DC Comics Launches Absolute Evil In October 2025 Absolute Solicits

DC Comics launches Absolute Evil In October 2025 Absolute Solicits, by Al Ewing, Giuseppe Camuncoli and Stefano Nesi

Published Wed, 16 Jul 2025 08:43:04 -0500

We teased that this was coming earlier today after reading New Gods #8, as well as recent issues of Superman and World's Finest. And so it has come to pass. The supervillan one-shot that Scott Snyder teased for the Absolute Universe, spilling into all the other Absolute titles in October 2025 is Absolute Evil. And which plays up on the name of the previous DC Comics crossover Forever Evil. We have two one-shots and five issues in DC Comics' October 2025 Absolute solicits. While Absolute Martian Manhunter will return in December 2025 with issue #7, beginning a new six-issue arc.

In Absolute Evil, Ra's al Ghul, Veronica Cale, Hector Hammond, Elenore Thawne, and the mysterious Joker are no longer working at cross-purposes. Together, they're aligned, united, and dangerous. But an insidious betrayal from within threatens to unravel everything they've built.
