Absolute Batman #5 (2025) 1st Print Dragotta Martin Cover – A Collector’s EssentialStep into the heart of DC’s Absolute Universe with Absolute Batman #5 (2025) 1st Print Dragotta Martin Cover, available exclusively at VegasComics.com. Written by Scott Snyder and illustrated by Nick Dragotta, with Frank Martin’s vibrant colors, this issue is the penultimate chapter of “The Zoo” arc, reimagining Bruce Wayne as a 24-year-old blue-collar vigilante. The Dragotta Martin cover, lauded by Snyder on X, makes this a must-have for collectors and investors.Key Appearances
Absolute Batman #5 escalates the battle against the Party Animals, with Bruce and a reimagined Alfred Pennyworth uncovering the origins of Ark M and its ties to a young scientist, Victor Fries (Mr. Freeze). It introduces Julia Pennyworth’s first appearance, a key addition noted on eBay, and sets up Absolute Bane’s debut in #6. Praised on Reddit with a 9.8/10 rating and part of the 2024 Eisner-nominated “Best New Series,” its sellout streak (all issues to date) underscores its demand.
Current Value
Released February 12, 2025, the Absolute Batman #5 1st Print Dragotta Martin Cover is valued at $12–$18 in NM- to NM/M (9.2–9.8) condition on eBay, with foil variants fetching $15–$22 due to their limited run and vibrant design, as seen in listings from Triple T Collectibles. CGC 9.8 copies, often with acrylic backers, command $40–$60, reflecting the series’ 400,000-copy sales milestone for #1 by late 2024.
Expected Value and Trends
The issue’s value is set to rise, driven by the Absolute Universe’s popularity and DC’s 2025 initiatives. Dragotta and Martin’s covers, with #1’s original art selling for $70,000, consistently appreciate. Events like Fan Expo Cleveland 2025 and DC’s “Summer of Superman” campaign may boost visibility, potentially increasing values by 20–30% within 12–18 months, with CGC-graded copies hitting $25–$45. The release of Absolute Green Lantern (March 2025) and the Absolute Batman #1-7 hardcover collection will further enhance its long-term potential.
