yall reading absolute How is it so far
Man those Sinclair colors are so dated, ugly, unimaginative, stale, rote, way past time to send him to a farm upstate.
>>154167152It's been 25+years but I still think Jim Lee's art doesn't suit DC
>>154167191Williams just posted these, before Sinclair saps the Absolute life out of em
>>154167482DC has some insanely gifted, modern colorists on their roster, some that make Lee's pencils sing. But he sticks with Mr. Remember Hush?
>>154167496It's like he just sleepwalks through it, "Oh yeah, it's Batman, lemme pull up my Batman grey, Batman blue, that'll do it, let's call it a day"
>>154167152it's good
>>154167152New
I hate how lazy house artists just draw mainline characters with slight edits
Absolute Cringe
absolute martian manhunter's finale is this month
>>154168035Shut up, Marvelshill
>>154167152Absolute Martian Manhunter is the most creative of the bunch. Batman and Wonder Woman are the most fun. Flash and Green Lantern are kind of just there. Superman is kind of bad.
>>154168189Nuh uh
>>154167152>How is it so farNot very good. Absbats is utter shit, just wholesale recreating all of the rogues gallery for what purpose out of wayne's friends, a really really lame ass "joker is a monster" thing going on, including court of owls while focusing on nothing for long in case it makes you stop and think about how stupid everything is, bane arc was cool I guess.I like abswondie but it feels like it's repeating itself and going in circles. Not sure where they want to go with it.I'm somewhat between on nanocapedustman, not a bad way to go about the origin but did not enjoy having ras as his first big villian, brainiac being the down syndrome version of his species is funny but hasn't really mattered just yet and the hawkman part was uninteresting..AbsGreen Arrow is too new to say much about, do like him being allowed to shoot to kill we'll see.AbsGL just what the fuck are they doing.Abs flash going nowhere fast, could be better.AbsMM Like the art and the storytelling isn't bad but not sure how this goes further than it's own little world.
>>154167152Jim Lee sucks pretty hard now.
>yall
>>154167152I tolerate its existence.Batman was amusing for the Bane arc, but lost momentum immediately after it and hasn't recovered. The rest are still looking for their first fun arc in vain.The only one that I'm actually interested in ATM is the Green Arrow one, which is weird because I don't give a shit about GA normally. I like the slasher angle.All in all, it's "fine". A lot of empty hype as far as I'm concerned, but I find it very easy to ignore so I'm not upset about it.
Batman is fun sometimes and boring other times, I feel it's quite overhyped honestlyWW is similar, probably more solid overall except I don't give a shit about any of the supporting cast aside from Zatanna and CirceSuperman's been getting better, Aaron's not competent enough to write the sort of thing he was going for initially, it's much better now being a more conventional cape comicMM I'm enjoying a lot, probably benefits from having an ending it's quickly approaching compared to the othersFlash I don't hate as much as everyone else does, Lemire is blueballing the reader too much though and needs to give up some answers instead of introducing questions every issueGL feels like a couple different books smashed together, very hit or miss depending on what Ewing's in the mood to focus on that month
>>154167152lots of these artists dont draw absolute Superman properly. they are still stuck on classic panties on the outside Superman
>>154167152Absolute Batman went to shit after the Bane arc, too many characters got introduced without any build-up.
Reading absolute made me want to see want to see a "return to Nu52" and see an older nu52 universe that Rebirth and Post crisis superman would have never happened
Absolute Dogshit
>>154169722>now
>>154167482>>154167496>>154167510I'll be honest, so far (at least from Absolute Batman) i'm getting a "the 90s are back!!" Vibe from the Absolute Universe
>>154171590Absolute Batman stopped trying to be Batman and turned into some awful hybrid of Berserk and /m/ and it's not particularly good anymore.
>>154167152
>>154167152look at our fucking heroesI'm behind by like a year but I love the line so far
>>154175336This is the moment I lost all interest in Absolute. More liberal bullshit for the pile.
Nothing special really.
>>154168127>>154168213I only read Absolute Martian Manhunter, but I found it to be really good. The first few issues felt like an out of body experience almost. Surprised that comics can still amaze & stun this far into the medium's history.
>>154175537this! so much this!poor lil fellas did nothing wrong! :(
>>154175537Cope, seethe, and dilate chud. All Nazi scum deserve to be skinned alive and shot up with adrenaline before being thrown into pools of acid
>>154167152Nope.
>>154167482Here we go. Same limited palate, same played the fuck out bolt of lightning. Just autopilot.
>>154167496Absymal
>>154167496>>154177737Compared to the dashed off work of a fan
>>154177849
>>154177767that's beautiful. Has more presence.
>>154167152Batman one is the best oneWonder Woman is good but it could just as easily be a mainline bookSuperman took too long to get started but last few issues is a lot betterFlash is started slow and still isn't great (it got better though). MM...first story arc was good but hard carried by the artGL...what a mess.
>>154177767>no lens flairsad
>>154175598>>154175618The trans-tifa HQ is over there >>>/leddit/, xisters.
>>154167482The pencils and inks are already terrible.
>>154177721
>>154180164The pencils are good and I'm not even a Lee fan
>>154177737
>>154167336I'm just glad they found Mora and Jimenez and can finally move past his art being the flagship
>>154167152It's ok
>>154184004I love Absolute Batman so much
Ultimate Marvel is better
>>154184078No one thinks this.
>>154167152>CRAWLING IN MY SKIN
>>154167152Batman is 90s Image trashSuperman is 90s Valiant trash.Wonder Woman is solid as fuck. I wish it was the main book instead of King's OC-o'rama
>BatmanKinda interesting, kinda not. is a bit of a rollercoaster where the lows are okay and the highs are really fucking fun. The bane saga was pretty good, so was the New poison Ivy and slowly watching bruce becoming the batman. I'm still not sold on the joker being some kind of giga demon, depends on what they do with the character.>supermanI actually quite like this book. Midwest emo Clark is a fun read, they put our boy trough hell and he comes back sad but still full of hope. Superman never been such a strong symbol of hope as in this book in my opinion, the fact he seems to literally infect people with hope and made them better is really interesting for the character and kinda makes sense.I don't read WW, seems okay, want to give a chance but I've been reading green lantern. Is a fucking mess, god knows what the fuck is going on that book.
>>154180325That looks fantastic. I kept bouncing back and forth between the images to see if one just felt like novelty, but no, it holds up. >>154177767Doesn't work for me much more than the original. I think it's that the metals don't look much like metal. I like the colours and tones and implementation in the skin, heir and red 'clothes' though.>>154181262Love it.
>>154180469You just have shit taste.
>>154167152Its mostly fine. Batman is great fun right from the start and kept going. Solid all around. Superman kinda sucks, especially the supporting characters. They were exceptionally bad. Except for his cape. But eventually it picked up the pace once it finished the first arc with Ra's and let Superman feel a bit more like Superman. Now it's ok. Green Lantern sucks. Some of the ideas are interesting but Jo just saps the life out of everything and drags the whole comic down with her. If anyone else was leading it, or if they just made her less a shit it would help a lot. Wonder Woman is fine. I don't really like anything from it but I don't really hate it either. It's just ok.
>>154167510>>154167152Superman looks too old.
>>1541844901610 was better. 6160, I doubt it
>>154167152Batman is kinda midWonder Woman is better than any WW book in 2 decades. Superman is kinda shit. Manhunter is the best thing DC is putting out.
>>154167152>Martian Manhunter (is cool, creative and new)>Batman (It's the best of the bunch)>Wonder Woman(it's good)>The Flash and Catwoman(it's more common indy shit)>Superman(It's bad with some pages been amazing)>Green Lantern(Boring and with a bunch of exposition so whe can undestand what is happen)
>>154167152Absolute Seethe from Marvelkeks
>>154191624That's the Ultimate diss haha
>>154167152Absolute Wonder Woke
>>154193063Absolute Retard
What character do you want to see given the Absolute treatment?
>>154194307Absolute Bizarro World
>>154194307none
>>154167152I don't like it, all the interior art sucks even tho there are a few character designs here and there that are awesome. It doesn't feel like the books exist in the same universe, and the ticking clock of what will happen when Darkseid returns was fumbled with DCKO.
>>154194307Donna Troy as they try to make sense of her insanely convoluted origin story. The writing should be bizarre af and the art should be surreal.
>>154167152I'm about a year behind on comics. Where I'm at right now:Batman - Pretty good. I like Bruce's buds being his rogues. Its kind of neat how in the "everything is fucked up and dark and bad" universe... Bruce grows up with his mom and a group of friends. Still loses his dad, which sends him on the Batman path, but the evil universe being the one to give him that support and love he was missing in the main universe is cool.Superman - I dunno. Its been 8 issues of the same shit, I feel like. Art is nice, the visuals are great, the world building of it is cool, but the story might as well be non-existent. Wonder Woman - like, the lore of it cool. But this vastly different and darker world has not changed her personality at all. Its just regular Diana. Kinda feels like she's supposed to be the Supes of this world. The bright and shining example that everyone nuts themself over. Its not bad, though. Wouldn't say its great.Flash - Art is great. Still the intro sequence, so I'm not sure what to make of the story.Martian Manhunter - Dope art. Fun use of the visual medium. Psychedlic shit that reminds me of Shade the Changing Man. Hell, the way this is being set-up, this could just BE a Shade story.Green Lantern - Neat twist on the GL mythos and characters. I hate the use of any of the non-4 main GLs and the cabal of slop Earth characters other than the main 4 should be wiped from history, so fuck Jo for being the main GL of the book.
>>154194307Absolute Atom
>>154194307Absolute Jonah HexAbsolute XanaduAbsolute WarworldAbsolute KenanAbsolute Superman prime (but this one is tricky)Absolute DoomsdayAbsolute XaduAbsolute HellblazerAbsolute HushAbsolute Dial H for hero
>>154167152Mostly just kinda mid though I only read a handful of them. Batman has nice art but Snyder is a fucking terrible writer with dumb ideas. I heard Wonder Woman was good but I read the first five issues and wasn't impressed enough to keep up. Superman just flat out sucks, I don't like the art or the story. Martian Manhunter is really cool, seems like the only one worth seeking out really and it's cordoned off enough you can enjoy it as its own thing. Green Arrow seems kinda interesting so I might keep up with it.
>>154175618Nah. That needs to happen to you, though.
>>154175537Batman and Superman have fought Nazis and the KKK for longer than you been alive.
>>154203830It's different, you know why it's different, I know why it's different, yet you will still pretend to be retarded.
>>154194307NaomiI want someone to take a bad idea and make something good.
>>154194307Absolute Harvey Dent
>>154194307AzraelEtriganHourmanJenny Sparks, or whatever her last name would be.O.M.A.C.The Endless. Would be interesting to see how different and potentially fucked up they are in the Darkseid-verse.Static Shock.
>>154200627She would be just that one Wondy's clone
Absolute Barbara Gordon in September. Seems she got her dad's coat, and Batman's shrapnel shotgun he stole from Alfred.
>>154205194And WW seems to be getting a new sword in September as well.
>>154205194holy shit she's doing the issue #1 pose!!! fucking epic!!!
>>154171527>Batman is fun sometimes and boring other times, I feel it's quite overhyped honestlyThe mark of any Scott Snyder comic. He's never recaptured the court of owls spark. It's all been try hard boomer material since.
>>154205194According to Nick, she'll be known as "The Bat" instead of Batgirl. She'll also be using the Bat shotgun as mentioned, alongside other different tools. In a way, her mission will be more Batman than Batman, who's currently going down a spiral after Scarecrow. So she'll be doing her thing as a cop by day, and vigilante by night. And she'll likely have a role to play in helping bring Bruce out of his Eclipse spiral, a la Guts.
>>154205347Is Court of Owls as good as The Black Mirror?
>>154194307legion of superheroes
It's a great line but /co/ is a cesspool of miserable contrarian fags
>>154207597nah, for once you can tell there's more believers than contrarians, at least during storytimes
>>154207202No. But it was a fun arc.
>>154207202both just mid/passable scripting with good art
>>154194307I think there's a big possibility to do something really clever with Absolute Lobo, but I'm not sure what that is.
Let me guess, for "reasons" the absolute heroes will not kill? Just let the evil fester and not cut away the rot.
>>154210553Bro your Absolute Green Arrow?
