    >Absolute Power #1 (of 4) (On Sale Wednesday, July 3)

    >DC makes its return to Wednesday for the release of new titles with the arrival of Absolute Power #1 at participating comic book shops and e-tailers.

    >The combined powers of Failsafe and the Brainiac Queen have finally given Amanda Waller the ability to capture the powers of every metahuman, whether Super Hero or Super-Villain, on Earth. As chaos erupts in the streets and a massive disinformation campaign sways public opinion, the Suicide Squad commander methodically targets DC’s most powerful Super Heroes and their allies. But despite all that’s facing Superman, Wonder Woman, and other DC metahumans, a resistance is forming, with Batman leading the charge.

    >Mark Waid and Dan Mora are the team behind this must-have debut issue, with a main and variant cover by Mora and additional variant covers by Jim Lee, Stephen Bliss, Puppeteer Lee, Chris Samnee, Chrissie Zullo, Wes Craig, and John Timms.

      She's rather indifferent in the story and is focused on getting her version of the Suicide Squad off the ground.

      Legends was a good idea horribly done and it was mostly carried by the novelty of seeing Bryne draw a lot of DC A-listers after being regarded as a Marvel guy for so long. It was also the first big event after COIE so we got Captain Marvel (Shazam), Blue Beetle the regular DCU together without multiverse hopping. The end is flat out embarrassing.
