DC Comics Announces 2024’s Summer Event: Absolute Power – Upcoming Comics Review and Ratings
DC Comics Announces 2024 Summer Event: Absolute Power Takes Over Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman
DC Comics has recently announced their upcoming 2024 Summer event, and it seems like the editorial direction is clear – events are now the status quo meant to happen seasonally. The event titled “Absolute Power” is set to take over Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman for three months, with Superman going straight from one big crossover into the next with no breaks.
In 2023 alone, DC had three separate events that promised “The world will never be the same!” This frequent occurrence of major events can make them lose their special or important impact. With each title only having about 12 issues a year, losing a few to a big crossover can be a significant chunk. It might be time to cool it a bit with the constant events.
In the world of upcoming comics, Detective Comics #1082 continues the “Elegy of Sand” storyline, with Batman’s hallucinatory journey becoming more dangerous as he faces unknown threats. Meanwhile, in Gotham, a strange Utopia is blooming as the Orghams hypnotize the public into believing Batman never existed. The question arises – did Gotham ever need Batman in the first place?
Batman: The Brave and the Bold #10 sees Gotham Academy back in session, with Kirk Langstrom, formerly Man-Bat, teaching at the school. However, Man-Bat is menacing the city, leading to a thrilling three-part Batman adventure. The issue also features a conspiracy only Lois Lane could solve and a Batman Black & White tale.
The Penguin #7 delves into the dramatic second chapter of Batman and the Penguin’s first meeting, hinting at a change in their relationship. Is Cobblepot ready to go toe-to-toe with the Dark Knight, or is he already two moves ahead?
Harley Quinn #37 takes readers on a wild ride across the clowniverse as Harley tries to restore her reputation. The issue promises a mix of humor and adventure, with a unique storytelling style.
Overall, the upcoming comics from DC offer a mix of intriguing storylines and new adventures for fans to enjoy. Stay tuned for more updates on these exciting releases!
