Top Comics This Week: March 25, 2026

Every few years, the industry reminds us that comics can still feel like an event—something you talk about in the shop, something that makes you text your friends in all caps. “Superman / Spider-Man #1” is exactly that kind of moment. The two most recognizable superheroes on the planet collide again, and the creative team wastes no time throwing them into a crisis that neither can punch their way out of alone.

This issue leans into what makes both characters iconic: Superman’s steady, hopeful presence and Spider-Man’s scrappy, heart‑on‑his‑sleeve resilience. There’s an early sequence—no spoilers—that feels like a love letter to the history of superhero comics, the kind of thing that reminds you why you fell in love with these characters in the first place. Expect multiversal weirdness, villain team‑ups that shouldn’t work but absolutely do, and a tone that balances sincerity with the kind of banter only Peter Parker can deliver.

If you only grab one book this week, this might be the one that earns the top spot in your stack.

2.) “The Amazing Spider-Man #25” (Marvel Comics)

After months of tension, fallout, and emotional bruising, “Amazing Spider-Man #25” hits like a gut punch wrapped in webbing. This run has been unafraid to push Peter to the edge, and this issue continues that streak with a story that digs into the consequences of choices he’s been trying to outrun.

According to the preview from Marvel, “UNRELENTING TORMENT… DEATH SPIRAL PART FIVE! …for Spider-Man, Venom and Carnage leads to the most unexpected team-up in Spidey History! But even if Spidey wins, he may still lose…because Torment learns not one, but two shocking truths about his foes!”

If you’ve been following this run, #25 feels like a turning point. If you haven’t, this might be the issue that convinces you to catch up.

3.) “ThunderCats #25” (Dynamite)

Dynamite’s “ThunderCats” series has been quietly building one of the most consistent nostalgia‑revival comics on the stands, and issue #25 marks a milestone that feels earned. The creative team leans into the mythic side of the franchise, giving Lion‑O and the rest of the crew a challenge that pushes them beyond the usual “monster of the week” energy.

This issue digs deeper into the lore of Third Earth, pulling threads from earlier arcs and weaving them into something bigger, stranger, and more dangerous. According to the preview from Dynamite, “Ever since he fled the destruction of his home world, Lion-O has wondered about Thundera’s history and his place in it – and how he would measure up against those who preceded him in the royal line. Now, after two years and countless adventures on Third Earth and beyond, the young leader of the ThunderCats is about to learn the long-hidden secret of Thundera’s origin – and the shocking truth that is revealed could tear the ThunderCats apart!”

If you grew up with the show or just love adventure‑driven comics with a pulpy edge, this one deserves a spot in your haul.

4.) “Mighty Morphin Power Rangers / Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III #5” (BOOM! Studios)

Some crossovers feel like marketing. Others feel like pure joy. BOOM!’s Rangers/Turtles trilogy has always been the latter, and issue #5 of the third installment keeps the energy high and the stakes even higher.

This chapter brings the teams to a breaking point—physically and emotionally—as alliances shift and the villains tighten their grip. The preview pages show some wild transformations (because of course they do), and the action choreography is as kinetic and playful as you’d hope from a comic where ninjas and color‑coded superheroes fight side by side.

But what really makes this series work is the character work. The Rangers and Turtles bounce off each other with a chemistry that feels lived‑in now, and this issue leans into that dynamic with surprisingly heartfelt moments. It’s loud, it’s fun, it’s chaotic, and it’s everything crossover comics should be.

5.) “Vampirella #12” (Dynamite)

“Vampirella #12” continues the series’ blend of gothic horror, cosmic strangeness, and emotional introspection. This run has been unafraid to push Vampirella into uncomfortable territory—forcing her to confront not just monsters, but the weight of her own history—and issue #12 keeps that momentum going.

The preview hints at a story that’s equal parts eerie and intimate. There’s a creeping dread in the atmosphere, the kind that makes every shadow feel like it’s hiding something with teeth. But there’s also a vulnerability to Vampirella here, a sense that she’s standing at a crossroads where every choice has a cost.

If you like your comics moody, stylish, and a little bloody, this issue is going to scratch that itch.

March is closing out with a lineup that feels like a celebration of everything comics can be—big crossovers, emotional character work, nostalgic revivals, and supernatural drama. Whether you’re here for the capes, the creatures, or the chaos, this week’s stack has something that’ll hit you right in the gut in the best possible way.

Grab your pull list, grab your coffee, and settle in. It’s a good week to be a comics reader.
