Article Summary

  • DC Comics unveils Noir Editions for Absolute Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman.
  • Reissued comics feature only inks and letters, with three exclusive cover designs.
  • Noir Editions stripped of classic features push characters to their core essence.
  • Trademark for "Absolute Comics" hints at expanding the DC Absolute line.

As well as the third printing of Absolute Batman #1, and inevitable second printings of Absolute Wonder Woman and Absolute Superman, DC Comics is going to reissue the first issue of each title as a Noir Edition, publishing the comics stripped of colour, with just the inks and letters of the original issues. Each will come with three different covers, including one that is just solid black with the logo. In other related news, DC Comics has registered a trademark for "Absolute Comics". So they are definitely committed to the DC Absolute line going forward. Here's a look at those Absolute Noir covers for all three launch issues. And we can probably expect the same eventually for Absolute Flash, Absolute Green Lantern and Absolute Martian Manhunter. You know, they really should get around to announcing that last one, maybe New York Comic Con would be a good time?
