I respect your opinion, but Williamson isn't really into that style, I mean, reinventing classic characters a lot. He's already said he's going to stick closely to the team's classic runs, and hasn't mentioned anything from 2011 onwards as an influence.

Legion of Super-Heroes (2026)
One thousand years after the Last Son of Krypton’s rocket crashed on the Kent Farm comes a new future inspired by the Man of Steel! But this new future is in danger! Superheroes are outlawed! Deadly enforcers known as the Persuaders keep the populace of the United Planets in check! Worlds are at war! And this dark tomorrow’s last glimmer of hope, R...
There’s no doubt that this is the Gen Z version of the Legion of Superheroes. Everything looks very soft and light and kinda weird. The boys are very feminine, and the girl is athletic and bossy. I’m pretty sure that somebody will turn out to be trans or non-binary very soon.
While I’m not a fan of Sherman‘s faces - they all look kinda bland - I do like his imaginative layouts. There’s def

Yeah, that made me wonder. I like many of Williamson‘s books for their more traditional approach. However, the art alone is so different here, it remains to be seen how much this will resemble the classic books.
Absolute Superman #23
Superman’s hunt for Brainiac brings him up against the Toyman, who may just be the most terrifying villain the Man of Steel has faced yet—and their confrontation will leave Superman shaken in ways he never thought possible!
Doom Patrol #1
The Doom Patrol is broke. Adopting a heroes-for-hire business model to stave off financial and emotional ruin, the team finds itself responding to a simple case—a missing cat. But when this case proves to be far from simple, the world’s strangest heroes find themselves pulled into a truly out-of-this-world situation! And elsewhere, beyond the view ...
LLL!

Black Tower: The Raven Conspiracy #1
Twenty-three-year-old Darren Burroughs out of Audubon, PA, is a “gifted” rookie sent under the guise of a diplomatic aide to train with Division Nine—an obscure, outdated, and easily dismissed arm of British intelligence that specializes in dealing with paranormal incidents. In the right sort of spy circles, they’re known by a different, more feare...
What happened? Did this turn into a parody book? Kathleen Wisneski (editor of this book), do something!
Green Lantern #38
Fast food is a big business in Los Angeles, but there’s more in the fryers than beef tallow. A rivalry is about to shift a cold-cut war into a hot one, and Kyle Rayner’s on the frontline! Meanwhile, Hal Jordan’s mysterious quest has the Guardians of the Universe desperate to stop him. What are they hiding?!
For me, the only interesting part of this issue was the discussion with Ollie. It's actually a good point about the extent of the Flash's powers. My problem is that this arc is dragging on too long. I don't know if this premise covers that many issues. I trust the creative team, so we'll see.Solid art again.
Flash #36
Wally is saving both Central and Keystone cities from everything bad, and he’s ready to scale up. So now he’s running to Metropolis… where he engages in a series of shenanigans and adventures as Wally shows what he can do! Yes, this special issue of Flash features Superman villains going up against the Fastest Man Alive! And maybe even a Battle mec...
Spectacular!!! Finally an issue that reminds me how good this title is. I loved the visuals of the gods, all the development of Diana and even Cale. I really want to read the next issue.
100/10
Absolute Wonder Woman #23
Back from the underworld, Diana returns to Area 41 with more than justice on her mind. What she finds is not what she expected, but neither is life in Gateway, as a new threat is rising. Unfortunately, Diana recognizes this particular threat…the gods themselves have come to Gateway City!
Deathstroke: The Terminator #6
Ravager’s life hangs in the balance as Deathstroke fights for his future against…Deathstroke?! Will this mystery doppelgänger succeed in taking literally everything from him? Can the city caught in their crosshairs survive two Deathstokes? Or will it be the end of everything?
New Titans #38
The spark of Dakota City joins the New Titans crew, sending a shock to the team’s dynamic! But the introduction is short-lived before the team heads to the Amazon for its first big mission!

Daredevil #5
...AND YOUR ENEMIES CLOSER! As the vicious attacks perpetrated by the monstrous and mysterious new figure OMEN hit closer and closer to home, Matt Murdock, A.K.A. DAREDEVIL, is more paranoid than ever - keeping his oldest friends just out of reach and getting up close and personal to finish what Omen started!
Absolute Green Arrow #4
Dinah’s search for the Green Arrow Killer has led them both to discover the truth behind the Island—a place far more horrifying than either of them could ever dream. But most disturbing of all is who they discover there—as Absolute Green Arrow debuts the first appearance of a new Absolute take on a classic DC character.
Superman Unlimited #16
Zod reveals the secrets of his Kryptonite Kingdom. His powers are back. His empire grows, but it’s not enough. He demands more. No matter the cost. Tomorrow Man, Steel, Natasha Irons, and Lana Lang work together to develop a cure for the Kryptonite infection that spreads across the world!
It took a little while, but a truly 5-star issue of Absolute Flash has finally arrived. Free of the usual pacing issues, the story flows smoothly and you can really feel the stakes and the characters' anxieties. The introduction of the two new characters was excellent. I loved the powers and the characterization of Hunter Zolomon. I loved everything I saw here.
Absolute Flash #18
Central City is thrown into chaos as DEO Agent Hunter Zolomon comes to town. Can Wally protect his new home and friends, or will the young hero finally be captured?
Bleeding Hearts #7
After the outrageously bloody events of Out-Break, Poke is overwhelmed by guilt and the beauty of living things…but he also must reckon with the horrible choice he made. Plus: Cara and Rabbit’s final resting place!
Absolute Batman #23
In a climactic showdown, Batman is forced to battle an unyielding enemy in not just the Robins but in himself. More than one dead character signals a call for help…and a symbol of hopelessness as more friends become enemies.
mid and JW already did this Kara taking the lead thing better in House of Brainiac.
Supergirl #16
The Kryptonite Kingdom of El Caldero has been taken over by General Zod! Supergirl gathers her own super-force to infiltrate the Kingdom! Superboy-Prime, Conner Kent, Tomorrow Man, Lois Lane, Steel, Lana Lang, Natasha Irons, Princess Shark, and more of Supergirl’s wild cast! But before they can remove Zod from power, he unleashes a dangerous new fo...
it's solid but already very cluttered and full of characters by the second issue. I liked the conversation between Lois and Zod here, as well as the overall threat. The art is super inconsistent, and that goes for the Supergirl issue too.
Action Comics #1101
Superman returned in last month’s landmark #1100 issue! Now the Man of Steel crashes into the present day and finds himself thrown into the war with Zod! With a few stowaways along for the ride including…young Clark Kent?!The battle for Zod’s Kryptonite Kingdom has already begun! Is Superman’s return too late?
I really enjoyed it until the very last page. I didn't want them to invest even more in Stein's characterization. I know it wasn't Lemire who started it, but insisting on it makes him even more irredeemable, if he isn't already. I loved the flashbacks, they bring a sense of nostalgia and lightness to a story that is otherwise dark. I want to see how it all concludes.
The Fury of Firestorm #5
Firehawk and Martin Stein arrive in Pittsburgh with a plan to save Ronnie from the Firestorm Matrix! But is Ronnie too far gone inside of his own mind to truly be saved?
