Read Absolute Wonder Woman 2 and it’s fine but missing something.


Wish they had done something different with Steve Trevor in comparison to what Lois and the Bat villains are getting.

Barely touched a comic in months, but had some time off this week and spent the week trying to get caught up.

Finally finished the Krakoan Era X-Men and started the new stuff (From the Ashes Era?) I was still invested after Hickman left, but now that it's over I realize how exhausting that shyt was getting. It's so refreshing getting a 'back to basics' X-Men line with the new stuff.

Also finished Absolute Power, which is by far the best DC event in years. Mark Waid has been knocking out the park since he came back a couple years ago.

What if the main bad guy in Absolute Superman isn't Lex

But Ra's Al Ghul (Lazarus Corps)

I think I'm reading X-Titles now just to be reading them. I'm really not invested at all.

It WAS cool to see Kiden Nixon from the OG NYX finally show up though.

I think I’ll wait for the Absolute Batman omnibus to check out the story. I’m just not into reading comics monthly anymore.

Nice theory.
They've done a good job of showing the dangers of AI on both Krypton and Earth as a general theme in the first two issues.

Ultimate Universe - Year 1 was solid. I wish the art was better. But it did a good job showing how bad the Maker's Council was, as well as doing some much needed world building.

This is a good fit. Hickman is great with big ideas, so this should be in his wheelhouse and Marvel tends to interfere when he deals with the more popular properties (so he should be able to do his thing on this without too much interference).

I guess my hesitation comes from this coming out so soon. I really, really liked G.O.D.S. but that book did not need to be hyped as "Hickman's next big idea" and I worry this is something similar. Just a cool book with interesting ideas about Marvel Cosmis and Shi'ar or someshyt
