While every title in the Absolute DC line is fantastic, Deniz Camp and Javier Rodriguez's ABSOLUTE MARTIAN MANHUNTER is my favorite by far. Insanely good; invention pours off the page...

ASSORTED CRISIS EVENTS is at the top of the to-read stack every month (and Camp's THE ULTIMATES is my favorite of the line which makes sense given that he's writing ABSOLUTE MARTIAN MANHUNTER which brings me full circle to....

Dig Matt's new employ quite a bit. Intriguing angle.

First exposure to Elektra DD and I dig (missed the entirety of Zdarsky's run).
Want to know where Ahmed's going to take everything so I'll give it a few more issues, maybe the whole first arc, before deciding whether or not to continue. That being said, DD’s at its best when it rises above itself and acts as a vehicle for a unique vision– Miller, Bendis/Maleev, Waid/Martin/Samnee – and I’m not (yet) convinced that that’s the case here.
