First Two Absolute Batman #20 Exclusive Retailer Variants Of Many

The first two Absolute Batman #20 exclusive retailer variant covers of many, from Crees Lee and Ivan Talavera



Article Summary

  • Absolute Batman #20 debuts its first two exclusive retailer variant covers by top artists
  • Crees Lee, and Ivan Talavera deliver striking new variant artwork for the milestone issue
  • Retailer exclusives feature Absolute Scarecrow, and new Robins in power suits
  • Gotham faces a tragic loss as major secrets and alliances unfold in Absolute Batman’s latest arc

Absolute Batman #19 is out this Wednesday with more retailer exclusive variant covers than any other comic… until Absolute Batman #20 next month, with the look of the new Robins (see Bleeding Cool from last month when we said they would be power suits, and referred to them as Robin Force Five. Note that they have numbers on their shoulders. And then for this month, when we ran the main cover in question…)  And now we have the first two exclusive retailer variant covers for Absolute Batman #20.

An Absolute Batman #20 retailer exclusive variant cover by Crees Lee from Webster's Vault. The standard cover is limited to a thousand for $20 each, and the foil cover is limited to another thousand for $35 each. With a total retail amount of $55,000 for one comic, that should do very nicely. And an Absolute Batman #20 retailer exclusive variant cover by Ivan Talavera from 616 Comics featuring the Absolute Poison Ivy. The rest are meant to be announced on Wednesday, along with the release of Absolute Batman #19… which these covers will totally spoil the cliffhanger for. Of course, what we'd really like is for this BossLogic version to be real as well…
