Absolute Power: Origins #1
In "A Missive to Those We Have Yet to Become," writer John Ridley and artist Alitha Martinez explore the origins of a pivotal figure in the Absolute Power saga, as Amanda confronts personal tragedy by backing a political candidate determined to challenge the era’s costumed vigilantes. With dynamic art by Martinez and inks by Norm Rapmund, this story unfolds in a world where justice is both sought and questioned, all rendered in Andrew Dalhouse’s vivid colors and Steve Wands’ sharp lettering. The cover by Irvin Rodriguez captures the weight of that moment, a silent promise etched in lines and shadow.
