One of the most critically acclaimed recent superhero stories is finally collected along with all-new material! All seven of the original issues of ABSOLUTION are here as well as a huge cover gallery and an all-new Crime Files segment with additional information on John Dusk's allies and most feared villains!

ABSOLUTION introduces John Dusk, a superhero in a world where they're a sanctioned arm of law enforcement.
