I swear to buddha, Absolute Wonder Woman is the best series coming out of the Absolute Universe. I will even sy it's top 3 best modern comic book series coming out right now. I really like the art, and Mattia De Lulis art impressed me so much.
Diana has escaped The Underworld once before; can she do it again? It’s a momentDiana and Circe have always known would come, but when the time actuallyarrives…the price may be higher than one of them is willing to pay! Plus, part two of“Li’l Diana,” with art by the legendary Dustin Nguyen!

Absolute WW is on a role and I just want more!
If you somehow love reading comics, you're reading this series

All of the Absolute books fall somewhere between good and fantastic, but of the six of them this is the one that's really poised to take its place among the greatest portrayals of its protagonist. I haven't read a Wonder Woman run this good since Rucka, and frankly even Rucka wasn't this good every single month.

I really appreciate Professor X stand-in Etienne Lux's journey across the first eight issues from "problematic hot guy who I would 100% schtup if he was real" to "Thank goodness somebody FINALLY kicked that guy in the dick"
Eliza Hellbound saved the world. When written like that, it sounds like a good thing. THE POWER FANTASY finally explores what makes the ultimate good girl gone bad tick-tick-tick.

The first arc of this book was perfectly OK, the sort of thing that I solidly enjoy but don't eagerly look forward to. But this second arc is off to a very promising start, hearkening back to the days of Gotham Central with wonderfully moody and atmospheric art that suits the grimy noir tone perfectly. A very pleasant surprise

Let's start with the obvious.
The art is amazing. Just so beautiful. Welcome to ASM Pepe Laraz, I hope you are staying for a long time.
As for stories? Kelly did good. This is so much better than #61 was and I think it is because it feels like there is a direction here. We are actually going somewhere and not just waiting for plot to happen. That is great and Kelly uses his more

Was super excited to see Ewing attached to a Green Lantern title, and he definitely delivered. Linsday is an artist I haven't really seen a whole lot of, but I like his work here. I particularly think he does a fantastic job of showing the fear in Hal's eyes, with his interaction with the cop at the beginning being when I first noticed it. I know that, after this was announced, Ewing mentioned thimore

8-BALL AND THE POOL PARTY DO A HEIST!
I read X-Men before this and thought to myself "This is perfectly OK, IDK why I'm so down on this comic" and then I read this and remembered what really great McKay looks like.
Also, wonderful work on the art from Domenico Carbone, exciting panel layouts and a fantastic splash page of Tigra.

Absolute Wonder Woman continues to floor me and be the best series out of the Absolute line-up. I also really love the art for Mattia del Luis, I will have to check it out. It is so beautiful.

Why the hell is this site still including reviews by Gabe Hernandez?
The guy literally gives EVERY single comic a low score. He single handidly is bringing down the averages of several great series on this site. His reviews read like rage bait in order to drive up hits on his page.
The guy is a hack, and this site loses credibility by including his reviews.

DENIZ CAMP AND JAVIER RODRIGUEZ TRANSFORM THE ABSOLUTE UNIVERSE! Beyond Mars...beyond physical form...beyond Human Understanding...all that's left is the ultimate alien: the Absolute Martian Manhunter!
I'm new here and have no problem with a neg review as long as it's explained. The same should be true in reverse. I see a lot of 10 reviews without a single word to explain why. I'm not going to but I really would want to blindly rate 1's just to counter them.
@Weird Science Jim - This site has definitely taken a serious nosedive, as has the comic industry in general. Most books average about $5 per issue, and read in about 15 minutes. But I honestly doubt most of the users on this site are even bothering to buy their comics. Probably just reading them online. ...Anyway! Yeah, this site has become riddled with toxic folks who readily attack anyone that doesn't agree with them. Silly drama over cartoon books.
Ryan North is too smart a writer to dwell on the irony of Ben being unhappy to NOT be a monster and instead goes so hard on Ben's sense of helplessness and violation that the issue brought me to tears — something this series does to me on the regular. A wonderfully tender and heartfelt little character piece.

The most touching issue from this series. I was genuinely moved.
