UPCOMING RELEASES for 03/19/25
Wave 2 of DC Comics’ ABSOLUTE Universe starts right here with ABSOLUTE FLASH #1 by Jeff Lemire and Nick Robles! It’s the Flash stripped down to his essential core in the start of a very good new ongoing series!
And for a bit of other speedster fun this week, the DC Comics Universe crosses over with SONIC THE HEDGEHOG and all of his pals. Be warned, this one is going to go FAST!! (ugh, I’m so sorry)
But also, one of our most-anticipated new crime series starts this week, Christopher Cantwell & Tyler Crook’s OUT OF ALCATRAZ #1! A gritty escape comic set in real world 1962 with full watercolor art from Tyler Crook (Harrow County)! This may not be on your radar, but it is not to be missed!
Plus more! So much more! SAGA #72 (hooray!)! ABSOLUTE BATMAN #6! ONE WORLD UNDER DOOM #2! GI JOE #5! SUPERMAN THE LAST DAYS OF LEX LUTHOR #2 (for real!!)! EXCEPTIONAL X-MEN #7! THOSE NOT AFRAID #3 (you ARE reading this, right?!?)! BATMAN & ROBIN YEAR ONE #6! AVENGERS #24!
You get the idea! We’ll see you real soon!
*As of right now we do not have a list of releases from Diamond Comic Distributors for next week, so there may be more coming*

ABSOLUTE FLASH #1
JEFF LEMIRE AND NICK ROBLES SPEED INTO THE ABSOLUTE UNIVERSE! Without the mentor...without the family...without the Speed Force, what's left is the Absolute Scarlet Speedster!
OUT OF ALCATRAZ #1
From Christopher Cantwell and Tyler Crook! Convicts Frank Morris and Clarence Anglin have washed ashore in San Francisco after surviving their infamous escape from Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary in June 1962. As a dogged federal manhunt and chance encounters threaten the desperate convicts, everyone involved is about to discover the same bloodstained truth: life on the run is an even more hellish prison than Alcatraz could have ever been. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED by Patrick!
ADVENTURMAN FAMILY TREE #1
As the Connell family reels from the shattering events of Adventureman: Ghost Lights, they'll need to tap into the roots of the Adventureman family tree of heroes to make the world right again, starting with a luchador dynasty and savage savate kick-fighting! By Matt Fraction and the Dodsons!
DC x SONIC THE HEDGEHOG #1
GOTTA. GO. FLASH-FAST. It's a crossover event unlike any other! The monstrous Darkseid crosses dimensions to invade the world of Sonic the Hedgehog, seeking the ultimate power. Sonic and his friends have faced everything from mad scientists to ancient spirits, but the forces of Apokolips may be too much for them. Thankfully, the full heroic might of the Justice League arrives to back them up! Don't miss part one of this unique crossover event!
WHO ARE THE POWER PALS? #1
After being fired from their studio security jobs and dropped by their agent, washed-up actors Derek and Alex decide to don their old costumes, and thrust themselves back into the public eye. When a video of the duo defending tourists goes viral, the attention inspires them to fight more crime. It does not go well.
