Absolute Power Checklist: Everything You Need to Know About DCs 2024 Crossover

Now listen here, dearie, I’ve got somethin’ to tell ya ’bout this thing called “absolute power.” Don’t get it twisted, it ain’t some fancy thing you hear folks talkin’ ’bout in the big city. It’s somethin’ real, and it’s been in the works for a while. This “absolute power” stuff, it’s like a big ol’ comic book event that DC Comics done put together, and it’s somethin’ you’d want to keep an eye on if you’re into them funny books with the colorful pictures and big ol’ words. Some folks call it a “crossover event,” but what it really means is a whole lotta characters all gettin’ tangled up together in one big story. And let me tell ya, it’s got more twists than a country road after a rainstorm!

Now, this here thing, it’s called “Absolute Power” and it’s a big ol’ deal, I reckon. It’s the last part of what they call the “Dawn of DC” — which is just fancy talk for a whole bunch of stories they been tellin’ about them superheroes. This big event here, it got started on July 3, 2024, and it’s been hoppin’ and boppin’ ever since. The main series has four issues, and them issues been written by a feller named Mark Waid and drawn by a feller named Dan Mora. I reckon they know their way around a pencil and some paper!

Now, if you’re thinkin’ about startin’ this here “Absolute Power” series, let me tell ya, don’t just go pickin’ up the first issue, no sir. You might think that’s how you start, but nope! You need to start with the fourth issue first. I know, it sounds all backwards, but trust me on this one. It’s gonna make more sense if you start with that one, then move on to the special they call the “DC All In Special.” Ain’t that somethin’? They sure like to make things all complicated, don’t they?

So, what’s all the fuss about? Well, this here story’s a mighty big deal in the comic book world, ’cause it pulls a whole bunch of them superheroes together. And when I say superheroes, I mean the big names like Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, and all them other folks that wear capes and save the world. But you know, it ain’t just about the heroes. There’s also a whole mess of villains throwin’ their hats in the ring, and I reckon that makes it real exciting for folks who like that sort of thing.

Now, you might be wonderin’ what “absolute power” really means. Well, I ain’t no expert, but from what I gather, it’s about gettin’ a hold of so much power that you can control everything around you. Like when the bossy woman at the market thinks she can tell everyone what to do, but she’s got a bit more power than just yellin’ at folks. It’s about bein’ in control of all the pieces of the game, and that can be a mighty dangerous thing, lemme tell ya.

But here’s the kicker — with all this power, comes a heap of responsibility. Yessiree, all them superheroes and villains who get a taste of this absolute power? They’re gonna have to face the music. You can’t just go around bein’ the most powerful person in the world without some consequences, and I reckon that’s what this whole “Absolute Power” story is tryin’ to show. There’s always a price to pay when you mess with things bigger than you can handle.

If you’re gonna dive into this “Absolute Power” story, I’d say buckle up. It’s a wild ride. You got heroes turnin’ on each other, villains makin’ their big moves, and a whole lotta folks tryin’ to get their hands on power that they just might not be ready for. It’s like when my neighbor tried to take the whole chicken coop for himself — he didn’t think about what would happen when he had too many chickens to handle! Same thing here, with too much power, it’s bound to get messy.

But if you’re a fan of DC Comics, well, this here’s the kind of story you can’t miss. It’s part of somethin’ bigger, part of a whole mess of tales they’re tellin’ as part of this “Dawn of DC” initiative. Ain’t that a fancy word? It just means a new chapter, I suppose. And this here is the big finale of that chapter, so you best believe it’s gonna be a doozy.

So, if you want to know who’s gonna come out on top in all this mess, and what happens when folks get a taste of that absolute power — you best pick up them comics. And don’t forget, start with that fourth issue like I said. You don’t want to be readin’ things outta order, no sir, that’s just gonna confuse ya. And we don’t want no confusion now, do we?

Now, I reckon that’s enough talk about them funny books. But if you want to know more about what happens when power’s all on the line, you go ahead and grab yourself a copy of “Absolute Power” and see for yourself. I’m sure you’ll be sittin’ on the edge of your seat, wonderin’ what’ll happen next. Just don’t forget what I told ya — too much power ain’t always a good thing!
