Absolute Batman #1 A Sell Out Across Comic Book Stores

Absolute Batman #1 by Scott Snyder and Nick Dragotta, out yesterday, is a sell out across comic book stores

Absolute Batman #1 had a quarter of a million copies ordered and a second printing on the way but it still isn't enough. Bleeding Cool's Jeremy Konrad tells us, "My god- I opened 20 minutes ago, and all variants and 25 copies of Absolute Batman are gone. Had a line at the door for once." Comic Store In Your Future writer Rod Lamberti of Rodman Comics in Iowa tells Bleeding Cool, "I also blew out of the Absolute Batman today. There is just one of the two one-in-twenty-five variants left. I was told the other stores in central Iowa were out also. People are so odd. When it was first announced, everyone was laughing at the concept, and now they are making it the hottest-selling comic of the year for us." And so it seems across social media…
