he doesn't have most of the benefits OG supe did by actually growing up on earth from birth and being raised incognito with a loving family and community in smallville. by the time Clark Kent became Superman he was already a well-rounded adult
Absolute Superman was ruined by the destruction of Krypton and doesn't have 20+ years to grow up safe and loved before moving to metropolis. He got fucked over harder than even Wonder Woman did with the destruction of all the amazons, since Circe turned out to be fucking mother of the century and still had Diana grow up loved and cared for even in literal hell

Abso Wonder Woman and Martian Manhunter are legit great

Batman is over the top but the art is nailing the delivery, so it works.

Flash and GL are boring but mostly harmless

idk overall there's a vibe of "Heroes Reborn" when it should feel more like a Tangent U

imo Absolute Batman has been getting better since the first arc, which was kind of weak, and AWW has been falling off after its extremely strong opening. Superman floundered in the beginning with excessive flashbacks, but it's getting better.

I was going to say this black and white panels look almost decent compared to rest of the book, and that maybe part of the blame of how bad everything else looks is of the colorist, and then i realized there is no colorist, which i guess explains a lot.

It's not particularly confusing, but it is trying to lean on the "mystery" of what happened. Which is of some interest, but it doesn't feel like it needed to be dragged out for five months. It's been playing a bit coy with the IS HAL A VILLAIN NOW?!?!? set up, but I never really bought it and it became pretty clear last month this is all a fucked up situation forced on him.

I disagree with that, sometimes seeing an artist develop through a run can be half the fun of reading it.
The Doug Moench/Bill Sienkiewicz Moon Knight is a good example of that.
I don't think Jahnoy Lindsay's art is very comparable to Henry Flint's art though, which Ewing compares him to for some reason, maybe in some attempt to hype up his co-creator.

I don't know, but there's allusions to Darkseid here. The Black Hand talks about god being a big black zero(like how the Martian calls Darkseid bad idea #0) and it tells Hal he needs to the Black Star inside of the circle.
Since the Black Hand is also from Abin Sur it looks to be some Darkseid mindfuckery Hal wil have to overcome or be consumed by and become the Black Star. Since the Black Hand is feeding off his fear, Abin Sur is could essentially be telling him to fall under its effects faster. He still has the green lantern brainwashed speech bubbles here after all, and Abin Sur seems like a title her, not the name of a person.

Caught up on all the Absolute stuff recently, overall enjoying it although most of the books had a rough start
Absolute Supes is suffering from the writer just not being that good, he wants to weave all this social commentary into the plot but he's not competent enough to do this in an engaging way, also it doesn't feel like he has much insightful to say beyond the obvious. When the comic is just being a basic sci fi action story it actually gets better as that's within the writer's abilities I guess.
Absolute GL is also getting better but hasn't found it's footing yet. Willing to give Jo a chance but so far she's pretty uninteresting compared to zesty uncle John and anime protagonist Hal

yes. because the focus is on entertaining people rather than being a hall monitor who’s thumping a manifesto while saying “DIS IS OH-PRESSION!”
it’s universally known by talented writers that the secret to good writing is just being entertaining without shoehorning in a preconceived theme, that is usually just retreading obvious ground like “oppression bad”. themes emerge naturally whenever you write something regardless, and it’s actually good because entertainment delivers the theme in a unique and insightful way.
Absolute Superman has nothing insightful to offer because it delivers it in a boring, monotonous way. for its own sake rather than to enhance the theme or draw attention to anything unique about it

It's still incredibly unclear what's actually going on besides the surface level, immediate stuff. The fact that Abin-Sur "curses" Hal with the black hand as he dissolves into goop is not exactly obvious in its meaning. Why not just kill Hal? We can gather he's not actually been killing any one else, but if he's trying to lash out at Hal what's the point of this? Is he trying to turn him into another agent of something? The problems Hal's been having as the Black Hand are very different from what Abin-Sur was doing. Maybe he's, like, meant to just be a containment vessel?

Should've just been Guy, Hal, and John at the start to be honest. Guy gets zapped but everyone not retarded understood he wasn't actually killed (so of course there were people in the storytime thread complaining that he'd been killed...), have a chapter or two of Hal and John doing their thing like we got but then cut back to Guy becoming the Green Lantern. Bring Jo in later if you really want to use her for some reason, but it's a lot of characters being juggled alongside the main story setup at the moment

The only thing that can redeem Jo being the green Lantern is Hal impregnating her.

No. Hall will marry Jo and there is nothing you can do about it.

if “fun” means acting like brainwashed cattle, cooming at whatever slop WB and Disney throw at you, then you are an animal. you will consume whatever content that’s thrown at you as long as it’s sexualized, like a pig eating slop out of the trough. you are cattle being shepherded by corporate giants with a carrot on a stick

You do realize AGL isn't Harley Quinn, right?

Flash seems to be the one talked about the least, I like it though, the art is nice and the setup so far seems interesting enough
Barry is either the speedforce itself or is some sort of reverse Flash type thing
Cute monkey Grodd is psychically gaslighting Wally into doing stuff and Thawne is an evil middle aged(?) femcel, that has potential to be fun
Wally himself is alright, standard confused teenager being forced to grow up quickly type protagonist. I wonder if we're really gonna have this literal kid in the main lineup of this universe's eventual Justice League though

The Abin Sur is dead, I don't think Hal can impregnate him. Besides Jo is the more likely ship to the being Deuteragonists.

Flash AF is just alright, there are worse Absolute books and there are better ones. I trust Lemire more than some of these other writers too, compare to GL and Supes which were spinning it's wheels for the first few issues and very slowly introducing characters and concepts, Flash had a bunch of characters introduced quickly and pretty effortlessly.

Thawne from the 25th century so she's probably more like Thawne's ancestor, I'm pretty sure we saw Thawne in the first issue as well when we flash forward a year into the future and see the weird hooded guy.
I'm betting Grandma Thawne does something that eventually allows Eobard to go back in time, combined with something Wally does. Her position is looking pretty shaky anyways, Wally's dad and the rogues both have problems with her.

Thing is.....nothing of these is sexualized, we're making sexy ideas with them because WB and Disney and Big Twos are prude and boring, so we're not eating, we're imagiing that there is something to eat

AGL hasn't been my favorite Absolute title, but this is the first AGL issue that I actually liked. Some decent action, some actual plot development, no more slow-paced what the fuck is even going on stuff.

not true at all. they specifically do targeted campaigns like gwenpool so “shippers” on tumblr and deviantart will eat it up. this then trickles down into the paychecks of artists who take commissions on R34, looping back into more comic sales.
you’re participating in and amplifying the cattle culture of animal-brained NPCs that corrupt, rent-seeking cartoonists rely on.

That would work if it wasn't safe horny, like Gwenpool and MJ are ok but they're for safe horny sheeps that call beautiful even a tranny with fake lips and beard.
The only thing we have left is putting them into AI porn and have something sexy, otherwise we have to pay up someone and no many of us can now

I like the red dust cape thing and how it looks with the helmet on
It just doesn't look like something Superman would wear though, I think it's a cool idea for a rebooted Steel if anything

Knights have drifted into fantasy so such concerns no longer matter. The image is someone with a sword and heart of justice that fights dragons.
