Best comics of the week: November 11, 2026
#5: Amazing Spider-Man #1003
‘Amazing Spider-Man’ #1003 reverts J. Jonah Jameson in a smart way
Amazing Spider-Man #1003 finds a clever and believable way to bring back the J. Jonah Jameson fans love to hate without undoing years of character development. Joe Kelly understands that Jonah’s friendship with Peter can coexist with his public criticism of Spider-Man, and the fallout from Avengers: Armageddon gives that tension real weight. Simone Di Meo’s expressive artwork elevates an issue driven largely by conversations and character moments, while Peter’s personal struggles and Luke Cage’s political predicament set up intriguing developments. It’s a smart, character-focused issue that respects Spider-Man’s history while moving his world forward.

#4: The Karman Blade #3
‘The Karman Blade’ #3 swings its titular weapon with newfound intensity, interest, and accuracy
After a shocking death at the end of issue #2, ‘The Karman Blade’ delivers both a pivot and a sense of persistence across its penultimate issue. The end result will move and disarm on several fronts for perhaps the strongest, most vital issue so far.

#3: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #24
‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ #24 has everything that make the Heroes in a Half-Shell work
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #24 ends Gene Lune Yang’s run in the same way it began, spotlighting the family dynamics that define the Heroes in a Half-Shell. Here’s hoping the incoming creative team of Matthew Rosenberg and Juann Cabal can keep those dynamics intact.

#2: Supergirl #19
‘Supergirl’ #19 sees Kara reclaim a piece of her Bronze Age past with Matrix
All in all, Campbell continues to exceed expectations by continuing to build Supergirl into being her own person who can function independently of the Superman brand. Whilst Campbell is not outright rejecting her place in that brand, she still recognizes Kara’s potential to be a truly unique hero in the DC Universe that can cover a lot of new ground. This is seeing Campbell revisiting developments that have worked for Kara in the past and reinterpreting those old ideas to build her in the present. This is also seeing Campbell give Kara a strong supporting cast that now excitingly features Matrix.

#1: Teen Titans #3
‘Teen Titans’ #3 packs a bloody, emotional wallop
Teen Titans #3 delivers a whammy of an issue that will hit readers visually and emotionally, catapulting it into the top tier of DC’s titles. If you want something new that isn’t Absolute or one of the “big” DC characters, this is a comic that needs to be on your radar.
