DC Universe New Weekly Releases October 13, 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 Tuesday. Coming soon, DC will be releasing comics 6 months after they’re on the shelves which will give me a lot of catching up to do.

Here’s what I think will be available for this week that was released October, 2019:

• Hawkman #17
  by Robert Venditti, Pat Olliffe, and Tom Palmer.
  Lex Luthor gave the Shadow Thief the power to defeat his archenemy, Hawkman, but too bad for the Shadow Thief that Hawkman received a gift of his own from a much more formidable foe-and now nothing can stand in Carter Hall’s way!
