DC Confirms New Summer Blockbuster Absolute Power

A New Threat to The DC Universe This Summer

At ComicsPro last week, DC announced a number of new projects including this summer’s blockbuster Absolute Power…

Throughout the Dawn of DC, Amanda Waller’s combination of pure ruthlessness and dangerous alliances has placed her on the precipice of fulfilling her pledge—the elimination of all metahuman abilities planetwide. This summer, her plans take a major step forward with Absolute Power, DC’s big summer blockbuster.

Helmed by the critically-acclaimed duo of writer Mark Waid and artist Dan Mora, this four-issue series launches 2 July and  shows how Waller will use the strategic and military might of Failsafe and the otherworldly technology of the Brainiac Queen to steal all metahuman abilities from every super hero and super-villain around the globe, a threat so dire it will take the combined efforts of Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, and the Super Heroes of the DC Universe to defeat it.

Fans can get an early jump on the excitement and intrigue of Absolute Power on Free Comic Book Day, May 4, as DC revealed Dan Mora’s cover for the 2024 Absolute Power Free Comic Book Day Special Edition. Available at participating comic book shops Saturday, May 4, this 32-page comic features an original 12-page story by Mark Waid with art by Mikel Janín, a recap of the events that led to Absolute Power, and a sneak preview of Absolute Power #1. DC also revealed Mora’s cover for Absolute Power: Ground Zero, the official prelude. Debuting in June, this one-shot comic book will bridge the shocking conclusion of the Superman story “House of Brainiac” with Amanda Waller’s machinations in Absolute Power—all helmed by Mark Waid, the event’s architect.
