Jace and Rocky break down all the DC Comics releases for the week of April 22, 2026, covering 10 books with a wide range of reactions from solid entertainment to standout highlights. Superman features a meta-driven Superboy Prime navigating life in Metropolis while grappling with his past and a surprising encounter with Witchfire, Flash introduces a dangerous viral stunt app pushing Wally West to his limits while juggling family life, and Detective Comics continues Tom Taylor's grounded mystery with Bruce teaming with Green Arrow and Black Canary while uncovering secrets tied to Prion's legacy. Absolute Flash explores the Mirror Master storyline with Wally and Linda trapped in the mirror dimension and a deal involving Ray Palmer, while Absolute Wonder Woman continues Diana's mythic journey with high-stakes magical elements. Green Lantern sets up future developments with Hal Jordan and Kyle Rayner while introducing the mysterious Toby Y2K, and Justice League Unlimited examines the controversial decision to grant villains amnesty in the face of larger threats. Harley Quinn leans into the split between Harley's personalities with the Bat-Quinn concept, while Harley & Ivy: Life and Crimes slows things down with character work at Ma Hunkel's home and a Clayface cliffhanger. The Brutal Dark builds its noir mystery around Ezra Kane with deeper connections to the museum heist and missing persons case. The episode also includes discussion of industry news, including layoffs and broader market trends, along with thoughts on speculation around current titles. As always, Jace and Rocky run down reprints, facsimiles, and collected editions, rank every book from the week, and each give their pick for Book of the Week.
