    Volume 1 - 1st printing. Collects Absolution (2008 Avatar) #0-6.

    Written by Christos Gage. Art and cover by Roberto Viacava.

    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.

    Softcover, 192 pages, full color.

    Volume 2 - 1st printing. "Rubicon!" Collects Absolution: Rubicon (2013 Avatar) #1-5 and Absolution: Happy Kitty Special (2013).

    Written by Christos Gage. Art by Daniel Gete and Paul Duffield. Cover by Daniel Gete.

    Screenwriter CHRISTOS GAGE takes his network television hardboiled crime sensibilities back to the violent world he created to reveal the fate of police superhero turned vigilante, John Dusk.

    With Dusk's fall from grace, every scumbag lawyer in the city is leading the charge to have the criminals he put away released from prison. But the thugs are finding that life behind bars is safer than facing Dusk's brand of permanent justice on the streets. As the body count increases, the former friends and loves in Dusk's life face the difficult challenge of trying to bring in one of their own. With a bounty on his head and pressure mounting for his arrest, the authorities take an insane chance by unleashing an unstoppable maniac to take him down. But sometimes the cure can be far worse than the disease.

    This collection also features the Happy Kitty origin special issue! John Dusk continues his slide into darkness with this all new collection.

    Softcover, 144 pages, full color.

    Cover price $19.99.
