Jace and Rocky break down the DC Comics titles for the week of May 27, 2026, including Batman #163 as Hush 2 reaches its midpoint with gorgeous Jim Lee artwork, but choppy storytelling, out-of-character Bat-Family interactions and continued frustration over the delays surrounding the series have weakened this story significantly; Harley Quinn #62 as the darker “Harq Knight” direction delivers a few genuinely funny moments while the muted visual presentation still feels mismatched to the character; Superman #38 as Joshua Williamson deepens Superboy Prime’s redemption arc through Witchfire, Manchester Black and a return to Infinite Crisis while continuing one of DC’s strongest current superhero runs; Green Lantern #35 as Hal Jordan investigates the mystery surrounding the Book of Oa while Toby Y2K’s misunderstanding about Earth’s destruction delivers one of the issue’s funniest moments; Superman: Father of Tomorrow #1 as Kenny Porter explores an Elseworlds where Jor-El survives Krypton, hides his technology from Earth and changes course after Jonathan Kent’s death; Justice League Unlimited #19 as the League’s amnesty program continues creating tension while the return of the Brainiac Queen surprises the team; The Flash #33 as Ryan North balances heartfelt Wally West family moments with the continued expansion of Wally’s flashes of insight abilities; Detective Comics #1109 as Tom Taylor continues introducing the mysterious young martial artist tied to Prion while Oliver Queen survives being thrown from a skyscraper and Batman remains unaware of the larger conspiracy forming around him; Absolute Wonder Woman #20 as Diana escapes being tortured in Area 41 when she is pulled back to Hell for the 30-day punishment tied to Hades’ curse, but that leaves her distraught having left Barbara Minerva behind; Zatanna #2 as Zatanna investigates the haunted spirit of singer Clara Dubois while Jamal Campbell introduces the mysterious Agent Di Manes and expands the idea of Zatanna operating as DC’s “Prime Magus” across multiple magical realms; Swamp Thing 1989 #2 as Swamp Thing continues falling backwards through time while the Shining Knight fails to rescue him and Abigail gives birth to their child who is foretold to become evil; Gotham Academy: First Year #4 as the series explores Olive Silverlock losing time and possibly sharing her body with another entity altogether; and The Peril of the Brutal Dark: An Ezra Kane Mystery #4 as Ezra Kane gets badly injured, ends up at a doctor who clearly knows his routine and finally confronts Huber about the secret Nazi invasion tied to the anvil. They also discuss the week’s facsimiles, reprints and collected editions, and as always rank every book from top to bottom and each give their pick for Book of the Week.
