The Week’s Best Comics: July 30, 2025
#5: Various Crisis Events #5
“Various Crisis Events” #5 is visually experimental and emotional
Assorted Crisis Events #5 is a masterclass in emotional storytelling and visual experiments, using the comic form itself to explore the inevitable loop of trauma. This is a bold and moving question that carefully reads and reinforces why this series is one of the boldest comics today.

#4: News from Fallout #2
“News from Fallout” #2 is a slow burn that is packed with delusions
News from Fallout #2 continues to move forward in the debut issue, providing deeper insights into the character, immersing readers in a world ingrained in nuclear-age delusions and horror. Condon and Love are creating something special here, and I am intrigued to see where it goes in the future matters.

#2: Justice League: Dark Tomorrow Special #1
“Justice League: Dark Tomorrow” Special #1 Sets up DC KO
Overall, Justice League: Dark Tomorrow Special #1 is a solid one-shot that fires on every cylinder, but you need to be familiar with recent DC events to understand its greater importance. Dark Tomorrow should read as part of the DC KO setup, which will be released in October 2025.

#1: Titans Annual 2025
“Titans Annual” 2025 is full of respect
In a story that shows how capable a special and sensational manga is, Titans Year 2025 is already my favorite Comic of the Year. It’s a great story that teaches readers how important love is to shape who we are. If you’re going to get one manga this year, then this is it.
