Welcome to another edition of Fantastic Five! This week marks the beginning of Pride Month, and DC kicks it off with an excellent Pride annual that headlines this list. Let’s take a look back at the best comics of the week!
#5: Detective Comics #1072
Detective Comics #1072 is an exciting bridge issue with a backup straight out of a classic fables tale. Combining action, detective work, and thought-provoking storytelling, Detective Comics is as good as ever.

#4: W0rldtr33 #2
With a cliffhanger ending and the introduction of more compelling interested parties, W0rldtr33 upholds the high bar set by the first issue and will hopefully be a highlight of the comics medium for many more months to come.

#3: Clobberin’ Time #3
Clobberin’ Time is so good I wish Marvel Comics gave Skroce carte blanche to do a solo book for every hero. Blending humor, adult themes, and a sweet, artistic style, every page delivers.

#2: Doctor Strange #3
Altogether, this is another fun issue of Doctor Strange that makes for an enjoyable read. This series is proving to be the perfect jumping point for new readers of The Sorcerer Supreme, and both stories are gleaming examples of why. With some lingering questions and potential seeds planted for the future, this is another can’t-miss read for Doctor Strange fans.

#1: DC Pride 2023
The collection concludes with a series of touching and informative essays in tribute to comics creator Rachel Pollack and a preview of the upcoming Dreamer graphic novel Bad Dream. As a package, DC Pride 2023 delivers in spades. Comics, essays, and art all come together in an important collection at a time when simply talking about queer people is becoming more and more politically risky.
