>every single absolute version is just an (stupider and) cooler version of the original>absolute GL could be about cosmic horror and the will power to overcome it>could be about literal space cops and some noir drama IN SPACE>could be about Guy Gardner unleashed going around creating green energy construct babes to fight for him>instead we get the obligatory black woman no one cares about>lamest costume by far tooGL fans got shaft hard on this one. Why even bother, who is putting an gun to the head of DC and forcing them to always add a black lady as a green lantern when no one wants that.
>>152805017>>could be about literal space cops and some noir drama IN SPACEThey tried it with earth 1, but it didn't move numbers.
No one actually likes noir drama, they just like the aesthetics.
>>152805017>expecting interesting or unique plots from mainstream media>in current year
>>152805033Anything would be better than what we got, really. I'm just trowing ideas because it's by far the most disappointing one of everything they done. Maybe killing green arrow, but I'm really not a big fan of the character.
>>152805033>but it didn't move numbersBecause DiDio was dumb and instead of just copying Ultimate Marvel he thought they needed to do graphic novels. (Also releasing it at the same time as N52)I can assure you that if they had released Earth One as ongoing series, all of them would have been just as big of a hit as the Absolute Universe is right now.
this board seems to hate Abso Flash more than Abso GL, but I disagreeAbso GL is my least favorite of all the Absolute books. I don't like the quipiness of the characters' voices and its taking too long/meandering at trying to explain the new GL mythos. Flash might be a little boring/standard but its straight forward in a way that is not frustrating.
>>152805289Shit is also so hard to read, trying too hard on the stylized writing that makes too dense to even understand what is going on.Reminds of that crossed comic that happens in the future and everyone talks like a retarded.
>>152805453Yes, and they seem to have decided to skip the "proper" spectrum structure and focus on the anomalies.
This was better
>>152805017>forcing them to always add a black lady as a green lantern when no one wants that.Far Sector (the standalone Black Label book) was enjoyable because it was its own thing off in the corner and you could take it or leave it. Every writer that has used Jo since then has just missed the point. I like Ewing but his decision to lead with her feels like the cringey woke-tryhard move of a nerdy white boy.
>>152805017Hear that? That's the sound of me giving Jo crazy backshots
Should have been Absolute Guy Gardner.
>>152805721I don't hear anything
>>152805017I wanted Kyle Rayner.
>>152805760He is currently contemplating the nature of restraint, Tomar-re may have slapped him out of it.
>>152805089>he thought they needed to do graphic novels.He thought that because people insisted that graphic novels were the future instead of monthly comics
>>152805089>>152806075The problem with Earth One is they were all bad
>>152806003You don't hear that thunder or feel the ground rumbling??
>>152805017This book is actually good though?
>>152807127No it isn't
>>152807565That's your opinion. Had it been space cop noir, you would have bitched its not different enough from the mainline. The new spectrum is actually interesting
>>152807127Nope.
>>152805017Your ideas are shit anonThey should've used Alan and had the book be updating his golden age rogue gallery + family dramaHe would've stood out by being a grown ass man with kids too instead of a teen like Wally or generic 20 something looking adult
>>152805622I would like it better if they didnt unceremoniously kill of all the previous Tangent heroes except Green Lantern who was ceremoniously killed off and Batman who was undead lol. It just seems so shitty for the 2 fans of tangent like me and that 1 other guy. Whoever you are I know you're out there.The old green lantern tangent stories were great. She was like a cryptkeeper/elvira type of storyteller and I wish we got more stories like that but oh well. I did really like the drunk depressed new one though.The Egyptian green lantern who used magic to troon out as a kid made me chud out so hard though what the fuck.
>>152806020For what reason?
>>152808848Alan is forever gay now anon, a book with him in the lead would be all about how bad was to be a fag in the 40s
>>152808848His ideas aren't bad you're just retarted. Alan is forever ruined now thanks to DC.
>>152805622How is this?
