What Even Is Absolute DC? 🤔

Which DC Comics characters deserve the Ultimate Comics treatment?

RIP Earth One we hardly knew ye If you don't like DC's continuity wait 5 years

i discoved this with my friend back when we both got into comics, but Marvel loves wars and DC loves crisis

If it's DC's Ultimate Universe--fantastic! If it's a new reboot, they need to commit and run with it for the foreseeable future.

There really does seem to be a push against the constraints of continuity by the creatives of comic books who just want to do whatever they want with existing characters.

If it's another Earth, no problem. That's a very old DC tradition. I have zero interest in another change in continuity. Every time they "fix" continuity, it creates more problems. It's way past time to stop picking at it. We can live with some ambiguity and even some confusion, but regularly adding new ambiguity and confusion ain't it. Find new ways to "fix" characters. I also would not trust any reporting about this. Every time somebody at DC changes the coffee filter in the break room folks online start screaming "reboot".

The fun thing about DC Comics playing fast and loose with their continuity is that I don’t feel like I have to keep up with it to enjoy a story Marvel can be a little intimidating as an outsider. I wanted to read the X-Men after Avengers vs X-Men but it feel like all the titles were working far too in sync to ignore one of them - so I was like “how much money do I need to drop to get a coherent story?”

I started my collecting in the 70’s with primarily Marvel , got into DC later on , & they eventually became about the same to me, until now where I prefer DC …that being said IMO the only Absolutes at DC is except for relatively small periods Superman & Batman are always the same …I’ll wait to see where this one goes…Staying Nerdy 🖖🏾

I don't read comics that often or at all really but NGL this kind of interesting to me and yeah your not lying about DC rebooting too much because even as someone that doesn't read comics I keep hearing about DC rebooting like the Flash doing Flashpoint to reboot DC into the New 52 and then recently Watchmen's Doctor Manhattan rebooting the DC universe and now this Absolute DC thing like what the hell 😂

The one thing I always thought about DC is that it is a collection of smaller comic book companies. It's almost impossible to be cohesive because of that which is why they came up with crisis events. This is a chance to restart the universe we're all of these things can coexist or at least I'm hoping that's what they're trying to do

I don't mind the Elseworlds type stuff . I also don't mind the continuity being tweaked now and then . However , I think that the main line , within reason , needs to stay the MAIN line .

ive been reading Nicole Maines' suicide squad and its amazing cuz waller and dreamer are a good set of foes for eachother

Ughh i'm so tired of all these crisis's and eras, golden age, silver age, post crisis, New 52, rebirth and now this. I wish they'd just tell linear stories where you like manga you start at issue 1 and go in a line to issue whatever. I'm tired of the lack of continuity and internal consistency. It's not that hard, Kurt Busiek did it with the Astro City universe G.R.R Martin and others did it with Wild Cards why is that so hard for DC? DC needs to get their s__t together.

I am curious if this new ultimate dc universe is going to happen or not because in all honestly I don’t see absolute power connecting to this ultimate dc universe.

So it's another EARTH 1 and EARTH 2

I actually wanted New 52 to work. I liked the idea.... a lot. That, to me at least, was the benchmark of failed internal communication on DC's part. If they had just kept a concise storyboard going for all the titles and creatives to follow, it may have been the great thing they (and me) wanted it to be. What are the chances they learned from their admitted mistakes?

So Black Label but a shared universe?

I don't know what it is or what it will become but, I do enjoy Mark Waid.

Let's hope THE 9000th Reboot of DC isn't an ABSOLUTE waste of time.

Sounds good that they will try an Absolute DC Universe.
