Absolute Gotham is about to get quite a bit busier.
Forward of the launch of the second massive story arc of DC’s hit comedian e book collection Absolute Batman, author and collection co-creator Scott Snyder has revealed that there’s even extra to the story than simply the introduction of Absolute Bane — two new vital characters will make their debut, as effectively.
In a mailing to his Best Jacket Press newsletter, Snyder teased, “Bane has a complete new look and design. However on prime of that, he is bought surprises in his historical past. And it is also the debut of a pair characters that I feel folks will be very enthusiastic about that we have tried to preserve actually underneath wraps. So there’s all of that. There is a glimpse within Ark M, which has one other model new take. It is actually a particular problem for us.”
That mailing included a giant reveal — the title of the second arc: ‘Abomination.’ Ought to we take into account that a teaser for the brand new characters, maybe?
In a separate e mail message despatched solely to comedian retailer retailers that included entry to an early model of all the problem, Snyder added that the storyline “comes with all of the bone crunching brutality you’d anticipate, but it surely additionally accommodates some different massive surprises… For one, it options the brand new Arkham Asylum, but it surely additionally introduces some fan-favorite characters that are going to characteristic vastly in the collection.”
So, the 2 “couple characters” are “fan-favorite” and “going to characteristic vastly in the collection”? Time to begin speculating who it might be. (It’s the Absolute Surprise Twins, isn’t it? I imply, it has to be… okay, possibly not. My cash’s on somebody with a Robin connection, extra significantly…)
Absolute Batman #9, the primary chapter of Abomination, is meant for a launch date of June 11.
