DC Universe New Weekly Releases December 22, 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. Apparently though, the December update has not happened yet.
Here’s what I think will be available for this week that was released in December, 2019:

Top Comics This Week
20 new comics released today compared to 15 last week. Looking at Comic Book Roundup which aggregates a bunch of review sites, here are the top issues from this batch of comics.
- Aquaman #55
by Kelly Sue DeConnick and Robson Rocha.
Published by DC Comics, 2019.
As Mecha Manta lays siege to Amnesty Bay, Aquaman lays it all on the line. It’s land versus sea in a battle of titanic proportion! But which side will Jackson Hyde choose-his mentor or his father? - Justice League #38
by Scott Snyder, James Tynion IV, and Jorge Jimenez.
Published by DC Comics, 2019.
“Justice/Doom War” finale! Lex Luthor is triumphant. Perpetua is back to full power and ready to take on the Multiverse, to bend and twist the whole of existence to suit Doom. Has the Justice League finally come up against a foe they can’t defeat? Perpetua is the mother of their universe after all, the original creator. In war, there can only be one winner, and it just may be Doom’s turn to collect the spoils. This issue leads directly into Year of the Villain: Hell Arisen #1! - Suicide Squad #1
by Tom Taylor and Bruno Redondo.
Published by DC Comics, 2019.
Task Force X-nicknamed the Suicide Squad-unites some of the DCU’s unlikeliest villains for its bloodiest series yet! The Squad’s new mission is to neutralize a new group of international super-terrorists known as the Revolutionaries-and not everyone on either side will make it out back alive! But when the U.S. government’s most deniable team of do-badders realizes that the surviving Revolutionaries will be joining the Squad, all hell breaks loose! Who can Harley Quinn and Deadshot trust when their new teammates are the very people their crew was assigned to kill? The Suicide Squad doesn’t just need to worry about surviving their next mission… now they have to survive each other! The acclaimed Injustice creative team of writer Tom Taylor and artist Bruno Redondo reunite for the wildest incarnation of the Squad ever seen! - Superman Smashes The Klan #2
by Gene Luin Yang and Guri Hiru.
Published by DC Comcis, 2019.
Teenager Tommy Lee is missing, and Superman is on the case! It can’t be a coincidence that just last night, Tommy bravely confronted the Klan of the Fiery Cross when they surrounded the Lee family’s Metropolis house and told them to go back to Chinatown.
The year is 1946, and Clark Kent is so new to being Superman that he hasn’t yet learned to fly-so his search for Tommy is conducted in huge, gravity-defying leaps that make Tommy’s sister, Roberta, suspect the Man of Tomorrow may not be an earthling at all! But if this strange, young hero can adjust to his adopted home, perhaps she can, too.
First, though, they must stop the Klan from blowing up Unity House, which has welcomed the Chinese-American Lee family into their community. But could the real target be across town, where Superman’s friends Jimmy, Lois, and Perry work at the Daily Planet?
Inspired by the 1940s Superman radio serial “Clan of the Fiery Cross,” Gene Luen Yang (American Born Chinese, Boxers and Saints, The Terrifics, New Super-Man) brings us part two of his personal retelling of the adventures of the Lee family as they team up with Superman to smash the Klan! - Superman’s Pal Jimmy Olsen #6
by Matt Fraction and Steve Lieberman.
Published by DC Comics, 2019.
Meanwhile, in Gotham City, the great Olsen/Batman prank war rages on. An old favorite returns to make heads or tails of just what the heck has been going on. Jimmy does some funny Fraction stuff. Batman is there, too, doing some Lieber stuff. Lex Luthor’s kicking around. It’s a whole thing.
