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!

New Comic Day – 9th July 2025

Posted on July 10, 2025 by White Elorda

Good Morning Nerdy Birdies!

How are you today? How has your week been going so far?

I’m still exhausted from traveling over the weekend, but I’m doing pretty well otherwise. I’m really excited to go and see the new Superman film this weekend! Is anyone else going to see it?

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

Let’s dive right into it – shall we?

Single Issues

Absolute Superman. Issue #9. Cover A.

Kal is now reluctantly working with the Omega Men; with so many people trying to influence him – what will he decide to do?

Can Kal keep helping people, or does his growing anger threaten to overtake that desire?

Batman & Robin. Issue #23. Cover A.

We learn the secret of Memento’s origins, as well as what he wants with Robin. Batman has found his son, but can be still save him?

Trinity: Daughter of Wonder Woman. Issue #2.

Finally, a depiction of Jason Todd’s Robin who isn’t just angry, and it came from Tom King.

This series has been really cute so far, and I love the Jon Kent and Damian Wayne corgis – they are completely adorable.

Variant Covers

Absolute Superman. Issue #9. Variant Cover by Leirix.

This cover is just gorgeous.

Batman: Gotham by Gaslight – A League for Justice #1

Batman: Gotham by Gaslight – A League for Justice. Issue #1. Variant Cover by Seba Fiumara.

The “Gotham by Gaslight” steampunk series continues with the formation of the Justice League. The gang is in Smallville to recruit the Kryptonian. What are Harley Quinn and the other villains trying to steal for Lex Luthor?

I really enjoy this Elseworlds series, and I am glad that it is continuing.

Graphic Novels

Batman & Robin: Memento.

This collects together Batman & Robin Issues 14-19. The beginning of the Memento case, leading up to Damian’s shocking decision about this future.

This new villain to the Batman Mythos has been really enjoyable – though the story isn’t finished yet, at least the beginning is easier to read all in one place.

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 – 18th June 2025

Posted on June 19, 2025 by White Elorda

Good Morning Nerdy Birdies!

How are you today? I hope that this week has been treating you well. Do you have anything fun going on this weekend?

I’m hoping to enjoy a couple of lazy days this weekend. Other than that I am doing pretty well.

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

Let’s get into it – shall we?

Single Issues

Absolute Flash. Issue #4. Cover A.

Wally and Grodd are on the run together – and the find shelter at a local youth mission. Might Wally have made an ally here? Also – what other experiments were going on? What has been unleashed?

Really enjoying this run so far – it’s refreshing to see a teenage main character act and think like a teen.

Nightwing. Issue #127. Cover A.

There’s something freaky going on in Bludhaven – and it’s taking over the Titans Tower. Nightwing is torn between a family obligation and saving the person he loves most.

Titans. Issue #24. Cover A.

Terra’s back! That means bad news for the Titans as the master maniupulator turns one of their own against them. Will Beast Boy be able to put his feelings aside and do what needs to be done?

Will Roy and Donna ever be able to have that talk?

Variant Covers

Batman & Robin: Year One. Issue #8. Variant Cover by Evan “Doc” Shaner.

Are the Dynamic Duo finally learning to work together? It is coming together too late? Bruce is beginning to understand his misgivings about being a father, and Clayface is closing in on the Batman.

I adore this cover so much!

Detective Comics. Issue #1098. Variant Cover by Stephen Byrne.

Batman and the Penguin working together? If it means solving the mystery of Elixir, then I guess so. Don’t forget to add Harvey Bullock to the mix.

It starts out as a rescue mission – but how will it end.

I think this is the only Pride cover that I picked up this month and it is definitely a good one!

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!

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!

New Comic Day – 16th April 2025

Posted on April 17, 2025 by White Elorda

Good Morning Nerdy Birdies!

How are you today? How have things been going? Have you gotten upto anything fun lately?

Today’s post is my weekly round-up of all the new releases I picked up at my local comic shop.

Let’s dive right in, shall we?

Single Issues

Detective Comics. Issue #1096. Cover A.

Asema’s reign of terror over Gotham’s troubled youth comes to an end, and their identity is revealed.

I really liked Bruce’s arc in this storyline, even if his romantic interest is a controversial choice. I also appreciate the appearance of the whole Bat-Family in this issue.

Absolute Flash. Issue #2. Cover A.

We see more of Wally coming to understand his powers as the Rogues attempt to capture him.

The art style in this comic is amazing, and the colour work compliments it beautifully.

Nightwing. Issue #125. Cover A.

A new threat is stalking the Bludhaven Police Force, punishing those who violate “the law.”

I think this is a weird swerve away from the story that was already being established, but we’ll see where it goes.

Titans. Issue #22. Cover A.

Deathstroke is back, and he has put together a whole new death squad. He doesn’t seem to be the one calling the shots this time – how long will Slade co-operate?

How will the Titans handle the return of one of their deadliest enemies?

I feel like we’re moving through stories too fast in this series. I know theres an overarching plot in the background, but it still feels rushed to me.

Variant Covers

Nightwing. Issue #125. Variant Cover by Jorge Fornes.

Nightwing. Issue #125. 1:25 Variant Cover by Gleb Melkinov.

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 – 19th February 2025

Posted on February 20, 2025 by White Elorda

Good Morning Nerdy Birdies!

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

My week has been pretty good. I attended Katsucon last week, which was a blast – thanks to some of my amazing friends. I’m getting settled back in at home now, and it’s been pretty relaxing.

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

Let’s get right into it – shall we?

Single Issues

Batman & Robin: Year One. Issue #5. Cover A.

Bruce and Dick continue to be at odds as a gang war is being orchestrated in Gotham’s underworld.

Batman has his first face-off with Clayface, and Robin goes off on his own – can the dynamic duo learn to work as a team, before it’s too late?

Nightwing. Issue #123. Cover A.

Nightwing continues to try and come to the heart of the conspiracy working in Bludhaven. Can he convince the gangs to trust him enough to stop a war?

Miranda’s job as Mayor is under threat – what kind of deal with the devil will she make? And how will that impact Nightwing as the story progresses?

This storyline is starting to get intriguing – not that it hasn’t been from the start. I hope that we get more circus clues in the next issue, just to keep that theme going.

Titans. Issue #20. Cover A.

Raven’s powers continue to be on the fritz, and they are affecting the other Titans.

Deathstroke’s plan is starting to come together, and I’m looking forward to seeing where it will go, and how the Titans will handle it under Donna’s leadership.

Variant Covers

Nightwing. Issue #123. Variant Cover by Dan Panosian.

Nightwing. Issue #123. Variant Cover by Gleb Melnikov.

Nightwing. Issue #123. Variant Cover (Hush) by Giuseppe Camuncoli & Alex Sinclair.

This Hush variant cover is so cool.

Graphic Novels

Red Hood: The Hill.

I’m giving this story another chance now that I can read it all in one go. I don’t think my opinion on it is going to change too much, but I’m willing to try.

As a Red Hood fan, I really just want to see him get decent storylines again, that actually focus on him, and don’t just use his name because it makes money.

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 – 27th November 2024

Posted on November 28, 2024 by White Elorda

Good Morning Nerdy Birdies!

Happy Thanksgiving, if you celebrate it!

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

My week is going pretty well, and I am doing OK. I’m looking forward to going on a little adventure with my partner on Saturday, and seeing my family today.

Today’s post is my weekly round up of the new DC Comics releases that I picked up from my local comic book store last night.

Let’s dive right in, shall we?

Batmam: The Long Halloween – The Last Halloween #3.

Batman: The Long Halloween – The Last Halloween. Issue #3. Variant Cover by Arthur Adams & Peter Steigerwald.

The hunt for the Dents continues as well as the search for Jim Gordon’s kidnapped son. The new Holiday killers attempt to claim another victim – the Riddler! What could Batman and Robin learn from Edward Nygma?

Batman: Detective Comics. Issue #1091. Cover A.

Young criminals are being killed in Gotham City – and it’s up to Batman to put a stop to it. All while Bruce Wayne decides whether to accept an offer that could make him younger – will he take it?

Justice League Unlimited. Issue #1. Cover A.

The Justice League is back and better than ever! With so many heroes all working together, the world couldn’t be a safer place, right? Is someone within their ranks already planning to betray tham?

I also really enjoyed seeing the Prelude for Hush 2 that was in the back of this issue. I really hope to see Hush go up against the entire Bat-Family.

Nightwing. Issue #120. Cover A.

Things are heating up in Bludhaven! Can Dick Grayson stop the new threat to his city while also preventing a new gang war? Who is mysterious ringmaster working things behind the scenes?

Dexter Soy’s artwork continues to be amazing in this latest issue – I can only hope for a team up with Red Hood soon!

Nightwing. Issue #120. Variant Cover by Dan Panosian.

Nightwing. Issue #120. Variant Cover by Francesco Francavilla.

Green Arrow. Issue #18. Foil Variant Cover by Guillem March.

I had to add this cover to my collection, because it’s gorgeous.

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 November 2024

Posted on November 21, 2024 by White Elorda

Good Morning Nerdy Birdies!

How are you today? How has the week been treating you? Do you have anything planned for the upcoming weekend?

I am doing well. I had some car troubles earlier in the week, which was a little bit stressful, but it’s resolved now. I’m looking forward to visiting a museum this 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?

Batman & Robin: Year One. Issue #2. Cover A.

The mysterious General continues to make his move on Gotham City. Bruce has social services breathing down his neck, waiting for him to fail to take care of Dick.

I’m really enjoying the dynamic developing between Bruce and Dick, where they don’t see eye-to-eye, and Dick not having Bruce’s full trust yet. It’s also cool to see the little moments of genuine care that Bruce allows to slip through the mask.

Batman & Robin: Year One #1 – Noir Edition.

Batman & Robin: Year One. Issue #1. Noir Edition.

Another Noir edition for my collection. Similar to Absolute Batman from last week, this is just a reprint of issue #1, just all in black and white. This art style also suits the noir really well.

Titans. Issue #17. Cover A.

The Clock King wants to use the memories of the Titans to figure out who they are and how to defeat them for good. Will new leader, Donna Troy, be able to rally the team to stop him?

Titans. Issue #17. Variant Cover by Rahzzah.

I love Roy’s expression on this variant cover, and Beast Boy as the little owl.

Dark Knights of Steel: Allwinter. Issue #5. Cover A.

The truth of the Allwinter has been revealed – what part did Slade have to play?

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!

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

Let’s jump right into it – shall we?

Batman & Robin: Year One. Issue #1. Cover A.

It’s the public debut of the dynamic duo in this new comic run! How will Gotham City react to Batman’s young new partner?

I’m curious to see where this run will go. The first issue was a good setup, and establishes the dynamic between Bruce and Dick really well.

Dark Knights of Steel: Allwinter. Issue #4. Cover A.

Nightwing. Issue #118. Cover A.

The last issue of Tom Taylor and Bruno Redondo’s run of Nightwing!

Nightwing finally faces off against Heartless man-to-man! How will he defeat his latest villain, who is determined to destroy him as both Nightwing and Dick Grayson?

I am looking forward to seeing where Dan Watters and Dexter Soy take this story.

Nightwing. Issue #118. Variant Cover by Bruno Redondo.

You can be sure is Jamal Campbell puts out a variant cover for Nightwing, then I will be picking it up!

Arsenal is back with the Titans! What changes will the team go through in the aftermath of Absolute Power?
