DC Universe New Weekly Releases February 25, 2020
DC Comics started to release new comics to their DC Universe platform about a year after they enter circulation as floppies. With that in mind, I decided to list off those released each week as I do for Marvel Unlimited. The DC releases come out on Monday just like the Marvel comics but since they are pushed to their site in the evening I figured I’d publish their list on Tuesday.
Regardless, here’s what I think will be available for this week that was released February 20th, 2019:
