New Comics & Collected Editions Releases: DC Comics – April 30 2025

by

Detective Comics (1937 / 2016) Annual 1/2025, a DC Comics April 30 2025 new releaseNext week is the 18th new comic book day of 2025! This post covers DC Comics April 30 2025 new releases. Missed this week’s releases? Check out last week’s post covering DC Comics April 23 2025 new releases.

This week in DC Comics: Ewing does Detective, Grodd’s reign continues in Waid’s League, All-In Special hits paperback, Power Company recharges, a Silver Lantern omnibus, and more!

The Krisis Pick of the Week: It’s slim pickings this week, but there’s one book I’m sure everyone is curious about: Al Ewing writing Batman in Detective Comics (1937 / 2016) Annual 1/2025! Despite my slight weariness with Ewing in 2025, I have to admit I’m curious to see what he’ll do with a single issue story of Batman. Ewing could be a fine writer to take up the “creepy detective story” vibe of Dark Patterns when the Dan Watters & Hayden Sherman maxi-series ends.

This post includes every comic out from DC Comics April 30 2025, plus collected editions in omnibus, hardcover, paperback, and digest-sized formats. April 30 is the fifth Wednesday of the month and DC does not typically release issues of ongoing series on a fifth week. Instead, this week we have a chapter of a maxi-series, the conclusion of a mini-series, and several one-shots and annuals – as well as Free Comic Book Day.

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 April 30 2025 new releases! [Read more…] about New Comics & Collected Editions Releases: DC Comics – April 30 2025
