The Gosh! Authority 16.07.25

Hello!

This Saturday is that celebration of the self-publishing scene, Small Press Day! This year we'll be helping celebrate by shining a spotlight on the Camberwell Comic Club from Camberwell College of Arts! Running from 2pm, guests include Giovanna Maria Farra, Peony Gent, Lily Hoolin, Izabella Lazeris, Lina Maria Marrow, Amelie Ryder Potter, Nadiya Pristoupa, Eleanor Rigg, Frank Todd, Ruben Trochet and Zeel. Details here (and be sure to look for other events going on elsewhere!)

Just a reminder that last week's MIA DC titles are with us this week! But as the comic gods giveth, they taketh away: this week's Image and DC titles are both delayed!

HIGHLIGHTS THIS WEEK

• SUPERMAN TREASURY 2025 #1 - Honestly, if I have to say "just in time for the movie" one more time... Anyway, Super-fans will find a lot to enjoy in this treasury-sized spectacular with a lead story by Dan Jurgens and Bruno Redondo (who definitely justifies the treasury size), and a bunch of stills and info from the James Gunn movie (just like the movie specials used to do!)

• DC WIP ALL-STAR SUPERMAN #1 - But never mind the movie, just get your grubby mitts on this beautiful thing! This reprint of All Star Superman #1 by Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely is shot from Quitely's original inked art and presented at full size. Get all the thrills of a fancy-pants artist edition at a fraction of the price! Next up in this series is Absolute Batman #1, but no clues as to what might be after that.

• BATMAN GOTHAM BY GASLIGHT A LEAGUE FOR JUSTICE #1 - Andy Diggle and Leandro Fernández return for the second part of their Victorian Batman saga as it fully becomes a Victorian Justice League saga. The gang are on the hunt for Kryptonian artifacts before they fall into the wrong hands. Spoilers: too late!

• ARCHIE MEETS JAY & SILENT BOB #1 - I mean, not the weirdest Archie team-up I guess? Plus it's actually written by Kevin Smith (with art by Fernando Ruiz), so about as legit as you could want. Archie gets a summer job at the Quick Stop and makes some new friends who change his life in very interesting ways that presumably (given it's a mature readers title) involve a lot of weed.

• 2000AD SCI-FI SPECIAL 2025 - The grand 2000AD tradition is back for another year with the usual bumper edition of one-shot stories featuring your favourite creators and characters.

• GODZILLA DESTROYS THE MARVEL UNIVERSE #1 - The one-shot encounters are done, and now we get a full mini-series of Godzilla kicking the snot out of a bunch of Marvel heroes. They should be thankful he's not got Kong with him like those DC guys are getting.

And we're done for another week! Until next time...

Andrew.
