DC Comics Event “Absolute Power” Takes the DC Universe by Storm

Amanda Waller, the mastermind behind the Suicide Squad, is set to shake up the DC Universe in a major way with the upcoming comic book event “Absolute Power.” This summer, fans can expect to see Waller’s plans come to fruition as she takes on the Trinity of Evil and the iconic trio of Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman.

The main storyline of “Absolute Power” will unfold in a four-issue series from the creative team of Mark Waid and Dan Mora, set to launch in July. But before that, readers can dive into two special one-shot issues that will set the stage for the epic event. These issues will connect the storyline to upcoming events in DC’s Superman titles and provide clues to ongoing storylines across the DC comic book line.

What sets “Absolute Power” apart is Waller’s bold plan to strip all superpowered beings of their abilities, using the strategic expertise of Failsafe and the technology of the Brainiac Queen. As the DC Universe comes under the thumb of Absolute Power, fans can expect to see a showdown between Waller’s forces and the iconic heroes of the DCU.

The event will also mark the end of the 18-month long ‘Dawn of DC’ initiative and will see DC return to Wednesday releases for the first time in four years. Additionally, tie-in miniseries like “Absolute Power: Task Force VII” and “Absolute Power: Origins” will provide further depth to the storyline and explore the backstory of Amanda Waller.

With a comprehensive checklist of tie-in issues and crossovers with primary Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman comic book series, “Absolute Power” promises to be a must-read event for DC fans. Stay tuned for more updates on “Absolute Power” as the storyline unfolds.
