The next phase of Dawn of DC has been announced and, if you've been paying attention to recent developments in the comics then it should come as no surprise who the main antagonist is: 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Amanda Waller.

Writer Mark Waid and artist Dan Mora are uniting for Absolute Power, a new four-issue limited event series launching in July.🍰 Before that, however, will come two special issues. The 2024 Absolute Power Free Comic Book Day Special Edition is available on - you guessed it - Free Comic Book Day, which falls on Saturday May 4. The issue contains a new 12-page story by Waid with art by Mikel Janí๊n, as well as a recap of things that have led up to this event, and a preview of Absolute Power #1. 

It will be followed in June by the Absolute Power: Ground Zero one-shot, which is said to bridge the gap between the conclusion of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Superman 'House of Brainiac' arc a𒐪nd with Waller's plans in Absolute Power. Here's Mora's covers for𝕴 both of these special issues.

"The Wall" has been a core component of many different stories over the last year or so, most notably the Titans: Beast World crossver event. N🉐ow it sounds like her plans are about to come to fruition. DC's synopsis for the event stat♋es:

"Throughout the Dawn of DC, Amanda Waller's combination of pure ruthlessness and dangerous alliances has placed her on the preꦆcipice of fulfilling her pledge - the elimination of all metahuman abilities planetwide. This summer, her plans take a major step forward with Absolute Power, DC's big summer blockbuster."

Here are some work in progress pagꦉes from Absolute Power.
