Absolute Flash Vol. 2: Still Point is perfectly readable and I’m eager for the third volume. But, not that it’s a competition, Jeff Lemire’s Absolute series still ranks for me below the others, especially after Absolute Green Lantern pulled away with a dynamic second volume.
Lemire’s teen-starring book, the only one of the main Absolute titles, delivers what teen-starring books usually do, a protagonist more given to angst and emotion as he learns that great power requires great responsibility. But I continue to feel Lemire doesn’t crack the Absolute ceiling of delivering much more than that.
