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.

This 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.
