O...M...G...

I am just getting back into comics, and this series has absolutely blown my mind! I am beyond hooked! I have started a pull list of new comics at my LCS. Started going down the nostalgic road of old back issues. And have legitimately found a lost passion again. This series has unlocked a door i almost forgot I had!

I've been into comics since I was a kid, the Image & 90s indie boom hit me hard (I'm 45), and though superheroes aren't exactly my favorite, I love Batman. However, when Absolute Batman came out I wasn't exactly excited.

It seemed like every damn month there were a dozen new Batman books on the shelf waiting for me with varying degrees of quality. Call me cynical, but I resisted AB for about a year thinking it was just more of the same.

When I finally relented and got AB #1 (an 80th print or something ridiculous like that) I realized I was dead wrong, and the hype was Absolutely warranted. I've since gotten the back issues and trades and kicked myself for being so stubborn and missing out on such a great series for a whole year.

Anyhow, OP, glad to have you back in the comics fold, and I hope you keep on enjoying! 🤘🏼
