Tom King writing Archie loved the Mark Waid run, hopefully it's similar quality

lol what

archiecomics.com/tom-king-and-dan-parent-unite-for-an-archie-story-decades-in-the-making

It's just a one shot actually

yeah, it was pretty funny too

hickmans aliens vs avengers is easily best alien comic marvel released so far

Don't know if y'all keeping up with the Ultimates, but new issue is pretty nuts. Didn't think it'd happen so soon but a main member of the Ultimates team gets clapped. And who it is now has me wondering where does the team go next? The events of issue 6 shows just how far ahead Maker's Council can be, even if you think the Ultimates have a handling of the world around them.

Hulk f\*\*\*in CRUSHED Iron Lad to death, and he's been integral to their whole resistance strategy. Reed DOOM is still present and I'm sure him and Captain America can hold it down. But when it comes to finding and recruiting new heroes, developing tech, and keeping tabs on Stark-Roxxon tech that's still out in the wild that's a major blow to the team

And now that Absolute Superman is out, we now have the Big Three for the new Absolute universe established. Out of the three Superman was the one I was least excited for, and I gotta be honest...this first issue didn't really change that. The premise is pretty cool, it seems like they're really playing up the Superman is the sole protector of earth role. But let's be honest...is that really all that different from the other Superman stories we've gotten in the past? Funnily enough, it feels somewhat similar to what Zach Synder's Man of Steel was going for with Superman. I did enjoy that movie a bit, but unfortunately that whole universe felt rushed. Most I'll say is that there is potential with this universe's Superman. But just going off that first issue...I don't think we'll be seeing the Clark Kent side of Superman.

As for Absolute Batman and Absolute Wonder Woman? F***in great stuff, amazing first issues, and I'm not afraid to jump out the window and call em instant classics. Can't wait for the rest.

Absolute titles are flames man. I’ve kinda fallen off when my CH reading but I’m slowly getting back into it and I feel like DC is killing it right now, can’t wait for Absolute Flash / Martian Manhunter

Probably gonna use their time machine to go back in time

But...the implications!

Yeah that issue was great. I really like ultimate spidey too,Black Panther been ok to me, havent read X-Me, maybe i should.

Oh i went thru waids archie run and it was dope af. Reading some archie horror comics now

Ultimate X-Men is good but it's a slow burn forreal. It picks up around the sixth issue when semblance of a team starts to form. I'm waiting for the first trade to drop because I missed the eighth issue and I have previous issues to a girl I ain't talking to anymore.

Ultimate Black Panther is another one that is a slow burn too and they always have the most exciting part at the very end. Just enough to pull you back in but man

UBP is definitely gonna have a lot of connection with the Ultimates so that's a reason to keep going with it, but it's gonna need to pick it up cause it really be dragging at points.

Afterlife with Archie and Chilling Adventures of Sabrina are some of my favorites, shame that they will never be finished
Life with Archie and the 2015 Jughead series are cool too

Tbh my issue with Ultimate Black Panther (and the other recent BP series) is I feel T'challa lacks personality nowadays. I liked when he was written like a hybrid Doctor Doom / Batman.

Anyone got a rundown on whats going on with DC rn? Been out of the game for maybe 2 years or so (tried to catch up a couple times) but whats this all with the DC All In thing and Absolute stuff?

Also seeing that Barry's Flash is stripped of powers now? Is this a good jumping back in point and has the quality recently been solid?

Omg this is great to hear

its pretty easy catch up since after absolute power, fresh new star and all

basically waller tried to stop metahumans with his amazo robot army, but failed, justice league was formed again after few year hiatus, darkseid bonded with spectre and became this absolute universe or some s***

but i think all in special should be good starting point for this new era

g.i.joe started today and new transformers issue was good, i really love this energonverse stuff

this hard af

Neil Gaiman is f***in cooked.

Absolute Batman, Wonder Woman, and Superman are all f***in heat forreal

might check out Absolute Batman

that first issue aint bad, might read the rest

Honestly all of the absolute titles have been hitting. Lots of hate on the latest issue of batman bc of the artist switch up (walta) but it was just for one issue and a flashback story so

Absolute supes is hella fun too

The maker as a character is overall so f***ing dope
