Join me in a travel to that odd decade called: the 2020sAnd in that decade one comicbook shines over the rest, for the better or the worse, the most iconic book and the most iconic cover of that decade:ABSOLUTE BATMAN 001 by Nick Dragotta from 2024.It became so iconic, loved by trillons, hated by thousand. But we don't care.This is an ABSOLUTE THREAD, about ABSOLUTE COVERS.>Books like “Something is Killing the Children”, “Department of Truth”, “D’ORC” and “Absolute Batman” were such big hits, homages started flowing in soon after their release. Awesome to see the phenomenon of “Absolute Batman” and Nick Dragotta’s cover of issue #1 has become iconic already.>For a long time, homage covers were usually homages of comics of the past. They were mostly homages to the classics like Action Comics #1 and Amazing Fantasy #15. The last decade or more we’ll see a hot book get homaged almost as quickly as the original is released. Artist Marat Mychaels has been the quickest “draw” on some of the coolest homage covers. His homage to “Final Boss #2” titled “Final Pooh #2” was released the same day.

>>154030694>>154030864This might be the pinnacle of creative bankruptcy.

>>154031269Sometimes the new Witchblade costume looks good and sometimes they make the yellow bodysuit too yellow and less skintoned and it looks like absolute dogshit.
>>154031289>>154031269Thanks anon, for delivering in 4K.
>>154031269>>154031364I think they are going for the idea that her skin is turning metallic gold. It depends on the colorist how well that comes off.Its growing on me alot.
>>154031269>>154031364>>154031767
>>154031269>>154031364>>154031767>>154031779>>154031364Immeasurably better than the 2017 redesign (fucking retarded cunts)
>>154031767This artist rendered her body so suit looks tight against her skin, the other guy didn't add any depth below her boobs, it looks terrible, like she's wearing a diaper.>>154031779Again visable musculature, not flat. I still hate the new costume.>>154031800This isn't even an idea, this is just a bad artist trying to simplify a concept so they can draw it.
>>154031767This one looks the best like in the absolute cover.
Where is Absolute Gert?
