Jace and Rocky break down all 12 DC releases for the week of November 11, 2026. A renewed focus on Lady Clayface and the increasingly disturbing mystery surrounding her husband brings Clayface: Celebrity Dirt #5 back into focus for Jace and Rocky, with Jace appreciating the tighter storytelling after several meandering issues while Rocky praises the series’ unsettling Hollywood body horror. Two-Face’s White Court puts Barbara on trial in Barbara Gordon: Breakout #7, but Jace struggles to find any emotional stakes in her imprisonment while Rocky questions the use of a criminal tribunal and the series’ continuing dependence on Vandal Savage after the conclusion of Bad Seeds. Alfred’s unexplained absence creates a new complication for Batman and Robin in Dynamic Duo #4, with Jace praising Chris Samnee’s classic, clean storytelling and Mark Waid’s portrayal of the growing pains between Bruce and a convincingly rebellious young Dick Grayson. Morgan Hampton takes an enormous creative swing in Green Lantern Corps #22, introducing a development that could fundamentally reshape the Emotional Spectrum, with Jace comparing the ambition to Geoff Johns’ landmark run while Rocky praises the unpredictable storytelling and Hampton’s remarkable handling of a sprawling cast. Arthur Curry’s journey through Korugar demonstrates the extraordinary possibilities of his expanding powers in Emperor Aquaman #23, with Jace suggesting Jeremy Adams may be delivering a defining run for the character while Rocky argues that Aquaman’s cosmic role opens storytelling possibilities that traditional ocean-based adventures cannot offer. Joshua Williamson and Hayden Sherman continue reinventing the Fatal Five and other familiar Legion characters in Legion of Super-Heroes #3, with Rocky celebrating the spectacular page layouts and creative reinterpretations while Jace praises the patient world-building that makes the series rewarding for longtime fans without excluding new readers. Kara’s sudden loss of powers sends Supergirl #19 in an unexpected direction, with Jace strongly criticizing the rushed replacement storyline and abrupt changes to Kara’s life while Rocky acknowledges the issue’s overcrowded storytelling but remains more optimistic about Sophie Campbell’s ability to deliver meaningful character development. General Immortus’s interest in a mysterious child connected to the Evervoid brings the larger story into focus in Doom Patrol #3, with Rocky particularly appreciating the character development and Negative Man’s unexpected compassion toward Phobia, finding that the series is finally beginning to deliver on its potential. Lorraine Reilly’s determination to rescue Ronnie Raymond remains central to Fury of Firestorm #8, creating a disagreement over Jeff Lemire’s pacing as Jace appreciates the deliberate character work and the return of classic Firestorm villains while Rocky worries that the story is repeating earlier developments instead of moving forward. A missing-child investigation brings Jason Todd’s violent methods into sharp focus in Teen Titans #3, with Rocky appreciating Kyle Higgins’ willingness to embrace Red Hood’s morally complicated history while questioning how his young teammates and their parents will respond to his unconventional leadership. An unusual new zombie and further questions surrounding Rabbit’s treatment add intrigue to Bleeding Hearts #9, although Jace finds Dennis Camp’s normally compelling storytelling unusually cramped and disjointed, leaving him concerned that the creative team may be trying to accomplish too much in the remaining issues. Mark Waid explores the dysfunctional family relationships that shaped young Lex Luthor in Action Comics #1104, with Rocky praising the psychological characterization and seamless connections to Krypto while Jace questions whether another retelling of Lex’s formative years offers enough new material to justify its place in the series. Jace and Rocky also cover this week’s facsimiles, reprints and collected editions before ranking all 12 books and revealing their individual Books of the Week.
