I don't like how lois is such a rude cunt to Jimmy in this book. I get that he's obnoxious, but he's trying to do what's right and he's hanging in there through all the shit. There's no need to be so mean to him. Otherwise Absolute Superman is feeling like a slog again. It got interesting there for a few issues, but I guess I just don't like it that much.

I thought this issue of AGL was excellent. Very well written, paneled, and paced. The heart it brings adds gravity to the cosmic horror element the book has been striving for since issue 1. Also I like Jo's big fat ass.

Ra's caught my interest when he dropped the baby off the skyscraper. What I don't care about is Kal's whining. He broods more than Batman at his worst.

I'm sure that what Ra's said at the end there is correct. Superman will turn out of desperation and his lack of a sense of self. When he is deployed as a villain against the other Absolute heroes, that may get good. But I think the best element of this book is Brainiac.

It's not a big deal to me because I prefer the titles being separate anyway but Lazarus feels like something that should have a more visible presence in the other Absolute titles with how all seeing they're portrayed as here which is not the case at all.

Myself and others have said the same thing, but Lazarus has been portrayed as operating primarily in the global south, and AS is the only book which has shown that part of the world much. It seems Smallville is the exception.

We saw a little bit of South America in the last AWW, and AB had an issue take place in a flashback in Santa Prisca, where Joker was shown to operate. I suspect Joker's operation and Arks have had some collaboration with Lazarus since even before the meeting in Absolute Evil. In that it was implied that Ra's was at least familiar with Joker so it's not unreasonable that they have worked together. They may have agreed to not step on each others' toes, so maybe Joker gets to do the malfeasance in North America while Lazarus btfos the thirdies.

It's weird. I agree that I can't stand this Lois much but I can't really say I like this Superman much either. Or rather, he's not much of a character it feels like. He's just there. I guess that's the point, that he was robbed of his chance to develop attachments and character on Earth, beyond just be good, but it just leaves him not feeling fun or interesting to watch. I like the Braniac of this run and it's at least sort of interesting seeing Ra's set his sights on Superman but it's not really working when the Superman and his supporting cast aren't holding their weight.

You know, Jo is a "Tomar" because she can use the green flame without understanding. But isn't this because its her ring who got infused by the green flame and not her?

Okay, reading through it now, some posters come across as very sycophantic, looks like Kyle will show up, but not this year,
the question in regards to Hal and Carol isn't surgesting they will hook up at least from my reading of it
>Q, Are there any plans on developing Hal Jordan and Carol Ferris as a relationship? Thus far they haven't even met each other yet, but im hoping we get an arc where these two develop and get along at some point (i assume that they will since thats how they are in the main universe but just asking if there are any plans for them as a couple in general)

He isn't because he is literally speaking with Johns about this comic behind the scenes.
All of this feels like Johns and Ewing talking to each other and Ewing also ghostwriting for him.

Also, Bi Jo retcon was Johns idea because originally she was a carpet muncher.
And Adams is literally hinting Jo and Guy being a thing due to how close they are right now, and the fact that DC had Guy screw his relationship with Ice badly.

My only issue with modern Ewing is that he takes too long to get to the point, even when the plot is supposed to be ambiguous. I think he's doing a better job with Immortal/Mortal Thor but even then it takes like 5 issues before a major thing happens. I dunno if that's the consequences of being subjected to being trapped in X-Men books for a couple a years but someone should try to get him his mojo back

>So Gold being used for the panel where she's saying she doesn't understand anything makes no sense, isn't Gold = Enlightenment and full understanding?
You have it of course, exactly backwards: classical enlightenment, and in many places not just Eastern thought, was keen on the idea that more Enlightenment brought less understanding as one became more aware of the limits of traditions perception and existence. To truly no know nothing was to beyond the experience of most people, who could not even grasp the limits of their experiences.

Within the paradigm here, we have what we've seen before (Black - no restraint, Red - restraint, Green - directed action, Gold - true understanding) and with the idea of Enlightenment being "understanding nothing," the idea is probably coming to terms with the rigid parameters of the previous "levels" being wrong. Their "understanding" of things is wrong.

It's one of the better issues, but the problem is it's not the first time it's kind of wallowed in its character themes to the expensive of real forward motion. Had it been the first, I think it would be accepted more.

I rather like all the issues so far, but it is an inescapable critique that the way it's set up is long on words but short on action (and not just shounen battle action like the last issue either). It feels like we're getting a lot of character motivational set up, but because it's all flashbacks its lacking the oomph of the characters then executing on that build up.

Naruhodo. Basically her entire life was centered around pleasing or rejecting her father, the former crushing her as she had to compromise her morals, and the latter to bring chaos to her life.
Essentially, she was going through her own version of OA and MU.
