DC’s Epic Crossover Plans Revealed: What You Need to Know!

by

The DC Comics’ Absolute Universe has been an immediate hit, and there are already discussions about a future crossover event. This line of comics hasn’t captivated the world like this in quite some time. Titles such as “Absolute Batman”, “Absolute Superman”, and “Absolute Wonder Woman” are not only popular monthly reads but are also among the best on the market right now. Exciting plans for an expansion of this series have been announced, sparking curiosity about when it will all be combined. However, in a recent newsletter, Jeff Lemire, who is writing the upcoming “Absolute Flash”, has shared some interesting insights. When asked if the Absolute books would converge, he offered a surprising response.

Each week, Lemire gathers online with fellow writers like Scott Snyder, Jason Aaron, Kelly Thompson, Deniz Camp, and Al Ewing. Together, they strategize their upcoming storylines. The coordination among these creators is thrilling, making the anticipation of a future crossover even more intriguing. They aim to approach the crossover in an organized manner, ensuring it’s handled perfectly.

Hurrying through story development has been a challenge that has impacted the caliber of comics in the past. A current illustration of this issue is the abridged Krakoa Era, which was shortened by six months, negatively influencing fans’ enjoyment of the series. While fans are eager to witness Superman in Gotham City or Wonder Woman sprinting across Martian Manhunter, they desire these moments to be epic. DC’s strategic planning clearly demonstrates the level of attention that leads to superior comics, a trait that has defined the Absolute line thus far. However, the crucial part for most readers is Lemire’s subsequent statement, which provides details on when crossovers among Absolute characters will occur.

In Lemire’s “Absolute Flash” #1, the storyline commences at its conclusion. Lemire hints that the end of this book will reveal the origins of a broader link, one that will culminate in the Free Comic Book Day special issue. This special issue features the Absolute Trinity united on its cover for the first time. Since the days of “Blackest Night,” Free Comic Book Day books have been used to preview major events, so the fact that this issue marks the start of the crossover underscores just how significant this event will be.

Ever since DC hinted at a crossover involving the Absolutes, I’ve been intrigued, particularly after the introduction of Absolute Earth in DC All-In #1. Darkseid, being the master strategist he is, wouldn’t construct such a world without a flawless scheme to wield against his greatest adversaries. Moreover, the enigma surrounding Booster Gold and the malevolent Legion of Superheroes, unveiled at the heart of All-In #1, adds another layer of mystery. Lemire setting this story in motion through the Free Comic Book Day book suggests that the burgeoning Absolute titles are about to escalate significantly.

Enthusiastic fans of DC Comics eagerly anticipate the debut of titles such as “Absolute Flash“, “Absolute Martian Manhunter“, and “Absolute Green Lantern“. The collaboration of writers like Lemire, Camp, and Ewing with Aaron, Thompson, and Snyder promises a thrilling journey that only the top creators in the field can deliver. For years now, DC has been delivering quality content, and the Absolute series has been turning gold since its inception. This upcoming crossover seems set to elevate it to producing platinum-quality stories.
