DC Comics superheroes go “Pumpkin Spicy” this month

No other subject rips conversations apart like it. It sets brother against brother, spouse against spouse. What can you say about Pumpkin Spice that hasn’t already been said? It’s everywhere, so why not embrace it? You can’t love pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving and shun the same flavor dripped into your coffee, or muffin, or yogurt, or cereal. So like the “Big G” Monster Cereals, the arrival of the most sought-after of spices is in full swing (they’re back, too, all again except for Fruit Brute and Yummy Mummy). We first saw the flavor of pumpkin spice in grocery stores beginning in August. But now you don’t need to be a spice smuggler to find it. It’s now taking over your comic books.

No the books aren’t infused with cinnamon, cloves, ginger, nutmeg, and allspice and maybe some actual pumpkin or just a flavoring added in. Although there is that tale about the band KISS once upon time dropping blood into the dyes of a summer 1977 special comic book issue, so a publisher could add some scent to the dyes, right? Maybe next year. Until then we’re going to tell you it’s okay to climb aboard and enjoy the ride with nine titles from DC Comics labeled as “Pumpkin Spicy.” You can pick them up at your local comic shop or eBay if they’re sold out. As a bonus the variant issues each have a special card stock cover. Below we’ve selected a few others you might want to check out in addition to the nine official variants. Check them out and let us know your favorite in the comments.

Here are the nine DC Comics Pumpkin Spicy covers for September 2025:

Miguel Mercado – Batman and Robin #25

Dan Mora – Catwoman #80

Frank Cho – Harley Quinn #55

Kevin Wada – Nightwing #130

Nathan Szerdy – Poison Ivy #37

Chuma Hill – Supergirl #5

Tom Reilly – Superman #30

Jonboy Meyers – Titans #27

But why stop there? We think these five covers this month also bring their own Pumpkin Spicy theme. How about a Pumpkin Spice cat?

Matteo Lolli – Superman Unlimited #5

There’s actually two Pumpkin Spice kits this month:

Chrissie Zullo – Supergirl #5

And this is nicely pumpkin orange design for Halloween:

Don Aguillo – Aquaman #9

And Cheetah seems to be up to some kind of spicy selection in this twist on Justice League of America #195 and The Uncanny X-Men #141 from 1981:

Nicola Scott – Cheetah and Cheshire Rob the Justice League #2

And there’s something just plain spicy going on here:

Cathy Kwan – Catwoman #79

You can track down all the above issues this month at your favorite comic shop, or check eBay if they’re sold out. Look for this logo for the nine official DC cover variants:
