No escaping the Bat and Superfamily. They will be here even if it is an event tie-in.

I loathe Damien so this is not exciting at all

I wasn't planning on buying anyway, on account of Absolute Power looks like utter garbage, but a team-up with Damian? It takes effort to make something that repellent.

Honestly, the real pain of these unnecessary crossover events is they're not even a one-&-done thing. They might be more tolerable is they were started and wrapped up in a single month...but no. We have grind everything to a halt for...what is this one? Three or four months at least?

And you just know it's going to end on some cliffhanger teasing the next unwanted crossover.

Such a shame, I could not give a single shit about Absolute Power.

Congrats on Wonder Woman being nominated.

And I can see it winning I think the only competition there is Transformers.

I like what I'm reading about Absolute Power so far with the exception of Diana teaming up with Damian. It just seems kind of redundant with him constantly appearing in the back-up feature in her book. I would have rather seen King use Black Canary, Vixen, Black Orchid, or Dr. Light.

[Gaius]

Nice to the nominations, hope it wins. Another WW book beating Taylor’s Nightwing would be cool.

Please let Diana deflate Damien’s ego every chance she gets.

[HestiasHearth]

Broken record alert: how cool would it be if the secret mastermind behind the Absolute Power event were an obscure Wonder Woman villain named Dr. Cyber? It would be a perfect way to expose the villainess to a sure-to-be-gigantic audience of comic book fans, and give her a huge boost as a DC Comics villain. And Cyber's backstory/comic book history/powerset certainly fits the theme of AP. I always go back to how DC Comics resurrected an obscure villain like Nekron and made him the big bad in a wildly successful event like Blackest Night.

100 % agreed!!

Tom King took up the Wonder Woman title just so he could write SuperSons. Obviously he will always use them in a story wherever he can.

Thatfuk with this cover

Im in love with Totino Tedescos covers

[Gaius]

Rare Sampere miss with that cover, I'm afraid. Now we even get Supes dead parents?

[Guy_McNichts]

Something funny about Tom King insisting he didn't want Diana using a sword or shield in his run, then DC forces an event where everyone loses their powers, so now she HAS to use a sword and shield.
