Ultimate and Absolute are the only current cape comics worth reading, right?
I cant think of a single mainline universe marvel or DC book anyone is talking about
Ultimate and Absolute are the only current cape comics worth reading, right?
Immortal and Ewing have been good to Marvel.
Also, Absolute is all over the place, some are almost Vertigo quality, some are just rubbish (Batman, Superman).
i dont understand why people are so obsessed with absolute maritan manhunter. its not that good but people are acting like its the literal second coming of christ
It's trying something different? "Blue Collar" Batman and his $7 million dollar Bat-dump truck and non-lethal C4 is just more ludicrous Batshit.
The new Aquaman series is really great so far.
And I hear the Zatanna mini series is pretty good too.
I'm also excited for the 'Summer of Superman' one shots.
One shots are always fun, I wish there were more of them
It's trying something different?
what is it trying thats different exactly? I really really enjoyed the art but the story and dialogue bored me to tears. I would argue that some of the other books actually are doing different things. Superman, Flash, GL, even wondy
Admittedly Manhunter was a something of a slow burn, maybe to much for Le Phone Zoomer, but it's not even really a superhero title at all (WW barely is). A weird psychic alien story is a nice breath of fresh air, for a character who's hung around for ages as a C-lister.
Batman is great
no one cares about Aquaman bro
It's just edgier Batman, nothing special. We've done edgier Batman comics so many times before. If anything the premise is even a bit sillier than regular Batman, somehow.
Aquaman has been recycling the same half dozen plots longer than any of us have been alive, with no real sign of actually going anywhere or meaning anything.

Im enjoying the hell out of absolute ww
>A weird psychic alien story is a nice breath of fresh air, for a character who's hung around for ages as a C-lister.
I just feel like everyone has been sucking its dick. Saying its the best thing ever made and its the best absolute book to which i disagree. Like i said the art and the way theyre paneling things is incredible I just dont think the story that was told in issue 1 was all that interesting especially after the first few pages.
Sure, it's still great.
I'm not going to suck it's dick, It has to actually go somewhere first. I'd like to see it develop into some Flex Mentallo wierdness but who knows this early? The premise has potential, but DC wastes potential regularly.
I agree on WW.
MM#1 necessarily spends the entire first issue setting up the premise of the character, because it's so far from what's been done with it in the past. And it's trying to be artsy and clever about it. Whereas Batman and Superman are just "what if Batman and Superman were le politically topical"?
I guess it really depends on your devotion to Bat-comics. I enjoy Batman is spare doses. His ongoings don't appeal to me very much. Whichever of his rogues are "taking over Gotham" this month, I just cannot give a fuck.
Absolute Flash was one of the reasons I delayed my suicide I had been looking forward to it for months then #1 came out and it was boring as fuck. I feel so empty
Looking forward to the suicide or The Flash?
Same. This is the first Batman book I've read consistently since I was in high school, which was just after Knightfall. Everything since then has been trades of stories that interest me. Maybe that's why I like it, I'm not jaded by years of reading.
i dont care about aquaman or zatanna. i read the first like two issues of the question along the watchtower because i like denny o neils vic sage question and i decided to try this as my first renee montoya question book. its meh. cool premise though
Looking forward to the suicide or The Flash?
Absolute Flash. It let me down big time but at the same time its only one issue. Im a huge Wallyfag so im hoping it can turn into a great book
I've only really ever enjoyed Flash in the brief "runs" where he's been little more than supersonic.
Flash who can rub his ass cheeks together so fast that he can rewrite history, fabricate townhouses or reach the other side of the planet faster than the speed of thought holds zero interest to me.

i get that. I just liked wally as a character in previous runs
JLU is pretty good
I also like Challengers of the Unknown and Superman
is is the de facto JL ongoing right now ?
There's nothing wrong with Wally himself, but his powers have gone way past stupid.
Yes. They also have JSA and and a JL mini going but this is the JL ongoing.
JSA
call me a nerd but ive never understood why anyone cares about those old niggas
Absolute WW, Batman, Superman, Flash, GL
Are all awful. MM is decent at best and heavily carried by the art.
Ultimates, Ult Spider-man, Ult Panther, Ult Wolverine
All dog shit. Ultimate X-Men is good but it’s best if you don’t consider it to be connected to the others at all.
Ewing sucks all around but his metamorpho has been solid. IH fell off hard after issue 25 and was awful from there on. Thor has been awful since the beginning.
All of these are awful. Jamal Campbell is a worse writer than he is artist and he’s a pretty lackluster artist. The Aquaman solo sucks and I say that having liked adams flash well enough.
Superman hasn’t had a good ongoing since tomasi was kicked off for Bendis.
No one is recycling the garbage trainwreck that is post crisis Aquaman with hook hand Orin.
As of now Arthur Curry has beeen the most badass hero of DC even on fucking brave and the bold and comics RN
hating ultimate MM and shilling X-men
Hi gwenschizo
Absolute WW, Batman, Superman, Flash, GL Are all awful
retard detected.
Ultimates, Ult Spider-man, Ult Panther, Ult Wolverine All dog shit
further confirmation. the only book you correctly listed a shit is ultimate wolverine
everything sucks!
You're so boring
I don't really care that they're old. To me they're just different characters and some of them are cool.
he’s a pretty lackluster artist.
no
bump
JLU sucks and is boring
no.
DC:
JLU, JSA, New Gods, Metamorpho, The Question, Challengers of the Unknown, Flash, Aquaman, Batgirl, Nightwing, Green Lantern, Green Arrow, Batman & Robin, Poison Ivy and World's Finest are all entertaining. Plus, Dark Patterns.
Marvel:
Moon Knight, X-Men, Immortal Thor, Venom, F4, Hulk, Deadpool, Weapon X-Men are all enjoyable. I'm also keeping up with Uncanny, Wolverine, Daredevil, WCA, Hellverine and DP/Wolverine and they're alright. Carnage is off to a good start too.
DC:
Flash, Batgirl, Nightwing, Green Lantern, Green Arrow, Poison Ivy are all entertaining. Plus, Dark Patterns.
holy shit taste, batman
oh yeah, what do YOU like?
