Today I am back on Near Mint Condition to announce the results of the first ever Most-Wanted DC Finest Poll – organized with the participation of DC Comics! The poll received over 3,000 votes, so we’ve got a significant amount of data telling us what fans want to see the most from the DC Finest line – including new volumes for existing titles and brand new title lines.
Tune in for us to announce the top results from both parts of the poll.
Have you voted yet in the first annual Most-Wanted DC Finest Poll? I worked closely with the DC Collected Editions department to figure out every possible missing volume and line so that fans could have their say on what they want to see the most. And, now I’m having my say as I share my Top 25 most-wanted missing eras of volumes and my Top 25 most-wanted new lines!
Do you agree with my picks? Will any of my picks make the poll results? You’ll have to tune in to the poll results next week to find out.
I am incredibly proud to be announcing the first ever Most-Wanted DC Finest poll on Near Mint Condition – which I personally developed with direct input from the DC Comics collected editions team! Tune into our announcement stream for more details on how that happened and EVERY option for DC Finest volumes and new lines.
Next 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

The Krisis Pick of the Week: Of course my pick is Absolute Martian Manhunter (2025) #2! Issue one was so damn good I wrote a whole song about it that I haven’t stopped singing for an entire month! But, there are a lot of great issues out from DC this week that I can’t wait to read. They’re crushing it right now.
