DC Comics' April solicitations, released yesterday afternoon, confirm what some of us began speculating a couple of weeks ago: that the publisher is releasing Promethea, by Alan Moore and J.H. Williams III, as Absolute editions.

Yes, the listing for the first of three volumes is there, somewhere between the new edition of Point Blank and the first issue of the Seaguy: The Slaves of Mickey Eye miniseries. (Although listed with the April comics, Absolute Promethea won't be released until September.)

There's one problem, though: The art paired with the solicitation isn't the actual cover art. Thankfully, Williams quickly fixes that oversight by rolling out the real cover art -- in color and black-and-white versions. He says the final slipcase cover will have gold-embossed ink.
