>>151850217Just finished this. What a gorgeous chapter. I've been looking forward to it, and it did not disappoint.After reading Dark Patterns, I said I hope Hayden Sherman draws The Bat again soon. Well, here it is.

>>151850392Gonna be honest, I wasn't really too optimistic over Absolute Superman and I did it see as a weak link as it went on but I'm gonna be frank. Because of personal reasons, this gave me some feels

>>151850297ABSOLUTE POTENTIALMAN
I did not see that one coming. I thought Ra's had the win. But this is interesting. Absolute Superman has some kind of hemoketic power, and it seems that it may have been given to him by Sol? Uncertain.Either way, the Absolute heroes have big fat asses, confirmed. Dina haters btfo.>her nose is bigShe's 7 feet tall, and everything about her is big.
>>151850282
>>151850161Fuck you faggot
>>151850266Does this mean that there are blue, yellow, etc. "Martians", as well?
>>151850397Absolute Superman has the hardest life, 14 issues of breaking.What's next?
>>151850663Hawkman’s coming to fuck with him.

>>151850684>President Hawkman in a Blackhawk uniformDarkseid!
>>151850397Kino ending, I wonder if that will turn into anything.
>>151850094>Absolute Wonder Woman #15 + Absolute Martian Manhunter #7 + Absolute Superman #14 StorytimeFuck, I have some catching up to do. Thanks for the storytime anon.
>>151850108Every Hayden Sherman book I've ever read has a compositional moment that makes my jaw drop, I can't believe how consistently good he is at setting up panels, generational talent.
All three of these were great, imo.
>>151850536>Absolute Superman has some kind of hemoketic powerI think his emblem was just made of the red crystal dust and he was able to manipulate that into a weapon.
>>151850663I haven't read absolute superman in a few months, but I really wasn't enjoying it, should I make another attempt at getting into it or is it largely the same?
>>151850749Yeah, just great. Loved it.>>151850783We just don't know.
>>151850792Today's issue has a lot of action. The last few issues were pretty high octane. Most of Absolute Superman did suck, you're not wrong. It is worth catching up on.
>>151850377Hawkman is gonna slaughter them isn't he?
>>151850832I read the first "book" of the writers other current major comic, Bug Wars, and it also didn't really capture me as much as I'd like, I think maybe his writing just isn't for me.
>>151850880I haven't read Bug Wars. The whole Absolute Universe is itself an event, going back to Absolute Power and culminating when Darkseid exploded himself in the Justice League Watchtower.Personally, I am keeping up with all of it. Today's books are all very good.
>>151850417Excuse you, that's a MedBVLL nose
>>151850921I'm not sure I've seen anyone even talk about Bug Wars, it never charts either, I don't know how it's still going.
>>151850249Explain to a NEET what exactly is... paperwok? Do you just fill in some sheets with information from another sheet?
>>151850217It feels strange to read an Absolute Beefman story where he isn't just going fucking crazy at every turn, but I kinda like the idea that he'd be pretty casual like then when he's not actively on an obsessive mission. After all, he does have his mother and does (kinda) have a bunch of friends.
>>151851000Holy shit you're so lucky, dude, he's a detective and we *just* got hundreds of pages of the Epstein files released, you can just go and look at what the paperwork is!
>>151850228https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4l-_tBTq9OQ
>>151850443Calm down Agent Johnes
>>151851000like all the calculations for wages and all the stuff you would use microsoft Xl or powerpoint for would need to be put onto physical paper in the past I have no idea what it is nowadays though
>>151850606Not only that but they were all created by getting split on darkseidd cock which is also a prism
>>151850116I'm surprised he can ninja around that well. Surely he never trained under a ninja master in the Himalayas in this continuity. Don't you need a ninja master to become a ninja?
>>151850606It's kind of weird that the martians are doing the color spectrum thing when absolute green lantern exists. Maybe they'll be some sort of convergence of the ideas.
>Diana: "Hi, I'm Diana. Wanna be friends?">Batman: "Okay.">Diana: "Can you show me some murders that have been happening in this town?">Batman: "Okay.">Diana: "Oh no, I'm being controlled!">Batman: "But we're friends now! Friends don't let friends be controlled!">Diana: "Thank you Batman, your friendship saved me.">Batman: "Friends forever."
>>151851515This but it's based and I love it. Wonder Womans superpower is mediation and love.
>>151851523It just feels kinda stiff? Like the entire comic was just systematically checking off a list.
>>151850094Absolute has sold 8.2 million and it’s been a little over a year.What went so right?>“According to figures shared with The Hollywood Reporter, the Absolute Universe line of monthly comics has sold over 8.2 million units in total, not accounting for December sales. Absolute Batman, the flagship title, makes up around 35 percent, close to 3 million, of that total. The first issue of Absolute Batman continues to sell well and is now in its 10th printing, while the latest issue, Absolute Batman No. 15, has orders of over 300,000.”
>>151850133Wow they got chemistry.
>>151850123Is Absolute Batman that much of a detective anyway?
>>151850175>first attack>goes for the neckAll Dianas are Dianas.
>>151850217Interesting middle shape for the middle panel
>>151850094I'm not one to whine about multiple storytimes in one thread but WW should've been separate while MM and Superman could be clumped together. Absolute Batman and WW are the two biggest titles and it's better to make them solo threads
>>151851634Mostly agree, the worst was when absolute batman was pushed back and the bane finale was in the absolute wonder woman thread though, it completely overshadowed the WW discussion.
>>151851569Not yet at least, no. I don't think the implication here is that he is, or at least it seems to be maybe something DIana is picking up on more than something that Bruce thinks is true.
>>151850558Spoon wife. Good life.
>>151851646that thread is exactly the one I had in mind, both flagship titles being grouped together, especially when one was a filler issue and the other was a long-awaited finale, was a terrible idea
>>151850358i forgot it's meant to be Ra's instead of Vandel Savage so his comment about only being 500 years throw me for a loop
>>151850382Considering how corrupt Pakistan is I'm sure he will be out in a couple of issues
>>151850217I dreaded the crossover but I'm pleasantly surprised.
>>151851474Superman also mentions Rao in this issue, which was also used as the name of the Red Spectrum of Light in Absolute Green Lantern

>>151850108>Magic bat symbolCool
>>151851555>>151852088RepostingIf AbsBat 15 is at 300K that tells you Batman makes up 60 percent of the sales if not more. 300K times 15 (and the first issue is much higher) gets you to 50 percent of all the absolute line’s sales.Honestly 8 million over ~50 issues across all titles isnt that good. Especially if you remove Batman that leaves you with 4.6 for ~35 issues.It’s a success but a meager one rather than an explosive one
>>151850094I never understood why the main universe’s Batman calls Diana a princess. It's not like he calls Arthur king or Hal Captain. It feels patronizing
>>151850397>not wearing the fucking costume in the last scene>>151850663>What's next?The buck breaking goes on. Honest opinion? I still think the Absolute line is trash. WW has some fun issues and Brainiac's story in Superman is fucking great, with his whole series was like that. Batman can get fucked with his whole small dick thing.
>>151854105He's flirting.
>>151850217abs batrman reader here who was put off by abs WW, is she always this genial and kind? it's kind of refreshing
>>151854105If you got to hang out and do superhero stuff with a literal warrior goddess you'd call her princess too

>>151852178Your mom sucks when can she get Jamal to put some better genes in her cunt.
>>151854547She's what the story demands of her. People will get mad at me but she's a huge Mary Sue withou much personality, basically fierce warrior against her enemies and kind woman/naive girl/motherly figure towards her friends. The lack of anything between is what irks me, but still she's better than Bats and Supes in the Absolute Universe and better than regular WW who's not even a character, just tits and legs that punches people.
>>151854928you porn addicts are so disgusting
>>151854873He works with a literal king and doesn't call him that. The princess thing sounds like they are very close.
>>151855061They did start the Justice League together.

>>151855420
>>151855249Absolute Bats is what? 6'7"? That makes Absolute Diana like 7 feet tall. Can't wait for Absolute Manlet to stand next to them at half of their height, kek.Hayden Sherman is amazing at page layouts and paneling. I really love everything they do.You can see more of their stuff in Into the Unbeing from Dark Horse, The Few from Image, Blink from Oni. He also did several issues on Ram V's run on Detective Comics, and those are all really cool. It's very creative and psychedelics. He did the issues which focused on the villains from their POV. Two-Face and Ten-Eyed Man. All worth looking up.

>>151856085depends I guess. my ex thought it was funny because I would dry hump her leg while doing it.said it made her feel wanted and attractive that someone would be so turned on by her.
>>151856116I didn't pick up an attractive to armpits until my late 20s, so I've only sucked on one girl's. She did not seem to like it, but she was weird about sex. I can't really use her to gauge general sex views. She's also dead now. Horrific car accident. Thanks for reading my blog.
>>151853351but Bruce already has Selina
>>151856113I wonder which birds will get in there. We've seen Dick Grayson as a paramedic, right? But no other robins as I recall. Hawkman seems all in on the evil justice league.We've seen no indication of the Court of Owls. Not yet, anyway. I'd be surprised if they're not in the Absolute universe, considering Snyder created them, and he's the creative director for this whole project.It would be a cool spin on the main continuity if Bats gets a Talon for a sidekick.Absolute Superman surprised me today. I thought Ra's was going to win and subdue Kal into his service. I can't say I can imagine where it's going from here.
>>151856236Nobody has Selina. That's her thing.
>>151856236Fuck Selina and fuck Batcat. Tom King ruined Cateoman forever. Come to think of it, in all the big Bat story line she is not helping or useful. Just remember when she gave Bane the blueprints for Blackgate and Arkham. Batman beat the living shit out of thrives and criminal but Catwoman gets a pass? So much for Justice.
>>151851000It's pretty broad, could be all kinds of things. For example he could be filing reports, or going over other people's reports, or compiling case files, or reading/answering incoming mail, or doing generic administrative stuff, or whatever.
>>151856315I don't agree. I hate Tom King, too, but his run on Batman was good enough. I think his BatCat was in character for them. It's not like they broke up forever. In the end, it was their team up that saved the day.
>>151856315King also ruined Wonder Woman and is still writing her because of his fucking mother still at the shareholders seat at Warner.Paramount Buying Warner, she and king are out.
>>151856371Netflix is buying Warner.
>>151856315What does that have to do with their absolute counterparts?
>>151856404Not yet, this shitshow will last all of 2026
>>151856417yeah. Makes me glad I prefer reading comics to watching movies.
>>151856360My man, Batman was a cuck in Tom’s run. Needing Catmommy and barely functioning without her. Tye run have Cateoman teach Batman “revenge” as if Batman's greatest line wasn't “I'm vengeance “. Batman’s dad beat the whole family? Old drunk no training beat Cassandra, an assassin, Kate, a literal soldier, and Damian, a fucking weapon. The run was bad Shehulk out-sold it. >>151856371This is another example. Wonder Woman in Tom runs turned into a reckless, non-functioning, retard who is incapable of doing anything without Steve's cock in her mouth. I speed ran the chapter where she created her daughter, I thought it was her idea. Turns out it was Steve’s. Diana isn't a compassionate, kind warrior. Steve’s death has more impact on her than the US killing her sisters on American soil. >>151856407Eh she fucked off with a venom. I know she is going to do some bullshit that rise red flags but Bruce will be a retard to question them.
>>151855940I would love that
>>151856547Hey I didn't say it was perfect. I said it was good enough. There's a lot about it I did not like. Maybe I'm charitable of it since I love Batman. I do think it's better than the rest of his utter tripe.Did you read King's run on The Brave and the Bold. It's one of the most horrible and disgusting books I've ever read. I hate it.
>>151856547Forgot to add. In Tom’s run the Batfamily are treated like worthless shit, nothing, Thomas monologue about them being “just soldiers” while Catwoman is “different she is his whole world” are you serious? Fuck that shit.
>>151850291>Villain group added on the second arc. >5 more issues leftOh this is going to be good
>>151850397>Getting a new suit>Will be mentored by Hawkman soon>Parasite will be here soonLike where this is going.
>>151856360>but his run on Batman was good enoughQuit fucking talking
>>151856635The central thesis for King's Batman was "Batman can do anything, but he can't do it alone." It's not exactly unprecedented for the family to take a backseat in the mainline Batman book.Hey, I love the Batfam, too. Really I enjoy Detective Comics and Batman and Robin more than Batman. King's Batman is not perfect. I hate some parts of it. I hate how he killed off Alfred.I'm not saying this to suck off King. I hate most of what I've read from him. But I thought his Batman run was serviceable, and I think it resonated with the character.I think back to Mask of the Phantasm. Writers don't often explore Bruce's weakness and his emotionality.
>>151856085That’s not a girl, that’s Steve Trevor anon
>>151856702no
>>151856619I love Batman too, but Tom turned Bruce into, and this is literal not a joke, stuttering bitchboy Ho gets beaten by everyone, even Holly.
>>151850397DARKSEIIIIIIIID YOU SON OF A BITCH
>>151852226I am not even going dignify him with a (You). his opinion is trash.
>>151856728It has its ups and downs.He also took back his city from Bane (again) with help from Catwoman. I think that in the end the story affirmed that The Bat has his family because he needs it.I'll say it again: I do hate Tom King's writing. I did think his Batman was good enough.
>>151850133The police haven't gotten out here yet at all?
>>151856706>The central thesis for King's Batman was "Batman can do anything, but he can't do it alone." It's not exactly unprecedented for the family to take a backseat in the mainline Batman book.If that is the case why is Catwoman the centric pillar of the main Batman runWhat Tom did. In the Bane arc, the boys were hanged so Catmommy would tag along with Bruce. When Cateoman left him on the unlter Tom portried ay as “the most heartbreaking moment for Bruce” really? Not his sons' deaths? Then he goes and shoots Dick because no one but Catmommy can help Bruce back on his feet. Bruce punches Tim, then takes a vacation with Catmommy, but not before she sings to him to put him to sleep. In Tom’s run Batman as a character orbits around Catwoman. That was my problem. Tom treated Catwoman as if she the core of Batman character and comics and no one else mattered.
>>151856770> I think that in the end the story affirmed that The Bat has his family because he needs it.Except he didnt. The family got their shits pushed in by alcoholic 70 year old man who has 0 training. The family wasn’t needed because Bruce had Catmommy to help him win. Fuck, she was the one who defeated Bane, not Bruce.
>>151851613Obviously, because Diana is talking about the two of them meeting up with Superman.
>>151856802That is a fair criticism.In the end, Bats' motivation was to take back his city from Bane and to contend with his past in the form of Flashpoint Batman. He wasn't so caught up on Catwoman that he couldn't team up with her for a mission, his mission.>>151856835Okay.Does nobody else care about how Alfred had his neck snapped in front of Damien? Damien loves Alfred. What a fucking thing.I'm thinking of Tomasi's run on Batman and Robin. That had the most characterization that Damien has ever had. They really bonded in that.But ever since, he's devolved back into "oh I'm a trained assassin and I'm better than all of you forever."This after he scoured the sewers of Gotham for a pearl from Martha's necklace to present to his father? I don't buy it.Okay, Tom King sucks.
Is Absolute Superman the Guts of the Absolute Universe
>>151856770I finally found d it. This is it. This is the page the sum up everything about Tom’s run and writing. What I meant by how he treated the Batfamily and how the story was about Catwoman’s importance rather than a Batman story.
>>151856927What do you think about the scene in Mask of the Phantasm, where Bruce was begging his parents at their graves to relieve him of his mission?
>>151856898> I'm thinking of Tomasi's run on Batman and Robin. That had the most characterization that Damien has ever had. They really bonded in that.Finally you got my point. You can enjoy Tom’s run. I get that people have different points of view. But for me Tom ruined every Bat character in favors if Catwoman. For me, if you had to shot on other characters just to make one shine then you failed as a writer. He could have written Catwoman as a great character without hitting on the Batfamily if for god p’s same other heroes, did he really need to write Catwoman defeating 3 Flashs? With one kick”. Scott did a better job with the family. Even after Damian’s death that one chapter with the VR it's heart breaking to little words but we got to see both Bruce and Alfred mourn Damian in a heart-shattering way.
>>151856958That is also my problem with Tom’s run. He brought Andrea to the main “Batman&Catwoman” story just to shit on her and prove she was nothing it's Catwoman and mo o e else matter.
>>151857015Man I think you've got me convinced. I only read King's Batman one time. And I read it before I grew to hate Tom King's writing. If I read it again maybe I'll hate it. I already said I hated parts of it.>>151857043Don't tell me you can watch Selina stay young for 100 years while she whips around Gotham stealing shit and not want her to marry you.
>>151856927not him but that scene has more eight and emotion than the entirety of king’s run.
>>151850358>500 yearsI keep forgetting he isn't Vandal Savage.
>>151857067It's bad. I felt like he wanted to write Catwoman but was forced to write Batman. Batman & Catwoman run was so bad Dc has to come out and say it's an alternate universe and not the main one. Tom shat one last time on the only Bat member, Dick, by writing Catwoman’s daughter bitch slap him. >>151856958One of the best scenes in the Batman TAS. The struggle of young Bruce, the burden of the mission, the desire to be free and normal, that move was a cinematic masterpiece. 10/10
>>151856282The Streets have Selina.
>>151857135Ok I'm done running apologetics for King's Batman.Did you read his run on The Brave and the Bold? It is up there with The Unfunnies as one of the most disgusting comics ever produced.It's a Batman/Joker origin story. It features a cynical and hateful Bruce. It features a Joker as this mystical, mysterious serial killer who just targets children and their parents. It's so fucking gross, man.It ends with Batman visiting Joker in his cell at Arkham. And it shit you not, he says, "This is the start of something. You and me."He might as well have said, "Joker... you and me... will be gay lovers... forever...."I hate it so much.
>>151857187Thanks God I didn't read it. I saw his name and took it out of the cashier's hand and put it back on the shelf. Too bad I really like Mitch Gerads’ art.
>>151857227Good for you, man.
>>151857227>>151857187(Batfags pretending there is a floor to the quality of batshit they will buy and read).
>>151850094She's prutty
>>151857269wrong
>>151857288yeah
>>151857288really if she doesn't dress up as wonder woman and smear her pusy juice all over your face she isn't wife material
>>151850161You are the absolute fucking dogshit stain of /co/
Why are people hating on twitter hating the Absolute Wonder Woman issue. Like it's a nice lil crossover issue, but a nothing burger!? Or "ass" these niggas hate fun
>>151857423go back
>>151850217Great first crossover damn. Far exceeded what I thought it'd be.
>>151857423I liked it, but last month was also a bit fillery for Absolute wonder woman too, I think people just want to dive into a new arc.
>>151855020I can tell you right now you either didn't read or speedread Absolute Woman. Nothing in-between? She's nothing but diplomatic with antagonists if she can help it.Do you know why AWW is crushing Tom King's bullshit? Because she's actually WW
>>151857457Last week's two parter was, but that's par the course for the AWW arcs. It was at least tied to the next upcoming arc. So not really fillery
>>151856718Does Steve Trevor likes when you suck on his armpits? Asking for a female friend.
>>151857538no i dont like it
>>151857572You are such a moron Steve
>>151857596I am very smart actually
>>151854547Yes, yes she is
>>151856927This is bait right? This page is everything wrong with modern comics and particularly king’s comics. This is literally one of the single best examples of why his run is awful.
>>151857620Steve, fren, I think that's Diana and she wants to suck your dick. And totally not Pegasus pretending to be Diana to suck your dick.
>>151857876I'd rather her smother me with her ass than suck on my penis, but that's a personal preference.
>>151850098Bump
>>151850217I liked this, I'll have to pick it up
>>151856802>“the most heartbreaking moment for Bruce” really? Not his sons' deaths?Jezas, the Kingschizo is still here. I remember this same argument spammed ad nauseam back in the day. Of course it would come from a Batfamily fag.
>>151858871>>151856802I didn't read most of King's run (thank God) so I don't know exactly what you fuckers are talking about it, but this idea that Batman need allies is fucking stupid and undermines what makes him cool. It's just as dumb as the whole "we created Robin so kids can relate to someone since Batman is unrelatable". Nigga we want to be Batman because he can do everything alone. Sometimes you may give the hero someone to love and protect, but Batman is not this case. He's a nutjob, there is no Bruce Wayne only the Bat. You give him a wife and kids then it's over, just like marrying James Bond kills the character.
Tom King has not contributed a single worthwhile iota to the DCU, I hope he goes away forever. This reminds me to skip the Faction Batman running now, it’s pretty clear he has no plans to bring Alfred back, kick rocks then.Is Hayden Sherman a FtM transgendered? I see vague pronouns, it presents as a male but they have awfully soft features… not that it really matters, their art is great.
>>151850217holy cringe batman
>>151859267>Tom King has not contributed a single worthwhile iota to mankindftfyI don't know why his shit sells so much, it is hate reading?
>>151859341It’s a mix of people who buy everything be it Batman for DC, new readers which is a smaller portion, and then people with awful taste. Pretty sure Kings run was the lowest point sales wise or at least a large contributing factor to the lowest point it it came after his run. Would love the numbers
I wonder why they're hiding Absolute Aquaman, Atlantis was mentioned in AWW a while back so something is going on with it
>>151850131This version of Batbrick is more twinkish
>>151856698Hawkman is evil
>>151850397Been seeing some mixed reactions to thisPeople saying this issue took away aspects that made Absolute Superman unique
>>151859455That checks. Basically what Marvel being doing to Spider-Man for the last 20 years.
>>151859724Yes I read Absolute evil too. With #16 is about them clashing and #17 cover showing him helping Superman against Parasite we'll have to see.
>>151859819>People saying this issue took away aspects that made Absolute Superman uniqueIt really doesn't. Even thou he was in Smallvile and with the Kents. Still wasn't as long as main universe Kal-El. Also those people will find anything to complain about Absolute Superman
>>151860080I mean it's Jason AaronCapeshit has never really been his strongest suit The decompression was rough and going with Ra's as the main villain didn't help (which also doesn't help given we know he'll come back at some point given he's part of the Absolute Justice League)The Ultimate Wolverine comparisons are harsh though but we'll see if the following issues course correct too hard with the "Use Superman's mythos more" critique since changing the suit, getting rid of Sol, etc are opening the door to said comparisons. At least Parasite looks different (so far, I strongly think he's not gonna go full Mantorok at the start or he has some sort of "base" form)
>>151860151The Ultimate Wolverine comparisons is asinine and I hate it. UW has been a shock value comics while ASM has not. And I've been fine with it but like peoples hate boner for both comics is getting to much idk
>>151860286I'm mixed on absolute superman but Ultimate Wolverine is an absolute turd of a book, it really is an unfair comparison.
Has Absolute Batman mentioned WW or Supes?
>>151860302>it really is an unfair comparison.It is. And this has been my first Introduction to Jason Aarons writing so i'm not as burned as others are (so far he seems fine, but I've heard his horror stories) so I'm keeping one eye open
>>151860370Yeah, the last issue alluded to them.
Calling it nowSol will come back as Absolute Eradictor or Cyborg Superman
>>151860553Either that or Solaris
>>151860151I always assumed Sol was gonna go eventually, he felt like Kal's "training wheels", a bunch of the fights was Sol doing everything even
>>151860553The red dust effect reminds me of Red Tornado
>>151860553Cyborg superman makes a whole ton of sense.
Someone pointed this out but buff Ra's has a tattoo similar to DianaMay be deriving power from a god like she derives from Hecate
>>151850397Fuck :'(Weak issue and arc in multiple ways but this moment got me
>>151851538because you removed the actual plot of the comic from your framing.
>>151850536I don't really think it's too great an idea to build up Ra's so much and have him take the hard L. What is even going to follow? Or was this always just a setup for Luthor down the line?
>>151854089>Repostingstop being an annoying little cunt.
Remember. What happens in your head also happens. You can make Absolute Martian Manhunter succeed. Use the power of thinking. The power of thinking is rad.
>>151861020>Or was this always just a setup for Luthor down the line?Luthor is set to appear in #17 too
>>151850832Why do people read comics for action? It's not like you can see the movement on the page. Story development, good stories/writing, along with good art, is what people should desire.
>>151852028That is an extrmely hot cover
>>151860553Eradicator would make the most sense
>>151850266So that's how it happened.
>>151860660This would be so based.
>>151861338>>151860660I see the vision but that just leans into the "Not using Superman's mythos" complaint
>>151860302I saw one of its harshest critics speculate that while Condon IS a competent to outright excellent writer on superheroes, his reverence for Wolverine (especially how he was handled by Claremont and BWS) made it a detriment because he couldn't deviate from that Scott Snyder already got his fill of Batman, he's able to actually experiment with it now
>>151850119They're friends : )
>>151850217>"happy holidays"Did he say it because hes not christian, or did he say it to be polite because she comes from a line of greek gods and they get pissy when other religeons are mentioned?
>>151850161Hahahahahaha
>>151850217I kind of assumed that this story would lead directly into the absolute batman issue with Wonder Woman, but it seems it'll just be a different story. Honoestly that works better for me, they're still largely self contained works, frankly I'm more surprised that they didn't see dollar signs in trying to make it a two parter.
>>1518519317 is the Godly number777 is number associated with God,angels and heaven etc which is why 666 is associated with hell and devil due to devils attempt to become god and reach but ending up as cheap imitation that only fools mistake for genuine stuffSo I reckon dc did it on accident and when someone realised what they have they went further with 7s
>>151861472He thinks shes jewish due to gigaschnoz but isnt sure
Calling it now, next Superman arc will be him trying to fit in with humans as "Clark Kent"Only to fail miserably
>>151861472>implying jesus exists in the absolute universe
>>151861020I doubt we've seen the last of him. You're not wrong, though. Absolute Superman has just dragged and been so boring. Brainiac is the most interesting thing in the whole book.Batman and Wonder Woman are going to befriend him and lift him up. Thank God (Darkseid).
If Ra's was actually Vandal Savage would people have complained less?
>>151862304Nah, not really.
>>151862304It being Ra's gave it more leeway than it would have gotten otherwise.
>>151862320He has to come backHow do you fix him aside from having Brainiac or Lex kill him?
>>151862304No, 4chan is now where people go to complain about anything.
>>151862378Dude....EVERYONE thinks Ra's was a bad idea with a bad execution
>>151862409How about I rape your asshole
>>151850558better quality
>>151851782The Martian Manmogger
lmao the DCKO thread died already
>>151850161I mean someone would have to be blind or in denial to not see the resemblance.
>>151862514wrong
>>151862378That is the internet in general.>>151862320NTA but I still don't get why they chose Ra's. For one thing he doesn't even look like Ra's really. Why didn't they just make it Luthor and have him win but Supes escape in issue 15?
>>151862575Everybody in California is gay.
>>151850161fuck yourself and die imageposter
>>151850161I KEKED
When will Martian Manhunter join the Absolute Justice League?Or will he be Hawkman’s token hood teammate as enforcers of authority?
>>151862849>When will Martian Manhunter join the Absolute Justice League?Not ever, I don't think. It was originally a 6-issue limited series, but that's been doubled to 12 issues.
>>151862849There was some speculation that each member of the Absolute Justice League would have a corrupted hero backing themRa's has HawkmanVeronica Cale has Zatanna
>>151850098God these villains are such faggots>NOOOO YOU CAN'T OPPOSE US!
>>151850125PFFFFTTT
>>151861358Who gives a shit?
>>151862969Considering people had gripes over Peacemakers and the Al Ghuls?Plenty
>>151850161No?
