A stunningly powerful novel of humanity's will to survive against all odds during an epidemic by a winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature.

An International Bestseller - "This is a shattering work by a literary master."--Boston Globe

A city is hit by an epidemic of "white blindness" which spares no one. Authorities confine the blind to an empty mental hospital, but there the criminal element holds everyone captive, stealing food rations and raping women. There is one eyewitness to this nightmare who guides seven strangers--among them a boy with no mother, a girl with dark glasses, a dog of tears--through the barren streets, and the procession becomes as uncanny as the surroundings are harrowing. A magnificent parable of loss and disorientation, Blindness has swept the reading public with its powerful portrayal of our worst appetites and weaknesses--and humanity's ultimately exhilarating spirit.

"This is a an important book, one that is unafraid to face all of the horror of the century."--Washington Post

The Best of the Absolute bunch!
Format: Paperback
What makes this Absolute title work so well is that, despite some reworkings this comic is still 100% Wonder Woman, both in tone and story structure! Don’t get me wrong, I like Ab Batman and Superman but I love this comic! Best Wonder Woman in years!

Diana remains true to her Core!
Format: Hardcover
A truly unique take on the Amazon Princess with stunning visuals, beautiful art and throughly engrossing story. I most appreciate seeing the character of Diana remaining firm even when all the circumstances of her life have changed. Highly recommend to both the new reader and the longtime fan that would enjoy a fresh take on an old friend.

Pretty good, all things considered.
Format: Hardcover
Definitely gets better in the second arc, but the first one is worth picking up nonetheless.

Powerful story that shows a different side of Wonder Woman
Format: Paperback
Loved it!!! I’ve always been a WW fan, and this take shows a side of her that’s both empowering and fierce. The storytelling feels bold and modern without losing what makes her iconic. The artwork is stunning, rich colors and sharp detail that really pull you in. The book itself is quality. Absolute Wonder Woman delivers a story that feels fresh, strong, and unapologetically powerful.

Great take on Wonder Woman
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
The book arrived in perfect condition. The packaging was secure, and there were no dents, creases, or scratches on the cover or pages. This volume is a fantastic addition to the Wonder Woman mythos, with Kelly Thompson bringing a fresh take on Wonder Woman while still respecting everything that makes the character iconic. The artwork deserves just as much praise with the colorful hell aesthetic.
