On this week’s Comic Boom / Comic Source DC Spotlight for November 19, 2025, Jace and Rocky dig into ten new DC titles in what they both see as a solid—if unspectacular—week, with the ongoing DC KO event still feeling like the most exciting thing happening at the publisher even as the tie-ins remain surprisingly sparse. After opening a fresh pack of Superman trading cards and shouting out Jace’s recent interview about the sci-fi heist graphic novel Bridge: Planet Nine, the guys dive into an extended craft talk about how much a comic depends on the chemistry between script and art, using several of this week’s books to illustrate how that balance can elevate a title or hold it back. They compare notes on the Lex/Joker mashup energy in World’s Finest, debate whether Superman Unlimited’s Smallville-infused John Kent direction is charming or derivative, and discuss why Torunn Grønbekk’s espionage-tinged Catwoman arc might actually function better as a prose thriller than a monthly comic. The conversation gets livelier when they tackle Tom King and Daniel Sampere’s Wonder Woman, unpacking Diana’s ferocious confrontation with Mouse Man and the emotional through-line that has carried the series since issue #1, before shifting to the big momentum shift in Absolute Flash as Dr. Thawne’s agenda sharpens and the Rogues finally click into place. They also break down the metaphysical finale of Ram V’s New Gods and the bold new status quo it sets up for Scott Free, Big Barda, Orion, and Kamal; examine the horror-driven escalation in Nightwing as the Cirque du Sin and Olivia Pierce push Dick Grayson into darker territory; touch on the Grant Morrison-helmed chaos of Batman/Deadpool; and check in on John Layman’s Titans, which delivers exciting character moments even as its DC KO placement feels more adjacent than essential. Throughout, the guys keep things character-focused, highlighting what worked, where the week stumbled, and why the strongest issues continue to raise the bar for DC heading into the year’s home stretch.
