Cassandra Cain steps into the Absolute Universe
DC also revealed a new one-shot connected directly to the events of Absolute Catwoman.
Absolute Cassandra Cain: The Shadow’s Hand #1 will be written by Che Grayson with artwork and a variant cover by Matias Bergara. Bengal will provide the main cover. The issue is scheduled to release on September 9 and will bridge the gap between Absolute Catwoman #3 and #4.
The one-shot explores the origin of Cassandra Cain within the Absolute Universe. According to DC, the story begins years earlier when the Joker trained with the League of Assassins before slaughtering its members after learning everything he could. From that devastation emerged Lady Shiva and her daughter Cassandra Cain.
The issue will examine how Cassandra became one of the world’s most formidable assassins and reveal the connection between her and Selina Kyle.
