A sequel to Control centered on Dylan Faden; the preview is not a full Remedy Connected Universe chronology.
Source date: September 18, 2026. Research recorded: September 19, 2026.
The official page places Dylan Faden at the center of the sequel, moves its main setting to Manhattan and keeps September 24 for PS5. The contributor's impressions belong to a hands-on preview; audience reception, performance and technical comparisons require later evidence.
