Zatanna (2025) #3, a DC Comics April 16 2025 new releaseNext week is the 16th new comic book day of 2025! This post covers DC Comics April 16 2025 new releases. Missed this week’s releases? Check out last week’s post covering DC Comics April 9 2025 new releases.

This week in DC Comics: Superman Day kicks off the Summer of Superman, Absolute Rogues, Waid’s “We Are Yesterday” begins in the past, a Five Years Later reprint five years later, the sharp edges of Zatanna’s mystery, the Sonic League, conflicts explode in The New Gods, and more!

The Krisis Pick of the Week: There are a lot of heavyweight issues out this week that I considered. Last month, picking Detective Comics gave me a surefire winner because Taylor & Janin’s run has just been that damn good. And, I’m very tempted to pick Christopher Cantwell’s Challengers of the Unknown (2024) #5 (of 5… or 6). But, I’m going with Jamal Campbell’s Zatanna (2025) #3. Last issue was wildly entertaining and gave us terrific contrast from the debut issue. Plus, there’s no one else in comics who draws quite like Campbell.

This post includes every comic out from DC Comics April 16 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. Plus, for most new releases, I’ll point you to a personally-curated guide within the Crushing Comics Guide to DC Comics to find out how to collect that title in full!

There’s no other website on the internet that can claim that.

Green Lantern Corps (2025) #3, a DC Comics April 9 2025 new releaseNext week is the 15th new comic book day of 2025! This post covers DC Comics April 9 2025 new releases. Missed this week’s releases? Check out last week’s post covering DC Comics April 2 2025 new releases.

This week in DC Comics: Batman’s Absolute second arc, G. Willow Wilson’s superstar Superman, Finest Batgirl, Aquaman lost in The Blue, Deluxe Fudd by King & Weeks, Snyder & Tynion’s League hits omnibus, Lantern’s journey to the center of Thanagar, the Dark Patterns of a talking tower, and more!

The Krisis Pick of the Week: I know I’m supposed to pick Batman: Dark Patterns (2024) #5 because we are all obsessed with Dark Patterns. And I’m sure it will be amazing, especially after last month’s final page! But, folks, I am just too dang curious about another final reveal from last month – the one that’s leading into Green Lantern Corps (2025) #3. After a gorgeous and super-tense issue #2, I absolutely need to know what’s going on with Thanagar’s unexpected golden center! I’m so curious I would pay extra to read it right now.

This post includes every comic out from DC Comics April 9 2025, plus collected editions in omnibus, hardcover, paperback, and digest-sized formats.

Detective Comics (1937) #1095, a DC Comics March 19 2025 new releaseNext week is the 12th new comic book day of 2025! This post covers DC Comics March 19 2025 new releases. Missed this week’s releases? Check out last week’s post covering DC Comics March 12 2025 new releases.

This week in DC Comics: Absolute Flash debuts, two generations of Robins in peril, Zatanna vs. ghosts of magic past, Finest Bronze Age team-ups, Nightwing does a heist, the Justice League races to defeat Darkseid with Sonic, and more!

The Krisis Pick of the Week: This is a surprisingly close call, as there are several comics in this week’s pull that I am very excited to read more of – especially Jamal Campbell’s Zatanna (2025) #2! However, my undisputed winner of the week is Detective Comics (1937 / 2016) #1095. Every time I think back to last issue and where we left Damian my heart starts racing all over again. When I can still remember every page of one of 200+ new issues I’ve read in the past month, we’ve got a winner on our hands.

This post includes every comic out from DC Comics March 19 2025, plus collected editions in omnibus, hardcover, paperback, and digest-sized formats.

Batman: Dark Patterns (2024) #4, a DC Comics March 12 2025 new releaseNext week is the 11th new comic book day of 2025! This post covers DC Comics March 12 2025 new releases. Missed this week’s releases? Check out last week’s post covering DC Comics March 5 2025 new releases.

This week in DC Comics: Absolute destruction of Krypton, Finest Suicide Squad, Arrow in Omnibus, Black Lightning’s last strike, a new case full of Dark Patterns, and more!

The Krisis Pick of the Week: This is too hard… there are two books that have been embedded in my Top 10 out this week! But, after a long deliberation, I think I have to pick Batman: Dark Patterns (2024) #4 over Absolute Superman (2024) #5. Dark Patterns just wrapped up a very satisfying first arc in three issues, whereas Absolute Superman is alternating a main story with origin issues – a publishing strategy I’m not wild about, even if all of the content is absolutely stellar.

The New Gods (2024) #3, a DC Comics February 19 2025 new releaseNext week is the 8th new comic book day of 2025! This post covers DC Comics February 19 2025 new releases. Missed this week’s releases? Check out last week’s post covering DC Comics February 12 2025 new releases.

This week in DC Comics: a new god on Earth, answers for The Question, long-awaited Golden Age Wonder Woman, Titans get psycho, Red Hood’s Hill, a perfectly imperfect Shazam, a Milestone climax, and more!

The Krisis Pick of the Week: Despite being excited for several comics this week, this is an easy pick – The New Gods (2024) #3! Just the idea of seeing one more page of Evan Cagle’s artwork colored by Francesco Segala makes me giddy, which says nothing of the intergalactic mystery of this story.
