John Dusk''s life continues to unravel as he finds himself in combat against his former teammates. Has he finally snapped? And even if he survives, is there any hope of salvaging some kind of life...or will he become a fugitive criminal like those he once hunted? The searing saga of Absolution rockets to its conclusion...don''t miss the book Ed Brubaker calls "my favorite thing from Christos Gage so far"! John always knew there would come a time when he had to choose between his two lives. That time is now. And either way, there''s no going back.

CHRISTOS GAGE has redefined vigilante fiction with his hard boiled crime noir style and violent superhuman action. The Urban Legend is dead. Happy Kitty is MIA. And John Dusk is broken. The Polymath is an unstoppable bloodthirsty maniac and no one can take him down. But when John Dusk proclaims a crime ridden neighborhood under his protection he does more than clean up the streets. He calls a murdering madman out…

CHRISTOS GAGE rocked the comics'' community with the events of Absolution: Rubicon! From the ashes of the Polymath''s rampage comes the first special origin issue of fan-favorite character, Happy Kitty! Gage is joined by fan-favorite artist Paul (Freakangels) Duffield who illustrates and colors this issue. She''s just an average teenage girl who likes to play violent video games... with one small exception. She''s also an Enhancile with the gift of agility and precognition that was raised by killers and likes to cut bad people up into tiny cat nip sized bits. Before Happy Kitty finds her new way in life as an enforcer for John Dusk, we are treated to a unique story that reveals how a special little girl became the most ruthless assassin Japan has ever known. I bet the story is killer... hehehehe.

The final showdown with The Polymath here and no one is safe from his murderous rampage. CHRISTOS GAGE’s world of Absolution takes no prisoners as super powered cop turned vigilante, John Dusk, must find a way to stop the unstoppable juggernaut. The Polymath has seemingly evolved beyond death…he is invulnerable to all known weapons and is hell bent on making Dusk his next victim.

The Polymath is murdering everyone in his path and laying waste to the city. John Dusk is determined to take him down again, but how can you stop a madman that is immune to every form of violence he’s faced in the past? Heroes fall, legends die, and innocents are buried beneath the tides of violence. The body count continues to build as CHRISTOS GAGE returns to his violent crime filled and adrenaline fueled world.
