Marvel’s Trick-Or-Read program returns this October, featuring free comics like “Infernal Hulk” and “Spidey and His Amazing Friends” to attract new readers and engage younger fans.

The press release follows:

Media Release – Marvel Trick-Or-Read, the annual program that gives comic shops the opportunity to grab new readers with free Marvel comics during the Halloween season, returns this October! Featuring an exciting entry point into one of Marvel’s biggest current stories alongside all-ages adventures, Trick-Or-Read is the perfect way for fans to discover their next favorite comic.



Since it began in 2023, Phillip Kennedy Johnson and Nic Klein’s acclaimed Hulk run has been equal parts horrifying and captivating. Last year’s relaunch as INFERNAL HULK marked the Eldest’s terrifying takeover of Hulk’s body, setting the stage for next year’s HULK WAR, a linewide crossover event. Readers can catch up on the current saga and behold the Eldest’s plans to remake the Marvel Universe in his twisted image with INFERNAL HULK #1 HALLOWEEN TRICK-OR-READ 2026. The special reprint of INFERNAL HULK #1 arrives just in time for the INFERNAL HULK VS. one-shots, the penultimate chapters of the INFERNAL SAGA. Starting with INFERNAL HULK VS. WOLVERINE #1 in September, the five one-shots see Infernal Hulk clash with Marvel’s heroes while assembling an army of corrupted, monstrous champions.

For younger readers, SPIDEY AND HIS AMAZING FRIENDS #1 HALLOWEEN TRICK-OR-READ 2026, featuring stories and activities based on Marvel’s Spidey and his Amazing Friends on Disney Jr. and Disney+, is a perfect introduction to comics for the next generation of Marvel fans. Fresh off a starring role in his first one-shot comic, the messy little monster Symbie takes center stage in this issue alongside Spidey, Ghost-Spider, and Spin in a comic that’s sweeter than a Halloween treat.

INCREDIBLE…IMMORTAL…INFERNAL!

The evil known as Eldest has literally torn Bruce Banner and the Hulk apart and taken the Hulk’s body as their own. This new, unstoppable Infernal Hulk is ten times the monster that everyone always feared Hulk would be. Their diabolical plan is to plunge the world back into ancient horrors by transforming our heroes into nightmarish beasts! Meanwhile, the indomitable Bruce Banner, though powerless, will stop at nothing to thwart their evil schemes!
