Absolute Power: Task Force VII #4 – John Timms Connecting Variant Cover (12 of 12) (2024, DC Comics)
Absolute Power: Task Force VII #4 (August 14, 2024), written by Pornsak Pichetshote with art by Claire Roe and colors by Lee Loughridge, is the fourth issue in DC Comics’ biweekly Absolute Power: Task Force VII limited series, a tie-in to the 2024 Absolute Power crossover event. This issue features the John Timms Connecting Card Stock Virgin Variant Cover, part of a 12-piece connecting cover set spanning all seven issues of the series. The Timms variant, priced at $5.99, showcases a segment of the larger artwork depicting the event’s key characters and themes, making it a collector’s highlight. In the story, Nightwing, Robin, and a resistance team including Voodoo, The Ray, and Ms. Marvelous face Failsafe, a relentless Batman-inspired android, in the abandoned Court of Owls headquarters. The issue explores their fight against Amanda Waller’s Task Force VII, a group of Amazo robots draining metahuman powers, but is critiqued for continuity issues, particularly off-panel developments.


Highlights
  • Nightwing and Robin lead a resistance against Failsafe in the Court of Owls’ maze.
  • John Timms’ Connecting Variant Cover (12 of 12), part of a collectible set.
  • Pornsak Pichetshote’s chilling narrative with Claire Roe’s art.
  • Ties to the Absolute Power event, focusing on Waller’s anti-metahuman campaign.
  • Continuity challenges noted in reviews, impacting story coherence.

Value & Trends
  • Current: The John Timms Connecting Variant (NM) sells for $5–$15 on eBay, with raw standard covers at $4–$10 and CGC 9.8 copies fetching $30–$60. The full 12-part connecting set (raw NM) ranges from $60–$120 due to collector demand for Timms’ art. Newsstand editions or foil variants (e.g., Jorge Jiménez) may command slight premiums.

  • Trends: The Absolute Power event’s conclusion (October 2024) and DC’s All In initiative could drive 10–15% price hikes in 6–12 months, especially for complete Timms variant sets. CGC 9.8 Timms variants may hit $50–$100 in 2–3 years if Nightwing or Failsafe gain focus in DC’s cinematic plans (e.g., Dynamic Duo film). Comic-Con 2025 news could boost demand.
  • Market: Absolute Power tie-ins with Timms’ connecting variants, Nightwing’s leadership role, and event significance are valued by collectors, particularly high-grade or complete variant sets.
Key Characters
  • Nightwing (Dick Grayson): Resistance leader against Failsafe.
  • Robin (Damian Wayne): Key ally in the Court of Owls fight.
  • Voodoo, The Ray, Ms. Marvelous: Unconventional resistance fighters.
  • Failsafe: Batman’s skills in a merciless android form.
