Next 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.

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 13th new comic book day of 2025! This post covers Image Comics March 26 2025 new releases. Missed this week’s releases? Check out last week’s post covering Image Comics March 19 2025 new releases.

This week in Image Comics: Many new #1s – including true crime getting too true, the next generation of mad science, a surprising mummy, and swingin’ 60s Bitter Root! Plus, Cobra Commander’s fate, Department of Truth does a Deep Throat, Feral cats back for a new arc, Savage Dragon goes kid-friendly (😬), and more!

The Krisis Pick of the Week: There are several intriguing #1s this week, but the one I keep coming back to is You’ll Do Bad Things (2025) #1 from Tyler Boss. Not only do I love a title that’s a imperative sentence, but I’m very curious to see more of artist Tyler Boss as an author. But, I almost picked Universal Monsters: The Mummy (2025) #1 by Faith Erin Hicks!!! More on both – and other intriguing #1s – below!

This post includes every comic out from Image Comics this week on March 26 2025, plus collected editions. This isn’t the typical comic releases post you can find on other sites. Why? I explain each collection and comment on every series with a new issue out this week to help you figure out if they’re for you.

Plus, for some long-running series and Image Comics imprints, I’ll point you to a personally-curated guide within the Crushing Comics Guide to Indie Comics to find out how to collect that title in full!

This week in Image Comics: Copra dies, gunslingers & knights in the afterlife, the deadly secrets of becoming an adult, rebellious devils, seven minutes lost in space, rebel princess vs. robot warlord, the return of O’Malley’s Snotgirl, Autobots and Decepticons throw down, and more!

These posts will give me a chance to re-orient myself to what’s going on with Image after a few years away from reading any of their books!

The Krisis Pick of the Week: Juvenile (2024) #2! The first issue of this solo comic from Jesús Orellana really captured my imagination and I’m hungry to see where he’ll head with a second issue. More on why I loved it below.

Batman Family: Batgirl, Robin, Catwoman, Harley Quinn, & Nightwing Omnibus Mapping for the Tigereyes Most Wanted DC Omnibus 1st Annual Poll

May 14, 2024 by krisis 3 Comments

The Batman Omnibus Mapping will continue until morale improves! And, well, if morale is already high, I’m going to keep it up anyway. I’ll be loosely mapping missing and most-wanted DC omnibus volumes every day until May 19th! Then, on the 19th, I’ll be joining with Near Mint Condition to launch the first annual Tigereyes Most Wanted DC Omnibus Annual Poll! This post covers the extended Batman Family – Azrael, Batgirl, Robin, Catwoman, Harley Quinn, & Nightwing Omnibus mapping and more, including suggestions for villain omnibuses!

This post explains potential Batman Family Omnibus Mapping for votes on the Tigereyes Most Wanted DC Omnibus 1st Annual Secret Ballot. I’m posting all of these maps before the poll begins to give people the time to consider their favorites, correct our mapping mistakes, and catch books I might have missed.

If you don’t know DC well enough to know what to vote for, stick around for my explanations! Learn why the team behind the poll decided on these books and titles – including giving us feedback if we missed the mark.

If voting is now open, you can use this as your crib sheet! Or… just find some great comics to read!

Remember: These mappings are just my suggestion of how DC could assemble these books. They are meant to help you decide on your votes and build your personal reading list, but your vote on the poll is NOT an endorsement of my specific map. It’s a vote in favor of DC creating a book with that title or covering that period.

High-effort, heavily-researched, over-the-top comics posts like this one are made possible via the support of Patrons of Crushing Krisis. For less than the cost of a single comic issue a month you can fuel my in-depth comics coverage, plus gain access to dozens of exclusive collecting guides & reading orders – including all of the Crushing Comics Guide to DC Comics.

New Comics & Collected Editions Releases: DC Comics – April 24 2024

April 20, 2024 by krisis 1 Comment

It’s the 16th new comic book day of the new year! This post covers DC Comics April 24 2024 releases, which actually hit comic stores on Tuesday April 23 2024. Missed last week’s releases? Check out last week’s post covering DC Comics April 17 2024 new releases.

(DC is still releasing their comics on Tuesday until the start of July, but I think most folks think of Wednesday as release day, so that’s how I’m labelling my posts until then – which means this is the DC Comics April 24 2024 New Releases post… for releases on April 23 😂 )

This week in DC Comics: a hunk of Booster Gold, evergreen Zatanna, Spurrier’s Flash gets weirder, Green Arrow strikes a deal with Amanda Waller, Harley becomes a villainous consultant, Power Girl in the House of Brainiac, and more!

These DC New Releases posts will be a work in progress. I’m slow catching up to present on my DC reading, and some of my DC Guides are twice that far behind on updates. I thought it might be a good idea to do all my reading and updating before beginning this series of posts, but there’s no better way to catch up on all of that than diving deep into New Releases! Sometimes you’ve got to build the plane while you are flying it!

This list includes every comic and digital comic out from DC this week, plus collected editions in omnibus, hardcover, paperback, and digest-sized formats. I recap and review every new single issue. Plus, for every new release, I’ll point you to the right guide within my Crushing Comics Guide to DC Comics to find out how to collect each character in full – and, if a guide is linked from this post, that means it is updated through the present day!

DC Comics April 24 2024 Collected Editions

Booster Gold: The Complete Series, Book One
(2024 paperback, ISBN 978-1779527233 / digital)
This collects more than a year of the 2007 Geoff Johns Booster Gold series. The series ran for #47 issues – right up until Flashpoint – so we’ll need two more volumes to complete it.

The Flash Vol. 20: Time Heist
(2024 paperback, ISBN 978-1779525017 / digital)
See Guide to Flash. DC loves to really make fans wait for their trade paperbacks, so this is the final collection of the 2016 Flash ongoing that concluded a full year ago! There’s no need to backtrack for this if you want to jump onto the current Flash run.

The Joker: The Man Who Stopped Laughing Vol. 2
(2024 hardcover, ISBN 978-1779524928 / digital)
After bouncing around on a couple of DC properties, it seems that Matt Rosenberg has shown a real knack for the underbelly of Gotham. I haven’t caught up to this Joker series that concluded at the end of 2023 yet, but I absolutely loved Rosenberg’s back-ups in Detective Comics so I’m excited to catch up on this. If you prefer a paperback, DC releases a single paperback collection of this entire series in September.

Zatanna by Paul Dini TP 2024 Edition
(2024 paperback, ISBN 978-1779525833 / digital)
This Paul Dini Zatanna material is nearly evergreen – DC always brings it back to print. This includes her entire 2010 series, plus Dini’s famous Zatanna: Everyday Magic (2003) OGN.
