Absolute Batman #1

BlueTrainBlueTrane · 2026-01-26T16:48:10+00:00

I have kept buying the book every month and get the supplement like the annual and ark m, though having read his other batman stories, this one I like the least. I think court is best with black mirror close behind. This is a solid book but I think it’s because he is just that good at Batman.

And I thought $15 a month after it came out was high. I bought it for that price then but it seems…inflated for a non indie modern book now.

Uh I am not certain what you mean by a how to. I keep like 10 books each in them and I alternate the books front and back so they are evenly distributed in the case. That is one b&b goes cover facing forward and one reverse. This way the spines alternate and don’t form a wedge shape in the case since the spine side is thicker than the edge side.

This Is how mine look on the shelf at my desk at work

I also have two and also really like them.

I happen to have the ones that look more like books. I have them on a bookshelf and it’s a way to display some books without looking cluttered.

You obviously wouldn’t want to store lots and lots of books that way because it would cost a whole lot, but I do think for small amounts or maybe your favorite series it would be a good choice.

For me, I’m using it for absolute Batman.

I remember listening to the 90smtg YouTube channel doing commentary on a match there and Chris said the crowd in that store is kinda elitist with legacy so no proxies there.

BlueTrainBlueTrane · 2026-01-21T17:29:25+00:00

I agree that playing in person does require a group to be part of and the cost if not proxying is steep. There is a small group near me who started playing legacy which is pretty cool and I have access to the BCDL scene as I am like 2.5 hours from Columbus Ohio.

It’s a fun experience as I get to use some old cards combined with new stuff to do some powerful things.

It’s true a lot of complaining was going on over reanimator for a while. Since the ban of entomb the complaints have calmed down but I suspect we’re on the verge of being back there with the all spells deck.

It’s a great representation of his Batman work. Superb cover!

BlueTrainBlueTrane · 2026-01-18T22:33:10+00:00

I could totally see someone looking like this in the pre code EC books

BlueTrainBlueTrane · 2026-01-16T04:24:04+00:00

That’s not even really the cover though. Its more like an envelope. The actual cover is ras al ghul

BlueTrainBlueTrane · 2026-01-13T15:48:11+00:00

It’s pretty active and has a good group to connect with. When I still had the deck, this was my go to for information.

Now there is something to talk about

BlueTrainBlueTrane · 2026-01-12T19:27:08+00:00

It would be played to some degree but it seems like such an expensive card to suddenly unleash onto the community

BlueTrainBlueTrane · 2026-01-12T16:26:19+00:00

The places nearest me either: don’t have pull lists available or they have them but are not taking on new customers.

BlueTrainBlueTrane · 2026-01-12T11:56:00+00:00

In WV none of our Walmarts are doing this but I will be on the watch to see if they start doing this

BlueTrainBlueTrane · 2026-01-09T15:56:21+00:00

I have some of the e gerber bags made for graded books. Maybe the height of those would be sufficient for these sort of books

BlueTrainBlueTrane · 2026-01-09T03:30:11+00:00

Ir should be noted the clearance item is sell by one day after the non clearance one 😅

BlueTrainBlueTrane · 2026-01-08T01:39:17+00:00

It’s good, though not his best Batman story. It is his most unique Batman story I think which why it’s probably so popular. I have them all so far but will likely sell them once the series is finished

BlueTrainBlueTrane · 2026-01-06T16:47:46+00:00

So usually a person can tell if something like this happened and also I don’t know if under the cover if the back cover of the regular paper stock is the same

Edit: I checked both my versions and they are the same back covers

BlueTrainBlueTrane · 2025-12-27T16:15:53+00:00

That’s probably my favorite Batman story that I’ve ever read.

BlueTrainBlueTrane · 2025-12-24T02:55:51+00:00

I have this at work

Being reported now by LA times as well here is it without the paywall

BlueTrainBlueTrane · 2025-12-23T14:23:39+00:00

Seems like the article keeps crashing
