Upcoming Releases: November 2024
It’s the season of being thankful, and Certified Guaranty Company® (CGC®) is thankful for all of the collectibles that have been released throughout 2024 so far! Of course, with the holidays approaching, we’re not done yet — there are still two more months to go in the year, and many brand-new pop culture releases are on the horizon. Here’s what we can look forward to this November.
Upcoming Comic Releases
Absolute Superman #1 – November 6
DC’s Absolute Universe expands once again with the re-introduction of the Man of Steel himself!
In previous iterations of Superman’s origins, baby Kal-El has always arrived on Earth as an infant. Typically, he lands straight into the arms of the loving Kent family in Smallville. However, DC’s Absolute Superman #1 changes everything — Superman’s entire origins are challenged and altered in this series. Instead of arriving on Earth as a baby, Kal-El arrives as a full-grown man, and even lands somewhere besides Kent Farm!
Following the insanely popular launch of the DC Absolute Universe, it expands even more to welcome the introduction of Absolute Superman by Jason Aaron and Rafa Sandoval. According to DC Comics, Superman is “without the fortress… without the family… without a home. What’s left is the Absolute Man of Steel!”
Absolute Superman #1 releases on November 6!

Wicked – November 22
It’s almost our turn to have “one short day” in the Emerald City!
When Wicked premiered in San Fransisco as a musical in May 2023, it became a cultural phenomenon that shook the theater industry to its core. The drama between Elphaba — the Wicked Witch of the West — and Galinda — the Good Witch — and their evolving relationship both before and after the events of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz were beautifully captured on stage, enrapturing audiences. The stage play broke several records and received numerous awards, and it continues to be beloved and watched today.
Now, the tragic tale is coming to the big screen. Join the green-skinned Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo) and the popular and good Galinda (Ariana Grande) as they navigate their initial meeting, friendship and respective journeys that eventually lead to them becoming the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good, respectively.
