I don’t get the appeal of this title. But that’s ok. Not every book is for everybody!

Lobo #1
VRRRRROOOOOOMMMMMMMM! The Main Man’s back, baby!

DC K.O.: Knightfight #4

But when he arrives in a Gotham where Damian achieved that very peace, will Bruce destroy everything his son has built to overcome the Heart of Apokolips's test and re-enter...
I love it. It's pure Scott Synder bombastic style ala Metal. Lux Luthor is fascinating in it. Joshua Williamson beautifully weaves Batman's removal from the tournament - to what looks to be a tournament re-entry. Batman basically gets the "Inner Light" treatment from Star Trek TNG. Living various fictional lives, whilst learning about himself in the process. This comic is a fascinating study of Batman. I love it.
This was a lot of fun.

I still think it's ridiculous that this won an Eisner and Absolute Batman did not. It's still good though. It's not at the bottom in terms of quality for the Absolute universe, the distinction goes to Absolute Green Lantern.

They may be Borg, but there's something...strange about them. Something alluring. Especially when it comes to a particularly individualistic member, Nine. Together, Nine an...
I find myself wondering why this isn't built around John Stewart, Kyle Rayner or Hal Jordan. I just don't find the lead compelling. I get it though, they are trying to do something different - in keeping with the spirit of the Absolute line. I feel this series would be loved were it focused on different characters regardless.
