It’s time for my tiniest guide of all time for Patrons of CK! How tiny? We’re talking about eleven issues. Twelve, if we count a black-and-white edition. So why make a guide to this comic? Because even though I own it, I wasn’t entirely sure of its release order or if there was a different order to read it in, and if I am not sure that means someone on Reddit is bound to ask! Plus, ’tis the season… for my Guide to Klaus by Morrison & Mora.
Guide to Klaus by Morrison & Mora
This guide is available exclusively to Patrons until Christmas Day!
I am historically not the hugest fan of Grant Morrison, but my curiosity got the better of me a few years ago and I dug into his initial seven-issue Klaus mini-series with artist Dan Mora. I was surprised to discover it was a surprisingly grounded “Santa Claus Begins” story. Given Morrison’s many authorial flights of fancy, I wasn’t expecting their take on one of the world’s most-cherishes myths to be quite so straightforward!
Then I read onward to the four one-shots that followed… which felt more like the Grant Morrison I know (and don’t always love).

Next week is the 13th new comic book day of 2025! This post covers DC Comics March 26 2025 new releases. Missed this week’s releases? Check out last week’s post covering DC Comics March 19 2025 new releases.
This week in DC Comics: Camp’s Absolute Martian Manhunter debuts, Gunn’s Peacemaker, Taylor & Co’s final Nightwing collected, Diana’s Sovereign face-off concludes, Lex breaks bad, Golden Batman & Promethea reprints, Justice League tries to extinguish Inferno, a foul Harley Quinn one-shot, and more!
The Krisis Pick of the Week: There’s only one answer for me – the reunion of one of my favorite creative teams of the past decade of comics, Kelly Thompson and Mattia De Iulis on Absolute Wonder Woman (2024) #6! To be fair, I’m also pretty damn excited about the continuing story in Green Arrow (2023) #22, but I absolutely lose my mind over any art from Mattia De Iulis, so seeing him credited on a Wonder Woman book is a dream come true for me!!!
This post includes every comic out from DC Comics March 26 2025, plus collected editions in omnibus, hardcover, paperback, and digest-sized formats.
This isn’t the typical comic releases post you can find on other sites. Why? I explain each collection and review every in-continuity series with a new issue out this week.

Next week is the 9th new comic book day of 2025! This post covers DC Comics February 26 2025 new releases. Missed this week’s releases? Check out last week’s post covering DC Comics February 19 2025 new releases.
This week in DC Comics: Absolute Wonder Woman wraps up an arc, Taylor’s Batman gets more entangled, Morrison & Millar’s Flash goes Deluxe, Harley Pygs out, Spurrier’s very hard Hellblazer, Lois Lane is a super time-traveller, and more!
The Krisis Pick of the Week: Joshua Willamson’s Superman (2023) #23 had reached the rare point that I’m thinking about the book randomly during unrelated moments of my day, wondering where he will take things next. I’m a sucker for a Doomsday story, especially one that plays with his origins and purpose. This is about as fun as Superman gets for me! However, it was a very close call between picking this and Batman: The Long Halloween – The Last Halloween (2024) #5 (of 10) – featuring The Joker as rendered by Bill Sienkiewicz.

The Krisis Pick of the Week: I hate to repeat myself, but I’ve got to stick with Absolute Superman (2024) #4. I think this Absolute Universe book from Jason Aaron, Rafa Sandoval, Ulises Arreola, and Becca Carey is the pinnacle of superhero comics right now. it would be at the top of my stack for the entire month, so of course it’s my top pull of the week!
