The Main Event!
Welcome back to the main event! The fighters are in the ring, and the crowd is electric
Thursday Throwdown In the left corner, a scarred, single-minded warrior fighting for his very soul, it’s the hyper-violent tactician, Absolute Batman #13! This issue, by Scott Snyder and Nick Dragotta, is the penultimate chapter in a dark, brutal saga where Bruce Wayne has been pushed to the edge. He is heavily scarred, infected with the very Venom he plans to use to take down the monstrous Bane. This round is a high-stakes emotional and physical match, featuring the unexpected debut of Catwoman, who serves as a vital emotional counter-balance to Batman's self-destructive path.
On the right, a mystical monarch fighting a battle that determines the future of his entire nation, it’s the Vibranium champion, Ultimate Black Panther #21! This comic, from writer Bryan Hill and artist Stefano Caselli, is a grand-scale bout where T'Challa returns to Wakanda to face the terrifying threat of the Progenitors. His trusted allies, Killmonger and Okoye, are vulnerable as the Vodu-Khan have turned against Wakanda. Black Panther is fighting a war on two fronts—political betrayal and a cosmic threat—relying on his newly revealed, pure connection to Vibranium to turn the tide.
Will it be Absolute Batman #13? Or will it be Ultimate Black Panther #21?
