@SledgevsBooks Between the recent Terminator 2D, latest God of War: Sons of Sparta, and now this I’m fully hooked on the retro sidescroller teen going on right now

uh . . . FUCK YES.

Goddamn that’s some good stuff

James Hong is 97 today so let’s celebrate when this legend showed up to a con as Lo Pan from ‘Big Trouble In Little China’

@Ssnyder1835 We’ve been properly teased with Absolute Joker, and had the full reveal in December, but when will Batman actually face him for the first time?

On our way to Disneyland. Anything I can answer here for a moment?

Just finished the edits on my first short story for 2026, 𝐌𝐞𝐭𝐬𝐮𝐛𝐮𝐬𝐡𝐢, which will be included in anthology 𝐈𝐍𝐓𝐎 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐃𝐄𝐄𝐏 𝐃𝐀𝐑𝐊 𝐖𝐎𝐎𝐃𝐒 coming July from @WordFirePress . My unlucky samurai gets to be a part of a great TOC. #shortstories #writer #samurai

@Ssnyder1835 Have you and Nick talked about any new original villains for the Absoluteverse or are you both having too much fun with new takes on the established rogues gallery?

Heads up that the cover to Absolute Batman 20 is a really big one.

@Aliciousness92 @comicsexplained There’s things I loved like Court of Owls and Forever Evil, but there were also some terrible N52 choices like Lobo

@comicsexplained New 52 was great, anything during and after rebirth is hot garbage

😂😂

@SledgevsBooks @FrankMillerInk Forever one of the coldest series of panels

Batman Returns. the book that made Batman badass. @FrankMillerInk 🦇💀💪

@Ssnyder1835 Scott, this is great and it’s awesome that you’ve got the readers perspective into consideration, but part of me feels like a bigger challenge is all the store exclusive variants? Since AB launched it’s those and not the A Covers that have prematurely revealed things (for me)

So this would be like - 19 has a big reveal at the end. That reveal is on the cover to 20, but we hide it in solicits 19 comes out. You have Wed to Fri to read it unspoiled. Fri we reveal the cover to 20 (so folks can order it by Monday, when orders for 20 would be due).

You love to see it

@Ssnyder1835 10/10 bleed out spot, right after I as a hard boiled detective cracked the case but made sure copies of evidence made it to the right people.

Woke up to this. Love it

@SledgevsBooks Very excited to see what comes next for Einarr

BIG FUCKING DAY.🥃❄️⚒️

@Ssnyder1835 The silver lining of issue 14 getting delayed is good lord 15 is already right around the corner 🤯

One week from today. Absolute Batman 15

@Okami13_ Doom Dark Ages DLC? Idk the glowing red is reminiscent of the crucible effects

The Game Awards account just replied to Geoff's post about the sculpture with a strange quote: "The █████ are silent. █████ bleeds. New █████ stir."

@Ssnyder1835 Already know this has cemented its place in some of your top Batman comic fights alongside Bat vs Joker in Endgame, the surprise team up against BWL in Metal, and the cemetery brawl with BWL in his series.

Full transparency - ABSOLUTE BATMAN 14 will be coming out 11/26 bc Nick and I added 5 extra pages to the final fight w Bane. We tried a version where we squeezed it in at 20 pages, but it just felt cramped and DC was awesome about giving us extra space and time. Hope you love it

@Doncates I’m definitely in the camp of people-too-dumb-to-realize-anything

Fraction is pulling a magic trick in that new Batman book that is so fascinating to watch because i genuinely have not seen a single person online realize what he’s actually doing yet.

@Dinobat2020 Bane and Deathstroke.

If Hawkman works for Ra’s and Zatanna works for Veronica, what twisted hero works for Joker?

This post brought to you by DC’s K.O., dropping tomorrow from @Ssnyder1835 and @Williamson_Josh. Dope stuff needs no explanation. #dccomics
