2026 Upper Deck DC Absolute Universe offers the first trading cards from the ultra-popular comics that offer an alternate take on iconic characters and lore.
Produced exclusively for San Diego Comic-Con, the checklist isn’t large by any means. But given how influential many of the books have become, this is an intriguing release.
The 2026 Upper Deck DC Absolute Universe checklist consists of just 15 cards. Each highlights a different superhero or villain from books like Absolute Batman, Absolute Superman and Absolute Wonder Woman. Designs and some of the basic concepts are the same but there’s also an edginess to it as character dynamics are drastically changed.
Every pack comes with a full base set. However, a couple of parallels make for a chase element. Packs also have one additional card. Most are Alpha Rainbow parallels. However, Omega Rainbow versions add extreme rarity with each numbered to just 26 copies.
