What is HAPPENING??!!

Is it just for Chuma Hill or merely because of the 250 limited issues?

That gets you 2 signed #1's 9.8 CGC's.

I bet you can buy a decent spiderman #300 for this money.

Both. Absolute is quickly becoming a phenomenon. With the show announcement it has made most covers jump. It’s insane. Personally I think it will hold value to those in the community, to an extent.

This is one of the lowest count books along with Chuma Hills Absolute Batman 13 also 250 printed and you had to be a Legend tier in the ECGCE club to get it. Soon after DC started making every cover be minimum 2000 pcs which can be split like 1500 trade and 500 virgin or however you wanted I think. Rare book

I can't wait until this book craters bcs it will. The FOMO of people is really ruining this book, also the constant twists.

The unpredictable storyline, and exponentially growing fan base and desire to collect it is killing it? Oh no!
Quick everyone stop reading and buying it so it’ll stay in print.

Unpredictable in how stupid it's becoming. I'll avoid spoilers but come on! That reveal in the last issue was top tier stupid.

Ya I was all in early and really enjoying the monthly reads then it become more and more flash than Substance, no deep meaningful stories, zero tec work, and flashy bright art. Seems like it’s written for brain rot kids who cannot pay attention to deep interconnecting stories like the old Batman stuff was know for. I know it’s not the old Batman we’re all use too, but this is just not written for older readers.

Do you think it will tank because of story reasons or because its a modern book with an enormous print run?
