DC Comics will reissue Frank Miller's groundbreaking "The Dark Knight Returns" this summer in another pricey hardcover slipcase volume ala "Absolute Watchman" and the upcoming "Kingdom Come" deluxe edition. "Absolute Dark Knight" will come paired with its somewhat underwhelming sequel "DK2", which looks better and better all the time when compared to Miller's much-ballyhooed "All Star Batman And Robin" series, in which Miller (obviously busy with "Sin City 2" and visits to the "300" set) has given us four largely plotless issues that at least provide Jim Lee fans numerous opportunities to ogle Vicky Vale in clingy outfits (but Jim, what's with all those button-noses?--sooo Michael Turner...). The 512-page tome will also include new-and-vintage sketches, and new commentary, cover and slipcase art by Miller. It hits stores on Aug. 30 and retails for $99.99 U.S.
