New Comic Book Day gets noisy fast. These are the books worth buying this week: Daredevil #1, Venom #256, Absolute Superman #18, Batman #8, Dead Samurai #6, and more.

Every week has big covers, familiar characters, milestone numbering, and at least a few books getting pushed like they’re automatic must-buys. Some of them deserve it. A lot of them don’t. This week’s list is built from all the releases for March 25 first, then filtered through the stuff that really matters: launches, arc starts, milestone issues, reader heat, and cover appeal.
