Kerdese Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 I hope so. I just got mine graded. I have 9.8’s of issues 1-13. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 It can't be worse than the last reboot with Grant Morrison and Jim Lee, that one lasted a whole issue. It also can't be worse reading than the original Lee issues. I bought the Absolute as a Lee fan, and tried to read it for the first time since it came out (even then I'd only read bits and pieces) and yeesh, I couldn't get through it, I couldn't even force myself to finish it. It's bad. And keep in mind I made myself do a Youngblood read-through and managed to complete that. Hopefully it takes inspiration from Alan Moore's run. Haven't reread that in some years, but I'm going to assume that that material holds up. Kerdese 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't reread that in some years, but I'm going to assume that that material holds up. I just read the Moore run a few weeks ago. It's certainly not the greatest work he's ever written but it was totally readable and fairly entertaining considering the weak source material. With that said I recall the Voodoo mini series he wrote being total garbage, though I read that back when it first came out so it's been a while.

He started on the book right as James Robinson started writing it (#15), which was more readable (and better to look at) than any of the rest of them and then.. He was also the artist when they rebooted it for DC/Wildstorm with Scott Lobdell writing it. Again, much more readable for that and certainly better to look at. Travs is awesome.
