[SPEAKER_00]: absolute Batman number one is going back to print for a tenth printing.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's it.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's the news.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay fine, there's a little more to it.
[SPEAKER_00]: As the new printing of the massive hit title will include Nick Trigoda and Frank Martin's now iconic main cover with a re-colored logo.
[SPEAKER_00]: A new open-to-order cardstock variant covered by In-Hulk Lee and an open-to-order foil variant covered version of

[SPEAKER_00]: Absolute Batman 2025 annual number 1 DCKO Nightfight number 1 Justice League of Limited number 12 Superman number 31 and the Flash number 26.
[SPEAKER_00]: The latter four all tie-in to DC's ongoing DCKO event and the second printings will hit stores on February 4.
[SPEAKER_00]: While the absolute Batman annual will also hit stores on January 21st.
[UNKNOWN]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_00]: Hot on the heels of Batman's Elseworld's Tails getting collected to Superman's will, too.
[SPEAKER_00]: For ICV-2, the 1,232-page hardcover will collect a lot of stories like speeding bullets, which switched Batman and Superman cowl, which put the man of steel in the middle ages, and the dark side, which found Calale growing up on Apocalypse instead of Earth.
[SPEAKER_00]: However, like the Batman collection, it's interesting to see what's not included.
[SPEAKER_00]: Red Sun, which was written by Martin Malar, and found Superman getting raised in Russia, and most notably Kingdom Come, what of the most acclaimed comic books and elsewhere stories of all time?
[SPEAKER_00]: One possible reason for the exclusion of those stories, Red Sun is getting collected as a compact comics edition next year, while Kingdom Come is currently available in the format.
[SPEAKER_00]: Regardless, the Superman elseworlds on the bus will hit stores on April 7, 2026.
[SPEAKER_00]: Probably, correctly, guessing readers might be interested in a comic book where Dr. Doom is Iron Man, in advance of Avengers Doomsday, where Robert Denny Jr. is playing Dr. Doom, Marvel has recollected an old comic with a new title, her bleeding cool what was previously collected in 2017 as two volumes of infamous Iron Man, written by Brian Michael Bendis,
[SPEAKER_00]: will now be released as one volume titled Infamous Iron Man The Rise of Doom.
[SPEAKER_00]: However, potential readers should also note that the plot of the comic has nothing as far as were aware to do with the plot of Doom's day.
[SPEAKER_00]: In the book, Doom tries his hand of being a good guy adopting the identity of Iron Man while Tony Stark is sort of but not actually dead.
[SPEAKER_00]: So if you're looking for clues about the upcoming MCU movie, look elsewhere.
[SPEAKER_00]: But if you want to read a good comic, the new collection will hit stars on July 14, 2026.
[SPEAKER_00]: For comic book club news, I'm Alex Zellman and you always want to read a good comic, right?
[SPEAKER_00]: Me too.
