Collecting comics can mean choosing a favorite character, a specific cover treatment, or a limited convention edition-and those priorities point to very different picks here. The key decision is whether you want one of the two DC milestone #25 issues, a limited Absolute Wonder Woman trade tied to San Diego Comic Con, or a Captain America cover-selection option spanning a longer run.
Quick take
The two DC choices share a 10/28/26 presale date, General Audience age level, Brand New condition, and DC Showcase wraparound foil variants. ABSOLUTE WONDER WOMAN #25 is the character-led choice, with Diana's search for Barbara Minerva and the debut of Absolute Cheetah at the center of its description. ABSOLUTE BATMAN #25 is the anniversary-style alternative, framed as a 25-issue celebration involving its heroes, villains, and stakes.
For a more edition-specific direction, Absolute Wonder Woman #20 Dan Quintana Limited To 3000 Trade 2026 SDCC combines a Dan Quintana cover, a stated 3,000-copy limitation, and San Diego Comic Con connection. Captain America (2025) #1-13 Marvel Comics COVER SELECT changes the format of the decision: it offers cover selection across issues #1 through #13, with work credited to Chip Zdarsky and Valerio Schiti.

The displayed range runs from USD 24.99 to USD 99.88. The DC #25 pair sits at the low end, while the Captain America selection is the highest listed-price choice. The limited-to-3,000 Absolute Wonder Woman #20 trade falls between those two points.
Decision matrix
- Pick a character-centered DC milestone issue when you want either Diana's Absolute Cheetah storyline or Absolute Batman's 25-issue celebration, plus a named wraparound foil cover variant.
- Pick the SDCC-focused edition when the Dan Quintana cover, 2026 San Diego Comic Con association, and Limited Edition designation are the main draw.
- Pick the Marvel cover-selection route when Captain America (2025) issues #1 through #13 are more relevant than a single DC milestone issue.
- Use the cover artist as a tie-breaker: Alexander Lozano is named on the Absolute Wonder Woman #25 variant, while Gabriele Dell'Otto is named on the Absolute Batman #25 variant.
Product notes
ABSOLUTE WONDER WOMAN #25 (PRESALE 10/28/26) Cover Select
Choose this issue when your comics collectibles focus is Diana and the next turn in the Heretic arc. The milestone oversized issue brings Barbara Minerva into the story and introduces Absolute Cheetah, making it the clearest narrative-driven pick among the two DC #25 choices. Its CVR G Alexander Lozano DC Showcase Wraparound Foil Variant also gives the issue a specifically named cover treatment. The constraint is timing: the title identifies it as a 10/28/26 presale, so it suits a collector planning around that release rather than someone narrowing the choice by a completed run.
ABSOLUTE BATMAN #25 (PRESALE 10/28/26) Cover Select
Absolute Batman #25 fits a Batman collection that values an issue-number milestone and a broad celebration premise. Its description emphasizes 25 issues, bringing together villains, heroes, and high stakes, while the CVR G Gabriele Dell'Otto DC Showcase Wraparound Foil Variant gives cover-focused collectors a distinct named option. Like the Wonder Woman #25 choice, it is a Brand New General Audience DC Comics issue. Its practical limitation is also in the title: this is a 10/28/26 presale, and its story focus is specifically the Absolute Batman series rather than the Wonder Woman or Captain America material in the comparison.
Absolute Wonder Woman #20 Dan Quintana Limited To 3000 Trade 2026 SDCC *PRESALE
This is the focused pick for collectors drawn to an edition's stated limitation and convention identity. The title and features identify an Absolute Wonder Woman #20 Dan Quintana trade limited to 3,000 copies and connected to 2026 San Diego Comic Con. Hayden Sherman, Jordie Bellaire, and Kelly Thompson are credited, which adds useful creative-team context for an issue-specific selection. It is also explicitly marked unsigned, so it is best matched to shoppers who want the limited trade and Dan Quintana cover rather than a signed copy. The presale designation is another important part of the choice.
Captain America (2025) #1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 Marvel Comics COVER SELECT
Choose the Captain America option for a broader modern superhero run: its title covers issues #1 through #13 and is built around cover selection rather than one named milestone issue. Chip Zdarsky and Valerio Schiti are credited, and the description includes an array of design, Hidden Gem, second-printing, and ratio variant options. It is listed as Brand New and identifies Captain America as Steve Rogers. The trade-off is its USD 99.88 listed price, the highest of the four. It makes the most sense when the draw is Captain America (2025) cover variety across multiple issue numbers.
Final recommendation by use case
For an Absolute Wonder Woman storyline and an Alexander Lozano wraparound foil variant, choose ABSOLUTE WONDER WOMAN #25. For Batman's 25-issue celebration and the Gabriele Dell'Otto cover treatment, choose ABSOLUTE BATMAN #25. Choose the Dan Quintana Limited To 3000 Trade when the SDCC connection and stated 3,000-copy limitation matter most. Pick Captain America (2025) #1-13 COVER SELECT when your priority is selecting from a longer Captain America issue range rather than adding one DC #25 issue.
