Superman Unlimited #1 – Dan Slott kicks off a high-stakes new era for the Man of Steel with Superman Unlimited, a thoughtful and action-packed debut that blends cosmic spectacle with heartfelt introspection. What begins as a routine day of heroic deeds in Metropolis takes a harrowing turn when Superman is called to intercept a massive asteroid—one revealed to be a chunk of Krypton itself. Faced with a decision that could cost him everything, Clark reflects on his life, death, legacy, and the people he holds dear. Slott masterfully uses these moments to reintroduce the character and recent continuity, making this a perfect jumping-on point. Meanwhile, in a compelling B-plot, Lois Lane meets the Daily Planet’s ambitious new owner, hinting at a shake-up in Superman’s civilian world. With big ideas and even bigger emotional beats, this is a Superman story with both heart and scope.

Absolute Flash #3 – Absolute Flash continues its standout run with a gripping third issue that’s as emotional as it is surreal. Wally West remains on the run, pursued by government agents who see his newfound powers as a national resource. But it’s the introduction of Grodd that steals the show—reimagined here not as a brutish villain but a small, psychic gorilla who forms a surprising bond with Wally. Their psychic journey through memory, brought vividly to life by Nick Robles' dazzling, kaleidoscopic art, is a visual and emotional triumph. Jeff Lemire continues to imbue this series with a deep sense of adolescent vulnerability, making Wally’s inner conflict just as compelling as the external threats he faces. This series remains the most emotionally resonant of the Absolute line, and a must-read for fans of introspective superhero stories.

Robo Wolf #1 – Robo Wolf crashes onto the scene in a blaze of neon-glowing chaos, perfectly blending the absurdity of 80s Saturday morning cartoons with the edgy satire of 2000AD. Jake Smith’s debut is a loud, fast, and gloriously over-the-top ride through the dystopian city of Sunset Hills, where the titular cybernetic lupine antihero is doing “one last job” to save his kidnapped daughter. What follows is a wild spree of shootouts, mutant ninjas, and knowing nods to every retro cartoon trope imaginable—wrapped in snarky writing and bold, toyetic visuals that make each page an homage and a parody all at once. It’s gleefully self-aware and just plain fun, a perfect pick for fans of TMNT, Judge Dredd, or anyone with a soft spot for chaotic, genre-blending storytelling.

Solo's Picks:

Kid Juggernaut #1 – The mantle of the Juggernaut is reborn in Kid Juggernaut #1, a fun, heartfelt, and surprisingly rich one-shot that introduces Justin Jin as the newest bearer of Cyttorak’s unstoppable power. Written by Emily Kim with art from Minkyu Jung and Peter Nguyen, this debut perfectly balances superhero spectacle with emotional depth. Justin stands apart from his predecessors—not just Cain Marko, but also his grandfather, Jin Taiko, the original Juggernaut—by striving to use his powers for good. The highlight comes during the gorgeously rendered flashbacks to Jin Taiko’s past, which add new layers to the lore surrounding the Juggernaut legacy. With expressive linework and striking colors, both artists bring real visual energy to this origin story. Kid Juggernaut breathes fresh life into a long-standing Marvel legacy, and here’s hoping Justin Jin returns soon in a bigger way.

Spider-Man & Wolverine #1 – Longtime frenemies Peter Parker and Logan reunite in Spider-Man & Wolverine #1, a riveting one-shot from Marc Guggenheim and Kaare Andrews that dives deep into memory, regret, and buried secrets. The story kicks off with Wolverine searching an abandoned S.H.I.E.L.D. helicarrier that houses a vast archive of classified intel, only to uncover a dark connection to his past. The narrative takes a surreal turn as the two heroes are forced to relive pivotal moments from each other's lives—a storytelling device that works brilliantly thanks to Andrews' incredible art. His reality-bending visuals hit just the right mix of abstract and coherent, giving the emotional beats the weight they deserve. The final twist is genuinely jaw-dropping and promises larger consequences. This is a must-read for fans of either character and one of the most effective Marvel team-ups in recent memory.

Absolute Flash #3 – Absolute Flash continues to be one of the most compelling books in the Absolute universe, and issue #3 delivers another stellar chapter packed with emotion, action, and intrigue. Wally West is still on the run, and the situation escalates when Grodd enters the picture—not as the towering menace we know, but as a genetically engineered chimpanzee with psychic powers and a mysterious past. Their psionic connection leads to a shared memory sequence that’s not only beautifully rendered by Nick Robles but also incredibly revealing for both characters. Robles' art steals the show, especially in the emotionally intense flashbacks that show Wally grappling with trauma and the emergence of his powers. There’s also a possible tease of Reverse Flash lurking in the shadows, adding to the mystery. If you’re following the Absolute line, this issue is an absolute must.
