How’s the event going? I’m a Darkseid fan but checked out of current comics months ago. I was reading Hickman’s Wolverine, but I haven’t see the bloody issue of 2 online. I might wait for an omnibus of this event and cop it.

Are these Absolute side issues involving the characters just mini-series? Or ongoing?

Absolute Power already ended and has no relation to the absolute universe really.
DC All in is the only tie.

Do y’all agree?


I agree with him on his all time villains Mount Rushmore. But his heroes Mount Rushmore is showing recency bias.

Is it good?

Yeah it's not bad at all. I got Batman fatigue and even I liked it.

Bruce is poor and has a job
His mom is alive
He grew up with all his foes
Black Mask rules the city
Alfred is a secret agent
Gordon is the mayor
Bruce is brutal and chops limbs
Bruce is brolic like a hulk
Joker is a billionaire who doesn't laugh.

That... is actually very interesting. Batman is over-saturated as fukk, but this premise you laid out already has me sold in giving it a try
