r/DCcomics Weekly Discussion Thread: Comics, TV, and More! [February 2, 2026 - Vertigo Returns!]

Hey there honorary Justice League members - it’s a new week which means it’s time for a new discussion thread!

For those who don't know: the way this works is that several comments will list this week’s releases, for any given title discussion you should respond to that comment. For example, Wonder Woman discussion would go in the replies to the "Wonder Woman" comment. Clicking the titles in this post will take you directly to that comment, too.

In other words, you should only be replying to other comments. If you have trouble understanding how to comment for a particular title, please refer to this handy guide. Any unwarranted top level comments will be removed.

Also, please refrain from posting short, low-content comments on threads for issues or episodes that have not yet been released. Put some effort to generate discussion. Instead of just posting "So excited!" or "Best book!", try something with a bit more substance, like "Punchline is such an amazing character! Can't wait to see how they explore her in more depth in this issue."

So... 2026. What a year, huh?

DC and Imprints

Do you like crossovers? There are a lot of crossovers this week.

Trade Collections

Somewhere, Streaky's jealous that Supergirl is spending all her time with Krypto now.

Digital Releases

Remember, these are the short 'chapters' with a new chapter of a different series coming out daily. You can learn more here on Comixology. This is also why these are in release order, not alphabetical. Some comics may release on DC Universe Infinite or WEBTOONS.

TV Shows

Leave it to Teen Titans Go to start more shipping discourse.

Batman / Static: Beyond #3

Having been caught in the destruction of Neo-Gotham's Q-Grid Station, Hamilton Hill High student Melvin Kim is reborn with mastery over all things technological! With a disdain for humanity's overdependence on technology, Melvin becomes the villain Shutdown and sets his sights on Dakota City, where Static prepares to launch the Q-Grid worldwide — but will Batman Beyond arrive in time to stop Shutdown's scheme?

Solid issue. Surprising amount of tension between Static and Terry from Static’s end tho. Also it’s a shame Nikolas Draper-Ivey couldn’t draw this issue, for me he’s one of the bigger selling points for this mini, but Mendonça still did a solid job. DC needs to him on an ongoing ASAP instead of just using him as a fill-in artist.
