TUESDAY TOP 10

Sep 15 – Sep 21, 2026
Absolute Green Arrow #5 took the week with a terrifying turn — Hector Hammond holds the cards, Black Canary is on the edge, and Albuquerque’s art makes every panel breathe. Right behind it, Batman Day 2026: Batman of Two Worlds made its mark, but the real story is the Absolute Batman stack. Snyder and Dragotta are weaving something dense and dark, and issues 9, 10, 11, 22, 23, and 24 are all moving together like a single momentum. Doomquest #4 plays with Victor’s mind in ways that feel fresh, while Miles Morales: Spider-Man #2 brings family history into the fray. These are the ones demanding your attention.

The Top 10

Green Arrow’s finale leads the pack, followed by Batman of Two Worlds. The Absolute Batman slate dominates with six issues moving.
01
Absolute Green Arrow #5 (Of 6) Cover A Rafael Albuquerque
Absolute Green Arrow #5 closes the arc with Hector Hammond at the helm. Albuquerque’s pencils make the horror tactile, and Dinah’s choice here shifts everything. If you’ve been riding this ride, the final drop is worth the wait.
02
Batman Day 2026 - Batman Of Two Worlds #1
Batman Day 2026: Batman of Two Worlds is the centerpiece for the celebration. A fresh take on the legend, landing on the same day as the rest of the Absolute slate. It’s a great entry point if you’re looking for something standalone.
03
Absolute Batman #24 Cover A Nick Dragotta
Absolute Batman #24 sees Bruce face his own reflection in the worst way. Dragotta’s linework turns the internal war into a physical landscape. The battle of self is finally laid bare, and the cost is visible on every page.
04
Miles Morales: Spider-Man #2
Miles Morales: Spider-Man #2 brings a threat from Jeff’s past. Revenant counters every move, turning Miles’ agility into a liability. Leon’s art keeps the action fluid while the mystery of Grendel’s fall deepens.
05
Doomquest #4
Doomquest #4 drops Victor’s mind into his childhood body. North writes the logic of a genius with a second chance, and Mobili draws the vulnerability of a boy who knows he must become a monster. It’s a fascinating character study.
06

07

08
Absolute Batman #11 Fifth Printing

09
Absolute Batman #22 Cover A Nick Dragotta
Absolute Batman #22 traces Harley Quinn’s origin. Dell Edera’s style fits the tragic twist perfectly. As the Robins nest, Harley’s past connects to Ark M in ways that change how you see the family.
10
Absolute Batman #23 Cover A Nick Dragotta
Absolute Batman #23 is the clash of Dark Knights. Snyder pits Batman against himself, and Dragotta’s art makes the internal conflict external. Hope turns to hopelessness as friends become enemies.
