Absolute Batman Vol. 2: Abomination

In Absolute Batman Vol. 2: Abomination, Batman dives into a chilling crossover of intellect and icy menace as Scott Snyder pairs his icon with Marcos Martin's stark, kinetic art. The story centers on Victor Fries, aka Mr. Freeze, and his unsettling "Absolute Universe" transformation, while Batman uncovers dark links between Ark M, the Joker, and Gotham's deepest evils. As Bruce Wayne infiltrates Ark M, he confronts an old foe with a brutal origin story in Bane, whose plan to break Batman is as cold as the facility’s corridors. The narrative threads reveal how Ark M was meant to mend society but has quietly bred new evil, testing Batman’s resolve and his partnership with Waylon Jones. Collecting issues 7 through 14, this volume blends crime, action, and emotional weight, building toward a pivotal confrontation that redefines Batman’s crusade in the wake of colossal revelations.
