New Comics & Collected Editions Releases: DC Comics – May 7 2025

by

Birds of Prey (2023) #21, a DC Comics May 7 2025 new releaseNext week is the 19th new comic book day of 2025! This post covers DC Comics May 7 2025 new releases. Missed this week’s releases? Check out last week’s post covering DC Comics April 30 2025 new releases.

This week in DC Comics: Things get explosive for Birds of Prey, Absolute Braniac, New 52 omnis for Suicide Squad & Nightwing, Atom Project & Black Canary deliver their finales, Zdarsky’s final Batman collection, compact Kingdom Come, and more!

The Krisis Pick of the Week: Despite my heart beating faster just from thinking of reading Absolute Superman (2024) #7, this week I have to go with Birds of Prey (2023) #21 from Kelly Thompson, Sami Basri, Adriano Lucas, and Clayton Cowles! The script for issue #20 was nearly as good as the instant-classic script for #1, and the cliffhanger has had me wanting a follow-up all month long!

This post includes every comic out from DC Comics May 7 2025, plus collected editions in omnibus, hardcover, paperback, and digest-sized formats.

A word of warning – despite overall loving DC’s output right now, this is probably my least-favorite release week slate from DC in each month. Buckle up for some ruthless reviews.

This isn’t the typical comic releases post you can find on other sites. Why? I explain each collection and review every in-continuity series with a new issue out this week. Plus, for most new releases, I’ll point you to a personally-curated guide within the Crushing Comics Guide to DC Comics to find out how to collect that title in full!

There’s no other website on the internet that can claim that.

And now, onto DC Comics May 7 2025 new releases! [Read more…] about New Comics & Collected Editions Releases: DC Comics – May 7 2025

New Comics & Collected Editions Releases: Marvel Comics – May 7 2025

Fantastic Four Fanfare (2025) #3, a Marvel Comics May 7 2025 new releaseNext week is the 19th new comic book day of 2025! This post covers Marvel Comics May 7 2025 new releases. Missed this week’s releases? Check out last week’s post covering Marvel Comics April 30 2025 new releases.

This week in Marvel Comics: a Fantastic anthology, all-new revelations for Venom, an Annihilation reprint, the disoriented Spider-Man, Psylocke & The X-Women, digital Jeff in print, the best Deadpool Epic, Sam Wilson ends, a new Star Wars, and more!

The Krisis Pick of the Week: This is an easy pick – Alan Davis writing or drawing anything is an instant appointment for me, so him being the launch creator for the new anthology series Fantastic Four Fanfare (2025) #1 means it’s immediately my pick of the week! However, I’m also interested to see how things develop in All-New Venom (2024) #6.

This post includes every comic out from Marvel Comics May 7 2025, plus collected editions in omnibus, hardcover, paperback, and digest-sized formats.
