New Comics & Collected Editions Releases: DC Comics – January 15 2025

January 10, 2025 by krisis 4 Comments

Next week is the 3rd new comic book day of 2025! This post covers DC Comics January 15 2025 new releases. Missed this week’s releases? Check out last week’s post covering DC Comics January 8 2025 new releases.

The New Gods (2024) #2, a DC Comics January 15 2024 new releaseThis week in DC Comics: Finest Supergirl, Millar’s Swamp Thing, Ridey’s Superstar Action, Grønbekk’s perfectly terse Catwoman, V & Cagle stun on New Gods, hunting The Question, and more!

The Krisis Pick of the Week: THIS IS AN IMPOSSIBLE TASK. Seriously, at least five issues out from DC this week could be my pick of the whole month, as you will see based on my comments below. But, under extreme self-imposed duress, I’ll go with The New Gods (2024) #2. I’m trying not to overhype myself for where Ram V is taking the plot, but it’s impossible to hype myself up too much for more of Evan Cagle’s art colored by Francesco Segala.

This post includes every comic out from DC Comics January 15 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.

And now, onto DC Comics January 15 2025 new releases!

DC Comics January 15 2025 Collected Editions

Blue Beetle Vol. 2: Forever Blue
(2025 paperback, ISBN 978-1779528599 / digital)
This collects Blue Beetle (2023) #7-11 to wrap up the series.

I went into this book with a lot of good will for a character who was new to me, but the storytelling never really cohered with the art. It was clear the book was a continuation of a prior run, with characters and plot and it assumed you’d already be familiar with them. But, you ought to be able to jump into any comic at a midway point and with this one I just never could get the hang of it.

If you want to read Blue Beetle, you should skip backwards to Blue Beetle: Graduation Day (2022) as a starting place.

DC Finest: Supergirl – The Girl of Steel (Supergirl Vol. 1)
(2025 paperback, ISBN 978-1779529909)
Supergirl makes her debut in the new DC Finest line of thick paperbacks that are roughly equivalent to Marvel Epic Collections (but a bit longer). This is the debut of Supergirl, starting from her 1959 Silver Age debut and collecting past the end of her first black-and-white Showcase collection (and a wider range of material than her Silver Age Omnibus, though that stretched a bit further into Action).

It includes Supergirl stories from Action Comics (1938) #252-288, Adventure Comics (1938) #278, Superman (1939) #139-140 & 144, Superboy (1949) #80, Superman’s Girl Friend Lois Lane #14 & 20, and Superman’s Pal Jimmy Olsen (1954) #40, 46, 51, & 57.

Wildstorm Omnibus Mapping for the Tigereyes Most Wanted DC Omnibus 1st Annual Poll

May 10, 2024 by krisis

Most Wanted DC Omnibus - WildStorm Omnibus MappingIt’s time to dive into the WildStorm Universe – perhaps my favorite shared universe in all of comics! 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 omnibuses missing from DC’s WildStorm imprint, including WildCATs, Stormwatch, Gen13, Deathblow, Wetworks, and more!

This post explains potential WildStorm 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.

There are three comic properties where I own every issue from their inception through 2012. One is X-Men, obviously. Another is Wonder Woman, covered earlier this week. The third is WildStorm. I own every floppy comic book ever published by WildStorm and I have them all packaged for binding – basically, I have this entire omnibus mapping already-collected in shortboxes in my garage!

I have to give a special shoutout to two amazing fellow WildStorm fans: WildStorm4Life, who runs the main WildStorm Universe group on Facebook, and Bryan Jose, who runs the Weathering WildStorm reading order blog. WildStorm4Life was instrumental in aiding my collecting every WildStorm issue by sharing his own binding maps with me over a decade ago!

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 for Patrons: Guide to The Authority

March 30, 2023 by krisis

What?! A second new guide today for Patrons of CK? Indeed, it’s true – plus an essay on comics history for everyone. I’m once again breaking ranks from following the release schedule of the original launch books of Image Comics, because today’s Guide to Stormwatch requires a second guide to complete it. That’s right, it’s a guide to what came after the Storm, a comic which fundamentally altered the tone and style of the comics industry and which has been tapped as an potential feature film in the new DC Cinematic Universe. It’s my Guide to The Authority!

Guide to The Authority

Guide to The Authority

If you don’t know your early 2000s comic history, buckle up for a brief crash course on how the comics on your current pull list are undeniably influenced by The Authority.

It all starts with a pair of British creators, Warren Ellis and Bryan Hitch. Both had made moderate names for themselves at Marvel – Ellis on Excalibur and Doom 2099, Hitch on Sensational She-Hulk and Marvel UK titles. Yet, neither had become a breakout star who could sell a book on their name alone.

Ellis took over the flagging WildStorm co-flagship Stormwatch in July 1996. It had just recently acquired an all-new cast and had a virtually non-existent fan-base. While Ellis had enjoyed some freedom working on the fringe of Marvel’s titles, here he truly could write whatever he wanted. [Read more…] about New for Patrons: Guide to The Authority
