Mark Waid previews Absolute Power #1 and how it affects Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, and more.
Amanda Waller has been assembling a grand plan to finally swing the pendulum in humanity's favor against those who have the power of Gods, and it all kicks off in Absolute Power . Waller finally makes her big move, and the heroes are not prepared for the storm she's sent their way.
Another key element that makes its presence felt early on in the story is Artificial Intelligence, showing how quickly it can affect people's perceptions in a massive way."I will not have been the first to say this, but about a year or so ago when we started planning this thing out, it was pretty obvious to me that as we get closer and closer to the 2024 elections, regardless of what side of the political spectrum you stand on, that's going to be an accelerant," Waid said.
"That part wasn't the challenging part, because a lot of that, especially in the case of the Titans, for instance, they were laying the groundwork. For Flash, same thing; laying the groundwork for Amanda Waller taking bigger swings. So that wasn't really an issue. Brainiac Queen being the third leg of the Trinity of Evil made perfect sense to us because she's able to bring something that Failsafe and Waller can't to the table," Waid said.
Whle the series does pull from those other books, those who haven't been keeping up with those other stories shouldn't hesitate from jumping right into this."A little bit, but I think we do a pretty good job making sure everything's in context and making sure everyone knows, and we spell out for new readers," Wait said.
