As we head towards summer, DC is turning up the heat! June is a seriously packed month of new comics, with the latest chapter of Batman’s long-awaited Hush 2 and the second issue of Superman Unlimited landing alongside a slew of exciting new launches.
There’s a sequel to the smash hit Justice League vs. Godzilla vs. Kong stomping its way onto shelves, a new solo comic for Superman’s dog Krypto, a series focused on doomed second Robin Jason Todd, and loads more besides.
With that in mind we’ve picked out the 10 best titles headed your way in June, along with all the covers and variants available at the time of writing for your perusal.

On sale: June 25
The history of the universe is retold in this new four-issue celebration of all things DC from the killer creative team of Mark Waid, Jerry Ordway and Todd Nauck. You can find out more about the project here, but Waid has described it as “A chance to realign all of DC’s sprawling continuity into one master timeline, and to be joined by some of comics’ greatest artists to make it shine.” The 48-page first issue “takes us from the very birth of the DC Universe to the rise of the Justice Society,” as chronicled by none-other than Barry Allen, the Flash.
JUSTICE LEAGUE VS. GODZILLA VS. KONG 2 #1

On sale: June 4.
Justice League, the Suicide Squad, Godzilla, and Kong in one comic? Sold. This sequel to last year’s monster smash ups the ante as Amanda Waller embarks on another evil scheme, this time to develop hybrid Titans. The Justice League set out to stop her, but that will mean facing off against the King of the Monsters, Kong, and more. Brian Buccellato and Christian Duce are the creative team, with variant covers coming from Dan Mora, Alan Quah, Gabriel Hardman, John Giang, Kevin Maguire, and Carlos D’Anda.

On sale: June 18
The year’s biggest new Superman launch continues from the creative team of writer Dan Slott and artist Rafael Albuquerque. A Kryptonite asteroid has changed the game in the Man of Steel’s world, with a new nation-state known as Emerald City rising, and the villainous Kryptonite King and his Krypto-Knights stockpiling the deadly material and making it far harder for Kal-El to do his thing on the streets of Metropolis. We’re really looking forward to seeing how this shakeup in the status quo changes things for Supes and company.
TRINITY: DAUGHTER OF WONDER WOMAN #1

On sale: June 11
Spinning out of Tom King’s consistently excellent run on Wonder Woman comes this new six-issue limited series focused on Diana’s daughter, Lizzie Prince AKA Trinity.
“It all begins when the daughter of Wonder Woman embarks on her most dangerous adventure yet to enter the timeline to find her father,” reads DC’s solicitations copy. “As the young hero knows, messing with time has its consequences, but that doesn’t mean she learned her lesson the first time. Things are about to get ruff and the Super Sons have gone to the dogs. Prepare for a Crisis of Infinite Corgis!” King scripts the series, with art from Belén Ortega.
BATMAN #161

On sale: June 25
The long-awaited Hush 2 reaches its fourth instalment. DC is being somewhat tight-lipped with plot details for these issues, simply saying of this one, “Batman’s battle with Hush takes a dark turn when Damian (Robin) and Bane team up!” Sounds good – and you can bet coming from the creative team of writer Jeph Loeb and artists Jim Lee and Scott Williams this will be a must pull. There’s a slew of covers available, with Lee and Williams providing the main cover and variants, along with other variants from Leinil Yu, Gabriele Dell’Otto, Frank Cho, George Perez, Clay Mann, and Steve Skroce.
KRYPTO: THE LAST DOG OF KRYPTON #1

On sale: June 4
We love Krypto, Superman’s canine pal, and we also love Ryan North, whose run on Fantastic Four made the number one spot on our Best Comics of 2024 list a few months back, so this is a match made in comics heaven. The new five-issue limited series is written by North and illustrated by Mike Norton and promises a “heartfelt and moving view of humanity, good and bad, through the empathic eyes of the ultimate outsider: a poor, lost dog, who just happens to have superpowers.” Sounds like it might be a bit of a tear-jerker, then.
ABSOLUTE SUPERMAN #8

On sale: June 4
Jason Aaron and Rafa Sandoval’s Absolute Universe reinvention of the Man of Steel begins its next big arc – and it sounds like Kal-El is headed home. “Superman finds himself caught between the opposing forces of the nefarious Lazarus Corp and the mysterious Omega Men,” reads the synopsis. “But Kal-El just wants to be left alone in the only place on this planet where he’s ever felt safe. A place called Smallville.” Sandoval provides the main cover, which isn’t available at the time of publication, but we do have this great variant from Clayton Crain.
ROBIN & BATMAN: JASON TODD #1

On sale: June 11
As announced earlier today, DC is flashing back to retell the origin story of the second Boy Wonder, Jason Todd. Sweet Tooth co-creator Jeff Lemire and artist Dustin Nguyen team up for a new three-issue limited series sequel to 2022’s Robin & Batman, this time examining the early relationship between Bruce Wayne and Todd, which also promises to introduce “a mysterious new villain,” who is targeting Jason. Batman must try and “train the anger and torment out of his new young ward” but is he doomed to failure?
ABSOLUTE WONDER WOMAN #9

On sale: June 25
DC is teasing a game-changing ninth issue of Absolute Wonder Woman, from the regular team of writer Kelly Thompson and artist Hayden Sherman. “The temptation of everything Diana has ever wanted lies just inside, but also, untold horrors and no known escape,” teases the synopsis. “Diana has entered the maze, and nothing will ever be the same again.” Sherman provides a typically excellent main cover for the issue, with variants from Inhyuk Lee, Reiko Murakami, and Iván Talavera also available.
