New Comic Day – 18th February 2026

Posted on February 19, 2026 by White Elorda

Good Morning Nerdy Birdies!

I hope that this post finds you well.

How have you been doing? How is your week going? Any plans for the weekend?

I’m still recovering from the convention that I went to last weekend, it really wore me out! I do love to relax with some new comics.

With that being said, today’s post is my weekly round up of new comic releases that I picked up from my local comic book shop this week.

Remember to support your local comic book stores.

Let’s get right into it – shall we?

Single Issues

Absolute Batman. Issue #17. Cover A.

Absolute Poison Ivy has appeared and she is just as horrifying as everything that has come before her. It’s time for the Seventh Kingdom story to begin.

We get some of Ivy’s early life and background as Batman makes his way inside the Heart of Gotham, a building transformed into a garden of terrors by Ivy’s will.

But there are also other secrets, other truths lurking in the shadows of Bruce’s life – what will he do when they step into the light.

Nightwing. Issue #135. Cover A.

The Cirque du Sin arc is over, and Bludhaven will never be the same.

Can Nightwing save the children of the city from the monster that has haunted their dreams? Will he remain stuck in the realm of the Zanni forever? Will another hero make the ultimate sacrifice to allow everyone to escape.

The Circus is gone, but Bludhaven remains. How will the city move forward from the devastation, and how will Nightwing?

Titans. Issue #32. Cover A.

The Titans face threats on multiple fronts – Gemworld and the surface of the Earth.

Raven has a plan to handle Terra – a compassionate approach. Will her hope betray her? Will Terra be able to break the cycle of pain that has trapped her for so long?

Donna Troy and Arsenal finish their face off against Grail, and find themselves getting help from an unlikely source. Roy is never going to hear the end of it.

Raven is able to use her powers to bring the Titans together, but will it be for the last time?

And that is it for this week’s haul! I hope that you enjoyed it! As always, let me know your thoughts in the comments as well as any recommendations for stuff you think I should read!

New Comic Day – 4th February 2026

Posted on February 5, 2026 by White Elorda

Good Morning Nerdy Birdies!

I hope that this post finds you well!

How are you today? Has the week been treating you well? Do you have any fun plans for the weekend?

I am doing very well at the moment – I am looking forward to my first convention of the year coming up next week. I’ll get to see some dear friends, so I am quite excited.

Today’s post is my weekly round-up of new comic books releases that I picked up from my local shop on the day of release.

Remember to support your local comic book stores.

Let’s get right into the haul – shall we?

Single Issues

Absolute Superman. Issue #16. Cover A.

It’s Superman vs Hawkman as the winged avenger tries to teach the “rookie” a thing or two.

Will Clark listen to the veteran warrior? Or is he too distracted by the screaming?

I don’t really care for the art style in this issue. I’m also not a huge fan of Absolute Hawkman’s character, not when he’s being such a hypocrite.

We’ll see how things play out though.

Batman. Issue #6. Cover A.

It’s been a long night for Batman – between Damian revealing his familial connection to Robin, fighting Hugo Strange’ monster men, whatever is going on with the mob, as well as doing everything else he can to keep the streets of Gotham safe.

When Tim comes to him with a important announcement – one that will shake the family to it’s core – how will Bruce take it?

Will Damian ever be able to forgive his brother for abandoning the Robin mantle?

Batman/Static Beyond. Issue #3. Cover A.

The heroes attempt to re-group in the wake of Shutdown’s attack.

Everybody’s powers are on the fritz and no-one knows how to fix it – even a shocking plan from Terry doesn’t get Virgil back to his full strength.

When Shutdown sets his sights on Dakota City – will the heroes be able to come together to stop him?

KnightFight. Issue #4. Cover A.

The final issue of KnightFight is here, and Bruce’s game with the Heart of Apokolips is over.

Bruce has experienced something that he never thought he would – peace. A peace brought about by his own son. Will he fight to make this future a reality?

What is the Heart of Apokolips trying to teach him? What is the point of this little game?

This was such a good run – I really enjoyed it.

Variant Covers

Batman. Issue #6. Valentine’s Day Variant Cover by Chrissie Zullo-Uminga

KnightFight. Issue #4. Variant Cover by Yasmin Putri.

Graphic Novels

Batman: White Knight. DC Compact Edition.

This is my favourite Black Label universe, and I really hope that we get the rest of them in DC Compact editions.

Absolute Batman. Volume 2: Abomination. Hardcover Edition.

And that is it for this week’s haul! I hope that you enjoyed it! As always, let me know your thoughts in the comments as well as any recommendations for stuff you think I should read!

New Comic Day- 7th January 2026

Posted on January 8, 2026 by White Elorda

Good Morning Nerdy Birdies!

I hope that this post finds you well.

How are you? How did your holidays go? Do you have anything fun happening in this new year? Happy New Year by the way.

I am going alright at the moment. still recovering from the holiday season, and figuring out my goals for 2026.

Today’s post is my weekly round-up of new comic releases that I picked up yesterday from my local shop.

Remember to support your local comic book stores.

Let’s get right into it – shall we?

Single Issues

Absolute Batman: Ark-M. One-Shot. Cover A.

We learn the bloody history of Arkham Asylum, and the man who founded it, in the Absolute Universe – was Amadeus Arkham doomed to unleash madness from the start?

We also learn a little bit more about the enigmatic Jack Grimm, and get a peek at who will be coming for the Batman next.

Absolute Superman. Issue #15. Cover A.

It’s the aftermath of the Battle of Kansas, and Kal, now living as Clark Kent on the Kent Farm, is trying to help as many people in the world as he can. Can he silence the un-ending screams?

What does the appearance of Hawkman mean for the Superman? What does Brainiac want with Lex Luthor?

Batman. Issue #5. Cover A.

A bounty has been placed on the good doctor’s head – so it’s up to Brucie Wayne to keep her safe. It certainly makes for an interesting date night.

It seems he might also have some explaining to do, after a slip of the tongue from his Robin.

KnightFight. Issue #3. Cover A.

Bruce refuses to play along with the Heart’s games anymore, and will not fight his children. How will the Heart of Apokolips punish him for his insolence?

I feel like Tim really got the short end of the stick with this series, only featuring in half an issue; and poor Jason has been left all alone.

Variant Covers

Absolute Superman. Issue #15. Variant Cover by Carmine di Giandomenico.

Batman. Issue #5. Sweater Weather Variant Cover by Mitch Gerads.

And that is it for this week’s haul! I hope that you enjoyed it! As always, let me know your thoughts in the comments as well as any recommendations for stuff you think I should read!

New Comic Day: 10th December 2025

Posted on December 11, 2025 by White Elorda

Good Morning Nerdy Birdies!

How are you? How has your week been going? Are you preparing for the holidays? Do you have anything planned for the weekend?

I hope that this post finds you well.

I’m doing well. The holidays have me a little stressed out, but that’s pretty typical for me.

Today’s post is my weekly round-up of new comic releases that I picked up from my local shop.

Support your local comic book store.

Let’s get right into it – shall we?

Single Issues

Absolute Batman. Issue #15. Cover A.

The Joker has finally been revealed in all of his repulsive glory.

Pennyworth explains his backstory, revealed in evolving layers to Batman – who just sees Joker as another enemy. Will he become just another prey animal for the man who never laughs?

Batman & Robin. Issue #28. Cover A.

The Quiet Man’s motive is divulged, as well as a horrifying revelation about Arnold Wesker.

Can Batman stop the war that’s coming?

Batman: Gotham by Gaslight – A League for Justice #6

Batman: Gotham by Gaslight – A League for Justice. Issue #6. Cover A.

The League for Justice heads into the Phantom Zone. Will they be ab le to stop Lex Luthor’s plan before the evil being contained is unleashed on the unsuspecting Earth?

This is the last issue – and it has some pacing issues, but I like the way that it sets up multiple future storylines.

All in all, I really enjoyed this run though. A good addition to the Gotham by Gaslight series.

And that is it for this week’s haul! I hope that you enjoyed it! As always, let me know your thoughts in the comments as well as any recommendations for stuff you think I should read!

New Comic Day – 29th October 2025

Posted on October 30, 2025 by White Elorda

Good Morning Nerdy Birdies!

How are you today? How has your week been going? I hope that this post finds you well.

I’m doing well – I’m enjoying the rain today, despite the chill it brings with it.

Today’s post is my weekly round up of new comic releases that I picked up from my local store.

Let’s get right into it – shall we?

Single Issues

Absolute Batman 2025 Annual. One Shot. Cover A.

Absolute Batman takes on some white nationalists in this one-shot annual issue. We get to see a little bit more of Bruce’s relationship with his father, and we learn more insight into how this Absolute Batman’s mind works.

The art style of both stories contained in here is very cool. It’s very bold and dynamic.

Batman & Robin: Year One. Issue #12. Cover A.

In the final issue of this run, we see the Dynamic Duo earn that nickname as they take on Two-Face and Clayface.

I really have enjoyed the way that this story has built up the relationship between both Batman and Robin, as well as Bruce and Dick. It’s a kind of wholesome that we don’t see much in Batman stories anymore.

Batman: The Long Halloween – The Last Halloween #10.

Batman: The Long Halloween – The Last Halloween. Issue #10. Cover A.

Another final issue; and another final issue that pits Batman and Robin against Two-Face.

The ‘freaks’ of Gotham face of against the ‘family’ of Gotham, made up of the remnants of the Falcone Crime Family. Can Batman stop the war before it starts, before it spills out over all of Gotham? Can he finally put a stop to the Holiday killer?

Another run that I really enjoyed – I just need to go back and read it as a whole, as there were some gaps in the publication, and I tend to forget little details.

Return to Sleepy Hollow. Issue #1. Cover A.

Set several years after the Tim Burton film Sleepy Hollow, this spooky tale follows a new set of murders in the small hamlet of Sleepy Hollow.

This was a perfect Halloween read and I am looking forward to seeing where it goes!

And that is it for this week’s haul! I hope that you enjoyed it! As always, let me know your thoughts in the comments as well as any recommendations for stuff you think I should read!

New Comic Day – 8th October 2025

Posted on October 9, 2025October 9, 2025 by White Elorda

Good Morning Nerdy Birdies!

How are you today? How has your week been going? Are you looking forward to the weekend? Has life been treating you well?

I’m doing relatively OK. I’m a little bit off thanks to the change in the seasons, but I am sure that once the weather evens out, I will feel much better.

Today’s post is my weekly roundup of new comic releases that I picked up from my local shop yesterday.

Let’s get right into it – shall we?

Single Issues

Absolute Batman. Issue #13. Cover A.

Absolute Catwoman has arrived, and she is just as fearsome as her Batman counterpart.

I really like the way that the relationship between Bruce and Selina has been established in this universe.

Finally, it seems as though Bruce is ready to take on Bane. How will Harley Quinn factor in to things going forward?

Batman & Robin. Issue #26. Cover A.

The true target of the Quiet Man’s killings has been revealed. Will he go through Batman, Robin, Penguin, and Two-Face all to get to his man?

I do like that we have been exploring new villains in this run, instead of just defaulting to the same things again and again.

Batman: Gotham by Gaslight – A League for Justice #4.

Batman: Gotham by Gaslight – A League for Justice. Issue #4. Cover A.

The League for Justice comes together to face off with General Zod.

What is Lex Luthor planning, and how does it involve Adam Strange?

Variant Covers

Batman: The Long Halloween – The Last Halloween #9.

Batman: The Long Halloween – The Last Halloween. Issue #9. Variant Cover by Juanjo Guarnido.

DC KO. Issue #1. Variant Cover by Dan Mora.

DC KO kicks off with a bang.

Earth’s heroes have only 7 days to put together the plan that will stop Darkseid’s return and subsequent path of destruction.

I’ll probably talk about this a little bit in a separate post, but I feel like we’re re-using a plot point way too soon after a previous storyline – other than that, I am looking forward to seeing how the writers handle making all of these heroes fight each other.

I’m also really looking forward to the crossover with the Absolute universe.

And that is it for this week’s haul! I hope that you enjoyed it! As always, let me know your thoughts in the comments as well as any recommendations for stuff you think I should read!

New Comic Day – 20th August 2025

Posted on August 21, 2025 by White Elorda

Good Morning Nerdy Birdies!

How are you today? How has your week been going? Do you have anything fun planned for the weekend?

I apologise for missing last week’s post – I was dealing with a family situation that kept me from really having time to post, or even pick up my comics.

I’m doing OK though.

Today’s post is my weekly round-up of new releases that I picked up from my local comic book store.

Let’s get right into it – shall we?

Single Issues

Absolute Batman. Issue #11. Cover A.

We learn the story behind Bane, and how he came to be the utter monster that he is in this universe. We also get a small glimpse into Absolute Joker, and the role he is going to play in the wider story.

Will Bruce allow himself to be broken? To become something greater in the aftermath?

Batman & Robin: Year One. Issue #10. Cover A.

Two-Face and Clayface have teamed up and put their plan into action!

Just as Batman and Robin are starting to work together – what nefarious plan will pull them apart?

I’m definitely enjoying this run, and watching the bond build between Bruce and Dick, actually seeing some give and take from both sides.

Nightwing. Issue #129. Cover A.

The torment of Nite-wing, and the takeover of Titans Tower are finally at a close. A new hero emerges from the aftermath – will he prove to be an ally to Nightwing, or another obstacle that Dick ends up having to juggle.

This issue is full of a lot of cute moments, including some find memories between Dick and Alfred.

Titans. Issue #26. Cover A.

Cyborg and Beast Boy on a vacation together? What could go wrong?

Throw in a couple of missing members of the Doom Patrol and I’m sure it will be a lot.

I still think this run is speeding through storylines too quickly, but I’ll wait and see if they’re building to something in the future.

Variant Covers

Absolute Flash. Issue #6. Variant Cover by David Talaski.

It’s all about the Rogues in this issue, we learn how the group was brought together, and how they got their updated powers.

Detective Comics. Issue #1100. Variant Cover by Bruno Redondo.

This landmark issues features a collection of short stories of the Dark Knight at his very best. Ace the Bat-Hound even makes an adorable appearance.

With all of the dark Batman stories going around, it’s lovely to see some of the positive sides to Bruce, and the things that really make him a hero.

Nightwing. Issue #129. Variant Cover by Jorge Fornes.

Couldn’t resist this variant cover, I just love the graffiti style are and the sign to Bludhaven.

Graphic Novels

Absolute Superman. Volume 1: Last Dust of Krypton.

Collects issue 1-6 of Absolute Superman.

And that is it for this week’s haul! I hope that you enjoyed it! As always, let me know your thoughts in the comments as well as any recommendations for stuff you think I should read!

Good Morning Nerdy Birdies!

How are you today? How has your week been going? Do you have anything fun planned for the weekend?

Let’s get right into it – shall we?

Single Issues

Absolute Superman. Issue #10. Cover A.

The Man of Steel finally comes face to face with the head of the Lazarus Corporation, as well as the Head of the Demon – Ra’s al Ghul. Will Kal-El become the Son of the Demon, and let his anger rule him, or will he resist?

Graphic Novels

Red Hood: Outlaws. Volume 4.

Absolute Batman. Volume 1: The Zoo.

Batman/Superman: World’s Finest. Volume 7: Total Eclipso.

Justice League Unlimited. Volume 1: Into the Inferno.

New Comic Day – 11th June 2025

Posted on June 12, 2025 by White Elorda

Good Morning Nerdy Birdies!

How are you? How has your day been going? Do you have anything planned for the weekend?

Today’s post is my weekly round up of new releases that I picked up from my local comic book store. This week’s haul is a little bit more robust than last week’s.

Let’s dive right into it – shall we?

Single Issues

Batman & Robin. Issue #22. Cover A.

Memento has Robin held captive; so Batman will have to turn to the world of magic and the eldritch to find his son.

It’s so good to hear Etrigan’s rhyming verse again, though I am a little confused by Jason Blood’s design.

DC vs Vampires: World War V. Issue #10. Cover A.

Robin & Batman: Jason Todd. Issue #1. Cover A.

A new story and sequel to Robin & Batman. So far I’m disappointed that this is just another “dangerous, reackless & angry Robin” story for Jason. I’m genuinely tired of that narrative for him, especially when he wasn’t like that as Robin.

It’s only a 3 part series though, so maybe something different will happen. We can only hope right?

Variant Covers

Absolute Batman. Issue #9. Variant Cover by Tirso.

Absolute Bane is here and he is a monster. I am relieved that is intelligent though, Bane stories are always so much better when he’s more than just a brute.

I’m curious to see how Venom works in the Absolute Universe, and how Bruce will handle this new foe.

Trinity: Daughter of Wonder Woman. Issue #1. Variant Cover by Dan Mora.

And that is it for this week’s haul! I hope that you enjoyed it! As always, let me know your thoughts in the comments as well as any recommendations for stuff you think I should read!

New Comic Day – 23rd April 2025

Posted on April 24, 2025 by White Elorda

Good Morning Nerdy Birdies!

How are you doing today? How has your week been going so far? Do you have anything fun planned for the weekend?

Today’s post is my weekly round-up of new releases that I picked up from my local comic book store.

Let’s dive right into it – shall we?

Single Issues

Batman. Issue #159. Cover A.

The Hush Sequel continues and Red Hood makes his appearance! Is Jason working with Bruce’s former best friend – and what will he do to the Joker?

I guess we’ll find out as the story continues.

As a side note – this is more Jason Todd character whiplash – I might make a separate post going over my thoughts on it – so stay tuned!

Justice League Unlimited. Issue #6. Cover A.

We are Yesterday continues as Gorilla Grodd explains his plans, as well as the founding of Inferno – using a group of supervillains from the past. He has Martian Manhunter’s powers – will the League be able to stop them?

Manga

Batman: Justice Buster. Volume #4.

The final volume in this manga mini-series. Batman and Robin finally become a dynamic duo as Bruce faces Joe Chill.

I’ve really enjoyed this series, and definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to read a Batman story in a different format. We’ll see if it gets a sequel.

Omnibus

Nightwing: Rebirth Omnibus.

Collects Nightwing: Rebirth #1 and Nightwing #1-43.

Variant Covers

Absolute Batman. Issue #1. Variant Cover by Dan Mora.

Absolute Superman. Issue #1. Variant Cover by Dan Mora. Foil Edition.

I couldn’t resist the foil edition of this cover. It is so pretty.

And that is it for this week’s haul! I hope that you enjoyed it! As always, let me know your thoughts in the comments as well as any recommendations for stuff you think I should read!
