Printwatch: Absolute Superman, Batman & Robin, Transformers Printings

Printwatch: Absolute Superman, Batman & Robin Year One, Fade, Power Rangers Prime, Transformers get second Prints, tenth for Transformers #1

Printwatch: Absolute Superman #1 and Batman & Robin Year One #1 get second prints from DC, as do Fade #1 and Power Rangers Prime #1 from Boom Studios. We also have all the covers for Transformers #1 tenth printing, and Transformers #11 and #13 from Image Comics/Skybound/Hasbro…

Printwatch: The hat trick is complete: Absolute Superman #1 is DC's third of three Absolute debuts in 2024 to sell out at the distributor level, just as the issue hits stores. DC will return to press for a second printing of Absolute Superman #1, the debut issue of writer Jason Aaron and artist Rafa Sandoval's take on this outlaw version of the Man of Steel. Absolute Superman #1 Second Printing will arrive with a new main cover by Sandoval and Ulises Arreola, which we have, an open-to-order variant cover by artist Guillem March which we don't, a 1:25 variant by Sandoval which we also don't, and a foil version of Matteo Scalera's variant cover from the first printing of issue #1, which we do.

Printwatch: Batman & Robin: Year One #1, the debut issue of the new series from the team of writer Mark Waid and artist Chris Samnee detailing their formative early days, has sold out at the distributor level, and will return for a second printing for the 18th of December. With a new cover by Samnee (yet to be coloured).

Printwatch: We mentioned that Transformers #1 was getting a tenth printing and have the main cover of the ten that will be made available. We also mentioned that Transformers #13 was getting a second printing, but we now learn that Transformers #11 is also getting a second printing with two covers. And we have all the covers for all of them.

Transformers #1 begins an all-new era for the iconic robots in disguise from superstar creator Daniel Warren Johnson (Extremity, Do a Powerbomb,DC's Wonder Woman: Dead Earth) and colorist Mike Spicer (Stillwater). Optimus Prime was supposed to have led the Autobots to victory. Instead, the fate of Cybertron is unknown, and his allies have crash-landed far from home, alongside their enemies—the Decepticons. As these titanic forces renew their war on Earth, one thing is immediately clear: the planet will never be the same. New alliances are struck. Battle lines are redrawn. And humanity's only hope of survival is Optimus Prime. Retail: $4.99 In-Store Date: 12/18/2024
