One of the most critically acclaimed recent superhero stories is finally collected along with all-new material! All seven of the original issues of ABSOLUTION are here as well as a huge cover gallery and an all-new Crime Files segment with additional information on John Dusk's allies and most feared villains! You've seen Christos Gage's work for Marvel- Wildstorm- IDW- and others- but you've never seen his imagination unleashed with absolutely no restrictions... untiln ow. ABSOLUTION introduces John Dusk- a superhero in a world where they're a sanctioned arm of law enforcement. But this veteran hero has been scarred by his exposure to man's infinite capacity for evil- and he's seen one too many perpetrators escape justice. One day he crosses the line... lets a murderer die... and discovers it feels good. Surrounded by sociopaths- both human and superhuman- who he knows will prey on others if they're not stopped -- permanently -- how far will he go- knowing every step he takes puts him further on a collision course with his teammates Alpha and The Servant- not to mention his homicide detective girlfriend? Drawing on his experience writing for TV crime dramas like Law & Order: SVU- and his years of acclaimed work on comics like G.I. Joe: Cobra- StormWatch: PHD- and Avengers: The Initiative- Gage and artist Roberto Viacava bring you a riveting- no-punches-pulled saga that fans of shows like The Shield and Dexter- or comics such as Powers and Sleeper- won't be able to put down. John Dusk just wants to be forgiven... but he doesn't want to stop. This amazing collection is also available as a Hardcover edition with an all-new cover by artist Juan Jose Ryp that is limited to just 1-500 copies.
