For fans of Absolute Batman, you have to get your hands on Hot Toys' new figure based on Scott Snyder and Nick Dragotta's Batman.

Don't miss the last issue of All Fight Month in today's big DC K.O. showdown of RED HOOD and THE JOKER!! I co-wrote this with brother @joshuawilliamson.bsky.social and we were beyond thrilled with the great Giuseppe Camuncoli and Dustin Nguyen on art duties. Pick up your copies TODAY!

Out today - the first in our two-issue ABSOLUTE WONDER WOMAN/BATMAN crossover! Pick up Absolute WW #15 in stores today for a can't-miss story from @kellythompson.bsky.social & @cleanlined.bsky.social. Then join us next month for part two in ABSOLUTE BATMAN #16 from me & @nickdragotta.bsky.social!
