i'm reading the absolute dc comics since i finally found a good site for reading comics, starting with absolute flash (i know this is considered a bad one or even the worst one, but, i don't really care, it's the one that grabbed my attention first alongside martian manhunter)
now i don't know much about flash (besides the teen titans version of kid flash), so i can't say i like or hate him compared to other versions of flash, but as of issue 4 i think this comic is solid. i really like his design here.
if i had to rank them, though:

Absolute Martian Manhunter
Absolute Flash
Absolute Wonder Woman
Absolute Superman
Absolute Green Lantern
Absolute Batman
AGL might be above Absolute Superman, but all of these designs are good in my opinion.

I like the Absolute line's concept. It's about time they started making use of all those multiverses and stuff instead of shoving everything into one piddling continuity.

Abs. Manhunter has your seal of approval? I might check it out then, it looks very interesting, like a trippy JoJo in some ways.

Also I hear Black Adam is now in Absolute Supes run.

I'd say Absolute Flash is a 6/10, maybe 7 if I'm being generous, mostly because it seems to be picking up with the two latest issues and I really love Flash's design here (even though most other people seem to hate it, but, whatever, it's my personal opinion on it).
Absolute Martian Manhunter on the other hand is a 9/10, arguably a 10/10, but I'm waiting for the last two issues before I can say that. One of the best things I've seen in terms of the art, and the characters are a lot of fun. The dynamic between John and the Martian is very interesting, the designs of the Martian and Despero/Despair-The-Zero are amazing (although I already said in my other post that the Martian has the best design out of the Absolute cast), and it manages to be extremely profound while still not feeling pretentious or unnecessarily flashy. It's still got humor in it to balance out the deeper, darker moments, and I really appreciate that.

From all of these i just checked Absolute Batman, which is pretty cool, i felt a new fresh on Batman's universe in a long time. Liked the Absolute version of Catwoman too.

They cooked on Absolute Superman/Batman/WW/Martina Manhunter designs while they shit on Green Lantern and Flash designs lol

Green Lantern doesn't even has uniform lol and Flash's just using Mizuni sneakers? Lmao

It's not even a properly design, it's just a "modern" visual style trying to apeal for tennagers


Looks like that envolves Miles Morales suit:

I don't know, was The Flash ever the type of character to have a real complex and crazy design? I feel like this outfit isn't doing anything wrong considering how previous Flash designs look. Even if you say they're just doing it to appeal to teenagers more, I'd say that makes sense because Wally himself is a teenager here.
Green Lantern is fair though. I honestly didn't see how strange her design was until I really took the time to look at it and examine it. Definitely the weakest design here, which is sad because she would look great in an actual uniform.

How is Absolute Supes like?

I keep hearing about them making him "go back to his roots" as Golden Age Superman.

What's that about? Is he more brutal, more preachy, less preachy, more edgy etc

Sadly I can't say anything on that yet. Haven't read it yet.
I wanted to read Absolute Batman next.

Flash always had a simple but elegant appeal imo.

New suit is okay but a bit too unrecognizable.

GL seems a bit plain.

I can love the design despite it being a deviation from the usual Flash design formula since it is the Absolute verse and most of the Absolute Designs are vastly different from their usual selves. So if anything, Absolute Flash is one of the closest to his usual designs.

I guess it's a matter of how different it can be while still being recognizable.

Supes, Wondy and MM are pretty big changes but they have that vibe, that feel to them. Like it's an AU version but at the same time you know it's them.

Flash is not a character I am so familiar with, so idk tbh. But at first glance I don't know that I'd figure out it was him.
