Absolute Green Arrow #1 arrives Wednesday, May 20, but you may need to head to the shop early to guarantee a first printing. The demand for the first issue of the new series is high and DC has announced that it is going back to press for a second printing of the debut issue. Absolute Green Arrow #1 Second Printing will arrive in comic shops on June 17.
The second printing of Absolute Green Arrow #1 will feature main cover by Rafael Albuquerque and Marcelo Maiolo with a recolored logo, along with open-to-order variant covers by Ivan Tao, and Tula Lotay (foil).
In Absolute Green Arrow, a serial killer is slaughtering corrupt billionaires, and the only clue to his identity is the green arrows protruding from the victims’ bodies. Executive protection specialist Dinah Lance, also known as Absolute Black Canary, is assigned to uncover the murderer’s identity as she investigates a list of suspects drawn from the ranks of DC’s most dangerous archers. Each one is uniquely connected to a recently murdered Oliver Queen. A deadly mystery unfolds in this urban horror reimagining of the Emerald Archer’s mythos, brought to life by Eisner Award–winners Pornsak Pichetshote and Rafael Albuquerque.
Spinning out of the shocking events of Absolute Evil, this new comic book series brings slasher-horror storytelling to the Absolute Universe, exploring Oliver Queen’s past and the clues left behind in the wake of his murder.
Retailers can place orders for Absolute Green Arrow #1 Second Printing beginning May 15. Absolute Green Arrow #1 Second Printing arrives in comic shops on June 17 along with Absolute Green Arrow #2.
Check out the second printing covers as well as a preview of the hotly anticipated issue below.
The community of Bedford, Colorado, is a sleepy small town. The people say hello to their neighbors, attend town hall meetings, and root for the local high school football team on Friday nights. But this idyllic small town is thrown upside down when the Nuclear Man arrives and starts… experimenting. Firestorm has turned buildings to sand and people to glass with no remorse and no warning. But what exactly provoked Ronnie Raymond to commit this heinous act, and can anyone contain the fury that is Firestorm?

DC has revealed Supergirl/Blade, the next chapter in its digital-first crossover initiative with Marvel. You can read it exclusively on DC GO! Written by CRC Payne with art by Mikel Janín and Hugo Petrus, colors by Marcelo Maiolo, and letters by Pat Brosseau, the new vertical-scroll webcomic brings together two icons from opposite worlds in a thriller that cuts across dimensions. The special one-shot issue is free-to-read for the first 30 days with DCUI registration.
When Mojo kidnaps Supergirl and Blade to star in his latest over-the-top vampire romance series, the Girl of Steel and the Daywalker find themselves trapped on a soundstage where the cameras never stop rolling and the stakes are very real. Forced to battle bloodsucking foes, melodramatic tropes, and Mojo himself, the unlikely duo must team up and fight their way to freedom before the show’s final twist becomes their last.
This latest release builds on last year’s digital-first crossovers, including The Flash/Fantastic Four on DCUI under the DC GO! imprint and Thor/Shazam!on Marvel Unlimited as an Infinity Comics story, which marked the first time DC and Marvel characters appeared together in original vertical-scroll stories created specifically for digital platforms. The initiative continues to grow in 2026, with both publishers releasing new stories that highlight the strengths of their characters while exploring surprising team-ups.
Launching the same day on Marvel’s digital reader platform, Marvel will debut Jeff/Aquaman by Kelly Thompson and Andres Genolet, an aquatic adventure pairing the fan-favorite land shark with the King of Atlantis.
When Ken the Kaiju storms Coney Island, Jeff and Aquaman must form an unlikely aquatic alliance to save the shoreline from total destruction. Big waves, big laughs, and even bigger monsters await in this ocean-sized adventure.

During San Diego Comic-Con 2025 in collaboration with AMD, publisher NACON, its studio Rogue Factor, and Dead Good Comics announced their collaboration on a 16-page comic book Hell is Us tie-in prequel to the main protagonist’s story. Hell is Us is a 3rd-person action-adventure game combining melee combat, exploration and a captivating storyline, due for release on 4 September 2025 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC (Steam, Epic Games Store).
Last month, thanks to a demo available on Steam and the Epic Games Store, players were able to begin their adventure and plays as Remi, a protagonist on a quest to find his origins in Hadea, a fictional country ravaged by a dreadful civil war and invaded by strange and dangerous creatures.
On 6 August, they will be able to discover through a 16-page digital comic book the events occurring right before the beginning of the game and that led Remi to abandon his post as a peacekeeper to infiltrate Hadea.
Crafted in collaboration with Dead Good Comics, the comic book features artwork by Andrea Scalmazzi and Antonio Antro, and is based on a story by Stu Taylor, under the supervision of Hell is Us Creative and Art Director Jonathan Jacques-Belletête. The cover of the book is from Yanick Paquette and Marcelo Maiolo.
The Hell is Us comic book will be available digitally, for free, on nacongaming.com from August 6, 2025.
When an asteroid the size of Metropolis hurtles toward collision with planet Earth, the Justice League dispatches Superman to avert the crisis–but a sinister threat lurks within that will change the world like never before, and this danger glows green. The Last Son of Krypton must risk everything to save his adopted home, the very home which now tries to kill him, from complete destruction! Superman Unlimited #1 is a highlight from the “Summer of Superman,” and while it’s fun, it also feels like we’ve seen this before.
Writer Dan Slott coming on to a Superman title is something I’m going to check out. I generally enjoy his writing and his “Superior Spider-Man” run was fun, entertaining, and a little different. So, I was excited to dive into Superman Unlimited #1 and it shows potential but also doesn’t quite feel so super.
Superman Unlimited #1 keeps things focused really setting up, and then shifting, the status-quo for Superman. We see what the Daily Planet is up to and it’s not too long before Superman is off to save the day darting around Metropolis. But, a large threat looms in an asteroid heading towards Earth. This is one that’d devastate a city and also holds a deadly secret that could kill Superman. It would be an interesting sequence and a nice twist of an ending if the comic didn’t drag on. And the ending, while there’s potential, feels like a mix of Slott’s “Superior” run and the Blue/Red time of Superman.
Slott takes it just beyond stopping an asteroid and as Superman struggles to stop it he replays his life from the escape from Krypton to his current situation. His life flashes before his eyes recounting his origin and catching up readers who might not know every detail. While it’s an interesting way to do that, it goes on for twelve pages. Drawn out and overall not needed, it hints at what Slott might be focusing on during his run. But, most of the information doesn’t add anything to the series and story and most can be picked up in other ways. What should be a dramatic moment feels like a really bad version of “This is your life.”
The art by Rafael Albuquerque is solid. With color by Marcelo Maiolo and lettering by Dave Sharpe, Albuquerque brings his unique style and flair to the character design and action. It all looks great and he does hit the emotional aspects of it really highlight facial expressions and body language to nail the moment. Albuquerque does have his quirks though and some characters look a lot like previous characters from other series at times. Still, it should be interesting to see how this style plays out further as the comic progresses and the team overall really makes the visuals pop.
Superman Unlimited #1 isn’t a bad debut but it gets a little plodding and tedious at times. A faster pacing and a bit more focus on the emotional aspects at times would have punched up the enjoyment a bit more. But, not a bad start and a debut where we’re looking forward to seeing what happens next.
