Zero trigger discipline! Unless sheās under direct/imminent attack, that finger should not be on the trigger.
Cāmon cover artist
are they at this point just throwing in 1st appearance of every issue to pad the numbers with exclusives

Of course they areā¦ they know speculators are the ones who want thisā¦ if speculators didnāt exist in comics books, this industry would be way worse off, particularly with the prints vs digital, etc.

It does beg the question of where do they go after all the major characters have their first Absolute appearance. If the audience doesnāt burn out before then.

Do we really need to treat these as firsts though? Theyāre just existing characters re-imaginedā¦

It is entertaining and all, but after the major story arc ends and it just becomes ābattle of the next few issuesā story arcs over and over, I wonder how long interest will last. I can see the major Joker arc ending somewhere between 25-37, if not in 25 itself for the milestone issue. After that, whatās AB got? Considering a lot of start up non-major continuity series like this donāt make it past 12 issues, AB is doing great holding interest thus far. But another 12 past a milestone issue like 25 will push this pretty far. A major confrontation with Joker is inevitable. After that, it will take some good creative ideas to keep people coming back for more. Otherwise, it will devolve into āwhoās Batman refighting this timeā just like any other Batman title.
To be fair they are reimagining a lot of characters in this universe, so possibilities are endless. Raās Al-Ghul in Superman as one example, Absolute Grodd is another. Plus there are opportunities for wholly new characters.
Canāt wait for The Absolute Batman Who Laughs!!

I am waiting for the big revealā¦ā¦ Absolute Absolute Batman. The absolute version of absolute Batman.
I want to remind everyone that this version of Batman was originally called Batman AF ( as in As F_ck) but dc chickened out of the name.

Why ?
Absolutely zero ideaā¦
That makes both of us
Selling for $29.99 though.
The Hulk series has been really good for a long time. No idea why this issue would be spiking.
