Absolute Wonder Woman 2026 Annual #1 – The Absolute Wonder Woman annual features a compelling standalone story with breathtaking visuals and excellent writing, where Diana embarks on a quest to stop Medusa. What makes this annual especially good is its thorough setup, ensuring a satisfying beginning, middle, and end. It also includes a montage of Wonder Woman saving people, highlighting her heroism, especially considering her harsh upbringing in hell. Kelly Thompson’s script is particularly strong, as it offers a clear understanding of Wonder Woman’s heroism, driven by compassion and moral clarity. Despite Medusa’s lack of emotional depth in her motives, the emotional stakes and Mattia De Iulis’s striking visuals keep the story engaging. This annual is a powerful, character-driven addition that expands the Absolute Universe and reaffirms why Wonder Woman remains one of DC’s most iconic heroes.
Cyclops # 1– Scott Summers, aka Cyclops, is the most enduring character of the X-Men universe, and the memorable leader gets his own series with within the first few pages show him at his best instead of being a supporting player in an X-title and what’s really interesting is how the creative team of Alex Paknadel and Roge Antonio have delivered a labor of love and right away they’re able to give readers a good understanding of Cyclops with his role as field leader while going deep into his past while at the same time, perfecting his voice and mannerisms that feels very much like the components that Chris Claremont would have had a blast working on and seeing as how Scott’spast is explored more innovatively makes this series all that compelling especially since he finds himself stranded and his ruby quartz is damaged which doesn’t feel that fresh seeing as how that particular plot thread as been done many time but after giving this issue a good read, you can trust Paknadel to steer this title in the right direction even with the pacing not being all that impactful, it serves as an excellent showcase for Cyclops to where readers are more than willing to see what comes next.
DC K.O. # 4– The penultimate issue of this cosmic-scaled saga introduces its King Omega (**NO SPOILERS**), a concept sure to excite fans after three issues of relentless action. However, the most compelling element is the appearance of the absolute trinity—Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman—facing their Earth-0 counterparts. This encounter elevates the issue, skillfully balancing spectacle and substance. Scott Snyder incorporates timely humor that lightens the epic confrontations, while Javier Fernandez’s dynamic visuals enhance the intensity of the action. Witnessing the Absolute and Earth-0 counterparts clash is entertaining, yet the battles themselves often feel underwhelming, and the Absolute Trinity’s captivity by Darkseid ultimately serves as a mere plot device. Their release, when no longer needed, lacks emotional impact and misses an opportunity for a more powerful narrative moment. While the actual battle provides some satisfaction, it is unfortunate that the Absolute Trinity receives limited focus. With only one issue remaining, there is hope that the Absolute Universe will be given a more prominent role and that the conclusion delivers a truly memorable payoff.
Ultraman: The Fall of Ultraman # 1– For now, the Ultraman saga concludes with this one-shot, focusing on Shin Hayata and the Ultra Guard as they seek a way to defeat Morheim—the United Science Patrol’s director and a formidable alien adversary—leaving Hayata desperate for solutions until a future version of a colleague arrives with a potential answer that may or may not secure Ultraman’s ultimate victory. With a title like “The Fall of Ultraman,” readers might anticipate an epic battle ending in Ultraman’s sacrifice. While Kyle Higgins and Mat Groom have skillfully crafted the Ultraman universe, this one-shot feels underwhelming as they attempt to pack the content of six issues into a single installment, resulting in a story that feels rushed and too brief. Nevertheless, the issue succeeds in delivering poignant moments for readers, and Davide Tinto’s art brilliantly showcases Ultraman and his allies in dynamic Kaiju battles, adding an epic, enduring quality. Though The Fall of Ultraman may be too short for some fans, its touching moments ensure that Higgins and Groom offer a satisfying conclusion to one chapter, while leaving the possibility open for Ultraman’s return in the future.
Wade Wilson: Deadpool # 1 -Deadpool returns with a new series and a fresh direction, introducing a side of the Merc with a Mouth that many haven’t seen before. This time, Deadpool is shadowed by a dark cloud, actively seeking out pain. Despite his trademark wisecracks, his healing factor—though still impressive—now faces real limits, making the threat of death more tangible than ever. Writer Ben Percy and artist Geoff Shaw skillfully explore this intriguing concept, revealing that even Deadpool’s seemingly endless recovery has boundaries. While his death wish remains, Percy excels at infusing Deadpool with renewed energy, using the corny humor to mask deeper emotional struggles. This emotional shift adds a compelling new tone, refreshing the character while sharpening his humor and giving him new emotional layers to explore. It’s a version of Deadpool readers haven’t encountered before (and it’s a treat to see Blind Al return). Geoff Shaw’s visuals vividly enhance both the violence and the zany character moments, grounding the story even as Deadpool goes off the rails. The issue wisely withholds all the answers to Deadpool’s transformation, making this new status quo all the more intriguing, while still retaining the elements that have made him a fan favorite.
