What do we think of the Absolute universe?

s'alright

>>152196637
Too try-hard.

>>152196637
I picked up Batman but it's pretty meh. Haven't read it past the first arc.
Wonder Woman does not seem interesting. The first issue was generic dark fantasy, but Sherman's art was alright. Wondy should be prettier, though. I might give it a second chance.
I left off with Martian Manhunter before the Christmas issue. It's been so-so, but I'm mainly reading it for the art. I might pick it back up when it hits 12 issues.
I haven't gone past the first issue on Superman, Flash, or Green Lantern, as they were quite bad.
>>152196671
I wish they would try much harder than that.
>>
>>152196637
I hope it ends soon.
>>
>>152196671
A lack of trying hard has been the comic industries issue for decades

Bruce ripping out his own teeth to force into his knuckles and using his own piss and shit to create bombs didn't give the best first impression.
>>
>>152196637
I think they're starting to stumble now that they've gotten past the introductions and establishing of their worlds. Not so much in quality--every run is generally about as good or bad as it was before--but some of them are starting to feel a lot less dark and strange, which was such a heavy part of their identity.

I'm really enjoying them, made me wanna get all the floppies for Batman at the very least. It's fun going to my LCS and seeing the buzz as everybody's reading the newest issues. They don't appeal to everyone but so far, it's been nice catching up on all of them. I got gifted a year for the DC app, so I've caught up using my tablet or trades I come across.
>>152196732
Gotta get some levity to blow it back down or else there's no game.
>>
>>152196637
Absolute bore
>>
>>152196637
Batman and Wonder Woman are great.
I only read up to 6 with Martian Manhunter but it was pretty good.
Rest are mid

>Gotta get some levity to blow it back down or else there's no game.
The problem is that it's not Absolute Levity. The reason that Absolute Batman stays fresh is because even its levity is baked into the rest of the ridiculousness of the situation. He'd be in some absolute hellish situation but then you get the goofiness of him punting a child into the water, running full-sail naked through Ark M, or other similar nonsense.

When Absolute Superman (and to an extent, Absolute Wonder Woman) become a bit bright, they're not breaking things up in a way that actually fits Absolute; they're just become a bit less Absolute for a bit
>>
>>152196637
does anyone like Flash? i've tried reading it a few times and i honestly can't bring myself to like it. The Rogues in particular suck, their designs suck and making them glowies is a lame change

miss me with that shit

MM is try hard crap. I tried it with people talking about it like it was this amazing thing, but it is just abstract art which isn't even very good.
>>
>>152196637
It made me care about DC again.
>>
>>152197130
It's the worst selling book in the absolute line, they'll probably try and reboot it into an absolute titans book or something.

>>152197357
you never cared for DC
>>
>>152196637
It's good to have a blank slate. They should do more Martian Manhunter oddballs for lesser popular characters. Green Arrow and Catwoman are not the characters that should've been given Absolute titles, instead use characters with a small fanbases that have potential but you don't really wanna give an ongoing to like Creeper, Atomic Knights or Blue Devil.
>>
>>152197392
That's where you're wrong kiddo.
>>
>>152196637
Absolute Flash needs to get its shit together before it gets canned and replaced.
>>
>>152196637
Ab Bat feels like the only one taking advantage of the premise
Wondy is good but seems like it could be a mainline book
MM is hard carried by the art
The rest all had too much “set up”…but are actually getting good now (GL, Superman, and flash)
>>
>>152196719
If you're a pussy

>Absolute Flash is horrible and slow
>Superman started out mid, got interesting for a few issues and is now back to mid
>Green Lantern was terrible but started picking up by #4-6 and is now pretty decent with art that doesn't fit it, I do like how Jo is allowed to be a horrible person though
>Batman is pretty good, you can tell Snyder is having fun
>Wonder Woman is good, kinda wish she faced a little more adversity though
>Martian Manhunter is great, no complaints
>>
>>152196637
The hate is mostly contrarianism, most of the books range from decent to great, Flash is the only one that has a ton of problems.
>>
absolute badman is too edgy
>>
>>152198682
>contrarianism
Absolute shit is edgy shit, made for contrarians
>>
I have a few of Martian Manhunter, Flash, GL, WW, but only really read Supes and Batman. I just got so busy the last few months that I never got to read em. Will be checking them out now that Grok has been censored and I'm free from gooning. I particularly want to go through MM and Flash.
>>
>>152196637
Thank you Absolute DC for making us laugh at love …again
>>
>>152197130
>>152197370
its better than Absolute GL
>>
>>152199667
True. That's a very low bar but Flash does clear that.
>>
So when is the next issues?
>>
>>152196637
It insists upon itself
>>
>>152198258
>Wondy is good but seems like it could be a mainline book
That's what I'm saying! If she's just gonna be written the same as normal Diana, then what's the point of it being an AU?
>>
>>152200466
I could easily see a WW story where she get a giant sword
Other than that she's basically the same character but will spell casting powers
