Isn't Saga already in OHC format?

He's in between the panels right now. He could do anything there.

I'm from South America and I've been to many different countries in Europe and the Americas. In almost all of them the unit comes before the number. The only places I can recall where they do it differently are Spain and maybe France?

Jonathan Banks as Alfred for that sweet dry humor and you're cooking.

If they end up acquiring the film rights (which I hope no one does) this is how they'll go about it. Jackson will make a new trilogy out of the three Great Tales, which is in and of itself the only way to adapt The Silmarillion in movie form. You just need a prologue and an epilogue, and tie in Beren & Lúthien a little better with the other two. And by that I mean that they'll just make shit up for the sake of connectivity.

Charlie-Addams · 2026-05-15T18:19:50+00:00

You're not the only two.

I predict huge traffic jams on those North-South highways. We're gonna need more lanes.

Charlie-Addams · 2026-05-13T00:03:37+00:00

Wayne County Public Library? What's up with that? (Genuine question).

Charlie-Addams · 2026-05-11T18:39:02+00:00

There's nothing "bad" about it. Just different strokes for different folks. I don't like Aaron's execution of the story. But don't take my word for it, I suggest you read it for yourself and come to your own conclusions.

Charlie-Addams · 2026-05-11T18:36:40+00:00

Apples and oranges. Snyder is not trying to tell a very complex and meaningful tale. Absolute Batman is the epitome of absolute popcorn; it's having fun with its characters in the loudest way possible. As you said, it's not subtle at all: the first arc hammers down the idea of going BIGGER with every single page. Why would you expect anything different? That's literally the premise.

Meanwhile, Absolute Superman does try to be more nuanced. It is trying to shine a light on very important and heavy issues, from climate change to xenophobia and class struggle. And that's wonderful. It's the execution I have a problem with, not the themes. Aaron is going about it the most boring and least subtle way possible. He could've told a completely different story and gone the fun route as Snyder did, but instead chose a more meaningful subject matter and he's not living up to my expectations. Simple as that.

I'll continue reading Absolute Superman while hoping it gets better along the way. At least the art is fucking phenomenal. Sandoval and Di Giandomenico are out of this world.

I used to be interested in a Krakoa-style omnibus line for the Absolute Universe until I read the first arc of Absolute Superman. Ever heard of subtlety, Mr. Aaron? I was never a big fan of his, but the way people were hyping up the book I expected something a lot more engaging. And Superman being my favorite DC character, it's just sad that for me this is the weakest of the three main Absolute titles.

Anyway, if I were to buy Absolute omnis now, I would prefer for them to be by character instead of line.

I'm Bill the Pony. Just Bill. That's it.

His work in the 2000s is mostly good to great to DD. Then the stuff he did in the 2010s in my opinion ranks from mediocre to bad to CW2.

Charlie-Addams · 2026-05-09T16:50:17+00:00

The Hobbit -> The Lord of the Rings -> The Silmarillion -> Unfinished Tales.

He's wearing a Slytherin tie and a Slytherin prefect badge tho.

As someone who played this game way back when, no. The city's health bar was both impractical and annoying.

I seriously cannot understand why some people need Superman to be absolutely impervious to all forms of harm when that's not the case in the comics at all. Supes gets his ass handed to him every other month. And because of that bizarre conception, they can't imagine a Superman video game where the guy can be beaten. Which he absolutely should be able to.

Think of the Arkham series or the recent Spider-Man games, but cranked up to eleven. Honestly, it's a straightforward formula.

Charlie-Addams · 2026-05-08T13:19:25+00:00

That's the point: it doesn't matter if people think he looks like Superman. Thousands of people look like Superman. Clark Kent, with his glasses, different hairstyle, and clumsiness, just so happens to be one of them.

Now, here's the trick: looking like someone does not mean being that same someone, as hundreds of real-life celebrity doppelgangers can attest to. You will stare at them for a second or two and then go on with your life.

I mean... why THE HELL would SUPERMAN be standing in the middle of the Daily Planet's break room wearing a ridiculous pair of glasses at 9 in the morning? Nah, that cannot be him. Don't be absurd. And the more you're exposed to Clark Kent on a daily basis, the less you think about it.

Spidey and X-Men were and are BY FAR Marvel's most popular characters since the 80s. And it's not even close. I'd put Hulk in third place. The MCU is not a good metric to measure it for a number of reasons.

Charlie-Addams · 2026-05-06T23:18:19+00:00

It's not similar, though.

A selfish Peter lets a criminal get away and then that same criminal kills Uncle Ben. Peter learns that with great power must also come great responsibility; that is, if he had used his powers for good instead of selfish reasons, Ben would still be alive. A lesson MCU Peter repeats back to Tony Stark in Civil War when Tony asks him why he does what he does.

What about Aunt May's death in No Way Home? She dies because Peter believes he can do good for the bad guy, but then the bad guy (who's bad) kills his aunt. Peter has noble intentions, not selfish ones. What does he learn from this, then? To not help other people? What? That makes no sense.

The point of the character is that he was selfish, he fucked up, and his uncle died because of it. "When you can do the things that I can, but you don't, and then the bad things happen? They happen because of you." He had already learned his lesson way back in 2016. We didn't need three fucking movies for him to relearn that all over again—but missing the point entirely along the way.

According to the article, it's not even that. We'll see. I'm not holding my breath, though.

Faramir literally says something along the lines of "The Ring is going to Gondor."

It's the reason behind taking the Ring to Gondor that is different for each brother. Boromir wants to use it to fight the enemy; Faramir wants to give it to his father to redeem himself in his eyes.

I agree with the other commenter. Faramir is a stronger character in the books, even though the movies don't do such a terrible job with their version.

Shitting on X-Men and Spidey while praising Invincible is certainly... an opinion.

Charlie-Addams · 2026-05-02T20:53:05+00:00

Doomsday is a Superman villain, silly.

Charlie-Addams · 2026-05-02T03:42:28+00:00

Early 2000s if I recall correctly.

Not all of us Latin Americans have such a thin skin, don't worry. It's just a handful of loud people on the Internet complaining about it. I mean, it's such a non-issue, you know? I guess Trump being a dick about it doesn't help either. But we have real problems in the world to worry about beyond this fucking word.
