An Absolute-ly Exclusive Reveal

I go ALL IN on covers!

THREE JUSTICE LEAGUERS WALK INTO A BAR

In October DC will start launching their ABSOLUTE line of comics. A reimagining of their top characters and they’re kicking things off with Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman. A year ago I did my first cover at DC ever with our Exclusive Batman: Off-World #1 and have been waiting to follow it up until these titles were ready to go. Well, that time is now!

I’ve been dying to show these to you all but we were so busy with things around here at Stupid Fresh Mess that we needed to hold off until it calmed down a little. I knew if I starting showing them off Megan and John were going to start getting their inbox flooded with questions and requests and all the other things that come along when you all get excited. So I’ve been waiting. And waiting. And waiting.

I can’t wait anymore. Megan’s probably in her office right now wishing I was procrastinating on this newsletter and NOT sending it out until all the details are ready. Too bad! I’m crushing it at my J O B today and I’m gonna show you all some covers! Just do me a favor, hold off on emailing about the when/what/where/how much/etc so I don’t get in more trouble than I’m probably already in. Boss Lady MH will have all the details for you very soon.

Here’s your first look at my DC Absolute covers! They’ll be available exclusively at Skottieyoung.com

I had a hard time thinking of how to approach these. At first I thought about making them connecting covers. I quickly dropped that idea. Then I started looking around at all the wonderful variants that were already out there for these titles. They’re all so damn cool! That made me think. Similar to my thoughts on my TMNT cover, I knew I wasn’t going to be able to OUT COOL all the other covers. So I’ll do what I do and just make myself laugh. When in doubt, joke it out. That’s what I always say.

Ok, fine. I don’t always say that. I’ve actually never said that. I just wrote it there for the first time. But I think it’s a thing I’ll always say now.

Anyway, I was hunting for the joke for Batman and when I found it, it made sense to use THAT as the connection that tied these three covers together.

I had an ABSOLUTE blast on these cover. See what I did there? Yeah, you did. These were colored and lettered by my long time partners in crime Jean Francois Beaulieu and Nate Piekos!

Here are a few behind the scene looks before you go. Stay tuned for more details in the next newsletter from Megan.
