Oct 27, 2026This was another strong issue that does a great deal of world-building for the Absolute Universe as a whole. I really enjoyed Ray’s explanation of Eleanor Thawne’s history with H.I.V.E. and the organisation itself. Hopefully, we’ll see some of H.I.V.E.’s backstory play out in future issues, or perhaps even a one-shot, because I’d really enjoy exploring that further. Read Full Review

Oct 22, 2026The twentieth issue of Absolute Flash doubles as an origin story for the absolute Atom and as the beginning of a new story arc. The character work, story hook, and visuals are all excellent in this issue. Read Full Review

Oct 21, 2026The Absolute vision of Ray Palmer comes into focus while more mystery abounds! Lemire throws a few new looks into play with a solid script. Haining and Lucas construct vivid looks at the science-driven figure’s perspective with the art. Brace for who else makes an absolute impact this issue! Read Full Review
