Absolute Power: Super Son #1 throws Jonathan Kent into the fire as he faces off against the Trinity of Evil. Jon has taken his share of hits, but this oversized issue brings us a Super Son ready to fight back, possibly redefining his role in the DC Universe. Speculators, pay attention—Superman’s kid has major potential here. Meanwhile, Batman Elmer Fudd Special Noir #1 goes full noir as Elmer Fudd stalks Batman through Gotham in black and white. This special reprint is one of the weirdest Dark Knight stories ever, and we mean that in the best way possible. If you’re into collecting oddball team-ups, this could be a sleeper hit.
Moving on to Batman: The Barbarian #1, Bruce Wayne ditches the gadgets and heads straight into sword-and-sorcery territory. Expect beasts, sorcerers, and cosmic threats in this high-fantasy reimagining of Batman. If you’re a fan of alternate universes, 
this could be a fascinating collectible, especially with Greg Smallwood’s artwork giving it that brutal edge. But if you’re more of a fan of classic team-ups, Batman/Superman: World’s Finest #31 might be your thing. Eclipso is back and threatening to plunge the world into eternal darkness—because why wouldn’t he? Superman and Batman are the ultimate duo, and the stakes have never been higher. As if that wasn’t enough, the Nicola Scott artist spotlight covers are here with Catwoman #68, Wonder Woman #13, and Nightwing #118. These spotlight covers highlight the various costumes and phases of each character, some of which will have you thinking, “Did they really wear that?” But it’s a fun stroll down memory lane that collectors will definitely want to grab for that eye-catching variant value. Titans #15, the DCU will never be the same after the Dark Winged Queen rises to power. A major death is looming, and it’s got huge implications for the Titans. This issue could be a game-changer for both fans and speculators, especially if the rumors of a major character’s demise hold true. On the WildStorm side of things, Jenny Sparks #2 brings us more of Tom King’s fascinating take on the Spirit of the 20th Century, as she navigates post-9/11 trauma and strange, world-saving battles with Captain Atom. Now, if you’re into crossovers that make you do a double-take, Multiversus: Collision Detection #1 is definitely a wild one. Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman find themselves thrown into chaos as they deal with the likes of Bugs Bunny. Yeah, you read that right. This hit video game spilling into comic form is already generating buzz. For speculators, this kind of odd mash-up could go either way, but it’s one to watch. On the more grounded side, Superman #18 has the Man of Steel and Zatanna teaming up to find a mystical map while the rest of Metropolis is in serious trouble. Lex, Lois, and the gang are in the thick of it, and a cliffhanger promises to shake up the Superman titles going forward.

Now, if you’re in the mood for some Marvel action, let’s talk about Dazzler #1. Hard to believe, but Dazzler first made her debut in Uncanny X-Men #130 way back in 1980—44 years ago! Our favorite disco diva returns with a new tour, and she’s bringing along some interesting roadies: Domino, Strong Guy, and Multiple Man. This could be the comeback tour we’ve all been waiting for—if she can avoid the inevitable chaos that seems to follow her. On the opposite end of the tone spectrum, Deadpool #6 kicks off a new arc, and—surprise, surprise—they’re going to kill Deadpool again. Wade Wilson has survived worse, but the fun is seeing just how they’ll do it this time around. Celebrating 50 years of a cult favorite, Deathlok: 50th Anniversary Special #1 takes us back to a world filled with laser blasts, dystopian futures, and a half-man, half-machine hero trying to survive it all. This anniversary issue is perfect for new fans and long-time collectors, and any major milestone like this has key issue potential. Speaking of major events, Spider-Boy Annual #1 brings us part eight of the Infinity Watch storyline, where Spider-Boy is juggling hero duties and just being a kid. It’s chaotic, it’s fun, and if you’re speculating on Spider-Boy’s rise, you’ll want this one in your collection. Next up is Spider-Man Black Suit & Blood #2, where the black suit’s 40th anniversary gets even darker. The creative team is bringing some serious heat with this one, and any Spidey collector worth their salt will want this issue to commemorate the iconic black costume. Meanwhile, Spider-Society #2 is cranking up the action as the Sinister Squadron strikes, leaving our newly formed Spider-team reeling. With new Spiders on the scene, you never know who might become the next big thing—so speculators, keep those eyes peeled. If you like your Marvel titles on the darker side, Spirits of Vengeance #1 reunites Ghost Riders Johnny Blaze, Robbie Reyes, and Danny Ketch. Hellfire, chains, and vengeance galore—what more could you want? For fans of the supernatural, this series is shaping up to be a collector’s dream. But if smashing and destruction are more your style, Incredible Hulk #17 brings us the first part of “SKIN,” as Hulk’s journey into Vegas takes a twisted turn. With Bruce Banner locked away, things are about to get really messy, and collectors will want to snag that Godzilla vs. Hulk variant cover before it’s gone.

For symbiote fans, it’s a triple dose of mayhem this week with Venom War: Deadpool #1, Venom War: Lethal Protectors #1, and Venom War: Venomous #2. Deadpool vs. zombified symbiotes? Yeah, it’s going to be a bloodbath. Meanwhile, Silver Sable is leading a symbiote squad of her own to fight fire with fire in Lethal Protectors, while Venomous #2 brings in Black Widow and a crew of symbiote allies for one heck of a showdown against the zombified horde. If the symbiote saga is your thing, these three issues will likely be big in the ongoing Venomverse. Over in indie territory, The Moon is Following Us #1 from Image Comics is an emotional and magical tale of parents trying to rescue their daughter from an evil force. With its unique premise and heartfelt story, this could be a sleeper hit for indie collectors. And closing out the list is The Tin Can Society #1, also from Image, which mixes tech, murder, and friendship in a heartfelt story about a metal-suited vigilante’s murder and the mystery that follows. The creative team here is top-notch, and it has all the ingredients of an indie breakout. Finally, for all the TMNT fans out there, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Nation #1 kicks off a new ongoing series. Raphael is on a soul-searching journey that inevitably leads to more trouble than he bargained for. With ties to the larger TMNT universe and old enemies making their return, this is a can’t-miss for Turtle collectors.
