DC Universe New Weekly Releases 5 October, 2021

I’m not really sure what DC is doing these days with their DC Universe Infinite releases. Every week they seem to release 5 or 6 comics from 6 months ago and then a bunch of other stuff that I have no references for when it came out, some of it is completely new stuff too. I am getting really confused and it is kinda frustrating that there is such inconsistency. From what I can tell there were close to a dozen comics released the week of March 30 – 6 months ago, but only 5 of those show up here.

Anyway, here’s what I found for the week…

DC Universe Infinite New Releases October 5, 2021:

• Future State: Superman vs. Imperious Lex #3
• Strange Adventures #9
• Batman/Catwoman #4
• Flash #768
• The Other History of the DC Universe #3

TOP RELEASES OF THE WEEK

5 new comics released today (last week had 6).  Anyway, looking at Comic Book Roundup which aggregates a bunch of review sites, here are the top issues from this batch of comics. This week I found 2 issues that I wanted to look further into.

• The Other History of the DC Universe #3
  by John Ridley and Giuseppe Camuncoli.
  Published by DC Comics, 2021.
  1983. Japan. Tatsu Yamashiro’s life has been taken from her. Her home, her children, her husband are all gone. With nothing left but a burning pain and the sword that stole her family from her, Tatsu begins a long journey of healing, self-discovery, agency, and rebirth. This is the story of Tatsu Yamashiro, the woman known to many as Katana-a hero who became more than the world ever intended for her, ultimately making a family of like-minded Outsiders who rally together for the common good amidst xenophobia and oppression. The long-awaited miniseries written by Academy Award-winning screenwriter John Ridley (12 Years a Slave, Let It Fall) and beautifully illustrated by Giuseppe Camuncoli and Andrea Cucchi continues to look at the mythology of the DC Universe as seen through the prism of DC Super Heroes who come from traditionally disenfranchised groups.
• Future State: Superman vs. Imperious Lex #3
  by Mark Russell and Steve Pugh.
  Published by DC Comics, 2021.
  Could the last days of Lexor be here already? Thanks to Lex Luthor’s greed, his adopted home is on the brink of financial and planetary ruin after leaving the United Planets. Now it’s up to Superman to act as a champion of these people and show them there’s a way through all of this. Will Lex stand down? Or is this the final showdown? The future of Lexor depends on it!
