The Comic Report - December 7th 2025
Hey everyone and welcome to the Comic Report, where I collect the biggest comic book stories of the week and pack them all into one newsletter. Grab a hot chocolate, settle in with some comics, and let's dive into this week's news! As we approach the end of the year, things will likely get quieter in the comic industry as publishers and creators wind down for the holidays, but there's still plenty to cover.
DC Comics makes their first Instagram!
DC has always had an Instagram account, but it covered everything—movies, TV shows, games, and comics all thrown together. Now, DC has officially launched a dedicated DC Comics Instagram account focused solely on comic book content.
There weren't any major announcements with their first post, but this will certainly be a useful place to check for the latest DC comics news, previews, and updates. If you're a DC reader, it's definitely worth a follow!
Netflix buys Warner Bros. Discovery
You've probably heard the massive news by now: Netflix is purchasing Warner Bros. Discovery for $82.7 billion. (For context, that's approximately what my weekly comic haul feels like.)
Regardless of how you feel about corporate mergers, this is a big one with a lot of challenges ahead—and it could potentially reshape the DCU depending on what changes Netflix decides to make. I wouldn't expect anything drastic in the short term, but this is certainly something to keep an eye on as it develops. The implications for DC Comics, DC Studios, and the entire publishing landscape could be significant.

Mister Miracle TV Show Update
After what feels like an eternity since its announcement, we finally have some exciting updates on the upcoming DC show Mister Miracle! Tom King has confirmed that writing for the show is nearly complete, and even better—he's writing all the episodes himself and serving as showrunner. Having the original comic creator at the helm is always a great sign.
If you haven't already, go read King's phenomenal Mister Miracle comic book run. It's one of the best DC stories of the past decade and will give you a perfect foundation for what to expect from the show.

Toss a coin to your Witcher!
Geralt of Rivia is coming to a comic book store near you in 2026! Dark Horse Comics and CD Projekt RED are teaming up to release a comic book adaptation of The Last Wish, the fantastic short story collection that started it all. The 72-page hardcover graphic novel arrives in August 2026.
For those unfamiliar, The Last Wish is where author Andrzej Sapkowski introduced readers to Geralt and the world of The Witcher before the novels, games, and Netflix series. If you're a fan of any Witcher media, this adaptation is definitely one to keep on your radar!

My Pick of the Week
Batman #4 by Matt Fraction and Jorge Jiménez is my pick of the week. While this issue is admittedly mostly setup, I'm very intrigued by the new Batman villain, the Minotaur.
Fraction is building something interesting here, and Jiménez's art continues to be absolutely stunning. Even in a slower, character-building issue, the mystery surrounding this new threat has me hooked.
