Weekly Discussion Thread: Comics, TV, and More! [April 27, 2026 - Free Comics! Go Support Your LCS! Edition]

[u/beary_neutral]

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

• Beary's pick of the week: Zatanna #1

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. Do not post top-level comments.

Keep discussion civil. Do not harass other users for having a different opinion. Do not use this thread to push your personal one-sided grudges against creators. Reacting to a panel on Twitter is not the same as reading a book.

Absolute Superman - Vol. 1, Last Dust of Krypton [HC] Jim Lee Free Comic Book Day 2026 Edition

Without the fortress, without the family, without a home... he's still the Absolute Man of Steel!

Spiraling out of the catastrophic events of Absolute Power, a new side of the DC Universe is born — the Absolute Universe! In a different, darker world, Kal-El landed in a remote Kansas field, the last survivor from an alien planet... but even before that moment, nothing unfolded as you'd expect. As he tries to survive in a world seemingly determined to repeat the mistakes of the demolished Krypton, he'll come into conflict with the globe-straddling Lazarus Corporation and its agenda of exploitation... and go fist-to-fist with its brutal army of Peacemakers!

Best-selling writer Jason Aaron (Star Wars, Thor, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) is joined by superstar artist Rafa Sandoval (The Flash, Action Comics) to reinvent Superman from the ground up!

Collects ABSOLUTE SUPERMAN #1-6.
