Fuck yes. Hopefully this gets the Absolute series back on track. Not familiar with the author but I'm ready to pirate it on day 1.
I think Wonder Woman and Batman have been hitting every issue of their whole run and I'm optimistic about the new Superman run after a bit of a dud ending to the first arc. I just caught up on Green Lantern (BORING) and Flash (turns into a cute queer found family thing after a boring start).
Green Lantern has been terrible. I don't give a shit about any of these characters in any way. The writer seems to be going for alt-fan fiction rather than creating a compelling story in any way. Flash has been boring but at least the art is good. I just caught up on Superman and the addition of the new character could be interesting. They also spoiler a few other characters in the book, so who knows where it'll lead?
You forgot Martian Manhunter, which has the best art that I've seen in at least a decade. Its honestly incredible.
I gotta catch up on MM, I'm only issue 4 or 5. Flash is very much carried by the art. Flash and Green Lantern are actually super similar, imo - queer stories about people tied into the US security state using alien technology to make weapons with a bunch of metaphysical time bending nonsense that puts our hero at the center of the universe, totally America-brained and not a thought for the rest of the world. They don't really fit the ethos of the Absolute universe, imo, totally missing the class and anti-imperialist politics of the big three. Absolute GA should be a welcome return to what this line is supposed to be about.
The story of MM is honestly kind of meh. The art, on the other hand, is stellar.
