Exciting Releases for the Week
From The Avengers to the Transformers to Spider-Man 2099, these are the best comics releasing the week of January 15, 2024. There's a lot going on in comics this week. Spider-Man's Gang War event is racing towards its inevitable conclusion, while Nightwing is teaming up with Superman to save Robin. Meanwhile, there's a cowboy Superman, a brand new future Avengers, and a Daredevil/She-Hulk meeting that is probably going to involve some punching before there's some lawyering. That's not to account for what's happening outside of the big two, either. Savage Dragon rings in 300 issues this week, and Skybound's Energon universe adds another layer to its quickly growing foundation. To help you decide what to buy this week, these are the best new releases for January 15, 2024. DC books will be shipping on Tuesday, January 16, while Marvel, Image, and other publishers will release their books on Wednesday, January 17.

DC Comics
DC Comics brings a thrilling new installment with Batman/Superman: World's Finest #23. The story revisits the universe of Waid's modern epic, Kingdom Come, and retells the origins of Magog in a way that pre-Flashpoint's The Kingdom wished it could. The penultimate issue of this arc focuses on how Superman's forgotten sidekick, Boy Thunder, got lost in the multiverse and became the deadly anti-hero Magog. Can the World's Finest change the fate of one of DC's most iconic alternate universes, or are they just present to witness the fall of another Earth?
