☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis 2025 collection from DC Comics sets the stage for the 'Absolute Power' event by delving into the machinations of Amanda Waller. It gathers the one-shot and tie-in issues that explore Waller's recruitment of key figures like Deadshot and Colonel Rick Flag, as well as her manipulation of metahuman assets and the prison system, laying the groundwork for a conflict that threatens Batman and the entire DC Universe.
In "A Missive to Those We Have Yet to Become," writer John Ridley and artist Alitha Martinez kick off a pivotal chapter in the Absolute Power saga, exploring the origins of Amanda's ambitious and morally complex vision for Task Force X. As global super-heroes emerge, Amanda's strategy takes a dark turn—recruiting super-villains for a high-stakes mission against a foreign power, with consequences that demand difficult choices. Cover by Irvin Rodriguez captures the tension of a world on the brink.
In the wake of personal tragedy, Amanda channels her grief into a quiet but determined push for change—supporting a political candidate who vows to confront the growing presence of costumed vigilantes. Written by a noted voice in the genre and illustrated with emotional precision, this story explores how loss shapes the future, one choice at a time.
In "Squad Up," Amanda’s bold gamble to weaponize super-villains against a foreign government unfolds with high stakes and unpredictable consequences. As the mission spirals beyond control, the team must confront the cost of their choices—before it’s too late.
In "Lock Up," Waller’s Task Force X grapples with an unexpected intrusion as Batman breaches Belle Reve Penitentiary to confront her. As Waller devises new strategies to counter Batman’s tactics, her unwavering commitment to her mission strains her already fragile personal life. The story unfolds with tense precision, balancing high-stakes confrontation and the quiet cost of loyalty.
