Bump if you're reading.
>>150847963Are we supposed to recognise what this ship is? It looks familiar
And that's it. If you liked this, support your LCS or whatever.
>>150847912Oh they’re FUCKING
>>150847989Thank you so much, anon.Schizo Eobard and more insinuations that Barry and Eleanore were together
>>150847988Its the legion of doom's base retard
Eleanore here has non futa faggotry Reika Kitami Aura
>>150847888Man, Darkseid really has it out for the JSA in this universe.
>>150847927>>150847931I can't wait for Absolute Sivana to reinvent the mathematical equation for walking through walls.
>>150847973While morally questionable, it's interesting that Thawne seems to be the less radical one in their relationship. While Barry is slightly more sane, but you can see that he's starting to get more lured more to the radicalism and obsession of Eobard.
>>150847989The art here made it hard to parse but oh, it’s just a fucking Geoff Johns lightning callback
>>150848279I’m always a slut for Barry/Eobard parallels (and I’ll accept any Barry/Thawne)
>>150847963AYYYS
>>150847989that's kinda fucked up future barry telling himself he needs to sacrifice wally, but then again darkseid ismakes barry's friendship intentions predatory
>>150848372That page is REALLY muddled for some reason, I thought it was saying that Wally is the chosen one, not Barry
>Barry was fucking Thawne this whole timeWhat was Eobard’s goal in having Barry blow his load inside his granddaughter?Why did he do it?
>>150848420While I was more interested in Barry/Elenore when I thought she was a genderflipped Eobard, my vindication is immeasurable.Somewhere, Eobard is seething thar Barry isn’t blowing his load inside of him even as he goes “atta girl” to his granddaughter
>>150848468kek
>>150847963This book isn't terrible but it brings up way more questions than it does answers on top of being slow paced, hope we start getting a payoff to all this setup soon
>>150847963no fucking way
>>150847830bump
>>150847927>>150847931groomer alert
Interesting that this is one of the better issues for the series and it's the one that focuses mostly on Barry and less on the protagonist.
>>150847834First mention of the Absolute atom
>>150847824Hideous cover
>>150847824I'm a few issues behind but I've found this book BORING so far. Hope it gets better
>>150848572yes it is.
>we're at issue 8 and thawne still hasnt molested wallyAxe it already.
>>150848840I am surprised how this book feels slower than Absolute Green Lantern somehow
>>150849120GL started exposition dumping how shit works a couple chapters ago, it started out even slower than Flash though imo
>>150847843Elenore Thawne sexo
>>150847843oh yeah, they did
>blue trinityWhere's Lemire going with this I wonderhttps://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Blue_Trinity
>>150849187It doesn't have to do with these three?>>150847939
>>150847824Flash is probably the worst high-profile DC character. He never had a good run, never had anything memorable except dying in a cash grab. What a shitty character. And the fact that he's Midwestern doesn't explain why he's boring. There's a crazy Sherlock Holmes story involving Mormons, Sandy Petersen, Karl Malone, and Mormonism in general. Midwest lore, to me as an outsider (I'm not American), is fucking cool.

Reminder that the second volume's entire plot got spoiled by some careless dumbass when they wrote the collected edition description before being corrected
>>150849079She’s still not over no longer fucking Barry, give her time to consider Wally as a viable candidate
>>150847830Ok
>Second printings coming for Absolute Flash #6, Absolute Green Lantern #5 and Absolute Martian Manhunter #6, all with recoloured versions of the original covers by the series artists Nick Robles, Jahnoy Lindsay and Javier Rodriguez, all for the 5th of November.
I'm really liking it but the pacing is reeeeeally bad.
>>150848840Honestly, the thing about Absolute Flash is that they took the wealth away from Batman, the earth family away from Superman, and the island from Wonder Woman. What even is there to take away from the Flash, by comparison? They settled on taking away the mentor but they're still focusing this much on Barry despite him being dead-ish. It's disappointing.
The Absolute Universe makes no sense.>Theres a particle that’s evil and it somehow rewards being evilLike, how does that work?
>>150849823Absolute Flash doesn't have the speedforce, I guess. Whatever this speed stuff is, it isn't the speedforce apparently.
>>150849943Think of it like a universe ruled by a malevolent god, who rewards bad deeds instead of good onesExcept Dongseid himself also believes that true heroes should be able to rise up against all odds and succeed so I dunno
>>150850022Yeah but HOW?
>>150850022>Except Dongseid himself also believes that true heroes should be able to rise up against all odds and succeed so I dunnoDarkseid is just flipping the board. If you really wanna be a hero in his universe, you'll have to give your all or you end up dead (Ollie, most of JSA).
>>150850119So basically he’s going “Aight let’s set the universe to hard mode and see what happens.”
>>150848694Barry and Elenore are so much more interesting than Wally, sorry Wally fans
>>150850160Yeah
>>150847989Who the heck this? What is going on?
>>150850119>Darkseid is just flipping the board. If you really wanna be a hero in his universeDC doesn't know what it wants Darkseid to be. Or rather Snyder doesn't. >If Darkseid is evil or fascism or whatever big negative personified, then he wouldn't want heroics at all>There is no need for their to be heros for him to defeat and overcome to feel good because he did that creating this universe>the purpose of this universe was to reach the peak of the anit-life equation, which is that there is no point to life...It's just dumb reverse role shit all over again. Earth 3 shit with less sense oddly. Synder doesn't think his shit, though and neither do any of the writers. "What if Darkseid created a universe and won?" Well there are no stories with that premise. It's a good way to write off Darkseid and make him something that is visited when needed though.
>>150848147what does this mean?
>>150848468If Barry raped Eobard how would he react?
>>150850455I'm guessing.>Eleanore has the energy of the evil blonde nurse from Bible Black minus the fat fucking cock.
>>150850306Darkseid didn’t create the Absolute Universe.It’s just a universe full of his essence
>>150850119>>150850160Pretty much.Darkseid knows that not everyone’s going to make it (See: Ollie and Wesley) and some will cave in (See: Hawkman and Wildcat). Just like how life can adapt to the worst possible environments, Darkseid is essentially creating hardier superheroes that are completely driven by pure determination. This also limits the amount of heroes out there that would try to resist his own fingertips on the scales of things.
>>150850672It'd be a compliment to label your reasoning pedantic. I'll be nice and call it that. He created the universe. He made he machine with his own blood which resulted in giving him what he wanted. The idea works as a way to zone Darkseid out of the main continuity nicely. But instead it's being used to make another elseworlds to then be used to do anther Crisis event.
>>150847912This scene could have featured them both lying in bed and it would have been the exact same. Jokes aside, I do wonder if Elenore actually cared for Barry as a person at all or only saw him as a means to fullfil her grandfather's vision.
>>150850721He didn’t create it, he took over the nascent universe and basically infused it with his essence.
>>150850721>make another elseworldsAnon… you do realize that before Darkseid merged with the Absolute universe, it was literally called the “Elseworld”, right?
>>150850871Do you understand the difference between a meta naming convention and an in world one? Can you tell fantasy from reality or is not being able to discern that the superpower you've chosen for yourself? I was referring to the imprint. Put your fingers away. >>150850854Your father didn't create you. He infused your mother with his essence. A mistake in any way you try to phrase it, pedantic or not.
>>150847894>Immediatly pull a BarbaraWhat's his problem?
>>150847947Is the red matter Darkseid's omega beam?
>>150850258Everyone in the book is more interesting than Wally at the moment, all Wally's been doing is running away from his dad and having panic attacks. I'm assuming once we get past this intro arc and we're done with this plot point he'll be better, I guess he'll be shacking up with the Dibnys at their orphanage or something
>>150848420It's Eobard so there'll be some time travel fuckery going on, either Eleanor is also his mother or grandmother and she fucks Barry to guarantee his own birthOr Eleanor somehow is Eobard
>>150851140>Do you understand the difference between a meta naming convention and an in world one? Can you tell fantasy from reality or is not being able to discern that the superpower you've chosen for yourself? I was referring to the imprint.>Your father didn't create you. He infused your mother with his essence. A mistake in any way you try to phrase it, pedantic or not.I prefer if you spoke less like a faggot, faggot. At least people would comprehend you.
>>150847834ATOM MENTIONED
>>150849823I think they took away the legacy
>>150847869Interesting that Eobard is from the past here instead of the future.
>>150851643>At least people would comprehend you.You can barely follow a fucking comic book my friend. You don't represent the mean average of what actual people comprehend.
>>150847963MEANWHILE AT THE LEGION OF DOOM
>>150847963Didn't wonder woman already create the legion of doom
>>150851140He literally did not create the universe. He doesn’t directly control it. Its more like his essence influences reality
>>150851765>He literally did not create the universeHe did. You're just too stupid to follow or you think saying "using his essence" is somehow not equivalent to creating. Every single article, video, advertisement and post states Darkseid made the Absolute Universe. Hell, Snyder has retconned it so that every universe DC creates draws from Darkseid meaning he has created more than one. I can't imagine what it must be like to read something with minimal words and tons of pictures but still not be able to decipher it. You're negatively gifted.
>>150851679Congrats, you’re still the biggest faggot in this thread.
>>150851946That might hurt if it came from someone who didn't have trouble following a 20 page picture book. (That's you btw. I know you get confused easily).
>>150851650that's the same thing man
>>150851985You’re the one complaining about Elseworlds when the literal plot device in this comic is centered entirely around a universe where it’s referred to in continuity as “The Elseworld” I think you’re just mad that you forgot that it used to be called that lmfao
>>150851702She created the hall of justice.
>>150851876I don't care what's been said, I care what's been shown. And here, it seems that Darkseid doesn't directly influence the universe
>>150850306>"What if Darkseid created a universe and won?" Well there are no stories with that premiseI know this to be true, because there's no way that Darkseid could, say, raise the son of his counterpart in his slave pits and watch the kid improvise, adapt, and overcome.
>>150853328Yeah Darkseid's weird. He likes to take superheroes and force them to struggle
>>150848136Doesn't look like it
There's still more that happened before the accident. Notice how Elenore doesn't' have the cane
Why the gayface?
>>150847912i feel like part of the reason why elenore has it so out for wally is because she blames him for the death of barry and she loved him
So let me get this straight.>Darkseid got cut off from the multiverse and freaked out.>He then fused with the Specter.>Then got everyone to kill him.>So then he could infect a new universe with his essence on a conceptual level.>While he does not interact with the Absolute Universe directly, he sort of forms it's building blocksThat it? Anyways, I'm liking demiurge Darkseid more than evil overlord Darkseid in all honesty.
>>150850715Would the Absolute trinity have chemistry?
>>150850715But doesn't that world eventually fall to him anyways? So what's the point?
>>150847888So all flashes end up being throw into this pit?
>>150847939Any flash anons here know if these names are a reference to something,?
>>150859858I find it odd that the Absolute Universe is being depicted as "LE FUCKED UP EVIL UNIVERSE" even though it's heroes are probably some of the least morally ambiguous interpretations of them like Superman, Batman, and especially Wonder Woman
>>150859858Darkseid's one of those >it's not enough that I win, everyone else must lose tootypes I guess
So how would Thawne react to her counterpart?
>>150861060He’s a cunt like that.What he created was a universe full of despair and unfairness
>>150862132Technically she's Eoabard's granddaughter, his Absolute counterpart is from the past, not the future.He would probably be jealous she gets to fuck Barry.
Thanks OP
>>150847931> It's free real estate
>>150847824New to this sorta thing. What is Flash like in this Absolute universe?
>>150865363boring, accompanied by chimp grodd, and barely in this issue
>>150865363Ironically, Flash is the slowest moving book.
it shit book good yet
>>150865425poerty
>>150847894>>150851366Why do comic writers think this is a good idea?
>>150865948you mean potrey
>>150866386
weakest absolute book?
>>150869805I mean she's right.Imagine being handed the job of a veteran because you have roughly the same powers
>>150871059>I mean she's right.
>>150870543What about GL?
>>150871078I mean, you try to prove her wrong
>>150865363Wally is a teen, also everyone wants to kill him and he spends every chapter running away from people and having panic attacks. He had a pet psychic monkey who will probably betray him later on. Most readers are waiting for the female villain to molest him also.
>>150873921Yeesh
>>150848765Come on now
>>150848765>traced and gayfaceYes
How does this work
bump
>>150878217What do you mean?
>>150879950How the fuck does the universe reward people who're evil
>>150880139I dont think we know it yet but its probably some mystical shit akin to karma but reversed
>>150847989whomst
>>150880139Anti life
>>150847830>Bump if you're reading.
>>150878194>traced
>>150849120Ironic
>>150847869>science and the supernaturalso this Thawne is a bit like Jack Parsons?
>>150866386She did it on purpose thoughever it was a bait and she took it.
>>150872003The most recent issue of Absolute GL went pretty hard
>>150883774*he i mean
>>150880221Yeah but how
>>150883775Did the art improve?
>>150885207Yes, Absolute Green Lantern 7 had a different artist from the rest of it. It's an issue away from earth, about a cataclysmic space war, with the big reveal at the end that Sinestro is a Gold Lantern and he's coming for /ourguys/. It was a fun issue and a nice surprise.
>>150885431>>150885207They shoved a whole bunch of characters and indirectly explained more of the setting in a small number of pages, relative to the sparse and boring build-up of previous issues. Kilowog, Arisa, and Tomar Re show up. It goes catastrophically bad for a few of them, though.
>>150885611Such is life and death in the Absolute Universe
Why the hell is Absolute Batman gearing up to fight the Ku Klux Klan
>>150886029Darkseid's fault somehow
>>150886124I guess they'll team up with him to take down Bane and Joker then
>>150854874It's only superficially similar, not the exact same.
>>150847963I can definitely see the bad guys becoming the Justice League, but I have no idea how the good guys could possibly use the Legion of Doom name for good.Even if they use the logic that "Doom" just means destiny or fate.
>>150847963I thought this was Jay's helmet, it has the feather bit too
>>150886335The Hieron built by Diana is clearly inspired by the Hall of Justice and not by the Hall of Doom.We only know so far that Batman and Wonder Woman will have a crossover soon, but not anything else. Maybe they'll be the Titans or Gotham Knights or something.
>>150886433I was thinking something closer to the Secret Six like the Tangent Universe.
>>150886433Yeah, but also Absolute Evil literally had the bad guys have a meeting at what's pretty much the Hall of Justice, and calling themselves the Justice League.I'd imagine that if they want to have an exact parallel to that, the good guys would have to be the Legion of Doom.Diana's Hieron might just be for her.
>>150886495>>150886522We will see!
