Absolute Power #3 Is Out Today… How Did Bleeding Cool Do? (Spoilers)
Posted in: Batman, Comics, Comics Publishers, Current News, DC Comics, Superman | Tagged: Absolute Power, amanda waller
A month ago, Bleeding Cool ran some Absolute Power gossip. With Absolute Power #3 on the shelves, we are led to ask… how did we do?
Amanda Waller seizes world power, capturing superpowered individuals, resembling post-9/11 government actions.
Queen Brainiac manipulates global knowledge to overpower other governments, intensifying global conflict.
Depowered heroes, hiding on Themyscira, plan a final stand against Amanda Waller’s forces and a Brainiac-ed Superboy.
Batman considers using Time Commander to reverse the damage; a potential new Superwoman emerges in Lois Lane.

A month ago, Bleeding Cool ran some Absolute Power gossip. With Absolute Power #3 on the shelves, we are led to ask… how did we do? Time for you to mark our homework.
“Amanda Waller’s criticism smacks of criticism of governments after 9/11 or the pandemic, using the circumstances to seize as much power as possible to save people, but in the process, changing the balance in the world and not giving that power back. World government or Justice League? Amanda Waller doesn’t see the difference.”
“The irony, of course, is that she is becoming what she fights against, as she literally takes world power, taking over the entire USA but everyone else…”
“…as she captures and seizes the world’s superpowered individuals, including China’s Great Ten…”
…”while Queen Brainiac gains all world knowledge to use against any other government as leverage to get their way.”
“So with the heroes hiding on Themyscira (see upcoming Wonder Woman), especially from the Queen Braniac-ed Superboy.”
“And Big Barda is ready with her kryptonite bullet, despite what their leader Nightwing tells her, the fight is coming.”
“The heroes are depowered. But just as Amanda Waller used John Starr, The Time Commander, to turn back time and repair Failsafe and the Amazo Robots, might Batman be able to use him to put everything back the way it was? Could there be some overspill? Lois Lane is about to become the new Superwoman again after all…”
“And it might also be worth rereading the Grant Morrison and Rian Hughes Multiversity Map too…”
Not too shabby…
