I guess no one is reading this anymore! Or no one is reviewing it! It’s an okay issue in a story that I am enjoying.
I still don’t buy Wally west as reed Richards. Which is how this reads for me.

I think you are right - no critical reviews and your one user review is a shame for a character that should be a must read each month

George - Jul 4, 2025

It’s too bad because there are some great ideas in this storyline. Wally splitting himself to fight a battle is a good idea. But there are some real problems with it as well.

Well executed. But unoriginal. And a step down from the prior issue.
I may misunderstand what “assorted crisis events” is about.

George, you nailed it beautifully. To me, it's investigatory nature feels more front and centre than most other modern Batman comics. You make a good point, due to its brevity with three issues - we got more frequent mysteries, resulting in more detective elements. The art is beautiful. It adds a grit that really fleshes out its mystery vibe.

George - Jun 22, 2025

Thanks!

This was really odd. It is more like an Amazing Spider-Man team-up than Giant-Size ASM. I thought the cover was supposed to be related to cover itself, but it is more related to whole package.

Art in all three stories was great. But that is almost all good I have to say about it.

Smith's story is so average and boring that it's hard to give it any credit.

Ewing was more

The only weak Absolute series. I suppose it was unrealistic to expect such continued quality.

Cheers George, appreciate the details. Al Ewing's Hulk run was monumental. I've read a lot of his works and I'm seldom disappointed. The problem here is the premise. Even good dialogue wouldn't save it. It's a mystery story but I find myself uninterested in uncovering it. I've made a personal commitment to read all Absolute series. I'm going to stick with it but it's going to take something special to save it. If indeed, it can be saved.

George - Jun 7, 2025

I want to stick with it but there are a lot of good books on the stands. This is by far the worst absolute book, at the bottom of the stack for me, and I need to cut a few books.
