DC Comics starts Pride month by going above and beyond what the publisher has done in the past with its celebratory anthologies. Previous anthologies were simply a collection of short stories from LGBTQIA creators featuring DC’s queer characters. As enjoyable as those previous anthologies were, DC Pride 2025 does its boldest creator collaboration yet.

After Wildcat’s death and funeral in JSA #6 and #7, writer Jeff Lemire and guest artist Gavin Guidry devote issue #8, “The Unnamed Ones,” to tell a self-contained story. Set in 1945 just after World War II, “The Unnamed Ones” serves as both a pit stop and as setup for the next storyline. But even without awareness of the larger narrative Lemire is developing, the story is self-contained enough to be easily read on its own. As such, it is completely new reader-friendly.

How important is the Bat Family to Bruce Wayne? What happens when an old foe returns to take them out in the cruelest ways possible? Where does Bruce’s story go from there? Those questions seem to be the focus of the newly-returned Tommy Elliot in Batman: Hush 2. Now three issues in, Hush 2 places a much stronger focus on the Robins – most notably Jason Todd, Dick Grayson, and Damian Wayne. This isn’t surprising, since the Bat Family has gotten a lot bigger since the original Batman: Hush in 2002.

Batman and Robin: Year One from Mark Waid and Chris Samnee is a unique comic in DC’s current output. After DC’s Rebirth initiative in 2016 restored some version of the post-Crisis on Infinite Earths continuity, DC has since shifted focus to restoring its pre-Crisis canon. Initiatives like DC’s Infinite Frontier, Dawn of DC, and now All-In have been working to restore ideas and concepts from that era. But no one has committed more to this initiative with passion than Mark Waid.

Despite stunning artwork from Mikel Janín, Tom Taylor’s first storyline in Detective Comics left a lot to be desired in terms of original ideas and thoughtful execution. This also left the book in a place of needing to leave a much stronger impression for its second story arc in order to maintain reader interest. For Detective Comics #1097, Taylor alongside guest artist Lee Garbett continue the Elixir storyline. This time, however, the focus shifts to Harvey Bullock for a fresh perspective.
