New Comics & Collected Editions Releases: DC Comics – April 30 2025

April 25, 2025 by krisis Leave a Comment

Detective Comics (1937 / 2016) Annual 1/2025, a DC Comics April 30 2025 new releaseNext 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.

And now, onto DC Comics April 30 2025 new releases! [Read more…] about New Comics & Collected Editions Releases: DC Comics – April 30 2025

This week in DC Comics: Absolute Diana in the underworld and martians seeing colors, Nightwing Rebirth in omnibus, an anonymous Power Girl ends, Superman vs. Lex (yawn), Finest Superman Family, H2sh stumbles into a second chapter, Deluxe Dark Knights of Steel, Flash gets eclipsed, and more!

The Krisis Pick of the Week: Of course my pick is Absolute Martian Manhunter (2025) #2! Issue one was so damn good I wrote a whole song about it that I haven’t stopped singing for an entire month! But, there are a lot of great issues out from DC this week that I can’t wait to read. They’re crushing it right now.

This post includes every comic out from DC Comics April 23 2025, plus collected editions in omnibus, hardcover, paperback, and digest-sized formats.

Absolute Wonder Woman (2024) #6, a DC Comics March 26 2025 new releaseNext 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!!!

Ultimate Wolverine (2025) #3, a Marvel Comics March 26 2025 new releaseNext week is the 13th new comic book day of 2025! This post covers Marvel Comics March 26 2025 new releases. Missed this week’s releases? Check out last week’s post covering Marvel Comics March 19 2025 new releases.

This week in Marvel Comics: Godzilla invades the Marvel U, X-Manhunt is over (hooray!), Scarlet Witch gets Masterworked, Daredevil wraps his neverending deadly sins, Ultimate Gambit & Kitty Pryde, DWJ’s Beta Ray Bill back to print, Red Hulk breaks out, Old Republic Legends reprinted, whatever the Pooluminati are, and more!

The Krisis Pick of the Week: It’s is a very tight call to make this pick over two books resolving cliffhangers that have been on my mind all month, but I have to give it to Ultimate Wolverine (2025) #3 debuting Ultimate Gambit and Kitty Pryde! This book is becoming the de facto “Ultimate X-Men” since the actual Ultimate X-Men (2024) isn’t much of a traditional X-Men title. However, I very nearly picked Red Hulk (2025) #2 or Ultimate Spider-Man (2024) #15 given how both of their prior issues left off last month.

New for Patrons: Red She-Hulk AKA Harpy

August 22, 2022 by krisis

I’m back today with a highly-specific guide for “pledgeonaut” Patrons of CK. This one also spun out of last week’s update to my Guide to She-Hulk, because it’s also a Guide to She-Hulk! No, not that She-Hulk, the other She-Hulk – it’s a Guide to Red She-Hulk!

Be warned: Even though the guide itself is careful not to spoil details of Red She-Hulk’s secret identity while covering pre-reveal issues, I’m talking about it openly in this post.

Honestly, it was only a secret for nine months 12 years ago! But, I think it was a fun secret executed well, so I try not to ruin it for people who might be coming to the run for the first time.

Marvel was going through an interesting period from 2005-2012 where at first they were revitalizing lines and characters purely out of the business instinct to stay alive, but then they started adjusting them even more due to the popularity of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

To me, this began with the period of Bendis launching New Avengers through the death of Captain America at the end of Civil War, with House of M sandwiched between them. Despite Marvel using the “All-New, All-Different” tagline since the Bronze Age, this was the first time in a while that the main 616-Marvel Universe felt like a truly new and different place.

(A lot of that was down to the sales and popularity pressure from the Ultimate Universe, which at that point was threatening to subsume the main one.)

One result of that period was character lines that felt larger than they used to. Marvel’s major Silver Age characters feel encouraged to reinvent their casts and build their own huge events. That was certainly true for Hulk, which went from a Marvel also-ran to one of their hottest titles on the strength of Greg Pak’s “Planet Hulk” storyline, which spun into the line-wide “World War Hulk” event.

In the wake of that, Pak and Jeph Loeb had more leeway than ever to expand the scope of Hulk comics. Suddenly, there were a lot of Hulks and Gamma-powered characters. We had Bruce Banner as Hulk, Jennifer Walters as She-Hulk, Doc Samson, Rick Jones as A-Bomb, the newly-birthed Skaar, and even Lyra – Hulk’s daughter from a potential future!

(Spoilers begin here.) [Read more…] about New for Patrons: Red She-Hulk AKA Harpy
