This has to lead to the death of Amanda waller becuase I can't see her going to jail with the influence, resources and dirt she got on EVERYONE.

[@mr.dccomics9018]

Amanda Waller is kinda realistic because there are plenty of people who work for the Government who do crimes and never get in trouble for it. Like Hilary.

[@ginofrancejr555]

I can see that and she stays dead

[@juniorcampbelll4644]

She's delusional and she's gonna get her REALITY CHECK AS HERE PLANS FALL APART AND HER LIFE FLASHING BEFORE HERE EYES

[@gysaidurgans7330]

This storyline reminds me of Teen titans when the brotherhood of Evil are using the titans secret channel to ambush everybody worldwide before they got the chance to regroup. I also noticed a little devils reign in their too with the media 🫢

[@ourmanstan]

@@ginofrancejr555 her deal with trigon tho

[@phillyman2837]

I hope Dan Mora is properly paid for amazing artwork.

[@Connor01988]

Jonathan has a solo issue releasing in September that focuses 110% on him! It’s just one issue, but it should explain everything

[@joshuaingobo1559]

I like that members of the entire superhero community learned what Waller is doing, such as using AI to trick the public into hating superheroes, making deals with people to trap all of the heroes in the main earth, anf making a public speech to depower the entire superhero community with no way out. Mark Waid has done an excellent job in continuing Dawn of DC storylines and having a cohesive continuity for its shared universe. Dane thing with Dan Mora, who has done excellent artwork for the JLA, JLI, JSA, Titans, Doom Patrol, and others. Overall, this comic is great. Let’s hope that later issues of the main series with result in the Bureau of Sovereignity (i.e. Amazos, Failsafe, Brainiac Queen, Sergeant Steel, Dreamer, Oliver, and others) will betray Waller and save the world. Also, Jon turning into an Amazo with no memory of who he is, in which I feel sorry for and that it’s on par with him spending seven years stuck inside a volcano with Ultraman.

[@maximusprime3459]

I bet Ollie is deep undercover.

[@mr.dccomics9018]

Yep. Absolute Power looks good. Wondering what's DC going to look like after it's over.

[@memesarekeem]

Wow, while a lot of the set-up for this event was pretty weak, the event itself is hitting hard. Very pleased to see start off this good, I was worried this was just another summer event that was going to derail all of the ongoings (Cough cough, Knightmares or whatever last year's event was called.) But I'm happy to see where this is going.

[@TevyaSmolka]

Yeah I have a sneaking suspicion Jon is basically screwed and is going to be now a cyborg permanently and now tortured by Amanda Waller which is kind of ironic because he was first tortured by Ultraman and now this by Waller psychological he should be damaged beyond repair at this point but that's just my opinion.

[@Steven-ip8xo]

Hi Fortress of Solitude, Great video about Absolute Power#1"Powerless" /In-Depth Review, keep them coming, Also your latest video was outstanding, Also I for one agree with you Fortress of Solitude, but i also agree with Super Pr guru This has to lead to the exposure Downfall and also Death of Amanda Waller because I can't see her going to jail with the influence, Resources and dirt she still got on Everyone. Also The Review for Absolute Power(mini-series)#1(of)4(November,2024) was incredible, Also Dan Mora is property paid for his Amazing artwork. Also i agree with both you and Josh I too like that members of the entrie Superhero Community their friends Families Allies loved ones and supporters and very soon the people and the public the Government and the Authorities all finally learned what Waller is doing, such as using AI(Artificial Intelligence) to trick and decivie the public into hating Superheros, making deals with people and Bad Guys(1.Dr. Hate,2. Trigon the Terrible,3.Thaaros, 4. Sovereign,5. Brainiac,6.Zen-arh-Urh,7. Vandal Savage, 8.Council of Light/House of Brainiac) to trap all of the heroes in the main earth, and making a public and stupid speech to depower or should I say Temporarily depower the entrie superhero Community with no way out until September and until both the Truth and proof of the Entrie Superhero Community's innocence are finally revealed in September of this year, Also Mark Waid has done an excellent job in countinuing Dawn of DC storylines and having a cohesive continuity for its shared universe. Dane thing with Dan Mora, who has done excellent but also Superb artwork for the JLA, JLI, JSA, Titans, Doom Patrol, Legion of Super-Heroes, and others. Overall this Comic is great. Also Let's hope that later issues of the main series will result in the Bureau of Sovereignty(Amazos,2.Failsafe,3.Brainiac Queen, 4.Sargeant Steel, Dreamer, Green Arrow or should I say Oilver, Suicide Squad Dream Team, Commander Steel and others The People The Public the Authorities and Others) will not only learn the truth not only betray Waller but finally turn against Waller and save the world as payback for her lies in September and October of this year. Also Jon turning into an Amazo with no memory of who he is, in which i feel sorry for and that it's on par with him spending seven years stuck inside a volcano with Ultraman, and in The Absolute Power Super Son he too will remember who he is and he will not only overcome the Brainwashing and conditioning, not only overcome Waller's control with Courage but also turn against Waller and he too will save the day in September of this year, Also Thanks for the early review Fortress. Also Oilver seems to forget that Batman and Waller have always been the same people but at least Batman would never ever manipulate his enemies with bombs in their necks. Although, they're always have been collaborating with other heroes to contingency plans, Also I too see Failsafe and Brainiac Queen not only come to thier senses not only believing and trusting themselves, not only turning on Waller but also betraying Waller and killing her and she stays dead. Also i too agree with Micheal, I think Brainiac is going to resurface and definitely confront Waller personally there's no way he's going to let Waller keep his queen in that state no he's going to free her in September of this year. As for the People, the public, the Civilians and the Authorities they too will not only turn on Waller but also betray her and help the Superhero Community prove their innocence and save the day in September or October of this year, Also thanks for sharing Fortress keep up the good work stay safe out there have a great day and have a Happy 4th of July, and I hope that Waller will finally get what's coming to her soon and have a wonderful day.🙂💪🟢🏋️🦸🥳🙂😍👏😎😃💚

[@jerpanic1]

Nice catch on the GL ring (Wonder Woman claims Hal is ring-less). Like our beloved host of FoS, I wouldn't nit-pick the editor on this. It's possible more is to come regarding this detail, and/or when these issues were written. I nearly sat this event out until TP, but I'm glad I picked up issue 1! I give Waid a huge big ups on opening with Animal Man shortly after the start.

[@joshuaingobo1559]

Thanks for the early review.

[@crims0nlight521]

Hal Jordan’s ring is depowered in the last issue. So Wonder Woman is kinda right.

[@gysaidurgans7330]

True, but next time they need to be careful.

[@FortressofSolitude1138]

@crims0nlight521 wasn't depowered, just drained and returning to earth should recharge it being rhe power battery is inside the earth

[@armlinksa9966]

No. He didn’t have his ring since he resigned from the Corps and returning to earth, he created a new one from a manhunter power skull

[@ginofrancejr555]

I see failsafe and braniac queen betraying waller and killing her and she stayes dead. You have to remember failsafe batman is batman without his rules morlas or sanity

[@gysaidurgans7330]

I’m pretty sure Amanda made some revisions. Giving him free will to kill when necessary🔥 hopefully not

[@mattyt3625]

I mean I honestly hope they don't d*ckrider batman for the millionth time. Or this failsafe character. Fuck them both up for once

[@silver360im]

You're thinking of zar eh nar, which is not inside of failsafe sense the last to issues of batman, all failsafe is is just a program repurposed by waller

[@gysaidurgans7330]

@@silver360im exactly! Same minds do think alike 🫢

[@michaelmacleod6517]

I think Brainiac is going to resurface and definitely confront Waller personally. There's no way he's going to let Waller keep his queen in that state.

[@Vamroc]

Jon Kent has those electrical powers so that might be why Jon was taken and not the others

[@TevyaSmolka]

i can see Jon just been used as a weapon at this point.

[@matthewschwartz6607]

Waller knows that Bruce is Batman and that Clark is Supes now?

[@gysaidurgans7330]

Waller always knew who Bruce was. I’m surprised that she hasn’t revealed his identity yet in absolute power

[@user-em4qv1xz5p]

i think waller is going to be shifting power but not the way it looks and also its about making everyone realize they need to pick a side and get organized well doing the right thing

[@gysaidurgans7330]

So like Devils reign and Marvels civil war. Doesn’t she need to cause real damage to convince people that the causalities are real?

[@mattkugelman4369]

@@gysaidurgans7330unfortunately most folks won’t care, with media manipulation most would rather trust the highest authority of power than just a few superhumans and those with logical sense

[@malicyoung9293]

I don't know, Matt. Green arrow's turn doesn't really make sense to me, honestly. He's always looked skeptically upon the Justice League, to be sure, but Amanda Waller is the physical embodiment of unfettered authority, with no checks and balances whatsoever. This Waller-centric event is called ABSOLUTE POWER for goodness sake. Everything Ollie has ever railed against his entire career. And he's working for her, for real? Ollie, how could you do it?

[@gysaidurgans7330]

Oliver seems to forget that Batman and Waller have always been the same people but at least Batman would never manipulate his enemies with bombs in their necks. Although, they’ve always have been collaborating with other heroes to create contingency plans

[@SarcastiEnchilada]

He might be working as a double agent. You know what they say, keep your friends close, and your enemies closer

[@malicyoung9293]

@@SarcastiEnchilada I think that, too, but I think Josh Williamson is trying hard to convince us readers that Ollie's turn is genuine. But... I'm just not buying it.

[@TevyaSmolka]

great review man

[@batdetectivetheknight4563]

I will check on jon Kent when this whole event blows over.

[@lilbigfan3782]

For a long time for James Gunn dcu, I’m sure absolute power would be a wonderful live action movie.

[@Magmaster13]

Jon is probably going to be dead after this but it was nice having him around while it lasted.

[@juniorcampbelll4644]

The writers baby him too much throwing him from one page to the next without giving him time to learn martial arts and weponise Kryptonian tech

[@juniorcampbelll4644]

Never really using his own brain unlike miles morales

[@kclay1986]

It would be a perfect time for doomday to attack!

[@christofferpardosi1765]

According to me. About Nia holding back, only Waller is still standing in Issue Suicide Squad Dream Team. I forgot what part of the issue... At the end of Superman #15 after Lex loses his mind, Doomsday hits a prison in Hell. Maybe this has something to do with Nia holding back her answer from Waller. It will be interesting to see if the superheroes have recovered their former powers after Absolute power? because after Absolute Power. Doomsday will break free from Hell and face them. And are sovereign bureaus such as Brainiac Queen, Amazos, Failsafe, Green Arrow, Dreamer, and others who betrayed Waller to save the world in the future preparing to face Doomsday? In the action comic Doomsday special, I forgot which issue it was in.... Doomsday has taken over Hell. Even Lucifer, the previous king of hell, asked Martian Manhunter and Supergirl Kara Zor El for help to defeat Doomsday and take his throne back.

[@barriolimbas]

So it's LEGENDS 2024. Hopefully better.

[@superboykevrolf3811]

What happen to Superman after shot from sky? Where he's gone?😮

[@vivekharuncyd4807]

Jon kent better turn back to normal I don't want him as cyborg

Yeah as Superboy not a Superman

[@zyairrbissoon]

I see Aquaman, love him but didn’t he and Mera retire? Like have a whole child and living in a light house retire?

[@gysaidurgans7330]

Retired as king, not from being a superhero

[@zyairrbissoon]

@@gysaidurgans7330 i see, but wasn’t he training Jackson Hyde to be the next Aquaman?

[@skytowergnome4664]

So Ollie gets to be the Tony Stark Civil War in this one? Pretty scummy move on his part. One question: if Waller does take all the heroes captive, experiments on them, kills them... what ever. what happens when someone like Darksied shows up? I'm sure he'll have a good laugh at the power stealing androids before he wipes everyone out. Doesn't look that bad, but I've seen this story line so many times and I'm tired of it. Give it a year and no one will remember it. What I'd like to see is after it is all over the heroes simply stop being heroes and let society fend for itself against the supervillains.

[@matthewschwartz6607]

Does Aquaman still have a book or series ?

[@FortressofSolitude1138]

@@matthewschwartz6607 nope

[@spiderhamilton1]

Great video and review! Absolute Power is further proof that Mark Waid is hands down THE greatest writer in the superhero genre of comics. Periodt. (Anyone want to argue that, I've got time today to show you how wrong you are to think differently) Absolute Power is a gounded earthbound event that isn't using the multiverse or time travel to have the gravest stakes for the heroes and for the danger and conflict be massive and terrifying. It's the first crossover event ever where Batman being front and center to the events resolution over any other character makes absolute sense other than editorial mandate and sales figures. Absolute Power, aside from being a bombastic summer blockbuster, is a perfect meta-morality tale for the US election cycle. Yes, it is completely political and yes it's still an amazing superhero story with only 2 issues out so far. Unlike the last big (great?) political superhero event, Marvel's Civil War, it's doing an incredible job of showing both sides of the political argument. And I dont mean, heroes versus the world, I mean conservative and liberal. It does this by just showing the terrible extremes of both sides and how they're exactly alike. But their represented by Waller and Green Arrow. I hope there is no way out for either. No mind control or going undercover reveal at the end for Arrow and no Earth 3 or alternate possession reveal for Waller. AP fits their actual characters of a sociopathic cowardly megalomaniac and virtue signalling narcissistic hypocrite. Absolute Power looks to become the story arc/event fans are going to want in live action movies in the future. Pay attention, Gunn!
