[QUESTION] Will Absolute Batman #8 & #9 end up getting reprints?
Hello r/DCcomics!
After mostly reading comics in collected and digital formats, I finally decided to take the plunge into collecting physical ongoing comics with the current All In after seeing that the Absolute titles were getting a massive wave of reprints the last month or so. Whilst both Absolute Wonder Woman and Absolute Superman have been reprinted up to (and including) their 10th issues, I've noticed Absolute Batman has only been reprinted up to its 7th. I've been checking League of Comic Geeks frantically every day or so to see if issue #8 onwards would be receiving reprints without much luck. However, I've just noticed that issues #10 and #11 are now receiving second printings, but issues #8 and #9 are being skipped over.
Now, since I'm new to collecting ongoing comics, I'm confused as to why DC is skipping to reprinting #10 and #11, but not #8 and #9 (especially since #8 looks to be the second part in a 2 part story continued from #7), and am wondering what the likelihood is that these issues will be reprinted and how long it will take DC to get around to printing them. I'm sure the answer is to wait and see, but I still figured I'd turn to the community for an answer to quash my fears.
Anyway, this has become entirely too long-winded, so I'll finally just turn the question over to you guys: what is the likelihood that Absolute Batman #8 & #9 will receive reprints, and how long will it take for DC to reprint them if they do?
Thanks in advance for answers!
P.S. I hope I've marked this with the right flair. I know there's usually a weekly pinned thread for questions, but I haven't been able to find it (hence this thread lol), and there isn't a flair for questions so I just went with "discussion." Just want to make sure I'm not going against any subreddit rules.
