This week’s FOC is a split-screen transmission: superhero heavy-hitters (Absolute Flash 12, Titans 32, X-Men United 1) on one side, and full-tilt horror/creature-feature (Predator: Bloodshed 1, Universal Monsters: Phantom of the Opera 1, Ice Cream Man 45, Exquisite Corpses 10) on the other—plus prestige shelf-upgrades like Wonder Woman Historia: The Amazons (Absolute Edition) and Mom’s Cancer (Anniversary HC).

NCBD 1.14.26 is one of those weeks where everything wants to be your first read. We’ve mapped a curated route through the portals—Prime Pick: Dungeons of Doom #1, Graphic Novel Pick: Space Riders TPB Vol. 1, plus a cluster of key issues and standout launches to build your cleanest, meanest stack.

Final Order Cutoff for 12.01.25 is loaded with Absolute-era one-shots, DC K.O. chaos, a new Iron Man #1, Avengers #34 (Legacy #800), Cyberpunk 2077: Chrome #1, TMNT #14, wild horror and holiday books, plus a stack of Daredevil trades and event collections. This guide walks agents through the key singles, the “Road to Born Again” Daredevil trilogy, and all the graphic novels and books to lock into the Quantum Archive before the portal closes.
