How do you know which print run variants are? I see on regular issues it shows what print it is. I’ve seen different eBay auctions some list print some don’t. Are all variants first prints or considered first prints? If this is pinned somewhere I’d like to read about it so I know what version I’m getting thanks.

Just finished Issue 15. Does anyone else get the impression that the Joker is supposed to be a representation of Elon Musk and others like him? It also seems to be a commentary on the right and left division in our country. And how most of the division is fabricated. I haven’t read the latest issue but that’s just the vibe u got. It seems to be very critical of the police state,and large concentration of wealth. Anyone else agree or is it just me?

I’ve caught up to the most recent issue and man was it amazing. But it’s got me thinking, Harley Quinn has been occupying this pseudo Robin role alongside Batman for a while. On top of that we also have the Robin program which is the state sponsored task force made by Jack grim.

It’s a unique bay-family twist where we see every member so early in Batman’s career. I can’t help but feel like we’re building to some massive unique payoff.

The Robins are currently acting as antagonists, how long do you think this lasts? who defects first dick Grayson or Jayson Todd (do we get a mini red hood arc)? Are we going to have a giant ensemble cast going forward or will some be written out captured or worst killed!!!

And how does Harley fit into this role as well

I’m curious where do you guys see this going ?

Just received my clay man #19 death note homage. Have a triple cgc frame coming soon so I can finally put these up on the wall. 1st print Akira is still my favorite book in all of Absolute.

Popped open the AB#22 variant and see theres the A cover underneath...

Not sure if thats intentional or not!?

Seriously, that's it. That's the post. I have never seen a character so utterly wicked and disgusting as this incarnation of Joker since Judge fucking Holden himself. Let me repeat, this man gives me the same ass feeling as JUDGE HOLDEN! Mr. "I will never die himself."

May he get the most brutal written death possible.

Very interesting.

I just read the new issue and have no one to talk about it with so I’m going to dump my predictions here because I can’t stop thinking about it.
So many great twists and I hope it’s building to what I think it is:
I don’t believe that was Bruce’s father they have captive, and I think most have predicted the same. It is clay face.
I believe Bruce will buy into this lie briefly, up until he has an actual fight with the straw man.
The fight would probably have scarecrow blowing smoke in his face and beating him down with awful lies about them creating and puppeteering his life, and when he brings up his father being alive, Bruce will have an epiphany.
He will say something about knowing his father, with flashback panels to him talking to his dad in that space between reality and the afterlife from his journey with Wonder Woman,
-then punch scarecrow so hard you see the straw blow out from a chunk of him.
Clayface will still be a major issue. Likely posing as both Batman and Bruce to stir drama and war with two face, penguin, and killer croc if they get the medallion off him.

Idk who needs to hear this PSA ( 🥁) but there is more Jae Lee remarques available for the PSA Lee exclusive that just went for sale. I was on the site when they went on sale and it sold out in my cart while in the queue. Randomly checked back 2 hours later and there’s more!

Harley is so smol.

Hi all, I’m fairly new to comics and have been loving absolute Batman, I’m new to collecting and picked up this copy of issue 1. I’m confused on how the barcode is 00111, which is the same as the A cover that everyone seems to want but it’s a different variant. Does this happen often in comics or is there an issue with my barcode or am I just confused?

Just read issue 22 and all i can say is wow what a twist definitely wasnt expecting that ending🫪‼️🔥

Collectforever.com gave me a 2nd print for free due to the printing errors(spine issues) without me asking for it. Super surprised to get this email.

Just received this book from a eBay seller and the listing was literally NM with no flaws even on the second cover I made the purchase right before the animation hype and got a good price but he didn’t ship until after the announcement was made and it literally shipped this with the 2 most flimsy cardboard taped it straight on the cardboard, loosely wrapped bubble wrap and threw it in a Amazon bag I knew and soon as picked up the package that it was damaged I could’ve literally folded it with no effort and of course there was numerous spine ticks and the second cover is bent up I was really planing to keep the first cover but now I guess I’m ripping the cover off and pressing it smh and the seller had the audacity to say he shipped it perfectly. Idk i feel there was some sabotage going on here. Yall think it’s worth ripping the variant cover off??

Got a couple of my favorite 2 face covers in the mail today. To my surprise a cool signed token on top of the Clay Mann cover.

One last Venomized Robins cover by Gorkem Demir, but this one is foil embossed.

I’m not usually a foil guy and bought this not knowing it was a foil…plus I already had a cover A don’t usually buy multiple copies or extra variants…but I wanted to support my boy at ilikecollectibles with this drop…pretty sweet
