DC Announces a Shocking Turn for the Multiverse with DC All In Special #1
DC Unveils "Absolute" Multiverse Featuring Altered Versions of Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman
Get ready, comic book fans! DC Comics is shaking things up with its latest announcement: the release of DC All In Special #1, a 64-page "mega event" that promises a fresh start for the DC universe. This special issue, set to hit stores on October 2, will feature a unique design, with different covers on both the front and back, and will serve as a catalyst for a line-wide initiative.
The brainchild of writers Scott Snyder and Joshua Williamson, this epic tale will introduce a new dimension in the DC Multiverse: the "Absolute Universe." Darkseid's return to Earth will fracture the current reality, creating a world where DC's heroes face greater challenges and have fewer advantages than ever before. This new reality will pave the way for three brand-new titles based on the classic trinity, offering a gritty, Hubert Selby, Jr.-inspired take on our favorite heroes.
In the Absolute Universe, Batman is stripped of his wealth, mansion, and butler, forcing him to rely on skills other than his wallet. Absolute Batman #1, scheduled for release on October 9, will delve into this unique take on the Dark Knight, written by Scott Snyder with art by Nick Dragotta.
Wonder Woman, too, has been affected by this new world order. Without the paradise of her upbringing or the sisterhood that shaped her, her purpose and identity are up for grabs. Absolute Wonder Woman #1, slated for release on October 23, will be penned by Kelly Thompson with art by Hayden Sherman.
The Absolute Universe's Superman won't have a home, a family, or a Fortress of Solitude, leaving him to grapple with truth, justice, and a better tomorrow in this harsh new world. Absolute Superman #1, due out on November 6, promises to introduce an intriguing take on the Man of Steel, written by Jason Aaron with art by Rafa Sandoval.
DC Comics encourages fans to embrace this bold new direction, which offers an exciting opportunity to rediscover their love for DC's Super Heroes with captivating stories across the line.

The upcoming DC Comics release, DC All In Special #1, designed with dual covers, heralds the introduction of the "Absolute Universe" – a new dimension in the DC Multiverse.
