Absolute Power: Task Force VII #7 – John Timms Connecting Variant Cover (11 of 12) (2024, DC Comics)
Absolute Power: Task Force VII #7 (September 25, 2024), written by Dan Watters with art by Fran Galán and colors by Fran Galán, is the seventh and final issue of 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, marked as 11 of 12 in a collectible 12-piece connecting cover set spanning all seven issues of the series. Priced at $5.99, the Timms variant forms part of a larger artwork showcasing key characters and themes of the event, making it a prized collector’s item. The story, titled “Global Guardian,” follows the Trinity of Evil’s (Amanda Waller, Failsafe, and the Brainiac Queen) domination over Earth’s superheroes. Global Guardian, a Task Force VII Amazo, targets non-Earth heroes like J’onn J’onzz (Martian Manhunter) in Berlin, overpowering Eurocorps and the renegade New Global Guardians. A sudden reboot by Failsafe halts Global Guardian mid-battle, but tensions rise as Belphegor (UN-backed Global Guardians) clashes with the renegades. Intercorps intervenes, uniting them via Boom Tube to resist Waller, only for Failsafe to reactivate and pursue them. Critics note the issue’s engaging art and international hero focus but criticize its weak finale and lack of narrative impact on the broader event.


Highlights
  • Global Guardian’s assault on J’onn J’onzz and Eurocorps in Berlin.
  • John Timms’ Connecting Variant Cover (11 of 12), part of a 12-piece set.
  • Dan Watters’ global hero resistance tale with Fran Galán’s vivid art.
  • Failsafe’s reboot and Intercorps’ unification against Waller.
  • Finale of Task Force VII, critiqued for narrative disconnect.
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 at $30–$60. The full 12-part Timms connecting set (raw NM) ranges from $60–$120 due to high demand for the artwork. Foil variants (e.g., Dan Mora) or rare covers may fetch higher premiums.

  • Trends: The Absolute Power event’s end (October 2024) and DC’s All In initiative, launched October 2024, could drive 10–15% price hikes in 6–12 months, especially for complete Timms sets. CGC 9.8 Timms variants may reach $50–$100 in 2–3 years if J’onn J’onzz or Global Guardians gain cinematic traction (e.g., Justice League projects). Comic-Con 2025 exclusives could spike demand.

  • Market: Absolute Power tie-ins with Timms’ connecting variants, international hero focus, and event significance attract collectors, particularly for high-grade copies or full variant sets.
Key Characters
  • J’onn J’onzz (Martian Manhunter): Non-Earth hero targeted by Global Guardian.
  • Global Guardian: Power-absorbing Amazo of Task Force VII.
  • Eurocorps, New Global Guardians: Resistance fighters in Berlin.
  • Belphegor, Intercorps: UN and space-based allies against Waller.
  • Failsafe: Trinity of Evil’s relentless enforcer.
