🦇 ABSOLUTE BATMAN #22 – A premium variant from one of DC's hottest modern titles and part of the rapidly expanding Absolute Universe.
There are few artist-and-character combinations in modern comics more recognizable than Jim Lee and Batman.
Lee's artwork is instantly identifiable for:
• Incredible detail
• Powerful anatomy
• Dramatic shadows
• Intricate costume rendering
• Dynamic action
• Cinematic composition
• Iconic superhero imagery
His legendary work on Batman: Hush helped establish one of the definitive modern visual interpretations of Batman, Gotham City, and the Dark Knight's supporting cast.
Jim Lee's Batman is muscular, intimidating, highly detailed, and larger than life.
That makes his style a natural fit for the enormous physical presence of Absolute Batman.
This premium edition gives Jim Lee's artwork the showcase it deserves.
The Virgin presentation removes the traditional title logo and front-cover trade dress, allowing the illustration to become the complete focal point.
Then the Foil treatment adds another dimension.
As light moves across the cover, the metallic surface changes the appearance of the artwork, creating highlights and depth that traditional printing simply cannot reproduce.
Foil covers can also be notoriously difficult to photograph accurately, so this is one of those books that may look even better in hand than it does in pictures.
For collectors who purchase variants primarily for the artwork, the Virgin Foil edition is arguably the premium way to own this Jim Lee cover.
Adding significantly to the collectibility of this edition is the Scott Snyder signature.
Snyder's influence on modern Batman is enormous.
His acclaimed Batman work includes:
• The Court of Owls
• City of Owls
• Death of the Family
• Zero Year
• Endgame
And now Snyder is one of the central creative forces behind DC's Absolute Universe and the writer responsible for Absolute Batman.
That makes his signature particularly appropriate on this book.
You have Jim Lee, one of the defining artists of modern Batman, paired with Scott Snyder, one of the defining writers of modern Batman.
Two major pieces of modern Dark Knight history on one premium collectible. 🦇
