Jace and Rocky team up for your DC Spotlight for the week of November 12, 2025, using a very mixed batch of books to dig into where DC stands as DC KO continues to reshape the line, comparing its structure and hype to past epics like Blackest Night and Crisis while debating how modern event culture and inconsistent tie-ins affect the impact week to week. Action Comics sparks a thoughtful look at Clark’s evolving origins and what a modern Superman should represent, Gotham by Gaslight and Batman/Static Beyond highlight the strengths and stumbles of DC’s Elseworlds push, and Green Lantern Corps impresses both hosts with confident character work and world-building that feels more cohesive than most of the main line. Supergirl delivers heartfelt holiday vibes, Mr. Terrific: Year One lands with emotional clarity, Batman & Robin continues to shine as one of DC’s most balanced character pieces, and Poison Ivy’s annual becomes an unexpected standout thanks to its fable-like tone and stunning visual storytelling. The Aquaman discussion turns into a deep dive on power levels, art inconsistency, event speculation, and whether Arthur could be the dark-horse KO finalist, while the Superman: Kryptonite Spectrum entry leads to a long conversation about Silver Age influence, experimental storytelling, and how far is too far when playing with DC’s weirder corners. They also unload on the chaotic rollout and muddled narrative of Hush 2, using it as an example of how production delays and editorial decisions can sabotage reader trust, before closing with collected-edition highlights and their personal rankings, all wrapped in the usual humor, debate, and camaraderie that define The Comic Source and Comic Boom collaboration.
