概要

# Comic Book Excitement Builds This Week

The comic book world has been buzzing with major announcements and releases that showcase the industry's continued momentum heading into spring.

DC Comics' Absolute Universe continues its remarkable success story. The publisher has announced that no fewer than 50 single issues across the Absolute line are being sent back to press to meet overwhelming customer demand. Absolute Batman leads the charge with its 11th printing, while other titles like Absolute Wonder Woman and Absolute Superman are also receiving multiple reprintings. These reprints will hit stores throughout March, with the first wave arriving on March 4th. The timing couldn't be better, as the Absolute characters are set to meet the core DC trinity face-to-face for the first time in DC K.O. number 4, releasing February 11th. This crossover event is expected to drive even more interest in these alternate universe heroes.

Speaking of February 11th releases, Wonder Woman fans have something special to anticipate. Absolute Wonder Woman's 2026 Annual arrives on shelves and digital platforms that same day. Breakout artist Mattia de Iulis returns to deliver what's being described as a visually spectacular epic exploring mythological crimes and personal redemption. The story follows Diana as she seeks answers from the gods about her experience briefly becoming Medusa while saving Gateway City.

Marvel isn't sitting idle either. The publisher is making significant changes to its X-Men: The Messiah Trilogy Omnibus for the 2026 printing. The new edition removes Cable issues 11-12 and the Messiah Complex Mutant Files, which don't directly tie into the trilogy, while adding X-Men: Blind Science and X-Men: Hellbound storylines that historically haven't been included before. The revised omnibus will contain 1,160 pages, up by 48 pages from the previous edition, with no price increase.

Meanwhile, Alex Ross, the acclaimed artist behind Fantastic Four: Full Circle, is diving into his next ambitious project. Marvel Dimensions, a 112-page graphic novel arriving in September, promises to be a wild, experimental ride featuring up to 200 character variations and wild twists on Spider-Man, Hulk, Wolverine, and Iron Man origins. Ross has been working on the book for 18 months, and he promises readers will experience multiple art styles and even a traditional 32-page comic embedded within the graphic novel itself.

Additionally, Kurt Busiek and Alex Ross' groundbreaking 1993-94 miniseries Marvels is getting a brand new novelization treatment from Abrams ComicArts in May 2026. Written by Steve Darnall, who co-wrote the original proposal with Ross, this marks the first time the classic series about photographer Phil Sheldon witnessing Marvel's superhero history will be adapted into prose form.
