After years out of print, Absolute Blackest Night written by @geoffmjohns is finally back.
One of DC’s biggest modern events returns in oversized Absolute format, collecting the full Black Lantern saga with remastered colors, bonus material, and some of the best cosmic artwork DC has ever published.
Heroes died. Heroes came back wrong. Every Lantern Corps collided. And Geoff Johns somehow made a giant emotional color wheel one of the coolest ideas in comics.
If you missed it the first time around, now’s your shot. If your old copy has been impossible to track down without selling a kidney, DC finally heard you.
Releasing next week from @panelboundcomics
Batman doesn’t get more definitive than this.
The legendary run by Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale has finally been reprinted in the way it deserves to be. Oversized Absolute Editions. Massive artwork. Slipcases. The kind of books that feel like museum pieces when you put them on a shelf.
Follow Batman through the early years of Gotham’s crime war in The Long Halloween, the twisted aftermath in Dark Victory, and the haunting stories that helped shape the myth of the Dark Knight in Haunted Knight. Mob families fall. Supervillains rise. Harvey Dent’s transformation into Two Face changes Gotham forever. Every page drips with noir atmosphere and some of the best Batman art ever put to paper.
If you’ve ever wanted the ultimate way to experience this era of Batman, this is it.
The Absolute Batman by Jeph Loeb & Tim Sale set is now available discounted at @panelboundcomics

• Paperback Compendium Vol. 2
• Hardcover Compendium Vol. 2
• Library Edition Vol. 4
• Deluxe Edition Vol. 7
And trust me… the stuff coming next is INSANE. Some of the biggest fights, twists, and emotional punches in the entire series are still ahead.

Which format is your favorite?
Daniel Warren Johnson’s TRANSFORMERS might be one of the best looking deluxe hardcovers on shelves right now.
Volume 2 collects the next chapter of the Energon Universe as the war between the Autobots and Decepticons gets even messier, louder, and somehow more emotional. Jorge Corona and Mike Spicer absolutely cook on these pages.

Batman is one of the greatest characters in comics… but figuring out where to start? That’s the hard part.
So in partnership with @panelboundcomics , I put together my personal Batman starter guide featuring some of the books that made me fall in love with Gotham in the first place.
We’re talking:
• Batman: Year One
• The Dark Knight Returns
• Batman by Jeph Loeb & Tim Sale
• Batman: Hush
• Batman by Grant Morrison
• Batman by Scott Snyder
• Absolute Batman
• Batman: Dark Patterns
Whether you want grounded crime stories, giant blockbuster Batman epics, weird Grant Morrison insanity, or the new Absolute Universe stuff, there’s a jumping on point for everybody.
Batman changes depending on the writer, and honestly that’s what makes the character so fun to read. One version feels like a detective noir, another feels like a horror comic, and another feels like a full-on action movie.
What was YOUR first Batman comic? And what Batman book would you hand a brand new reader?
Some Batman runs feel like they’re trying to imitate the classics. This one came in swinging like it already knew it belonged there.
Chip Zdarsky’s Batman run just hit omnibus format at Panel Bound Comics, and if you’ve been waiting to dive in, this is the time. Failsafe. Gotham War. Bruce getting absolutely pushed to the edge. Jorge Jiménez drawing some of the coolest Batman pages DC has put out in years. It’s big, messy, emotional, angry Batman comics in the best way possible.

Redcoat Deluxe Hardcover Book 01 is Geoff Johns and Bryan Hitch at their most unhinged in the best way possible.

Civil War time travel, serial killers, Annie Oakley, Benedict Arnold, haunted White Houses, and a main character who feels like history’s worst road trip companion.
This deluxe hardcover collects issues #1–14 along with behind the scenes art, commentary, and extras from the creative team. If you’ve been waiting to jump into the Ghost Machine universe, this is a solid place to start.
