Tyler OlsonHOST
It was like this grid you had to fill out.
Tyler OlsonHOST
And as I'm filling it out, like... thinking about the absolute books because i'm thinking of like creator-led books you know like the first things that come to mind that i i bust out right away are like morrison doom patrol uh saga uh um deadly class like i like those things that first came up and i'm thinking about like creators i'm like wait a minute absolute martian manhunter might be in my top 50 easily um and it's just wild how like it turns out that the secret sauce was creative led books this whole time
Pete CollinsGUEST
What I like about it is, and I'm only halfway through Absolute Martian Manhunter.
Pete CollinsGUEST
I haven't finished that one yet.
Pete CollinsGUEST
I am behind on it.
Pete CollinsGUEST
But I have been reading Absolute Green Arrow.
Pete CollinsGUEST
I think what I like about it is it feels like indie comics where characters were licensed off or something.
Pete CollinsGUEST
Here's that character you know and love.
Tyler OlsonHOST
The A covers are gatefold as well.
Tyler OlsonHOST
The A covers are three-way gatefold covers for Wonder Woman, Batman, and Absolute Superman, which is the following week.
Marco AnimotoHOST
Whoa.
Tyler OlsonHOST
Yeah, they're trifold gatefold.
OliHOST
oh that's just shame isn't it
ZanHOST
so i was like so unfortunately we didn't get to meet peach from woco but it wasn't her fault you know yeah um i wanted to meet jason aaron i wanted to meet jason aaron especially because he always tags me on instagram and stuff we're always talking online but jason aaron the creator of absolute superman he was at lunch by the time we were there and at that point and arlo and everybody we were exhausted so we had to go um meeting philip was awesome scott snyder that was incredible
OliHOST
yeah
ZanHOST
that was a good interview bro absolute batman oh man and then he talked to me off camera about he said do not miss absolute batman 25 he said even if you're catching up on the series get your version of absolute batman 25 and then catch up like wow okay you do not want to miss on absolute batman 25 he said that's he said that was akin to he's trying to put his greatest hits like absolute batman is like his greatest hits like to use a music analogy like this is his greatest hits so everything he's putting out right now is going to be incredible um So that was really exciting to see.
55 MINS LATER
OliHOST
Okay.
ZanHOST
So, so in a way, midnight Spider-Man is very akin to brand new day.
ZanHOST
Um, very very much so but but the horror elements are brilliant like i i just i i gotta stop talking about it being vague because i'm gonna spoil it but yeah man i mean and also that's another thing guys if you want us to have combo creators on the the panel please let us know i i put uh i also i wanted to show you this all like jason aaron liked to comment the creator of absolute superman and he tagged us and said he would uh agreeing for an interview
OliHOST
Wow.
AnthonyHOST
But...
AnthonyHOST
The other comics, like Absolute Superman and Superman the Stranger, were kind of proving to be the books to read, if you ask me.
AnthonyHOST
And so for Green Lantern, it's kind of interesting right now.
AnthonyHOST
Obviously, Lanterns, whether you like the show or not, I think has proven to be a success in terms of bringing Green Lantern to, like, the public eye.
PeterHOST
We've got it back.
PeterHOST
in January with a Barbara Gordon focused story seemingly which is cool Cliff Chang's on art for that one so Dragot is still getting a bit of extra time off versus Snyder but that is cool so yeah neat and then we have Absolute Black Canary issue one this is the one shot spinning out of Absolute Green Arrow so obviously we'll have a bit more to talk about with that later when we get to the review of that issue the final issue of that book well not the final but the end of the original arc that was planned anyway And then we got Absolute Superman issue 27.
PeterHOST
So that's going on.
PeterHOST
We got Mirko Kolak on the art, and I don't know who that is, so I have no expectations, but it's not someone that's been on the book as of yet.
22 MINS LATER
MattHOST
like a YA, right?
PeterHOST
Yeah.
PeterHOST
and then we've got Absolute Catwoman the yarn hardcover which collects that six issues plus the Cassandra Cain one shot into the collection soft covers also here um Yes, and then we got Absolute Superman Deluxe Edition Volume 1 hardcover, much like we expected, because we saw the Batman one before.
PeterHOST
This is issues 1 through 14, and it's the same kind of cover style, where it's just the texture with the symbol.
Josh NewellHOST
He died in Absolute Evil, which was a one-shot from last year.
Josh NewellHOST
Hawkman actually killed him, which you can follow more about Hawkman in Absolute Superman, which I know you're working on.
Josh NewellHOST
But Hawkman shows up for Volume 3 and has some interaction with Superman and stuff.
Josh NewellHOST
But he actually killed Green Arrow, Ollie, about a year, year and a half ago.
CharlieHOST
They're kicking Marvel's ass.
CharlieHOST
with this entire line i mean we have there's an absolute superman wonder woman green lantern martian manhunter flash they're coming out the justice league there's tons um but like it's all new takes and once again like i think we are going to start talking about it in the podcast i'm getting like jazz and excited about it it's like something new for us um And it's, like, original stories, which, like, almost I kind of wish this is what James Gunn was doing.
CharlieHOST
We should have been, like, we're making an absolute universe.
CharlieHOST
Well, there's, like, talk of a show or series.
SteveHOST
And like to really spotlight those and get people to check them out if it sounds interesting.
SteveHOST
So, but yeah, I want the company, you know, a lot of people, you know love absolute batman and even though i'm not a huge fan of it i want it to do well i want people to buy it because it's good for comics so so with all that out of the way we'll go to skip the topic this week because number one we couldn't find one we liked number two uh we have a list this week so we'll get to the list of comic books we'll jump in And we'll get to the first one, which is Absolute Superman number 24.
SteveHOST
I have been on the fence with Absolute Superman for a while now.
SteveHOST
It is the last Absolute book that I'm reading.
SteveHOST
I'm on the fence with Green Arrow too, but...
SteveHOST
So I've been hanging on both of my fingernails to Absolute Superman.
SteveHOST
It's been a lot of people punching each other.
SteveHOST
The charm that really brought us into the book at the beginning, the first even 20 issues I felt were pretty strong.
Kevin HinesHOST
I'm Kevin Hines.
Will HinesHOST
And we're continuing our Absolute Milk Sops season, and in particular, Absolute Superman.
Will HinesHOST
