Marvel’s Mangaverse anniversary special Marvel Mangaverse: Ghostlocke #1 is on sale September 23, 2026, per AIPT’s preview release-date line — a 32-page one-shot from Alyssa Wong and Michael YG (colors Raúl Angulo; cover Yuji Kaku).
Pitch (Marvel / AIPT): Carnage carves through humans and yokai chasing a cataclysmic prophecy; standing in the way is Ghostlocke — Kwannon as a hell-fueled Ghost Rider on a Shinigami bike, hunting Cletus Kasady down the road to ruin. Wong and YG reunite for the Mangaverse 25th Anniversary special.
Street note: prefer AIPT’s Sep 23 date; some secondary coverage floated Sep 30 — treat that as softer unless Marvel Shop contradicts. Soft-pedal unrelated MCU / Ryan Gosling Ghost Rider chatter from other ledes; this package is the comics one-shot.
As-of: 2026-09-19 morning ~8:25 AM CT (America/Chicago). Sep 23, 32 pages, Wong/YG/Angulo/Kaku, and Ghostlocke/Kwannon vs Carnage beat verified against AIPT preview. MCU casting chatter omitted by design.
