    DC Comics June 2026 Solicitations Highlights: Supergirl, Absolute Universe, and Superboy Prime

    Jonathan reviews DC Comics solicitations for June 2026, highlighting key releases and what he’s most excited to read.

    He notes the Summer of Supergirl Special (June 24) featuring Supergirl facing Lobo in Midvale, and Superman #39 continuing the fourth wall-breaking Superboy Prime storyline.

    He focuses on Supergirl: Survive (June 3), set on Krypton amid Zod’s crackdown and a burning planet, with Kara and infant Ka-Kal trapped in a prototype rocket, and wonders if it’s an Elseworlds-style story.

    Other picks include Lobo #4, Absolute Batman (with Two-Face), Absolute Catwoman #1 with writing credited to Scott Snyder and She Grayson, Absolute Green Arrow #2, Batman #10 by Matt Fraction and Jorge Jimenez, Green Lantern #36 and Green Lantern Corps #17 versus the Manhunters, Bizarro: Year None #2, DC x Sonic the Hedgehog: The Metal Legion #2, a Lobo #1 reprint, and an oversized work-in-progress edition of Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow.
