New Comics & Collected Editions Releases: DC Comics – February 12 2025

Green Lantern Corps (2025) #1, a DC Comics February 12 2025 new releaseNext week is the 7th new comic book day of 2025! This post covers DC Comics February 12 2025 new releases. Missed this week’s releases? Check out last week’s post covering DC Comics February 5 2025 new releases.

This week in DC Comics: Lantern Corps reassembled, the complete Forever Evil in omni, Absolute Batman vs. Black Mask, Finest Doom Patrol, more creepy Dark Patterns for Batman, Deluxe Far Sector, Aquaman through the looking glass, and more!

The Krisis Pick of the Week: As much as I am absolutely addicted to Dan Watters & Hayden Sherman on Batman: Dark Patterns (2024), this week I have to go with Green Lantern Corps (2025) #1 from Jeremy Adams & Fernando Pasarin. After some initial doubts Adams really won me over on his first two years on Green Lantern, and a huge part of that was the fact that I think Pasarin is the best Lantern artist. Having them together to launch a new Hal-less Lanterns book is my dream come true!

This post includes every comic out from DC Comics February 12 2025, plus collected editions in omnibus, hardcover, paperback, and digest-sized formats.

Reader beware: this DC release week has single issues from almost all of the ongoing series that I’m not excited about right now. It’s a bummer to talk about them all in one post, because I am truly bullish on the entire DC line at the moment.

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.

One Nation Under Doom (2024) #1, a Marvel Comics February 12 2025 new releaseNext week is the 7th new comic book day of 2025! This post covers Marvel Comics February 12 2025 new releases. Missed this week’s releases? Check out last week’s post covering Marvel Comics February 5 2025 new releases.

This week in Marvel Comics: North’s One World Under Doom debuts, Eddie Brock goes red, 80s Spidey hits classic omni, Epic Young Avengers, arc-enders from Spider-Boy & Spider-Gwen, return of Utgard-Thor, two flavors of Cable, and more!

The Krisis Pick of the Week: As tempted as I am to say Magik (2025) #2 after her smash hit first issue, I have to go with my heart and pick One World Under Doom (2025) #1 (of 9) penned by Ryan North. I’ve been cheering for North since the very start of his web comic days. It’s wild to see the web comic darling of 20 years ago steering a major Marvel event for arguably their signature villain. More on what North might in store below.

This week in Image Comics: Rocketfellers continues to soar, Wes Craig and Rick Remender tell two very different kinds of fairytales, McFarlane’s ongoing war against grammar, second volumes of Geiger and Public Domain, and more!

The Krisis Pick of the Week: I am ready to blast off with Rocketfellers (2024) #3 from Peter J. Tomasi, Francis Manapul, John Kalisz, & Rob Leigh! The first two issues were so perfect that I’m expecting that this one might have to drop off a little, but that doesn’t dull my enthusiasm for more stories of this time-displaced family and their big secret.

The Krisis Pick of the Week: I hate to repeat myself, but I’ve got to stick with Absolute Superman (2024) #4. I think this Absolute Universe book from Jason Aaron, Rafa Sandoval, Ulises Arreola, and Becca Carey is the pinnacle of superhero comics right now. it would be at the top of my stack for the entire month, so of course it’s my top pull of the week!
