"We're going to be playing Arkansas Saturday night
Gonna give them such a fright
It don't matter
Vols by fiddy"

This is a HUGE week for DC

This Wednesday is the final issue of Absolute Power followed by ALL IN SPECIAL, a special flip book, one side giving hints to where Earth One is headed after the events of Absolute Power and the other side hints into the new universe

This book is a perfect jumping on point for new readers, readers that haven't read DC in awhile and for people who love the DC Universe. Books will have all new creative teams or current creative teams but starts of new story arcs

And the Absolute series is DC's answer to Marvel's Ultimate line, and if you enjoy that, you are going to LOVE DC's Absolute line, starting October 9th with Absolute Batman, AKA The Batman Who Lifts

Drop us a comment below or give us a call if you want to make sure All In Special and The Absolute books are added to your pull list

Please help if you can
