DC announced today that several major titles are headed back to press, with new printings of multiple sellout issues arriving in comic shops beginning January 2026. The lineup includes the much-talked-about Absolute Batman 2025 Annual #1, a 10th printing of the blockbuster Absolute Batman #1, and four pivotal chapters from the DC K.O. event.
The oversized Absolute Batman 2025 Annual #1—which features a 30-page lead story written and illustrated by Daniel Warren Johnson, plus additional tales from James Harren and Meredith McClaren—returns with a second printing. Retailers can order a main self-cover ($5.99) using the original Johnson & Mike Spicer cover art with a recolored logo, an open-to-order foil version of that cover ($8.99), a new cardstock variant by Johnson ($5.99), and a foil edition of Johnson’s new artwork ($8.99).
The phenomenon that kicked off the series, Absolute Batman #1 by Scott Snyder and Nick Dragotta, hits an incredible milestone with its 10th printing this January. This edition includes a self-cover ($4.99) featuring Dragotta and Frank Martin’s original cover with refreshed logo colors, along with a new open-to-order cardstock variant by InHyuk Lee ($5.99) and a foil version of Lee’s cover ($7.99).
Four key DC K.O. tie-ins—DC K.O.: Knightfight #1, Justice League Unlimited #12, Superman #31, and The Flash #26—will also receive second printings on February 4. Each will showcase its original Dan Mora cover art with a recolored logo. Pricing will be $3.99 for Knightfight #1, Justice League Unlimited #12, and The Flash #26, with Superman #31 priced at $4.99.
