UPCOMING RELEASES for 12/10/25

This is a powerhouse week of mainstay comics! Sure, there are New #1's such as THE DARKNESS (2025), DC K.O. WONDER VS LOBO #1, and the holiday/horror-themed SHIVER SUSPENSE STORIES #1, but the big draw for this week are the comics we just keep coming back for, ABSOLUTE BATMAN #15 (ABSOLUTE JOKER!!!), ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN #23 (THE PENULTIMATE ISSUE!), and TRANSFORMERS #27 (MEGATRON STRIKES BACK! )! These are THE titles of 2025 and we get them all in one week!
These, and so much more! Thanks, December!

NEW BOOKS OF NOTE
----------

ABSOLUTE BATMAN #15
Alfred reveals to Bruce the story of the man he’s been chasing for years. Enter: Joker! Scott Snyder and Jock reunite for an epic tale in the Absolute Universe!


ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN #23
You think we're going to tell you what happens in the penultimate issue of ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN? That would be spoilers galore! Just know it's building to a finale you won't want to miss!


TRANSFORMERS #27
MEGATRON STRIKES BACK! The Decepticons make their move to rescue one of their most powerful members from the Autobots.


DARKNESS #1
Mafia Hitman Jackie Estacado was both blessed and cursed on his 21st birthday when he became the bearer of The Darkness, an elemental force that allows those who wield it access to an otherworldly dimension and control over the demons who dwell there. Forces in the world rise up to face Jackie and the evil his gift represents. There is one small problem in this story...evil is good.


DC K.O. WONDER VS LOBO #1
DC K.O. ALL FIGHT MONTH: ROUND 3 OF 8! Witness the ultimate smackdown as two heavy hitters fight for the crown!


SHIVER SUSPENSE STORIES #1
In this giant-sized, 56-page tome of gruesomely gift-wrapped delights: We’re tying perpetual naught-listers David M. Booher (Canto), Melissa Flores (Biker Mice from Mars), George Northy (Yuletide), and Ben H. Winters (Benjamin) to the dried-out Christmas tree in the family parlor . . . and gathering ‘round as artistic Tormentors-in-training Sami Kivelä (Abbott), Dan McDaid (Shazam!), and more surprise guests throw a few lit matches their way to get this old-fashioned solstice sacrifice started in style!
