Article Summary

  • Absolute Batman #1 third printing confirmed due to rapid sell-out of second printing pre-orders.
  • First printing sold over a quarter million copies; collectors driving up eBay resale prices.
  • Third printing hits stores on November 27 with variant covers, including card stock and foil editions.
  • Original art for Absolute Batman #1 by Nick Dragotta available on Felix Comic Art from October 11.

Absolute Batman #1 by Scott Snyder and Nick Dragotta went on sale on Wednesday. It was ordered rather well and sold rather well. A second printing had already been ordered… but a few days later it seems that this is just not enough either. Scott Snyder posts "Crazy news -DC just got in touch and said the 2nd printing of ABSOLUTE BATMAN has sold out (!) so they're doing a 3rd printing These are some of the new covers FOC is 11/04 – please order now so you don't miss them in case they sell out Can't thank you guys enough, best fans"

I have been able to confirm that the third printing will be in store on the 27th of November, the first cover above is the standard, the second is a 1:25 variant on card stock, there will be an additional Jerome Opena open order card stock variant and a foil variant of the image below. The second printing will be out on the 30th of October. Absolute Batman #2 will be out on the 13th of November and #3 on the 18th of December.
