Batgirl of Burnside is a bit of a mixed DC Compact Comics edition for multiple reasons

Posted on by Leave a comment

Barbara Gordon’s ready for a fresh start. She’s packing her bags, crossing the bridge, and heading to Gotham’s coolest neighborhood: Burnside. And when a freak fire burns up her costume and gear, Babs has the chance to become a whole new Batgirl!

But she barely slips on her new DIY costume before Batgirl starts trending as Gotham’s first viral vigilante — and attracting a new wave of enemies who want her social-media spotlight for themselves. Meanwhile, the girl beneath the gear’s got a whole new crew of friends, college classes that are kicking her Bat-butt and a dating scene that can make anyone want to swipe left on life.

This bat’s done living in the shadows. But will the bright lights of Burnside burn her for good?

Cameron Stewart, Brenden Fletcher and Babs Tarr reinvent Barbara Gordon from the boots up in Batgirl of Burnside: DC Compact Comics Edition, collecting issues Batgirl #35-45, Batgirl Annual #3, Secret Origins #10 and DC Sneak Peek: Batgirl #1.

Absolute Catwoman #1 Gets a Second Printing as DC announces Absolute Cassandra Cain: The Shadow’s Hand

Posted on by

DC has announced that Absolute Catwoman #1 will be getting a second printing which will arrive in comic shops on July 15. The first printing of DC’s Absolute Catwoman #1 hits shelves on Wednesday, June 10.

The second printing of Absolute Catwoman #1, written by Che Grayson and Scott Snyder with art by Bengal, colors by Giovanna Niro, and letters by Lucas Gattoni, will feature a main cover by Bengal with a recolored logo, along with open-to-order variant covers by Guillem March and Kaare Andrews (foil).

In Absolute Catwoman, Selina Kyle has carved out a good life for herself. Through ingenuity and unmatched skill, she has become the greatest thief the world has ever known. With high-tech gear and weaponry, no vault is too secure and no score is out of reach. But when someone from her past comes knocking, everything she’s built begins to collapse. To survive, Selina must unravel a mystery that takes her across the globe and deep into the shadows of the Absolute Universe.

Catwoman’s reimagined role as the world’s greatest thief, and as one of the most unpredictable players in DC’s Absolute Universe, is earning Selina her Absolute motto: With all the wealth…with all the gear…with all the skills, she is the Absolute Apex Predator! 

Retailers can place orders for Absolute Catwoman #1’s second printing beginning Tuesday, June 9. The second printing arrives in comics shops on July 15, a week after Absolute Catwoman #2. Absolute Catwoman#1’s first printing will be available wherever comic books are sold, while supplies last, beginning Wednesday, June 10.

And with momentum building around Selina’s Absolute debut, DC is also expanding the world around her…

SPINNING OUT FROM ABSOLUTE CATWOMAN COMES ABSOLUTE CASSANDRA CAIN!

DC has also announced a new one-shot spinning out of Absolute Catwoman that will publish between issues #3 and #4 of this six-issue mini-series. Absolute Cassandra Cain: The Shadow’s Hand #1, written by Che Grayson with art and variant cover by Matias Bergara and a main cover by Bengal, will publish on September 9, 2026. Absolute Catwoman will then resume publishing with #4 in October. 

Years ago, The Joker trained with the League of Assassins, and when he learned all he could, he slaughtered everyone. Out of the wreckage rose Lady Shiva and her daughter, Cassandra Cain. Absolute Cassandra Cain: The Shadow’s Hand #1 reveals the origin of the Absolute Universe’s most formidable assassin, and how her story is one that is intertwined with the world’s greatest thief, Selina Kyle!

Absolute Cassandra Cain: The Shadow’s Hand #1

DC has teased there’s more to come for the Absolute Universe in 2026. DC will push its heroes into moments of absolute terror with more stories born from the darkest corners of the DC cosmos, including an event miniseries launching in Q4 2026.
