  All the Absolute books do an amazing job of raising the stakes each issue, but grounding the story in phenomenal lead characters that are extremely easy to get invested in month after month. Read Full Review

  This series continues to be a whole lot of FOMO for me when it comes to the Absolute universe. I want to see the characters and the variations here, and what they mean to this larger storyline being told, but it’s an incredibly frustrating book where I feel like Chase half the time – I have no idea what they’re talking about. Utilizing familiar naming conventions and reworking them isn’t unusual, but it just doesn’t feel grounded and natural here – which I admit makes sense – but it’s proving to be a barrier to enjoyment. It’s got a lot of things I like in terms of characters and some of the concepts of it all, but it still just feels like it’s a kludge from issue to issue with what it’s trying to do, lacking any real clarity. But I’m a sucker to keep reading because I don’t want to miss out on seeing interesting variations of characters I like. Read Full Review
