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…
