The Absolute line is absolute doggerel. It's reheated 90's cheese poured over characters regurgitated by Marxists who think being a victim is the highest moral good.

thats why I hate it so much despite liking 90s stuff it doesnt actually have any of the edge or sexuality that was common in that era and everything has a sjw twist on it.

Im not actuallly relying on buzzwords at all I gave a fairly specific point articulated with appropriate words that none of the sexuality or edginess that made the 90s fun is in the new stuff I know you want to hand wave away dissent but unfortunately when I can actually articulate my points that is inconvenient for you. Wonder Woman in the 90s was sexy, Absolute Wonder Woman is covered head to toe and they think this is offset somehow by giving her a big sword.

>>151010995
what?

The team of normalcy, which means white zatanna with long straight hair. Shit I didn’t like that zesty nigga campbell’s book either. Drew her looking mixed.

Darkseid is a canon Wonder Woman simp. That's why she's just regular Superman with a slightly edgier upbringing.

Batman's defining trait which is mostly a plot device is removed without any alternative explanation for his gadgets.
Krypton has a caste system and Superman's symbol of working class. His comic is about class conflict on Earth.

Darkseid has a particular creative vision that I respect, even if I don't enjoy all the time. WW and MM are his best works so far.

>Absolute Batman #13 is getting a second printing on November 26th, also featuring a foil variant.

>DC Comics is sending Absolute Evil #1 back for a second printing on the 11th of November. We also reported that Absolute Batman #2 is getting a seventh printing, Absolute Batman #3 a sixth, Absolute Batman #4 a fifth, Absolute Batman #5, Absolute Batman #6 and Absolute Batman #7 a fourth printing each. Absolute Batman #8 and #9 get a second printing each, all for the 19th of November. As well as Batman #2. And now we have some covers to share. Aren't we lovely?

And? Sales don't equal quality. Only Absolute Batman is actually even doing real numbers. Anon's absolute correct about their political agenda at play. Literally has an issue of Batman fighting the KKK. Which are obvious strawman stand ins for ANYONE right wing.

Nta.
>Only Absolute Batman is actually even doing real numbers.
Prior to Batman Year One in the 1980s, Batman was selling around 75k issues, lows not seen since the 1970s. Year One averaged sales like 190k per issue.

Absolute Batman #1 sold 400k. Obviously that's a #1 but the title is maintaining decent numbers in the hundreds of thousands. Absolute Superman and Wonder Woman are both doing numbers in the hundreds of thousands.

So the sales are actually good and many mainstream DC titles in the past have sold worse numbers.

>Sales don't equal quality
Absolutely true but it does becomes impossible to discuss anything. Someone says thing bad but doesn't offer any analysis or information why a thing is bad, so people talk about metrics of success and someone says they don't count. Round and round we go. Bit pointless, is it not?
>>
>>151004149
He is a bit of cringe edgelord. So you know, kinda like Scott Snyder
>>
>>151019340
No because objective quality exists. The Absolute universe is by & large really bad. Really bad fanfic tier stuff with Batman alone. Wonder Woman & Superman still being good people despite their circumstances work even if the Superman book is really boring class nonsense. Batman without any of his motivations or advantages doesn't work if he's able to make impossible gadgets into his suit or built like a tank despite being a normal guy on paper. That alone makes the premise shit. The writing is even worse with making his villains actual monsters with stupid designs.

You're both retarded.
>>
>>151021020
They don't fucking exist & haven't for decades now. They're a fed honeypot with what small groups actually do exist in backwater areas. It's literally just writer like Snyder saying anyone right wing is a racist. Just like how they call any rightwinger a nazi. That's objectively retarded & evil. It's dehumanization to make excuses to hurt or kill people. Look at all the lunatics that celebrated Charlie Kirk's death because they dismissed him as a nazi.
>>
>>151020231
>because objective quality exists
I mean, come on, you know this is retarded. Prove it. Provide your commandments on what is objective quality in comics.

>Really bad fanfic tier stuff
See this is just boring commentary. It's an Elseworlds shit. Elseworlds do that sort of shit. All your complaints are premise this, surface level that. I don't even like these books, I just think your analysis is based on very little. You don't sound like you've read any of it. It sounds like another classic "judging shit based on some stuff you've seen on /co/ or social media" aka outrage tourism. All you do is say, thing bad. Sure, okay, is there anything more you can actually say?

Like I said at the end of my last post, this shit just goes round and round. I'm just saying, you offer very little in terms of decent analysis or opinion beyond sweeping statements. And it is tiresome. I'm not trying to troll you but challenge you to actually think of some interesting criticism. But like I said, you're just pushing surface level complaining of thing bad.

>>151021020
the kkk hasnt existed for decades. there are virtually no white nationalist groups that exist outside of prison at this point in time. few thousand out of a third of a billion people. meanwhile, crips and blood have 50k members each with ties to international crime groups that handle gun running, drugs, and have no go zones in america they control. similarly, the all mighty latin kings are hispanic supremacist group that are a branch of international cartels that cut heads off and dump bodies in dumpsters and barrels with no go zones in america with tens of thousands of members and more outside the country. thats just 3 groups currently active in america. you can look up numbers on wikipedia or fbi if you want. aryan brotherhood, kkk, etc have hundreds of members, mostly in jail. AB are an illegal cigarette smuggling group mostly. they have no political or social influence nor any base of operation outside prisons. but 100% of all media name them daily and are boogeymen for politicians.
>>
>>151019340
it didnt sell 400k and only a retard believes those fake self reported numbers printed, not sold. reprints are artifical scarcity for hype. they print a couple thousand copies and call it a sold out and back to press and do a 3rd print and 4th etc until the trade for PR. theres a reason everything DC prints is on discount at ollies for couple bucks. its not because they actually sell out or are popular. since diamond gone and covid era, theyve done self reporting fake numbers. no comic sells 100k or more. none. they can tell you they do, but its a lie.
>>
>>151021154
I mean everything you've said is conjecture. Prove it and provide me some evidence to change my mind.
>>
>>151021154
The first printing was 250k and sold out. There are various distributor numbers you can check and yes, they are not fully accurate but you're just calling them lies based on nothing..
>no comic sells 100k or more.
I mean this is just a lie.
