Marvel’s NYCC 2026 panels tease major Spider-Man news and a new ‘House of Ideas’
Marvel Comics appears to have updated its NYCC schedule on the New York Comic Con website, though it has not yet issued an official press release. With that in mind, some details could change, but check out the panels below!
Based on past panels, Marvel may be retiring the “Next Big Thing” panel, known for its biggest reveals, in favor of a panel called “House of Ideas.” This is likely because Stephen Wacker is taking over as Editor-in-Chief. It’s also worth noting the Spider-Man panel will be revealing details around what to expect post Amazing Spider-Man #1000, which doesn’t come out till October 28th, well after NYCC!
Check out the panels below!
