what's the /co/nsensus on the absolute universe?
>>153626955Batman is so dumb it circles back into being campy fun.Wonder Woman is the best version of the character in ages.Martian Manhunter has amazing art, but I didn't read it because I can't read, so I looked at the pages.Haven't read the others.
>>153627053>I can't read.........
>>153626955Flavour of the month.
>>153626955The Joker is a democrat?
>>153626955is he pregnant againor is it a killing joke reference
>>153626955>BatmanIt's the retarded mashup of Resident Evil and Metal Gear. It's got kinetic art. The story and political angle are laughable. But, it's very enjoyable. It is a retarded MGS/RE mashup and it just works. It's a title that I think will be emblematic of the 20s. Take that as you will.>Wonder WomanGreat art, great reinvention, subpar story. Will end up remembered more as the concept rather than the finished product.>FlashUh...>Martian Manhunter It'll be forgotten mini with some cool art, when people inevitable get tired of that Commie Roach.>GLIt... exists. It's got some neat enough ideas, but it had such a slow start, it's got such a nothing aesthetic, the characters are barely there, so the whole thing ends up being forgettable. Which gets even worse because you can see the good ideas underneath.>SupermanThe biggest disappointment. It's just Aaron writing more Aaron-isms. It's just an endless parade of>brown peepo GUD>religion BAD>religious brown peepo GUD>except Arabs, fuck dem Arabs, they ain't good like brownblackGAHDS>oh and right-fascist science BAD unlike brown commie science which is GUDAll that between a completely uninteresting Superman who's again just a fag running around Smallville being a farmer while his supporting cast is in the Daily Planet. It's too similar and too unimaginative. He doesn't even have any interesting villains. Brainiac is literally just Space Jokah Baybee. "Shazam" is just Aaron's mouthpiece again. It's utter trash. The cape's cool though.For my money, the whole thing is just Batman. Joker's the most interesting character in the whole thing. Everyone else exists. It's a universe that's meant to be edgy, so naturally only Batman works. The rest's just business as usual. Superman could've been genuinely interesting, but they wasted it all.
>>153627187Sorry to be annoying but I haven't read anything absolute related other than that k.o event, when you say the laughable politics you mean the clan thing in batman right? I saw memes of those at least I don't want to assume things but it would be funny if you fit the stereotype
>>153626955Batman is the best of them but still not particularly good.
>>153626955Dragotta’s work here might be the hardest carry job I’ve seen an artist do for a comic in years.
>>153627128those are called behelits, its a berserk reference like what most of absolute is copying
>>153626955More like Absolute Trash
>>153627211Batman's villains in absolute are all created by an evil gazillionaire who creates all crime. Its so on the nose with its class warfare crap the joker literally makes a helmet and pays poor people directly to commit crimes. Bane gets turned into some bullshit banana revolutionary, fries is from a cryo company freezing rich boomers etc. Surprised snyder didn't slap a red star on bruce.
>>153627967Comics should copy cool shit more often. They need to stop being so fucking lame.
>>153626955Kino
The question I keep asking myself is what makes this universe absolute in the first place?
>>153626955I like Absolute Batman. It's stupid and fun. Great ride so far. The rest not so much. Wonder Woman feels like a drag to get through. Superman had a few good ideas but the supporting cast suck so fucking much. Green Lantern is just mediocre all around. Flash had some good visuals but it sure as hell takes its time to get anywhere.
>>153627187>Brainiac is literally just Space Jokah Baybee.He's AM.
>>153627187>It's the retarded mashup of Resident Evil and Metal Gear.And Berserk.
