Looking for a list of the best, most fun, coolest DC Comics hitting stores in December 2024? Boy do I have news for you, that’s exactly what we’re about to do, right in this article.
As DC enters the final month of the year, they’ve got plenty of presents to drop down your chimney (aka, deliver to comic book shops), including a trio of Absolute Universe titles, plenty of new number one issues, and even a Black Label series or two.
There’s plenty to love from ol’ Detective Comics Comics. So with that in mind, check out 14 highlights from December, below, presented in chronological release order. December Comics. Is that anything? No? Okay, read on.
Release Date: December 4, 2024
DC’s Absolute Universe has been an absolute blockbuster so far, and that includes Absolute Superman. In the second issue, Superman is being taken into custody by Lois Lane, we’re going to learn more about Kal-El’s life on Krypton, and (hopefully) much more as this revamp from Jason Aaron and Rafa Sandoval continues.
Release Date: December 4, 2024
After writing a fantastic Two-Face in the Black Label Batman: City of Madness, Christian Ward moves to the main DCU with this new series that finds both sides of Harvey Dent grappling for control.
Release Date: December 11, 2024
Dan Watters and Hayden Sherman go back in time for a series of mysteries set in Batman’s early days. Sherman in particular is on a roll with this and Absolute Wonder Woman, so I can’t wait to see his take on young Bruce.
Release Date: December 11, 2024
Lois Lane has powers now. But how? And why? And who? Well, we know the who, but this should fill in the rest of the gaps.
Release Date: December 18, 2024
Christopher Cantwell and Alex Lins have been pushing Plas back towards his villain origins for issues, as the main character has been dying in the grossest way possible. How will it all end? Will it indeed be Plastic Man no more in this final issue?
Release Date: December 18, 2024
The best-selling comic of the year, according to DC, was Absolute Batman #1. And we can all see why Scott Snyder and Nick Dragotta’s “Batman AF” has been so successful… It rules. Will it continue to rule in issue #3? We’ll find out in December! Probably, though!
Release Date: December 18, 2024
Wonder Woman teams up with Detective Chimp to expose arch-villain The Sovereign? After two very intense issues of this title, it’s nice to have one that caters to me, personally.
Release Date: December 18, 2024
Ram V and Evan Cagle take on the Fourth World in a post-Darkseid, er, world. Plus, Jorge Fornés tackles a four-page sequence, as well. Guaranteed to be the most visually stunning mainstream comic released this month, for sure.
Release Date: December 18, 2024
Jeremy Adams and Lucas Meyer team up the hard-travelin’ heroes once again for a blast from the past that’s sure to be the bee’s knees.
Release Date: December 18, 2024
The Challengers are back in action and central to the over-arching DC All In status quo. And not only that, they’re teaming up with Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman, so that should be fun. The title comes from Christopher Cantwell and Sean Izaakse.
Release Date: December 25, 2024
The third Absolute title released this month, when we last left Diana she was facing down an enormous monster on the beach. This issue? Who knows! This title has been amazing and heartfelt, so I’m excited to see where it goes next.
Release Date: December 25, 2025
This new iteration of the Last Halloween series has been best as an artistic showcase. And this issue the always incredible Cliff Chiang jumps in. He crushed it on a recent issue of TMNT, so it’ll be exciting to see how he adapts his style to the world Tim Sale created.
Release Date: December 25, 2024
A belated but welcome ending to this series by Jason Aaron and Doug Mahnke, Batman finishes his outer space adventure and returns home, likely completely satisfied and happy about everything that happened and ready to be a chill dude in Gotham. Kidding.
Release Date: December 25, 2024
Al Ewing and Steve Lieber tackle this swingin’ throwback to the glory days of comics, as Metamorpho faces down some new, weird enemies while balancing love and life. Groovy, baby!
