And that's it. If you liked this, support your LCS or whatever.
>>154142797Oh I am loving this even more already. If we get an Absolute fighting game, I want this for Catwoman's ult immediately.
>>154142831They should've waited a week or so before announcing that Cass spinoff coming out of this issue, it spoiled this revealAlright #1 otherwise though, nothing groundbreaking but nothing bad either, got Selina's introduction out of the way
>>154142831my girl
>>154142831Shame we could already guess who she was, but not a bad introduction. If anything, I'm looking forward to her one-shot to see how she became this way.>>154142836Thanks for the dump, OP. Is this the only new Absolute book we're getting today, by the way?
>>154142809Doesn't she have another kid on the way now?
>>154142867>Is this the only new Absolute book we're getting today, by the way?I think so, Batman was supposed to come out today but they delayed it until next week because having both books on the same day would have caused the printers to explode apparently
I can't look at this catwoman without remembering Halle Berryhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ak_he4y4jw
>>154142797this is the goofy shit I live for
>>154142875Yeah.I think its her 4th or 5th one.
>>154143047Damn, congrats to her then.
>>154142831Baby girl! I wonder if her backstory is gonna be 10 times worst here.
>>154143222I'm guessing she's been raised by Lady Shiva as an instrument of revenge against the Joker.
>>154142719This book will be another Wonder Woman in that it's very empty because the writer refuses to actually challenge the main character until they're forced to. I'm filthy fucking rich beyond imagining. But it means nothing to me. I'd respect this book more if she said yeah I grew up poor as fuck and want to be rich so I don't have to eat from the trash and sleep on the streets ever again.
>>154142752She's so cute bros I want to marry her
>>154142809Fuck that's hot>>154142875Yes so she'll be horny
absolute holly robinson and absolute cass are cute, CUTE!
>>154142723The goggle design on these catwomen reminds of of 2004 "The Batman"'s Catwoman, just with much smaller ears.
>>154143561They're literally just the Darwyn Cooke Catwoman design.
>>154143819It has more pizzazz than Cooke's outfit.
>>154142797Ok, that's just silly. Well played, comic book!
>>154143222She probably ran away, but was brought back and has been killing ever since.
>>154142713Should I post those 54 covers or not? it would be less since most of them are triplacated.
>cuban>migrant>richSo a traitor to the people, probably voted for orange man.
>>154144224Go ahead, if you want. It'd be nice to see them.
>>154143861no it doesnt, you fucking tourist. its literally just that outfit

>>154143222Probably, she's being raised by her mom instead of by her dad. Girl is not gonna be the same. This also makes me realize, she won't be too off age wise from Bats and Babs. A part of me finds that odd but it's refreshing
Absolute Cringe
I like it so far, not sure what I was expecting but now I understand why there are a ton of Catwoman running around. The more I read Absolute, the more I go "Wait, isn't that the girl from...?" or "They look cute, I should look them up." It motivates me to catch up
>>154145330More or less. It reads like a generic elseworlds. Shills 'love it', though.
>>154144770It's Catwoman, why wouldn't it be goonerbaitI'm certain the only reason she's Afro-Cuban here is to justify giving her a fat ass too
>>154145929no it's just really fucking nothing burgerit's very mehi do not care about this book it did not grab me in it's nothing special
>>154142831>We are very proud of you, Absolute Cassandra Cain™ #1 (2026)
Is the artist Italian or French? There's something very european about the art but I can't quite put my finger on what it is.
>>154142719This design fucks so hard. The absolute Batman universe is pretty much the Batman Beyond book I’ve always wanted. Snyder is a god
It was alright, nothing specialPeople who already love the character will probably love thisBunch of other already introduced characters would've made for more interesting books than her
The single marvel fan endlessly seething
>>154142713She's getting her own Absolute run? This a miniseries?
>>154147609It's a mini, but it could be extended if the book does well, which it apparently has
>>154147035Bengal is French

>>154142831The fact that she still has Cain's name, which of course she has to they can't name her something else, makes me wonder what his role in this is. The solicit only mentions her and Shiva.
>>154142735>absolute Batman is some street thug>absolute Catwoman is a rich, globe trotting thief with a Cat Cave full of crazy gadgetsAmusing.
>>154142775>Holly Quinn
I feel like this could've been a large size one-shot instead, maybe the plot will go somewhere big and unexpected though
Wasn't Absolute Universe supposed to be GrimDark?
>>154142719>The proportions are all wrongGod bless those absolute afro-latina genes
>>154149887I've seen people wonder if she'll be the Joker's daughter instead, but still calling her Cain seems to be the elephant in the room.
The Catcave is kinda lame since Joker already has the cave.
>>154142831Abs Cass
>>154144960eh I don't really like the fish bowl helmet it looks more like a pilot helmet with cat ears than something I would associate with the catwoman outfit
>>154142831Another strong Absolute #1. I want to FUCK Selina.
>>154150216Yeah not much of an ironic reversal.
>>154150216They should have called it the Cat Condo
>>154150401The Cats Cradle is RIGHT THERE, MAN!
>>154150401They should call it the cat box if it's always going down
Does anyone else think that Absolute Batman is dead in the water? Like I think that Bane story was the only story Scott Snyder had in the tank.
>>154142747Is the panther gonna be her version of ace
>>154142725>hands free neuro signals>picture show her using her hands
>>154150401The Litter BoxOr the Cat Scratch
>>154150471I think it's sort of lost the plot of "working class Batman" since now it seems to be mostly about Batman's really bad no good day where he fights a new monster or villain or giant robot every issue. But the market seems to love it.
>>154150471>Does anyone else think that Absolute Batman is dead in the water?No.
>>154150498The market likes it now but what's the retrospective gonna be like?
>>154150568I dunno, it depends on if he sticks the landing i guess. The current arc having Scarecrow, 5 Robins, Deathstroke, Clayface, Two-Face, Penguin, AND Joker in it is the most insane character bloat I've ever seen.
>>154150471No, it's great.
>>154150568>but what's the retrospective gonna be like?Completely immaterial
>>154150471>Does anyone else think that one of, if not the, best selling comic on the market is dead?No, you just hate popular things if they not appealing to you specifically
>>154150651Like he got antsy and fidgety and wants to use all the things we know are Batman.
>>154150763There's definitely some stuff that doesn't land in AbsBats for me due to just how quickly it happens, like Bane punching all of Bruce's friends into the shapes of his classic rogues in a single afternoon.
>>154150899It certainly solved the mystery of how that was gonna happen though, that was probably gonna be the hardest thing Synder had to do.
>>154150651>>154150899It feels like Snyder wants to be done by issue 48 or 50
Why do so many variants look like ai slop?
>>154151092I think he's said he has a 50-issue plan, but that was probably before DC pulled up to his house with a dump truck full of money.
>>154150899I forget, Did Bane actually punch Riddler into a question mark or did I just hallucinate that?
>>154142737>>154142740Cute Catloli
>>154151285He crushed his brain into a question mark, yes.
>>154150471Bane arc is it's peak so far
>>154149656My Benes is erect
>>154149913Darkseid hates Bruce Wayne
>>15415118960 issue but he can plan out more if need be since him and Dragotta are in such a good funk that they can keep going (and it's making gangbusters, obviously)
>>154149887She was Cassandra Wu-San in Young Justice to emphasize that Shiva took over David's role as the abusive parent.
>>154142723I wonder if any of them are absolute versions of other characters or are they all OC’s
>>154142740Too much useless dialogue
So its clear that Selina started her career to help pay off Bruce's debt, climbed higher than Falcone, and couldn't stop because she realized people like Joker exist so through paranoia amassed a fortune in the hopes her and Bruce could finally be free but ironically had a falling out. Do you think Bruce and Selina will reconcile in this universe? Aren't mainline Batman and Catwoman supposed to circle back together again in Fraction's book?
>>154142831I am ALSO very proud of Cassie
>>154155097Selina has reasons beyond helping Bruce, just like her other universe selves. I think she likes to help people, she just doesn't have a lot of trust. This issue starts with her being tired and wanting to chill out, away from the world. If I had to guess, I wouldn't be surprised if she gets back with Bruce but not any time soon.
>>154155965I interpreted these chain of events as Selina being motivated by "It's not enough". First step was getting free from her adopted dad, then it was Falcone, and unfortunately she realized the peak to get that freedom was Jack Grimm, which good luck getting out of his reach. As her skills, wealth, and gear expanded, she lost a bit more of herself and in turn Bruce
>>154156035You could also say she is free of Gotham.
>>154142740why did darkseid make her cuban
>>154142831>Need a blonde. >My hair's auborn!>Redhead works too..
Is the absolute universe going to have the same fate as the ultimate universe of the 00s did? I just got back into collecting comics again and it seems like it’s playing out like ultimate marvel line did back in the 00s. Everyone hyping it up especially speculators then slowly everyone starts returning to the main universe.
>>154142713This plot with Holly reads a lot like the most recent arc in the mainline Catwoman ongoing.
>>154156295She's been cuban since the late 90s.
>>154149755Is she Puerto Rican or Dominican?
>>154156374Jeph Loeb flooding cities and having characters eat each other?
>>154156374Snyder & co keeps saying they want to keep the number of ongoing books it has at any one time small and that they have an ending roughly in mind too, but then he has always said one thing and then done something else so who knows
>>154142836Why did this need to take place in London?The artist didn't really bother getting London architecture down, and there isn't really any story reason for it
>>154156763is cannibalism worse than absorbing babies to stay alive?
stuff like this proves how cool catwoman could be
Doesnt she look like Voodoo?
>>154142875BREEDERS
>>154156363>Wait... you're not Stephanie Brown...>Cass throws Holly in the nearest dumpster
>>154157627Totally agree.
it's a good year for pussy lovers
If abs cass is SxF yor, i hope drawfags are ready for the cass family art.
>>154160167I'm sure sure a scenario like that has already been commissioned
>>154142737>>154142740Uooh ToT
>>154149755I thought she was Brazilian
>>154157842sex with evil daemonite hybrid clone Voodoo
>>154143247>This book will be another Wonder Woman in that it's very empty because the writer refuses to actually challenge the main character until they're forced to.Yeah, I'm not liking this at all. I really hope this isn't required reading for AbsBat going forward.
>>154149998Only for male leads. Darkseid pulls his punches for the female leads. He's the principle of evil, not a hecking chud!
>>154151285You hallucinated. He just slapped him around until he was disinhibited enough to dismantle his robot he made for fun and stick its CPU into his brain (and gouged out his eyes, so he gave himself the robot's eyes).

Skipping all the panels. Is there anything interesting by this version of Catwoman? Claws, cat eyes, something feline? Or is she still just a chick who larps as a cat?
>>154166688She has a motorcycle that turns into a cat.
>>154142797I can never hate the absolute universe
>>154163178Cringe faggotry. You will never be a woman, Nona.
>>154167658How'd she get it?
>>154167827Probably stole it.
>>154142723needs an edit where those "budda" SFXs are "bunda"
>>154167827She’s like Bruce in this universe. Has a bunch of high tech gadgets and a cat cave
>>154170080It's kind of funny how Bruce had to pay or develop everything for his cave, while Selina just stole it all
