Best comics of the week: June 25, 2025
#5: News From the Fallout #1
‘News From The Fallout’ #1 kicks off a nuclear-fueled nightmare
News From The Fallout #1 is a comic that’s equal parts sci-fi mystery and nuclear fueled nightmare, searing itself into the reader’s brain via its disturbing imagery and compelling story. Every year, there’s a series that leaps out and grabs my attention. News From the Fallout is that series, and if Condon and Love keep it up, this could be one of the best comics I’ve read this year.

#4: Absolute Martian Manhunter #4
‘Absolute Martian Manhunter’ #4 literally explodes with emotion
Absolute Martian Manhunter #4 sees temperatures and tempers rising, all of it captured in the way that only its creative team can pull off. Just when I think I’ve seen everything this book can pull off, it continues to surprise me. Camp and Rodriguez are pulling off something special here, so if you haven’t added this comic to your pull list, what are you waiting for?

#3: Tramps of the Apocalypse #1
‘Tramps of the Apocalypse’ #1 is a brutal, sexy revolt against the patriarchy
The book’s guaranteed to anger misogynists, but who cares? The brutal violence and vicious dialogue could be considered a parody of grindhouse films but I also feel it represents the primordial rage many women are feeling at the current state of the world. We live in a time where women’s bodies are being regulated by predominantly male lawmakers, where women STILL make less money working the same job as men and where women feel less safe as each day passes. Baby, Babette and Belladonna embody justice, they embody power and the freedom of an unrestricted life. They unapologetically live life the way they want and they destroy anyone who gets in their way, and the book’s incredibly satisfying because of it.

#2: Green Arrow #25
‘Green Arrow’ #25 is full of sincerity, realism, and tragedy
Green Arrow #25 is an absolutely perfect issue from start to finish. Everything about this issue feels like a love letter to the fans, to Denny O’Neil and Neal Adams, and to what comics can still mean when writers use the medium to speak about critical social issues and take those dialogues beyond the surface level. While the cliffhanger is truly heartbreaking, it doesn’t feel needless; it has purpose, and one that’s sure to be explored over the course of this arc. So, buckle up, Green Arrow fans, it seems like we’re in for the ride of our lives.

#1: Mr. Terrific: Year One #2
Al Letson and the art team continue to shape Mr. Terrific: Year One into something more than just a retelling; it’s an actual character excavation. By threading together past trauma, present mystery, and future stakes, this issue deepens Michael Holt’s emotional journey without losing sight of his intellect, heart, or pain. Letson’s respect for the source material blends well with his drive to expand Holt’s world, and the connections to DC’s All-In initiative hint that Holt’s story is just beginning to ripple outward. Whether it’s the family tension with Paula, the lingering guilt of Dre, or the question of how far a man driven by grief can rise. This issue redefines Michael Holt’s origin rather than simply retelling it.
