DC Comics General Manager and SVP Anne Leung DePies announced at ComicsPRO that Absolute Batman #1 will be getting a sixth printing.
Article Summary
- DC Comics reveals sixth printing for Absolute Batman #1 at ComicsPRO.
- Anne Leung DePies playfully announces new printing at retailer summit.
- Absolute Batman series sells over 2.5 million units across fifteen issues.
- Iconic duo Scott Snyder and Nick Dragotta redefine Batman’s legend.
It was announced by DC Comics General Manager and Senior Vice President Anne Leung DePies during her Keynote speech at ComicsPRO, the comic book retailer summit being held at Glendale, California, that Absolute Batman #1 by Scott Snyder and Nick Dragotta will be getting a sixth printing. Although she pretended she announced it by accident…
She said, "We just announced the sixth printing of Absolute Batman number one… sorry, Nancy? Did we announce it? I guess I just did… and you probably thought I wasn't gonna make any announcements. Truth be told, I don't get the fun ones… I'm coming back all the time now. With only fifteen issues published, the Absolute line has sold over 2.5 million units. We're not even close to being done."
That would be Nancy Spears, VP, Sales & Marketing at DC Comics, there. Of course, the biggest announcement from DC Comics for the weekend would only happen after Anne Leung DePies had left the stage… The very existence of the Absolute line was first broken by Bleeding Cool, we we have scooped many other Absolute creative team and content announcements. This sixth printing was announced at ComicsPRO, but I don't think anyone else has announced it yet. Thanks Anne!
