It's that time again! Mark is dropping his next Absolute Batman cover and this time Batgirl is making her entrance!

Dropping tomorrow August 13th!

But because you guys are special, you are going to get your usual hour jump on the drop at 11:00am EST and a special discount code for 10% off your order!

Issue #24 features Batgirl, bringing Barbara Gordon into the world of Absolute Batman. Mark wanted to capture all of the attitude, energy, and personality of Batgirl while putting his own spin on her place in this new Absolute universe.

THIS IS A PRE-ORDER! Books will not ship until after the regular book's release in September.

Please make sure you review our updated Pre-Order Shipping & Fulfillment Timelines before ordering. This includes information on estimated fulfillment windows for raw, signed, remarqued, and CGC-graded books:

Now for all the dirty details. Please read carefully and follow all instructions! CSA and Mark can not be held responsible for any order made in error by not heeding the following. We cannot stress this enough, PLEASE READ EVERYTHING to ensure a successful drop for yourself-

Coupon code is BATGIRL

That's the word BATGIRL in all caps. It's just 7 letters with no spaces, quotation marks, dashes, or anything else. Just BATGIRL for 10% off one order.

The code will only work once for one order. It won't work if you make multiple orders. It is also single use and expires once you use it. Additionally, the code will only be active from 11am-12noon and will only work in the special member's only store! Any attempt to use the code outside these parameters will result in the code not working so please follow these instructions to the letter. We will also not be able to retroactively go in and add the code for you if you forget! So please make sure to enter it.

LIMIT TO 3 ITEMS PER ORDER MAXIMUM! If your order contains more than 3 items with the discount code applied, your order will be cancelled immediately and the books returned to stock. We do this to keep it fair and make sure everyone has a chance to get the book(s) they want.

REMARKED/SKETCHED BOOKS!- We are only allowing one remarked book per order. With only 20 available across the drop, we want to make sure everyone has a chance. If you order more than one remarked book your order will be cancelled and the remarked editions returned to the store. We will be cross referencing email addresses, names, and physical addresses in real time so trying to use more than one account will be caught quickly.

For the link to the secret member's only store:

IMPORTANT-EMAILS WILL NOT GO OUT. A link will be posted in a new separate blog right here in the membership blog area at exactly 11am EST tomorrow August 13th. You will need to be here in the blog section to see it pop up. Because we had so much trouble with people receiving their emails in time, we've decided to keep this on the blog so we can guarantee everyone sees and has access to the link at the same time. We don't have any control over other people's email providers and we found that some people's providers weren't sending them the email until minutes after we actually sent them. We want to avoid that frustration as much as possible so we think this will be the best way going forward.

Please do not share the link! The coupon code will only work for members as will the actual link to the store. If for any reason a non-member places an order, it will be promptly cancelled and refunded and the buyer blocked from all future purchases.

STEPS YOU CAN TAKE TO ENSURE AN EASY DROP!

The link will be posted here for the members only store at 11:00am EST and then in various places around social media including the various Absolute Batman groups on Facebook at 12:00pm noon EST. Once the link is active you can click it to get into the store.

If for any reason the store won't open for you or you are redirected, close your browser fully and reopen it. Also ensure your cache is cleared so your phone or computer doesn't open an older version of the page. Largely this is what causes the page not to load properly.

Also make sure you are entering the private membership store from my actual blog and not anywhere else like the Shopify App. If you use the Shopify App it will not allow you to enter the store for the private pre-sale.

Lastly, make sure you are logged into your membership account! If you are logged out you won't be able to access the store.

DROP DETAILS!

Tomorrow's drop will have 3 editions available-

Foil Trade Dress – $50

Virgin Foil – $65

Virgin Cardstock: $25 - Only available in the bundle! 

Both editions can be bought individually or in bundles. Additionally, both editions can be upgraded to  signed by Mark and Scott Snyder, sketch/remarqued.

All books come with a COA.

We will also be randomly inserting 20 special kanji signature editions that also include a Scott Snyder "Notes from Gotham" blurb to random people that purchased a signed edition. These will be done completely randomly so you automatically have the chance to pull a super rare edition just by purchasing!

BONUS!

Mark has decided to make this drop a little more interesting!

We’re giving away 400 copies of Absolute Green Arrow #4 featuring Mark Brooks’ cover, randomly inserted into orders from this drop — and all of them will even be signed by Mark Brooks!

That means everyone who places an order during this drop has a chance to receive a FREE copy of Absolute Green Arrow #4 in their package.

There’s nothing extra you need to do and no separate entry required. Just order from the Batgirl drop and you’re automatically eligible!

400 BOOKS. RANDOMLY INSERTED. GOOD LUCK!

Be here tomorrow at 11am EST for the link to your secret member's only store and a reminder about the discount code!

See you tomorrow!
