💥 Fresh Ink: Your Guide to DC's Brand-New Releases for the Week of 8/30/22 💥

[Vroom]

Happy New DC Comics Day , fans!

I thought it’d be fun to have a thread solely dedicated to featuring the entirety of each week’s brand-new comics. As each Tuesday arrives, I’ll add a new post in this thread that details the new releases (the figurative and literal “fresh ink”) for the given week.

Don’t remember when the next issue of your favorite series, the next volume of your favorite trade read or that OGN that you’re delirious with anticipation for debuts? Just want to casually glance at what’s new? Check this thread, because each week just might be your week!

Note: To make this as easily-accessible and useful of a resource as possible, I will often not post variant covers. The focus will usually be on the standard (or “A”) covers, as that’s what most comic stores will have on-hand, given that the availability of variant covers can often greatly differ from that of the main/A cover.

After what happened with Seer, there’s no time to waste for the Batgirls as they go Batgirling back into detective mode! And this new murder hits even closer to home—literally!

THE WORLD-SHATTERING CONCLUSION! Their friendship is fractured. The Earth is crumbling under their feet. How can the Flash and Aquaman possibly face the overwhelming threat of the Voidsong’s full power? It’s a star-bound showdown for the ages—with the entire DC Universe in the balance—as super-gods and aliens collide!

Bruce Wayne’s journey to become the Dark Knight has taken him around the globe several times, but his training is nearly complete. His trials, however, haven’t gone unnoticed: someone has been watching him…hunting him! The final test of the Batman begins!

Tom King and Mitch Gerads , the Eisner Award–winning duo behind Mister Miracle, The Sheriff of Babylon, and Strange Adventures, reunite to dive deep into the mind of Batman’s most intellectual foe…the Riddler. The Riddler has killed a man in broad daylight for seemingly no reason, but…there’s always a reason. The Riddler is always playing a game, there are always rules. Batman will reach his wits’ end trying to figure out the Riddler’s true motivation in this epic psychological thriller; this is not to be missed!

Black Adam is dead, and the Mesopotamian gods of Akkad are having a field day. Are the gods real or are they merely figments of human imagination? Accepting death but denied redemption, Black Adam becomes an ersatz Gilgamesh as he journeys through Akkadian Hell while Malik, his young descendant, goes to extreme and unethical measures to try and revive him, all the while wondering if he should save the life of one of the greatest evils the world has ever known.

Lines are blurred as Eiko Hasigawa and Catwoman start playing too nice with one another and each lets their guard down—and in a ruthless city like Gotham, you can’t trust anyone but yourself to watch your back. And Catwoman should know better than to let an old flame get into her head again…that’s her job.

Sins of the old! In response to their lack of gratitude, the world holding Superboy, Impulse, and Tim Drake captive has brought back the three villains who have caused them the most pain to keep them in their place: Deathstroke, Captain Boomerang, and Lex Luthor.

And even if they could, where exactly would they run to…? The Dark Crisis tie-in storyline races to its conclusion!

I went to the moon to eat cheese and fight aliens…and I’m all outta cheese. Actually, there wasn’t any cheese. I think that’s a myth…but aliens, hooo boy, do we have aliens! Horace Reginald Giger would be proud! What? No…I’m positive that’s what “H.R.” stands for. Anyway, this alien-monster-thing might not get a chance to devour Task Force XX, because we’re probably gonna kill each other first. What’d you expect, sendin’ a buncha angry villains to space without any cheese? I warned ya! The Harley Quinn and Task Force XX space event you’ve always needed continues here. Cheese not included.

Heartless has an extra-giant jar that has Blockbuster’s name on it, but as a man of refined taste, Heartless doesn’t just collect any type of heart…he waits for someone to experience a specific emotion in particular before taking it all away from them and adding it into his collection.
