TUESDAY TOP 10

Jun 23 – Jun 29, 2026
This week's main-cover top sellers, in order. Absolute Green Arrow #2 (Of 6) Cover A Rafael Albuquerque led the week; the full picture is below — worth a look top to bottom.

The Top 10

Absolute Green Arrow leads the pack, but Snyder and Dragotta’s Batman run and Aaron’s Superman saga keep the main line in focus. Clayface and Lobo offer sharp alternatives if you want to step back.
01
Absolute Green Arrow #2 (Of 6) Cover A Rafael Albuquerque
Dinah Lance is digging into Oliver Queen’s past and stumbling onto secrets that change everything. Albuquerque’s grounded, atmospheric art makes the urban horror feel tangible, and Pichetshote keeps the pacing tight as the killer’s identity shifts from psychopath to something far more enthralling. It’s a mystery that respects your attention.
02
Absolute Batman #21 Cover A Nick Dragotta Two Face
Scarecrow’s psychological campaign in Gotham is reaching its climax, and Snyder isn’t pulling any punches. Friends flip to enemies, masks come off, and Dragotta’s linework makes every terrifying reveal feel like a physical blow. This is the issue where the entire arc snaps into focus.
03
Absolute Batman #1 Tenth Printing Cover A Nick Dragotta
The original issue that started it all is back in print after selling out repeatedly. If you missed the first nine pressings, this is your shot to grab the foundation of Snyder and Dragotta’s run. Clean, sharp, and exactly how it’s meant to be read.
04
Absolute Superman #20 Cover A Rafa Sandoval
Superman, King Shazam, and Hawkman collide in what Aaron is framing as the ultimate crossover battle. The mystery challenger adds a fresh layer of tension, and Sandoval’s dynamic layouts make the stakes feel genuinely massive. It’s a spectacle that earns its space on the shelf.
05
Lobo #4 Cover A Jorge Corona
Supergirl and Lobo finally cross paths in a crossover that’s equal parts chaotic and clever. Young and Corona lean into the absurdity without losing the character dynamics that make this pairing work. It’s a lighter read, but the pacing is sharp and the banter lands perfectly.
06
Absolute Batman #19 Cover A Nick Dragotta
The Snyder/Dragotta run continues to build momentum, and issue #19 tightens the screws on Gotham’s current crisis. Even without a specific solicit to lean on, the art and pacing have kept readers locked in. It’s the kind of issue that rewards steady reading.
07
Absolute Wonder Woman #21 Cover A Hayden Sherman
Diana is facing the full weight of her nightmares, and Thompson isn’t letting her off easy. The Hieron’s new host and Barbara’s sudden reality check shift the entire momentum. Sherman’s atmospheric storytelling makes the horror feel personal and urgent.
08
Event Horizon: Inferno #3 Cover A (Carey)
Christian Ward’s nightmare machinery is in full swing. The vessel is literally Hell on a loop, and Ward’s script turns that premise into a relentless, psychological gauntlet. Carey’s art keeps the claustrophobia high. It’s a trip you’ll want to take.
09
Clayface Celebrity Dirt #1 (Of 6) Cover A Fran Galan
Basil Karlo is back in Hollywood, but someone else is already playing the star. Doyle and Galan turn this into a sharp, horror-tinged look at identity and fame, complete with missing persons and a transformative supplement. It’s a bold new miniseries that grabs you by the throat.
10
She Spawn #2 (Of 5) Cover A Ig Guara
Simone and Guara keep the cross-country chase moving at a relentless pace. Jessica is protecting a child from cults, demons, and backwoods gunmen, and the stakes only climb higher. It’s a fun, action-driven ride that never loses its footing.

DC and Marvel’s crossover one-shot moves quietly but steadily, while the ongoing Gun Honey espionage thriller and Supergirl’s Lobo clash prove that side bets can be compelling. Check the shelves.
11
DC Marvel Superman Spider-Man #1 (One Shot) Cover A Jorge Jimenez
Waid, King, Fraction, Simone, and others team up to put the Man of Steel and the Amazing Spider-Man in the same story. The clash of Kent and Parker’s investigative styles kicks off a conspiracy that naturally pulls in Brainiac and Doctor Octopus. It’s a massive crossover that plays to everyone’s strengths.
12
Absolute Batman #8 4th Print
The eighth issue of Snyder and Dragotta’s run is back in print. It’s a crucial step in the arc that keeps the psychological tension climbing. Grab it while it’s available.
13
Summer Of Supergirl Special #1 (One Shot) Cover A Belen Ortega
Supergirl runs straight into Lobo in the quiet town of Midvale, and the resulting clash is pure chaotic energy. Campbell, Waid, and Simone deliver bonus stories that remind you why Kara belongs on the throne of the El legacy. A fun, high-concept one-shot.
14
Gun Honey Doubles Down #1 (Of 4) Cover A Artgerm (Mature)
When a botched hit forces three identical men to flee across Europe, Joanna Tan is hired to separate the real target from the doubles. It’s a tight espionage thriller that moves fast and trusts its premise. Ardai and Hor Kheng keep the pacing razor-sharp.
15
Absolute Batman #22 Cover A Nick Dragotta
Harley Quinn’s origin finally lands, and Snyder ties it directly into Batman’s current crisis. The Robins’ development and Arkham M’s role come into focus, making this one of the most vital issues in the run so far.
16
Absolute Batman #5 5th Print
Another reprint of a key Snyder/Dragotta issue is back on the shelf. It’s the kind of issue that bridges the early setup with the later payoff. Solid pick for anyone catching up.
17
Absolute Batman #6 4th Print
The sixth print brings another crucial chapter back into circulation. Dragotta’s art and Snyder’s plotting continue to build a Gotham that feels both mythic and deeply personal. Don’t sleep on it.
18
Absolute Green Arrow #1 (Of 6) Cover A Rafael Albuquerque
The series that started the week’s run is back in print. Albuquerque’s cover and Pichetshote’s script set the tone for a gritty, murder-mystery reimagining of the Emerald Archer. If you need the foundation, it’s right here.
19
Absolute Superman #14 Cover A Rafa Sandoval
The fourteenth issue keeps Aaron’s cosmic stakes grounded in character beats. Sandoval’s art continues to elevate every panel, and the narrative momentum is hard to break. A steady, compelling read.
20
Absolute Superman #19 Cover A Rafa Sandoval
King Shazam arrives to challenge Superman, and Aaron ties the conflict directly to Brainiac and the Father Box lore. Sandoval’s layouts make the clash feel massive, and the mystery challenger adds just enough uncertainty to keep you turning pages.
If you’re tracking the Absolute line, Snyder and Dragotta’s Batman run is the one to watch. Issue 22 lands Harley’s origin while tying it directly into the current crisis, and it’s shaping up as the arc’s pivot point. Clayface Celebrity Dirt is also quietly building something sharp.
