August 27th 2025 Comic Pulls

[babbling_bookends]

Here we are, the end of August! Three pulls on the list this week, here are my thoughts!


Absolute Wonder Woman #11
There's quite a lot that goes on in this issue; Diana comes down from her very bad drug trip and finally meets another Amazonian, comes up with a plan, frees Ferdinand and throws a spear into a hole. I'm absolutely delighted every time young Diana is on a page. It's so much fun seeing her learn the things that make adult Diana who she is.

Green Arrow #27
I'm absolutely loving this arc. Seriously, if you're a Roy fan and you aren't reading this, you're missing out, because we're being well fed. Roy having a heart-to-heart with Lian about his addiction troubles was so raw and earnest. Montos's art shows the father-daughter duo together and perfectly matches the heartbreak and love.
Meanwhile, Ollie is having trouble of his own as he tracks down the Crimson Archer. Montos draws fantastic Ollies, running and jumping through the city, and the Crimson Archer is exceptionally sinister with the smoky red clouds that show up wherever he goes.

Robin and Batman: Jason Todd #3
What a pointless and disappointing comic. "Poor little Jason, who was always doomed to die," the ending seems to say. Which seems rather antithetical to one of the most iconic events in comic history, where Robin's death was left up to a vote, and he very well could have lived. Compared to Dick and Tim, we have so little of Robin Jason, and this could have been an opportunity to give Jason fans something new, and instead it was wasted.


Notes:
Next week! Batgirl! Cheetah and Cheshire Rob the Justice League! Women! Birds of Prey usually comes out the same week as Batgirl, but it seems it's been moved to the next week.

Also coming out next week, this fun cover featuring Jason!

Batman #635 Facsimile Edition 2025 Alex Saviuk Super Powers Variant

I'm not picking this one up sadly (mostly because I didn't realize it existed; I must have missed it in the solicits) but I wish this was a real action figure and, more importantly, could be bought for the low low price of $4.99. It is very clever to have the price of the comic look like a price sticker though!
