Plot
This comic focuses on the origin of Gwen Stacy. She lost her mother at a young age and discovers that her father is part of a cult called MYSTERIO, which firmly believes there are two timelines: one they live in and the other they should live in, but which was altered with a time shift. In other words, they discovered the Maker's time illusion.
The leader of this cult is Quent more

Yes, absolutely magnificent. This is the kind of tension in a story telling that made Jonathan Hickman the saviour of the Spider-Man universe.

Absolutely stellar.
With the DC Absolute line utterly trouncing Marvel, we need more stories of quality from them.
What a superb twist/reveal.

THE VILTRUMITE WAR CONTINUES! Invincible is stranded on an alien planet, clinging to life, left battered and broken from his battle with Conquest. Nolan and Oliver stay behind to nurse him back to health, but meanwhile, out in space, the war rages on.

THE VILTRUMITE WAR CONTINUES! You all knew it was coming, so might as well get it out of the way early: CONQUEST vs. INVISIBLE - the rematch! This time Invincible won't have Atom Eve to help him, and Conquest won't make the mistake of underestimating him. Can a galaxy-spanning all-out war contain this fight? This issue is not to be missed!

THE VILTRUMITE WAR BEGINS! The entire series has been leading up to this! The pieces are in place, the time to strike is now! It's all out war as the Coalition of Planets finally make its move against the Viltrum Empire--with Invincible stuck in the middle. Things will never be the same after this--and this is INVINCIBLE, so you know we mean it.

Toonstrack reviewed Absolute Batman #4 Jan 19, 2025
This was the best issue yet and brings home the core concept of the series and what makes this Batman different, and why making him decidedly NOT a billionaire was done. This Batman is very not just doing this out of a hatred of evil, but a desire to help people and to curtail corruption by those who have the power to enact change but don't.
Its not the first time the character has flir more

What an issue! It was such a joy to see all these characters sharing an evening, and that twist was brilliant! But most importantly, it felt earned. The entire issue had a weird vibe to it with Gwen calling multiple times and Peter just standing there, not saying a word, which made the twist hit even harder. Best ongoing series right now!

Similar to what Psycamorean mentioned in the previous issue, but what I like about this is Kelly Thompson's character writing. This isn't Wonder Woman talking like she's from the 1800s with Shakespearan thoughts and dialogue that feels stilted wooden and dry. This is Diana Prince talking like a normal person who feels Empathetic, Earnest and Wise. Her chemistry and dialogue with Steve Trevor immed more

THOMPSON & SHERMAN'S RED-HOT REIMAGINING OF WONDER WOMAN UNLEASHES MONSTER MAYHEM! Gateway City has never seen anything like the Harbinger-Prime, the enormous, ravenous monster that has just risen from the depths of the ocean to darken its shores...but the Harbinger has never seen anything like the unstoppable Diana, Princess of the Underworld!
The sad part is that social media these days have gotten more toxic and negativity. I can understand not liking a comic compared to others, but at least try not to be nit-picky. Again, I can also understand that this issue compared to Watchmen is technically a "5 out of 10" but that should not be used to critique or give a number score to an issue. It should be based on your interpretation on whether the characters, story, dialogue, art, and action work on its own

Thompson’s interpretation of Diana is brilliant—strong but empathetic, stern but understanding.
