Today, I want to talk about something I did recently – reading “Absolute Batman.” So, I’m a big fan of comic books, and Batman has always been one of my favorite characters. I heard a lot of buzz about this “Absolute Batman” series, and I finally decided to give it a shot.
First off, I had to figure out where to even start. I mean, there are tons of Batman comics out there. After doing some digging around, I found out that “Batman: Year One” is considered a good starting point. Some folks also recommended “The Long Halloween” and a few stories from “Legends of the Dark Knight” like “Shaman,” “Prey,” and “Venom.” Sounded like a plan to me.

Next, I had to decide how I was going to read it. There are basically three ways: print comics, trade paperbacks, or digital comics. I went with the digital route because it’s just more convenient for me. I found this subscription thing called DC Universe Infinite, which lets you read comics on your phone or tablet. They even had a free trial, so I signed up for that. Turns out you can read “Absolute Batman #1” with this free trial, pretty sweet deal.
So, I started reading. And let me tell you, it was awesome! The story, the art, everything was just top-notch. I was hooked from the first page. I literally dived into the world of Batman. I read through the whole thing in one sitting. I couldn’t put it down.
- Decided to read “Absolute Batman.”
- Researched the best starting point.
- Chose to read it digitally.
- Signed up for a free trial of DC Universe Infinite.
- Read “Absolute Batman #1.”
- Enjoyed it very much and got the cover variants.
Here’s a quick rundown of what I did:
I’m really excited to see where this series goes. I heard the next issue is coming out on November 13th, and you bet I’ll be picking it up. If I had to rate this first issue, I’d give it a solid 9.5 out of 10. It’s definitely a must-read for any Batman fan, or even anyone who’s just getting into comics. I also picked up two cover variants, because why not? I’m a bit of a collector when it comes to these things.
This whole experience got me thinking about how cool it would be to see other characters get the “Absolute” treatment. Fingers crossed for that! Anyway, that’s my little adventure with “Absolute Batman.” Hope you guys enjoyed hearing about it. If you’re a comic book fan, definitely check this one out!
