Archie & Antarctic Try To Publish K-Pop Demon Hunters In January 2026

Archie Comics and Antarctic Press try to publish K-Pop Demon Hunters in January 2026 solicitations



Article Summary

  • Archie Comics teases a K-Pop Demon Hunters-style story for their January 2026 Valentine's Spectacular issue
  • Antarctic Press launches Demon Hunter and K-POP themed sketchbooks, inspired by the hit animated movie
  • No official K-Pop Demon Hunters comic yet, but publishers offer playful homages in their solicitations
  • Fans can expect music, romance, and supernatural action in upcoming K-Pop Demon Hunters inspired comics

The biggest hit of the year in all media has been the animated movie KPop Demon Hunters on Netflix. But there is no comic book spinoff (yet). Archie Comics' January 2026 solicits and solicitations feature only one title, Archie's Valentine's Spectacular, written by Holli G and drawn by Steven and Lily Butler, Glenn Whitmore, and Jack Morelli. Archie Comics describes it as a "fun KPOP DEMON HUNTERS-style story, along with even more romance-filled tales than ever."

Antarctic Press are a little cheekier. They are publishing two sketchbooks in comic book form for January, a Demon Hunter Sketchbook and a K-POP Sketchbook, independently, neither infringing trademark, but if you sit them side by side… well, they deliberately put them the wrong way round in the solicits.
