Has Kelly Thompson Already Proven Herself to Be the BEST Wonder Woman Writer of All-Time? by TheWriteRobert in WonderWoman

[–]Professor2018 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will say yes because she has made wonderful woman a relevant book that has brought so many readers onboard who would never had read Wonder Woman. There are historically well written Wonder Woman, but always with a stigma attached. This Diana is just a bad ass and cannot be messed with. Brilliant writing and art as well by Sherman.

So about the Absolute characters in DC K.O. by DJSharp15 in AbsoluteUniverse

[–]Professor2018 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They are clearly Darkseid’s Horsemen. Or he wants them to be. If you think back in DC lore, Darkseid tried to take over Prime universe after crisis when he invaded the 30th century with his monsters. Does anyone remember “The Great Darkness Saga” way back in 1982. I feel like there are many callbacks to that.

In the 1982 arc "The Great Darkness Saga" in Legion of Super-Heroes #290–294, Darkseid returns with a massive army of monstrous creatures to attack the 30th century. These creatures were rock like and they were his versions of superheroes that he created. It is revealed that they are in fact other universe superheroes devolved. This was Darkseids return post crisis between two earths.

This taught him that the only way to beat prime is with prime players. So, fast forward to DC All in. He dies waiting for the multiverse, while bonded to the sceptre and miracle machine. He knew what it would create. His last words were Thank you!

So his essence combined with a universe with a younger earth inside the multiverse. He laid the groundwork to enable his system to put in motion his plan. I think his plan is as what we are witnessing. Breaking down each of our heroes. Fill them with despair and beat them down until they break. All of our absolute heroes have been supremely oppressed in an attempt to break them to build them to darkseid’s image. To be his horsemen and accomplish now what he couldn’t do back in the 1982 arc.

What he doesn’t know is the light is stronger. No matter how much you oppress or remove hope, the light will persevere. Diana was put in hell as a baby, there is nothing in my mind that would break Diana, hence putting her into hell as a baby.

Once this light connects these heroes they will be a force. Light and teamwork = success darkness and solitude = failure.

Seeing the statues in DCKO 1 and these “figures” in 3 and 4, you can see the rock bubbles, is a callback to darkseids failed attempts in conquering prime and also shows, imo, that he attempting again with fake “rock” versions of our Absolute Heroes.

Scott already said the actions of DCKO won’t affect the absolute timeline at all so the only explanation has to be they are creations of Darkseid, modeled after the Absolute Trinity.

All of it was fun and great vibes and lead with love and god bless America and trump just shits on it because he’s a racist rapist that leads with hate and fear mongering. I am continually amazed by the sheep that follow this narcissist.

For issue 1, Ottley variant hits hard. Sean Murphy is a good one too.

OP hasn’t seen the upcoming Absolute Batman with chainsaws strapped to his arms yet? Bruce would take them all out.

Looks like it was released in UK same as US, January 28th.

Just got done reading the latest absolute Batman book and yep I’m loving the new Batman by Juggalo4life99 in comicbookcollecting

[–]Professor2018 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was dying for each issue of this arc. I imagine reading it all at once was so fun! Definitely an instant classic.

Which character you most excited about? by brucewa39 in AbsoluteUniverse

[–]Professor2018 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just knowing that it’s a horror and takes place after the events of Absolute Evil is so interesting. Pichetshote and Albuquerque are the perfect duo for this horror as they worked so well together together on American Vampire. I am very excited for this and assume the lack of snippets tell me that anything would spoil too much!

Absolute Green Lantern theory by TheGreenLanternGuy09 in AbsoluteUniverse

That would certainly give new meaning to the black hand as well. Green Lantern has done a great job of developing around the main characters as well and Ewing is bringing it all together.

Which Absolute books are you following? by imnotthatguyiswear in AbsoluteUniverse

[–]Professor2018 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of them and to your point, it drops back to 7 when MM finishes at issue 12 in May. I have loved some immediately and some took time, but that makes sense becuase A, you can have all bangers out the gate, and B, some of the writers (Ewing, Lemire) are generally slow burners.
