Absolute Batman 2025 Annual #1

A massive, armored Batman crouches low against the ground, hammer in hand, as an enormous torch-lit mob of masked figures closes in from every direction — it's an image that radiates raw tension and makes the first annual of this 2025 series feel like a genuine event. Daniel Warren Johnson handles both the writing and art duties inside, and his cover work here captures his signature blend of brutal physicality and high-stakes drama. "Sanctuary" promises a story worthy of the title, and with colors by Mike Spicer casting everything in a smoldering orange glow, this is one annual you won't want to leave on the shelf.
