The moderator says it's the biggest panel room yet at NYCC. #NYCC #NYCC2026

We're starting with Absolute Green Arrow! Scott, Rafa, translator, Nick Robels, Al Ewing, Che Grayson are here. #NYCC #NYCC2026

The next Absolute Green Arrow arc will focus on the POV of Green Arrow, and a new mystery for the audience. Plus, New black canary one shot! #NYCC #NYCC #comicsky

Correction: not a translator; she's the artist on black canary. She was asked about drawing Black Canary - a kind of character she's always wanted to draw, a very strong female. #NYCC #NYCC2026

Al Ewing is talking about the JSA characters for this universe, and Wildcat had to go on an absolute evil one-shot because it's Darkseid's universe; the older characters have been killed off or corrupted. They're not coming to save the newer characters. #NYCC #NYCC2026

Moving to Absolute Flash, with Nick Robles. @artofnickrobles.bsky.social #NYCC #NYCC2026 #comicsky

Next up for discussion: Cyborg! Robles wanted to bring in more organic and corrupted cyborg aesthetics to take it in a new direction. Lean into anime extremes here and there; that's his biggest influence: anime. #NYCC #NYCC2026 @artofnickrobles.bsky.social #comicsky

Robles was more worried about Cyborg's design than Flash. Was stressing for weeks and wanted him to be perfect. He's so happy with the fan reaction. @artofnickrobles.bsky.social #NYCC #NYCC2026 #comicsky

Asking about Ray Palmer now. Jeff Lemire says he's a tell it like it is character, no sugarcoating. @jefflemire171.bsky.social #NYCC #NYCC2026 #comicsky

Time to talk about Green Lantern! Issue 19 a huge issue for the Absolute universe. #NYCC #NYCC2026 #GreenLantern

Kids love charts, they say. Kids love charts, they say. Sneak peek exclusive coming in a future issue: massive psychic revelation. #NYCC #NYCC2026 #comicsky

All the pieces are on the table, and we can start having them interact with each other. From Sinestro to Martian Manhunter. Kyle Rayner is coming... #NYCC #NYCC2026 #GreenLantern #comicsky

Scott Snyder telling a story. 4 years ago Al [Ewing] pitched Green Lantern to him, but Al had COVID and didn't remember the pitch the next day. #NYCC #NYCC2026 #comicsky

Che Grayson is onto Absolute Catwoman. "Scott and I built Catwoman to be on the rooftops up high, but Cassandra Cain to be on the streets, in the shadows" #NYCC #NYCC2026 #comicsky

Grayson said they are excited to pull layers off Selina. She's not a hero, she's not a villain. She's in survival mode. #NYCC #NYCC2026

Scott asked how it was to build out Catwoman. He said it's a joy to watch them build a better story that he could ever. Loves watching Che and Bengal run with it. #NYCC #NYCC2026 @ssnyder1835.bsky.social @bengalart.bsky.social

Scott Snyder shares how happy he is with the reaction fans have had with the Absolute Universe. Watching the surge around the absolute universe has been the greatest honor of his career. #NYCC #NYCC2026 @ssnyder1835.bsky.social

Scott Snyder says he's on Reddit, reading comments and listening to the fans. This year the absolute universe gets much wilder. We have our foundation, and it's going to get crazy. #NYCC #NYCC2026

Absolute Batman editor Katie Kubert takes the stage. They're bringing out Jason Aaron, Nick Dragotta, Hayden Sherman, Juan Ferrerya, and Frank Tieri. #NYCC #NYCC2026

All issue #25's will be oversized issues. #NYCC #NYCC2026

Batman is going to confront Grimm in his Manor! #NYCC #NYCC2026 #Batman #comicsky

Absolute Batman #25 is really epic, and stuff happens that changes the course of the book. Reveals a lot more about Joker. Issue 25 is 30 pages. Why did they need the extra space? Asking Nick Dragotta and Frank Martin... #NYCC #NYCC2026 #Batman @ssnyder1835.bsky.social

Dragotta - There's only 3 scenes in the whole issue. Pivotal momenta for the characters. Can't say much, doesn't want to spoil it. This is just the first iterations of the Joker #NYCC #NYCC2026 #Batman
