DC Assembles Its Absolute Universe Heroes Under Martian Manhunter in Absolute Justice

DC closed out its NYCC 2026 panel with the reveal of Absolute Justice, a new team-up series pulling together heroes from across the Absolute Universe — the line that's already made breakout hits of Absolute Batman and Absolute Superman.

J'onn J'onzz, this universe's version of Martian Manhunter, drives the team's formation, giving the roster a very different center of gravity than the Justice League readers know from the main DC line. Creators stressed that Absolute Justice is being built to run alongside the existing ongoing series rather than interrupt them with a crossover.

The announcement landed alongside a wave of other Absolute Universe news out of the same panel, including one-shots for Absolute Black Canary and Absolute Evil, plus confirmation that Absolute Batman is taking a one-issue break before Cliff Chiang steps in to draw issue #26.

No creative team or release date has been attached to Absolute Justice yet.
