Has the Martian said that much before this? It's sticking out to me for some reason. That being said, I do like the image of them out on the beat, even if M's being a bit of a little shit with the headpats here.

>>149516351
I think he has called him that a couple of times before.

>>149514946
This is the first time in a while I've actually been intrigued by this kind of "end of issue, oh shit what is this" page in a comic book

Thoughts on the fan theory that Absolute Martian Manhunter's whole deal is questioning what is the most alien thing possible for someone like John?
Human empathy and understanding, putting yourself in someone else's situation and seeing the humanity in other's regardless of what they've done

>>149514939
The hell does tiger force even mean?

Interesting how AMM is the first book of the series to actually notice Darkseid and not AbsSuperman.

>>149514825 (OP)
Martian manhunter is one of my favorite comics atp. I can't remember the last time I was this hyped for a run.

>>149514946
>>149514950
Is this the first depiction of Darksied in absolute?

>>149516481
THIS IS A GENERATIONAL RUN

No one knows, but it goes hard.

Is the scientist an already established character in a previous issue? Because, they make a big deal about him calling her too big. Ray Palmer?

>>149514846
>Omega
The answer was always there

>>149518088
We've known from the start that the entire Absolute setting was Darkseid's creation so it's not a big revelation, but yeah the little hints are neat.

Man hunters art looks fun but I just don’t trust any modern comic

>>149518165
You don't have to let it file your taxes, you just have to read it.

But what if DC contaminated the ink so that when i lick my thumb to turn the page I get a lethal dose of anthrax?

What then?

>>149514956
I really want to see Sherman on more Wonder Woman books

>>149516620
Yeah, Camp can get a bit navel gazel-y with his bullshit but he's doing a great job here.

>>149514946
Again, this is easily the most interesting absolute so far. Reminds me of vertigo DC back in the day.

Absolute Mindfucker is definitely carried by the trippy art, but the story is interesting enough that I'd probably still read it even if it had more generic art.

The fact that John's family is both at risk from the dogkiller and the anthrax chocos is putting me on edge. After John broke down last issue, distressed his wife may leave him, I really really hope they survive this run.

I've been loving these two books so far, and I am loving them.
But I do think this issue of Absolute Martian Manhunter is a step back from issues 1-4. Also if they are going to make this the run which is focused on Darkseid and that grander continuity, I think that's a mistake. AMM is so unique, which is a huge part of why it's so great to read, and getting bogged down in DC cosmic retardation will lessen that appeal.

I thought Absolute Wonder Woman 10 was fantastic. I love the art and the panel lay outs, buy it and read it physically, it's much better that way.
The story continues to be neat, the mythos is captivating. That flash back to Steve and the gang was a bit awkward. I would like there to be more focus on Diana and Steve's romance, but that's my usual complaint with almost anything Wonder Woman.

>>149514950
I'm sorry but this is still just very boring for me.
I don't understand what people love so much about it.

>>149522530
I had this idea
>Absolute Shazam
>It's about a cynical 40-something year old man who, despite his successes in life is entirely lacking in human connection and love. After he discovers a magical staff, he gets the power to turn into a superpowered magical boy. It's about him rediscovering his innocence and connection with the world around him, therefore finding the will to do good in the world.
>Without the wizard. Without the childhood. Without the gods. What’s left is the Absolute Mightiest Mortal!
>Absolute Aquaman
>Instead of a hybrid king, is an Atlantean soldier who defects to try and protect humanity from an encroaching invasion of his own people
>Without the crown. Without the humanity. Without the family. What’s left is the absolute Atlantean!

I don't know where my head was at reading AMM the first time, I didn't even clock that was Bridget and John's son picking up the poison Chocos, I must have forgot his name was Tyler.

>>149522530
Billy without one of his forms? Or full power rangers.

>Absolute Aquaman.
The current run is already doing Aquaman without Atlantis, so it is harder to guess.

What a bot response. It doesn't even slightly apply here.

>>149519151
I want to see Sherman and Watters on Tec and Tom Taylor ran out on a rail

But I'll take what I can get

>>149523473
Then pick up the slack and storytime some comics then on NCBD

>>149522876
As time goes on I hate Tom King more and more. The fact that they’re not using the upcoming reboot as a way to bring Alfred back and reset some of the continuity stuff is very disheartening.

AMM is the best thing DC has put out in the last five years, maybe longer.

>>149514890
more faggotry

>>149514946
Peam

Should have recognized that this direction would occur eventually, given where J'onn ends up in Ostrander's Earth One-Million story.

>>149516481
Yeah, definitely. First time I'm actually fascinated by a mainstream comic. It's beautiful.

>>149525453
It's the best thing either of the big two in general have done in longer than I can even remember. It will be a genuine tragedy when this run ends.

>>149522625
It could be the opposite, Aquaman without his connection to the human world.

>>149527350
If it keeps selling like this and the following is still there after the hiatus, I wouldn’t be at all surprised if it gets another extension of additional issues.

>>149527795
The problem is that it WILL falter at some point either in the writing or art. My hope is they decide to end on a high note when either of them realise they're slowing down

>>149522594
I'm sure there's a Godzilla vs Superman book for you out there

>>149522601
I saw someone else do a very similar concept on absolute Shazam that you did, and it seems to me like they invariably court Miracleman comparisons.

>>149527795
Problem is, Absolute MM seems to be following a largely interconnected mystery plot. It is interesting for now because it keeps moving forward and delving into the mysteries of the world, but extending that too much leads to problems as it starts to drag out and either become diluted or begin a new arc that often doesn't hit as hard.

As much as it pains me, I would much rather it resolve with one strong arc than either get bloated with filler or flub a new arc.

>>149529384
Yeah AMM has one strong thread, quell the chaos of the modern modern world and beat the White Martian. If the book continues, either WM is defeated at the end of the Arc and it moves on to a new threat which will be lesser in context and thematic purpose. Or the WM exists as the overarching antagonist and the book either spins its wheels doing problem of the week until they are told to wrap it up or the impetus of the run fades into the background as other shit starts coming up.

>>149529382
Huh?

>>149530501
You haven't read Miracleman?

>>149514946
It’s so weird how this universe created by fucking Darksied is arguably more hopeful than the mainline one

>>149531219
hope shines greater against the dark.

How will John get out of this one. Really interested to see how this concludes next month before the hiatus. I feel like the hiatus is... intentional. With absolute evil coming out in three months idk

>>149532427
Theres a hiatus?

>>149531057
>The Dark Circle
>Multiple mentions of the Great Darkness in AMM

>>149533467

>>149533773
For all the titles or just MM?

>>149522594
Filtered

>>149533805
just MM
they don't want artist fill ins

>>149514946
So is the implication here that Darkseid created the Absolute universe? If so it's interesting that the Big Two are both doing hot new AUs and both of them were created by established villains

>>149534450
yeah that's what happened in the all in special

>>149514946
another terrific issue. it really reminds me of the marvel Inferno stories where they used the heatwave/blackout setting to lead into some wackout shit.

>>149521549
Thanks

>>149534450
IMO Absolute is handling this better than Ultimate is by a landslide. I'm not usually a big Darkseid fan at all, but the way they are treating him as a cosmic horror entity in Absolute (and having plenty of Absolute comics running largely standalone without his involvement outside of vague influence on the world) is so far much more effective to me than what Ultimate is doing with the Maker nowadays.

Putting Ultimate's weird real time storytelling aside, I think Absolute is great at giving its runs more time to breathe and build the world instead of jumping right into WE'RE PUTTING TOGETHER A TEAM. People's interest in Ultimate Spider-Man in particular seems to have dropped off pretty hard when it started getting more into the overarching story instead of being a run about a family man Spider-Man. Not every Absolute is great, Superman and Flash are pretty lackluster and Green Lantern is mediocre but with interesting ideas, but I am still more engaged with the setting as a whole.

>>149533467
I think it originally was going to be a mini, but it ended up being extended

>>149537385
I wonder if it's intentional that she looks a lot like Absolute Black Mask in this outfit. She would fit in with the Party Animals gang just fine.

>>149537362
And the crossover bs begins. I know we were never going to get to keep these as they are, but you know the moment they start crossing over, the typical DC shenanigans will never end. I just hope they don't start making each series into homework to understand the others.

>>149537969
At least it’s in universe rather than multiverse bullshit
