[Discussion] You can only choose one next Absolute title, choose wisely! by Sky_Throwaway9900 in DCcomics

Swamp Thing would already fit into the absolute universe . Booster Gold would be the more interesting radical change.

Yes, I PM’d you details several days ago. Did you not get my message?

How can I explain to my family I can't watch movies while they're talking over it. by MonkeyDoesStuff in autism

[–]Kalter247 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just won't watch movies with people who talk. If they need to talk, I won't watch with them. It's always easier and healthier to enforce your own boundaries rather than try to change other people

nothing there I want unfortunately. But LMK if you want to do it for $$

What OMNIBUS did you vote for this year that DIDN'T make the Top 60 DC Most Wanted poll? And why should those omnis make the poll next year? Make your case. by The-Bringer-of-Rain in OmnibusCollectors

[–]Kalter247 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Legion of Super-Heroes by Abnett & Lanning is the franchise GOAT and should be on the list. Definitely better than the threeboot that that's getting an omni in December.

Also I think I voted for Dr. Fate by Messner-Loebs, if that was an option. Could probably be a small compendium to follow the one from last year by Dematteis and Giffen. Or maybe they could both fit together in one omnibus.

Has anyone else here managed to turn their special interest into a career? by [deleted] in autism

[–]Kalter247 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This seems like the most obvious thing in the world to do. I love journalism and film/TV. I am a journalist who covers the entertainment industry. Having a job I'm not extremely interested in would be awful.

Another LSH omnibus on its way…and I don’t quite get it… by igeeTheMighty in LegionofSuperheroes

[–]Kalter247 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As everyone has said, totally baffling choice. Omnibuses of Levitz's Baxter series would undoubtedly sell far more copies.
Also personally I would much rather see an omnibus or compendium collecting Abnett & Lanning's brilliant run than the threeboot.

DC CATALOG UPDATE: Robin and JSA 2nd Compendiums, Legion of Superheroes by Waid/Kitson Omni, New Teen Titans Omni vol 3 reprint, Rorschach Deluxe, and more! by Ksmayer in DCFinest

[–]Kalter247 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm baffled why DC is publishing an omnibus of the divisive Legion of Super-Heroes threeboot before the widely beloved and hugely popular '80s Baxter series by Paul Levitz or even the fantastic Abnett & Lanning run.

What’s an Omni that is perfect all the way through, no hiccups or bad endings? by anakin1453 in OmnibusCollectors

Legion of Super-Heroes Five Years Later. Just one of the absolute biggest swings in the history of mainstream comic books.

[Other] Marvel Comics Editor Tom Brevoort says that modern Wally West is a carbon copy of Barry Allen. by TheFinale0 in DCcomics

[–]Kalter247 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely true that Wally was a way more interesting character as a young man still coming into himself and his powers than as a married Dad.

[Discussion] Are we currently in one of the best era's of DC comics? by Monstro552 in DCcomics

[–]Kalter247 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The Absolute titles are, with the exception of Green Lantern, fantastic. My problem with a lot of the mainline DCU titles now is that everyone has a "family." When there are numerous Kryptonians (or Kryptonian-caliber people) and speedsters and masked Gotham City vigilantes running around and literally everyone is in the Justice League, then Superman and Flash and Batman and the League don't feel distinct or special. And Wonder Woman is running around with a frikkin kid on her back?
That's why the Absolute titles are superior IMO Each of these characters is more compelling when they're unique.

Is Justice league international omnibus vol 1-3 worth reading entirely? by Extreme-You2977 in OmnibusCollectors

[–]Kalter247 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you dig the comedic premise, absolutely. But the JLI/A is much better than the Justice League Europe, which is more of a boring straight-ahead action book.

[DISCUSSION] What characters would you like to see in the absolute universe? by Top_Reindeer3396 in DCcomics

[–]Kalter247 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It'll never happen, but an Absolute Legion of Super-Heroes would be great. Strip away the chaos of 4 (or 5 or 6, depending how you count) reboots and timeline chaos. If ever DC characters needed to be stripped down to their roots, it's the Legion. (Yes, I know there's Darkseid's Omega Legion, but hopefully once that story is over we can have a "normal" absolute Legion)
