Bump if you're reading.
>>153044784>>153044788>What if THIS established character was also THIS ANOTHER established characterBRAVO AARONIt was bad enough you squandered Superman's corner, now you're aggressively wasting the potential of everyone else who wasn't claimed yet
And that's it. If you liked this, support your LCS or whatever.
>>153044809>Parasite's gonna be KryptoHuh
>>153044881The hierachy of power in the Absolute Universe is about to change
>>153044809>Krypto ParasiteWeird but cute.
>>153044956I sort of get the appeal but turning Parasite into Krypto kind of plays into the book having a severe Superman villain problemGranted, a decent amount of Bruce's rogues gallery are actually his allies in this universe (at least for now) but you get what I mean
>>153044788>As you say, I am but a STRANGER. One who has traveled far, passing through the shadows like a PHANTOM. yes, Aaron, i get it, she's Phantom Stranger
Was Phantom Stranger ever established to be older than Judas in the prime continuity?
>>153044831>what the hell did superman do to you?!>he... talk-no-jutsu'd me.
If Ra's wanted to redeem himself before dying peacefully, can't he just spill the beans about the Justice League?
This book is ass
>>153045084oh yeah, he's part of that. or is he not? is Talia going to replace him? what the hell's even going on with the League? they met up like once and then never helped each other again
>>153044842>>153044845The way they draw his cape here is really neat. So this Superman's powers are based in crystals? Are they some kind of Kryptonian technology?
>>153045138He is but Braniac deemed him and Talia out of itHawkman is a League enforcer and is still loyal to the Al Ghul's though
>>153045220It's Kryptonian techUsed to have an AI but it died
Thoughts on that one twitter Middle Easterner's take on what an Absolute Superman should be?
>>153044852People are saying it's Raven but it might not be, a female Phantom Stranger would just look like that I guess
>>153044825Based
>>153045259I know LOCG has it as Raven but literally anyone can edit for that site without mod supervision with enough timeThat said, Marvel/DC stuff is taken very seriously (albeit not flawless, I doubt she's "Rachel Roth") so it'll probably be worth checking to see if that contributor provided a source or not
>>153045259>a female Phantom Stranger would just look like that I guesswhile true, wouldn't she have a fedora instead of a hood? i think the hood and the big gold discs where her cape should connect kinda confirm it's supposed to be Raven, though you're not wrong that nothing necessarily 100% confirms it either
I don't hate this book as much as some people do but I really don't like this new origin for Black Adam, there's wriggle room to add more to it as even the Brainiacs aren't sure what they enhanced him with (that's sort of amusing I suppose) but him just being a dude powered by alien tech is lame, although we saw from last issue that Brainiac is being tied into this bit of the lore and all
>No Lex update>"Absolute Shazam" is just Black Adam with a new coat of paintRa's being genuinely reformed and vigilante(?) Steel make up for it, however.

But who is their mystery challenger?i'm assuming it's NOT Steel, the way it's being hyped up here. as cool as he is, i don't really think he's enough to warrant "greatest battle the Absolute Universe has ever seen"
>>153044773So, what's the magic word?
>>153045524>i'm assuming it's NOT Steel,It is Steel. The cover with the shadowed silhouette has the blocky head.
>>153045960The pose looks awfully a lot like someone who is about to swing a hammer
>>153045977It's Steel, everybody guessed it the moment the cover dropped.

>>153044804Why is the two brainiacs talking to eachother so funny to me?
>>153044881At least he isnt Dwaynetty
>>153044788So why is the phantom stranger telling this prophecy to a bunch of enslaved farm workers?
>>153046555Because Aaron can only write one story, so he needs an oppressed "minority" to take the fight to the (fake, but real, but stupid so they're fake) gods.God, I hate Aaron so much...
>>153044788its crazy how he can bounce between decent & mediocre between issues
>>153046726he pulled this faggotry when he tried to erase all of way's stuff in his GR run
