Welcome to Fantastic Five, where we shout out the best comics of the week! This week features an Absolute-ly perfect debut, a new Marvel event, and more. Let’s get to the books! Best comics of the week: June 10, 2026 ‘Skate Ali’ #1 has all the ingredients of a breakout indie series Skate Ali #1 is an outstanding debut that combines stylish visuals, strong character work, and confident world building.

Supergirl’s “Hero of Kandor” storyline has been Sophie Campbell’s wildest arc yet. After a major falling out with Lesla-Lar and Lena Luthor during a botched New Year’s Eve party in Supergirl #9, Kara Zor-El didn’t exactly have her best friends alongside her to face the deadly rebellion of Black Flame.

One of my most anticipated books of 2026 is Absolute Catwoman by Che Grayson, Scott Snyder and Bengal. Spinning out of DC’s megahit series, Absolute Batman, Absolute Catwoman #1 leads with a 25-year-old Selina Kyle who has already built the life that she wants and wishes to permanently retire. But like everything else that happens in DC’s Absolute Universe, it’s simply not meant to be, and she’s immediately thrust back into the life she wants to abandon.
