>>155580914This comic is getting worse.
>>155580888I'm not sure if, when I think about it, I actually like it, but it's hard not to appreciate how consistently this Bruce is a guy who can go "But it'll feel really good."
>”The future is set.”
>>155580990I do actually like these too. It's easy to read them as literally being Fear with how they talk about it.
>>155581036>just a tech suitI do like that. It's the best part of Far From Home, frankly.

>>155580939Absolute bot
Kind of disappointed how Scarecrow just uses fear toxin like his main counterpart. I was for sure that he had something metahuman going on or something involving the crows, but I guess not.
>>155581089We can't do anything about the spammers except report them and kick them off the board by MAKING MORE THREADS. But to see the comics side not even trying, to see it cower and gradually recede into one thread? The situation is hopeless, and this surrender is making it even worse. There are fewer and fewer comic book threads every time I come here. My threads do worse every time. Seeing /shelf/ die with less than 100 posts every couple of months and seeing storytimers combine all of Wednesday's books into one thread is dire. Put it out of its misery.
>>155580914>>155580913Kinda annoyed that Scarecrow is already apparently beaten. He was a highlight of the run after Bane. Not really confident in this Batgirl either.
>>155581213>Not really confident in this Batgirl either.Jesus Fucking Christ I can't believe I'm writing this but I've got genuine faith in Snyder to deliver
>>155581236Hell, you're probably right and I'm just being overly pessimistic. So far the run has been fun. Fuck it even has a Harley I like, which is a character I usually can't stand. Maybe this Batgirl will surprise as well.
>>155580966CUTE HAIR
>>155581036fake ass mf couldnt even afford shoes>>155581080I'm sure theres someone out there that would be excited by the atom but that someone is not me
>>155581281Well apparently he's gonna be a bad mentor for Wally, so that's interesting.
>>155581236>I've got genuine faith in Snyder to deliverHow the fuck did we get to this point.
>>155580981This artist can't decide how to draw Steve, he looks so different each time he appears
>>155580913Feels unearned to be honest. Too many characters in this, most of them don't feel developed.Court of Owls being good guys da jokah wiped out is maybe a bit underwhelming but with how much shit is going on in this, maybe keeping it simple is for the best. Maybe we'll get some mom & son crimefighting eventuallyThis book is at it's best when it's adrenaline-fuelled dumb fun, when it tries to be serious Snyder struggles with it imo>>155581082He looks like Arrowverse Atom lol
>>155581213>spoileri doubt he's out for good. Snyder already said he has plans for Bane to come back, no reason Crane wouldn't return either especially considering he was so successful at ruining Bruce's rep. i do wish he was around more though
>>155581599I guess I'm just disappointed it looks wrapped up already for now. He did so well up until now so I thought he'd have a bigger send off. But maybe that'll be saved for later.
>>155581624yeah, i get your gripes. honestly, i was hoping he would just escape and that'd be the last of him for the arc, saving him for later appearances. but yeah, i'm sure he'll be back eventually, he's clearly one of Joker's top guys and Snyder was hyping him up a lot, i'm sure he'll be back and he'll (hopefully) get defeated in a better way next time
>>155580846My guy did a good job, had a fun time, and is just strollin on home with a spring and a song in his step
>>155580874It's only really been done starting with the Nultimate books, and then only really continued with Absolute and closely related books, from what I recall. I think it works well enough, gets people to check out comics they might not have bothered opening another (or any) tab for.
>all three chapters have a heavy focus on fear and messing with people's minds interesting
>>155580893fucking narutorunning Scarecrow lmao
>>155580909Holy fucking Kino
>>155580906sick
>>155581046So the Still Point is actually constraining the Speed Force?
I think I get the meta-narative point around scarecrow, but it falls on it's face when reality meets the curb. There are social movements that get targetted with disinfo all the time, but the bit about the court of owls is funny. Left or right you have things come out all the time about how x figure or y group has backing from an NGO, or a contact thats linked to z goverment instution, which then muddys the water as people realize it's likely opposition control or kayfabe for corporate oligarchs/technocrats/etc. The court of owls are being written in a way where that kind of narative is itself disinfo, but overwhelmingly in real life it isn't, it's the truth.
>>155580994I was hoping for a “gaze into the face of fear” moment.
>>155581259I can hear the “unattractive low iq female” from here.
Daily reminder that Babs is called "The Bat" in this.I hope this means Cass gets to be Batgirl, especially with how good her one shit was.
>>155581718The Krakoa X-books were doing multibook storytimes well before Nu-Ultimate and Absolute
>>155580846This page is pure kino.
>>155580966SEX with Absolute Diana in casual clothing while Barbara watches
>>155580940Still digging the gods' design in this series.

>>155581469I don't mind since all the designs so far are pretty good.
>>155580986What they expect to get from WW with lawsuits? Is she even an american to be able to be sued by an american court?
>>155582617>noooo you needed to do nothing so the kaiju from hell could kill us all!! why did you deafen us for a half hour so you could save our lives?? AAAIIIEEEEEEEAre gateway citizens retarded?
>>155582639They do live in California
>>155580909All his aura, gone forever.
>>155582275>her one shitkekBut I agree, I hope Cass isn't stuck being just a ninja girl
My biggest problem with AB is how little character development there is for some of the characters. Like why did we need all the Robins if the only two that matter are Dick and Jason, to the point where we don't even seen Steph and Duke react to Tim's death.
>>155581718fuck off with your revisionist history
>>155580888It kind of sucks that Bruce didn’t figure this out on his own and his literal mom had to hand him the answer sheet. I know it’s supposed to show that Absolute Batman’s real superpower is his more intimate support system, but still.
>>155582692generational aura loss from Scarecrow, which sucks because I really liked him
>>155581361It seems Dragotta is copiloting this ship and helping keep things squarely in "fun retarded" waters instead of just "retarded"
>>155582771From the start it felt like the Robins point was only to prop up Gotham hating Batman and driving him deeper and deeper into a corner. They were ammunition to use against Batman rather than their own character. I imagine that will continue until we're down to one.
>>155580966Oh Diana
>>155582974Same as Capullo all those years ago.
>>155583077Yeah, but even so they've been barely used. I feel like there's a lot of fun to be had with the theme that they're basically action figures in giant toy robots sent out to be popular with the masses but ultimately fail.Also, for Slade being on the cover of #19, I'm starting to wonder if he'll ever actually suit up or even do anything in this arc.
>>155580893>he is fast!
>>155582452Yeah but putting all the trash into one designated place is just common sense
>>155580906Cute bat!
>>155580913I have black girlboss fatigue
>>155580853>Look, Scarecrow is a master of psyops, not a poet. It was very all very scary at the time.
>>155580903Is top left a flashback of his crossover with WW?
>>155581036>Got his ass kicked by a teen girlBruh
>>155583199Absolute Slade feels like he's in Absolute Batman to tease the future Absolute Titans book.Scarecrow and Joker have done most of the work this arc.
>>155580909How very anime
>>155580874Storytime it yourself if you hate it so much.
>>155580874Please understand, nobody gives a fuck about any other Absolute comic, so they all have to piggyback off Batchad.

>>155584539Holy shit that's a lot of Batgirl. Fucking hell. The fourth on the left, second row, with Catwoman has real "imagine" energy.
>>155580906>You'll never make doubt it again.Nice proofreading, DC. Though maybe they're deliberating pandering to the ESLs here.
>>155584638It really annoys me that they keep advertising issues as "the big first appearance of [insert character here]" or "a huge issue about so-and-so" and selling a million variant covers only for that character to be barely in the issue. They've done it three times with this arc: the Robins issue, the Two-Face and Penguin issue, and now this issue.
>>155584595uuu
>>155584562RIP china
>>155580899I only started Absolute Batman around the Poison Ivy arc. Who is Alfred's daughter?
>>155584539The whole variant cover idea is out of hand now
>>155581310What do you mean by "bad mentor" >>155581867Probably why they were all released this week.
>>155580846ReadingAlso, continued Scarecrow being based
>>155580888Didn't Batman want to be a bogeyman? Doesn't this help him?>>155580909Cool>>155582926Yeah, felt like it got wrapped up a bit too quickly.Hope the next volume doesn't have this issue/absolute Harley Quinn mom/dr Arkham is cool.
>>155582787No anon I just didn't care about a bunch of poser ruining X-Men again, apparently. Please forgive me.
>>155584441Man, that's a tight butt.
>>155581036>overpowered by little girlI'm not that familiar with Flash, is this villain like this in the mainline too?
>>155584595>>155584735Diana is cute, this is canonical in all continuities.

>>155588969The arc isn't over, The Straw Man ends with 25.
>>155582150Yeah, this garbage for leftists.
>>155582926This makes Absolute Batman less intimidating than the original.
>>155585542Whatever Lemire meant here.
>>155586676>>155587546>>155587933I'm not actually very invested, I just check out these storytimes on /co/ and started around when the Poison Ivy story came out (maybe one or two issues earlier). I've picked up a lot of what happened earlier by osmosis and/or people talking about it in the thread.
>>155589525>I'm not actually very investedOf course you're not interested. You skipped all the build up earlier. Starting so this far into a run is just wild.
>>155589455Is he a degenerate?
>>155588989Vascular even.
>>155580846bump
>>155580913>Black female Gambit with Batman mask
>>155581015Same. I hope they stick around for a bit. Diana has fought these guys in a million different runs, but I'm struggling to remember any where they actually stood out in some way.>>155585628He uses tech instead of having actual magic, but it's stuff from the distant future so it's far stronger and less fragile.
>>155582028Gave me a chuckle too.
I hope this is good. The 3DCGI is a dumb choice but maybe it will have enough style to look past it.
>>155580938tired of post-crisis slop

>>155580994I've been loving the head on a head design since it was first shown in concept art n' shit, and I'm glad it looks good already on page
>>155580909I feel like he should have at least beaten up scarecrow a bit more, guy looks like he still is quite lively despite being crucified, like I'd personally start hammering the guy while he's crucified until I get bored
>>155582926>>155589181AB isn't a detective, he's strictly an engineer.
>>155595043It's lame.

>>155580913Doesn't feel like this Bruce and Barbara are close enough for this scenario to have happenedHarley donning the mask for a bit would've made more sense (also would've looked sillier as she's built like a stick though), or maybe even Selina if it has to be a chick I dunno
>>155580877Very cool art, 'specially panels 2-4
>>155596207That's the problem with this book, it has ten thousand supporting characters who all get like one page of time every 3 issues
>>155585628In mainline, he is from the future. He get defeated here to show that he is a fraud.
>>155582728I hope Absolute Katana reappears too.
