Unless the reader response to this series is extremely negative or the artist can't keep up with the pace, this shit is almost definitely getting extended to 12 issues https://www.thepopverse.com/comics-absolute-green-arrow-1-second-printing-continuation-questionWhere did DC go so right with Absolute?
>>153693152To put this into context, this is more preorders than what Absolute Batman #1 got.>Where did DC go so right with Absolute?Creator driven, allowed to do whatever the hell they want, mostly self contained away from the mainline, assumes you know these characters and has fun with them
>>153693152i didnt even know this book existed and i read like half the absolute books. i know the following sentence can be a buzzword sometimes but where was the marketing?
>>153693212>i didnt even know this book existed and i read like half the absolute books.It was set up in Absolute Evil>i know the following sentence can be a buzzword sometimes but where was the marketing?They had a trailer for it, and a shit ton of variants were posted online to make people aware
>>153693229>It was set up in Absolute Evilyea i read that but i never heard of their being a book until this thread
>>153693212Not on /co/ because this place doesn't read comics
>>153693152>>153693186>>153693212Say it with meVARIANTSandSPECULATORS
>>153693186>Creator driven My ass it is!
>>153693267And no blind bag, like Daredevil #1.
>>153693267I think it only had one incentive variant and it was a 1:25 one at that instead of something stupid like 1:100 or 1:1000, which is pretty good.>b-but 50 billion retailer variantsThose are retailer exclusive that the retailer commissioned and can only be ordered at that retailer. Are there some people buying them from that retailer to sell them online marked up due to its rarity? Obviously but it's not as egregious as an incentive variant that forces retailers to order more to get a certain cover.
>>153693287They're letting each writer do whatever the fuck they want
>>153693645No that's incorrect, they're letting each writer do whatever Scott Snyder wants.
is the absolute universe better than the original ultimate universe?
>>153693730As a whole yes considering Ultimate is propped up severely by USM, but I'd say only AWW and AMM are better than USM so far with AB being right below right and AF is probably down there with some of the worst pre-Ultimatum Ultimate books.
>>153693186>>153693152Green Arrow is selling well because it's Luigi Mangione: the comicPeople are more than ready for a monthly all about murdering billionaires
>>153693802Hopefully others are inspired
Absolute Catwoman's gonna sell ever higher right? It's bat adjacent and Snyder is co-writing.
>>153693152I cannot wait for hawkman to bash green arrows head with his mace AGAIN
this shit looks so fucking lame>hurr durr he's edgy now! put a skull mask on him!
>>153695177Pretty sure it's supposed to resemble a samurai facemask with a skull motif.
>>153695177Sounds great! Though I'm going to reserve judgment until it actually comes out. Preview looks promising to me. I yearn for the edgelords.
>>153695271its supposed to resemble olivers face obv.
>>153693152Can't wait for Jason Aaron to fuck up the whole line by writing that Absolute Crisis event like Absolute Ass and driving half the casual readers away, it'll be really funny if see DC trying to play damage control.>>153693212>where was the marketing?On other social media. Actual DC shills rarely come here anymore compared to the marvel shills.
>>153695581not that obvious
>>153695177Well it's either a dead man or someone masquerading as a dead man.
>>153693212there's a preview of it in absolute batman, how the fuck did you miss it
is alt green arrow selling more than ollie arrow?
>>153697296Considering the last Green Arrow book got cancelled due to low sales, and they were low enough that Snyder said DC would've started losing money had they kept it going, yes
>>153693802I and most of the world has zero idea who that is.
>>153693267How many variants did it have? And then compare it to other top sellers from DC and Marvel for the month as well as recent #1.
>>153693152I always wait until the third issue at the earliest to call something a success.
>>153693186The only genuinely good title is Martian Manhunter and it’s not the best selling title because like always people have shit taste and would rather throw money at Scott Snyder
>>153693621based truth speaker anon. I support your statement.
>>1536973136 open variants (anybody can order them)1 1:25 incentive variant (retailers have to order 25 issues to get 1 of this variant)13 retailer exclusive (the retailer has commissioned this and can only be sold to and at that retailer, also technically 13 in that 13 different artists have been commissioned but most of them have 1-2 other versions like foil)If you see a comic having more than 5-10 variants nowadays it's usually because of retailer variantsand desu I'd rather than be more retailer variants than the bullshit incentive variants as there can be some ridiculous ones like Miller's Dark Knight III having a 1:5000 one.

>>153697310This is an American websiteGo back
>>153693152Good for them.
>>153697323You have to wait for issue #4 for any real indicator. Comics are ordered 3 months in advance, issue 4 is where the retailer knows where it is popular or not with readers and buyers.l and decided to order more or not.
>>153698050Something tells me the "hunting and killing billionaires" book is gonna do just fine.
>>153698020Anime website.
>>153698082Luigi Mangione killed the CEO of United Healthcare and is a national hero as a result.Now you know the context. Next time use fucking google.
>>153693802but he himself is a billionaire
>>153697262i havent read absbats since 18 so thats on me
>>153693706So Big Dimes Scotty is based?
>>153697326neck youeself campfag
>>153699180Ollie got killed already, this is somebody else.
>>153699363>Ollie got killed already, this is somebody else.really? then why would i read it ?
>>153693152>Where did DC go so right with Absolute?Ignoring continuity, for ages Marvel made continuity neglecting comics and DC shy away from themBut I hear my warning, they overplay it and will pay the price
>>153699372I don't know why anyone would read any Green Arrow comic. Maybe Absolute Black Canary will be hot in a new way?
So farWW>BATMAN>MM>GL>SUPER>FLASH
>>153697310You know the direct market is American right?
>>153693267I will NOT say that with you
I wonder if it will be extended like AMM
Why people dislike AGL? It is one of my favorites so far
>>153699372To see a man murder billionairesI thought the pitch was pretty clear.
>>153699180
>>1537007381- lack of a decent artist2- most readers hate the mainline version of Jo who was basically a political mouthpiece for her creator
>>153699180Even when he was alive, Absolute Ollie was horrified by his peers
>>153693802Is that just the first season arrow all over again
>>153693267this300k copies for Green Arrow in this day and age? c'mon
