Next week is the 18th new comic book day of 2025! This post covers DC Comics April 30 2025 new releases. Missed this week’s releases? Check out last week’s post covering DC Comics April 23 2025 new releases.

This week in DC Comics: Ewing does Detective, Grodd’s reign continues in Waid’s League, All-In Special hits paperback, Power Company recharges, a Silver Lantern omnibus, and more!

The Krisis Pick of the Week: It’s slim pickings this week, but there’s one book I’m sure everyone is curious about: Al Ewing writing Batman in Detective Comics (1937 / 2016) Annual 1/2025! Despite my slight weariness with Ewing in 2025, I have to admit I’m curious to see what he’ll do with a single issue story of Batman. Ewing could be a fine writer to take up the “creepy detective story” vibe of Dark Patterns when the Dan Watters & Hayden Sherman maxi-series ends.

This post includes every comic out from DC Comics April 30 2025, plus collected editions in omnibus, hardcover, paperback, and digest-sized formats. April 30 is the fifth Wednesday of the month and DC does not typically release issues of ongoing series on a fifth week. Instead, this week we have a chapter of a maxi-series, the conclusion of a mini-series, and several one-shots and annuals – as well as Free Comic Book Day.

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.

Next 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.

Next 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.

Next 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 Krisis Pick of the Week: Once again, DC is presenting me with a nearly impossible choice! Catwoman, Detective, Harley Quinn, Justice League, and Superman have all been superlative comics in the past few months. However, I think the cliffhanger in the last issue of makes me most eager to read Green Arrow (2023) #20!

DC Comics January 22 2025 Collected Editions

DC Finest: Green Arrow – The Longbow Hunters TP
(2025 paperback, ISBN 978-1779529916)
See Guide to Green Arrow. Ollie enters the DC Finest line with what is truly his finest story, Mike Grell’s “The Longbow Hunters” mini-series and then the start of Grell’s length run on Arrow’s ongoing series. This is one of my favorite DC comics runs of all time and I think the writing, the pacing, and the artwork absolutely hold up in the modern day.

Highly recommended if you want to see where the myth of the modern version of Green Arrow began! [Read more…] about New Comics & Collected Editions Releases: DC Comics – January 22 2025
