February 4, 2026·5 min
The episode opens with three headlines: DC sponsors superhero puppies, IDW sales drop again, and Doorman gets a solo comic. It focuses primarily on the DC and Guide Dogs of America partnership. Guide Dogs of America is described as an organization that connects guide dogs with blind or visually impaired people, veterans with PTSD or TBI, children with autism, and facility dogs for public institutions. DC is sponsoring a litter of five future guide and service dogs. The two organizations previously collaborated at San Diego Comic-Con in 2025. The partnership will last a year and includes co-branded events, media moments, and storytelling activations. The puppies are named Crypto, Clark Kent, Lollipop, Comic-Con, Lois Lane, Kara, Zor-El, and Lobo. They will undergo puppy pre-kindergarten training on the GDA TLC campus. Then, they will move into the homes of skilled volunteer puppy raisers. These raisers will train the golden Labrador crosses into loyal companions. Fans can follow the puppies' journey at dc.com/pups. Social activations will allow fans to engage throughout the year. The puppies will be available to meet in person at San Diego Comic-Con in July. The episode ends with a speculative question about whether the litter will appear in DC KO media or Absolute versions. The other news items about IDW sales and Doorman are mentioned briefly but not elaborated on. The format is a solo news recap delivered in a straightforward, informational style.
